You're a genius. Quantum Blockchain that lets you bid on an NFT lootbox being in a particular superposition. Based on the probability, the price will be higher or lower. And immutable. Or something.
I'm pretty sure slaves from any era would kill to have my job where I work from home, have various insurances and investments through my employer, make a lot of money that I can spend on whatever I want and more. When you abstract concepts enough, everything becomes similar but current employment in developed countries is nowhere near slavery.
I extremely resonate with this. I write music and often don't finish a track because it's a lot of tweaking and monotony once you get the main idea down (much like software). But one time my wife wanted to make a "Great British Bake Off" show with her friends and I was suddenly extremely motivated to make the score. I scored the whole 30 minute video and it turned out great.
Can we finally get some good data privacy laws in America? Can we have an open, anonymized ledger of all data sold between companies like some kind of data securities exchange?
At least they included numpy in this one. On their last post, after all their optimizations, numpy.matmul() produced almost the exact same throughput as their most optimized example. Would still need to dig in to see if this one has issues. Benchmarks are always such a minefield.
What makes it the best language for AI and ML? I've never heard that take so just curious your thoughts. It's nice that legacy code still runs but that's usually not people's concern in ML.
I agree in principle and practiced this for many years. But I moved into a role where there is simply no time. I work too much just to keep up with the normal workstream and while I maintain the list, there is no chance I get to it which is even more depressing.
Gotta have a job that allows you that extra time to explore.
I agree about the constraints. That was my biggest complaint when I learned Scala. Every single thing I built there were 10 different ways I could do it and it really slowed me down. I'm sure if I stuck with the language I would get a feel for the idiomatic ways over time but... I'd rather just make stuff.
I live in the suburbs of a large city in the US and I have to physically go to the post office whenever I mail something. My neighborhood has a weird matrix of mailboxes with no way to indicate to the postman that he needs to take something. So I have to drive to a post office every time I want to send mail. We even tried leaving a note in the box and that did not work. It doesn't take an hour but probably 20 minutes round trip.
This analogy is not applicable. Taking the soup deprives those who need it. Scraping the internet does not change that data's availability. Further the models add value on top of the data... They're not just reselling what they scraped.
In my sample size of one, an attorney I talked to said that Microsoft Word was the most important software he and his colleagues used. So my guess is they're just really good with Word.
Prophet has worked so well for us, especially since we have a TON of custom events and holidays to consider. None of the other approaches have really come close.
If anyone wants to get more into Bayesian stats, I will always recommend Statistical Rethinking by Richard McElreath. Maybe my all time favorite text book. He has an accompanying youtube lecture series as well.
Not to rain on your fun, but this already exists. I watched Hikaru Nakamura play it online once. It just gives a random position and you have to guess the centipawn loss of the position. Kinda like Geoguessr for chess.
The guy behind This Museum is (Not) Obsolete has a youtube channel Look Mum No Computer where he creates massive, insane musical instruments out of furbies, hand-made syths, etc. Truly impressive and very entertaining and educational.
No opinion on the model or product itself, but I remember reading a very early math or physics book (think like Euclid's elements or Newton's Principia from Hawking's Anthologies) and the proofs were laid out as a dialog between 2 people being critical of each others arguments. I always thought that was awesome. The point of a proof is to convince its reader, and before a lot of formality was created, they were literally laid out as a dialog where one person tried to convince the other.
I found it an effective and engaging mechanism and use it in my own head all the time.
Yes I've heard that as well. For example I heard 2nd hand that Andrew Wiles at Princeton, who famously solved Fermat's last theorem, is a brilliant researcher but a terrible professor.
I had a math professor from Dartmouth who told me that Dartmouth really emphasized teaching in their phd program and he was indeed an exceptional teacher. I wish that was emphasized more, or they separate hardcore researchers from the teachers.
I posed a similar question to a postdoc at CSAIL. Namely that generative image models like DALL-E consistently screw up the number of eyes and fingers. I wondered if you could use a knowledge graph in conjunction with the drawing algorithm to imbue more realism into the generation. At the time they said they weren't aware of research in that direction. Fair enough. Still interested in seeing if these purely generative models can reference knowledge and apply it.
Except when companies have a breach, they mostly just get a slap on the wrist and everyone moves on. It doesn't tend to materially affect the success of the company except in very rare cases.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but origin and destination are still visible to your ISP and any snoopers on your network. The content is encrypted, but not the origin and destination of the request. I use Mullvad because they seem to be a company with insanely good ethics and it's only $5/month. Mozilla VPN uses the under the hood I think.
