Any model that is going to be meaningfully useful is going to have the potential for harm too. It's not possible to know enough about chemistry to be useful to a chemist, without also being able to figure out how to synthesize drugs. I

It's not that simple. The odds are always stacked in favor of the hacker. It's like saying, "why not just make a prison that's impossible to escape from". You can make a prison very, very hard to escape from, but yo

China can produce chips at "7nm", that's more like 8-10 years behind. My M1 macbook pro is 6 years old, and that chip was made using a "5nm" process. The advanced US chips are now on "2nm". Explain to me h

Neither one is illegal though. Scraping the internet is as legal as surfing the internet. And what Anthropic calls "distillation attacks" is really just paying for and using the service Anthropic provides. I would think a judge wo

Ok, and when there's a power outage at my house as happens quite often in CA? When my internet goes out about once a week and I'm not home to reset it, what then? Just tell the customers "Sorry, I'm running this out of m

I'm not asking them to give me something for nothing. The whole point is to get me hooked and spending so that when those credits run out or a year is up, I'll have to start paying cash. That's like saying giving someone free

Nope. No, it's not.

Appears so. I was able to start CPU instances.

Seems like a bait and switch when instead of saying "We can give you that SKU in this data center" they say "We can give you that SKU if you use a paid plan". You must be using some of the higher priced GPUs(which they o

I'm just finshing up my first macOS app. I went with SwiftUI because I was new and didn't want to learn an "old" tech. The reality is outside of very basic stuff, SwiftUI is not capable of doing a lot of stuff, so I ende

Google is progressively getting worse, month by month. I think Bing will overtake them if they just stand still, but it would be a while. At this rate, I think Google could drop the top spot in 5 years or less.

by pejrich 4y ago
If Bing is smart I think there's a real chance to dethrone Google in the coming years. In the past 3 years, Google has gone from damn near perfect, to damn near useless. It no longer even listens to what I type in, and very basic queri

Every piece of art is a collage of other pieces of art. Everyone is inspired by other, and copies others, whether they admit it or not. You can't write a song or paint a picture and say that the way you stroke a brush or strum a guitar

Well, and here enlies the crux of the issue, can a non-human own or break copy right. You know not too long ago a guy gave a camera to a monkey, the photo that money took became popular and he wanted to capitalize, but the US copyright offi

I imagine similar to the use cases for Erlang. Erlang can be a polarizing language, but what it's designed to do, it does exceptionally well, in fact, maybe the best. And that's not concurrency, multicore programming, or distribut

Well then, let us all break out our extra small violins, and play a somber tune, for the person in their late 30s who still has to work 20 hours a week.

I agree. That’s why my focus is not on being native sounding but conveying meaning. If I say “I want to buy a seal.” The most native sounding translation that says “I want to buy a gasket” is useless if my meaning was “I want to buy a (mari

I could be interested. My app is currently translation based(word alignments, sense disambiguating) but had planned to venture into assisted writing for people who need translation assistance, but not 100% help, then giving them a score reg

I think it could be heaps clearer. To almost everyone outside of a small slice of people in the world, there's a bit difference between "The wallet was hacked and funds were successfully removed from it", and "The wallet

Then perhaps I'm naive about how all this works. But to me there's a difference between accessing keys, and accessing funds. Are these the exact keys, in the exact format, that someone could use to access the coins? For example, i

If Java is open and free, then why did Android decide to rewrite Java? I notice a lot of companies seem to avoid Java so there must be some sort of a catch.

I agree with McAfee here. Just because they accessed something they weren't supposed to, doesn't mean it was hacked. The system fails when someone gets access to the coins, because that's what the system was designed to prote

Why? I can't imagine a corporation the size of Google would decide to not buy a company, purely based on what language/framework it uses, assuming that buying the company otherwise makes business sense.

I can't think of anything from Rails that I can't do in Phoenix (i've been a Rails dev for 6 years, and working with Elixir/Phoenix for 2). Of course when it comes to the more exotic or rare libraries, they might be easi

While it's true that Elixir certainly wasn't built from the ground up, and it has benefited heavily from the work of Ericsson on Erlang, Elixir is more than Erlang with different syntax. A lot of stuff in Elixir was rewritten so t
