We use large amounts of synthetic data for training at work and have not observed any sort of model collapse when done properly. Edit: https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.01413 https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.07

You're in luck, neither I nor anyone else want those people near a negotiation table.

Fair objection, but I still think it is lower risk to diffuse power and control of a potentially dangerous and revolutionary technology than to leave it in the hands of the few elites who have not show much ethical integrity so far.

That's an extremely fair objection! But despite the many, many flaws of our government and the current administration, I still have (hopefully) a chance to vote them out of power. I have no such hopes with Sam Altman or Elon Musk.

Do you think things like the Manhattan Project were a mistake? Comparing AI to nuclear weapons is perhaps a stretch, but I think most people recognize that certain technologies or artifacts are best monopolized by our governing bodies. I th

In my mind, democratic control of the technology means that we (the govt, or other empowered agency) take ownership of their assets and IP, solve or find a level of alignment or guardrails that society is comfortable with. Then we distribut

I am an AI Safety Person and I want the government to nationalize or have a significant stake in the frontier labs and to have democratic control of the development of the technology. The AI Safety movement is not a monolith. I do not think

Very cool! I am surprised at the use of 4o, but I guess it was pretty good at OCR for its time

As an inhabitant of Brooklyn, this is pretty funny and spot on. My only criticism is that the prices are too low. Some of the prices are fine, but the upper bound should be increased to the low 20's.

Agreed 100%. Implementing the correct algorithm/business logic is more important than spitting out junk that you don't really understand or won't pass code review. The act of writing code is probably the easiest part of my jo

What an incredibly uninformed and ableist take. There are a plethora of illnesses and disorders that are merely coped with. With no way of improving prognosis, the best medical science can offer is attempting to improve the quality of the l

Oh nice, I didn't realize Blender had a visual scripting system. I knew that they had a Python API like Maya, but the visual stuff is a nice feature to have for art teams. I keep telling myself I'm going to force myself to learn B

It is extremely popular. From Flowgraph in CryEngine to Godot's VisualScript. Even Unity bought the most popular visual scripting asset package, Bolt, and made it standard for all Unity plans. You could also critically think your way t

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the idea of my grandmother being held responsible for the botnet that her coffee maker is a node of.

No it's not. You're confusing superset and subset.

I'd really like to know more about this if you can offer any detail. Do you know about how many devs GE and GM have picked up in Atlanta?

I am really digging this trend.

This is incredible. Thank you.

This is standard practice. The decimal points are generally dividers between major, minor, and patch numbers. Hence why it is not uncommon to see something with a version number like 2.1.4 or similar.

`apt-get install xfce-desktop lightdm` isn't exactly what I would describe as slackware territory.

That's certainly the most mature way to handle such disagreements, I don't think there is any disagreement there. However, it's damn hard to accept that line of reasoning when those opinions lead to a decrease in herd immunit

Regarding D, that's good! I always thought D was very cool, but the two libraries thing kept me away till now. Maybe I'll have to check it out again. It seems like Rust never ceases to impress.

by dorolow 13y ago
I haven't looked at D in a while, but I recall it having two competing standard libraries. I'm pinning all my hopes and dreams on Rust, but as a frequent (ab)user of Boost.Coroutine and gevent I certainly wouldn't mind if Go gained a bit mo

Some developers need tools that offer better performance than the languages you enumerated. Not that I have anything against those languages or more abstract languages in general. Quite the contrary, if it was up to me we'd all be writing l
