I always wonder who the hell is clicking these ads. I skip all you tube ads (thanks Adblock)… I never click banner ads on principle. I assume anything paying for my eyeball time is a scam. So who is this shit working on? These companies mus

Can someone define “improvement” in this context? This concept feels like a buzz word otherwise.

Is this shocking? Grokipedia is an opaque system designed to confirm the opinions of its owner. Why should we expect any kind of coherent transparency?

As long as there’s a trade off between experimentation and performance, software will always be slightly too slow.

Voting with your wallet can work, but consolidation increasingly makes voting with your wallet a double or triple whammy. 1) alternatives may be more expensive by dollars 2) alternatives may be more expensive by time 3) time/money lost

I’ve always suspected the “index funds are the safest investment” system is ripe for exploitation.

I love go, but I find it did little to make concurrency management easier to reason about. Race conditions are easy to write. Go routines have all the same concurrency problems of threads. In the parallel HTTP fetcher, the error is discarde

No. Why is this a question?

The documentation reference a “decode” function, and it’s imported to the example code, but it’s never called. I’m not sure what the API is after reading the examples.

The output of the transformation layers are a collection of embeddings in the latent concept space. Those can be fed into an addition model to extract semantic segments, bounding boxes etc. IIUC this is how dinov3 works.

It’s the same assumption is required for any hole punching handshake (including STUN). > This is a property called “equal delta mapping” FWIW I’ve worked in computer networking for 20 years and have never heard it called this. This blog

The foundation models themselves will be cheap to deploy, but we’ll still need general purpose inferencing hardware to work along side them, converting latent intermediate layers to useful, application-specific concerns. This may level off

It's funny that humans working together for mutual benefit via any other mechanism than regimented corporate slavery is considered insane.

I’m wholly in support of protecting vulnerable people. This article used the word “laser” much more than I would have thought necessary. Couldn’t we accomplish the same thing with analyzing cctv video?

Right? A “contract” that only one party needs to abide by is not a contract… it’s an abusive relationship.

The Uber business model is: Undercut competition. Use borrowed money to sell rides under cost. Wait for all competitors to die. Jack up prices. AFAIK they’re still living on borrowed money. It reminds me of the airline deregulation of the 9

The simplest example I can think of is: Map(slice, func) You can can implement this generically in Go using interface{} types and runtime type checking, but then you have runtime type checking failures. A java/c++-esque "generics&
