I guess in the end the journalist didn't feel necessary to impact his readers with punchy one line stats and bold infographic-ready layouts, considering he opted for the first draft.

If people are so convinced the market is gonna crash very soon they can just short it and make millions easily.

Funny how no one's doing that amidst all the concerns and outcries expressed online.

That's good for CS and CE related work. Too many people went there not because they liked programming or engineering but because they wanted to get rich fast.

Hopefully this means the clogged up job market will stop being the clown circus it is now.

That was exactly my sentiment.

My parents pushed me hard to do piano when I was around 10-12. After a year that went pretty well I was starting to get lazy and put very little work and investment into preparing for the next lesson. They still had me play piano a full year until they eventually gave up and bitterly told me what a waste my resignation felt to them.

20 years later, I got back to playing piano, and I can't thank my parent enough for having me to continue playing in my teenage years. Because it only took me a few month to be able to play pretty advanced piano sheets compared to some of my relatives who are struggling with the basics starting it in their adulthood.

Same for maths. I feel that a lot of people like the author of this blog post are being extremely misdirected thinking math can and should be taught in a fun or amusing manner every time.

Sure, a lot of topics in Maths can be made more digestible by "gameification" to help younglings develop an intuition. But a very big part of Maths actually requires you to sit down and painstakingly crunch down the numbers/equations, memorize and learn when to apply the correct methods to solve some problems. And even though this part can feel fun and engaging after a while, you can't expect children to exhibit such interest right of the bat without having them first struggle with the classics.

Kids don't know better. Your role as a parent is to navigate along the fine line of forcing your kid to get good exposure to the (boring) activities we adults value and letting him enjoy what he enjoys. Only in doing that will your kid open up to the world and grow up into a functional human being.

Bullish on the prospects for small players, then.

Why wouldn't it be?

I noticed that all text looked garbled up when I had some lucid dreams. When diffusion models started to gain attention, I made the connection that text generated in generated images also looked garbled up.

Maybe all of those are clues that parts of the human subconscious mind operate pretty close to the principles behind diffusion models.

Transistors.

Where's my medal?

One could even argue that life itself is a Ponzi scheme.

I don't live in the US. By steak sandwich, I meant a burger with beef patty.

The burger was advertised as having two beef patty but the combined height, and hence volume of the two patties lying on top of one another was that of a single beef patty that you could buy in supermarket.

The steaks they served in the double beef steak sandwich I got a few weeks ago was basically a single steak horizontally sliced into two. Served overcooked and overpriced.

Or placing coffins in front of the Eiffel tower. Or painting red hands on Jewish cult monuments.

Yes but it's about 130 millions illiterate adults in a 300 millions population country. It is important.

Family-friendly policies are investments that bear fruit 20 years from now, far too long a commitment for our short-sighted governments.

What about the lost decade of the 2000s?

I'd give it to team Silent for their writing of Silent Hill 2.

This. OSM is a gold mine.

It deserves all the praises it gets.

Since students themself use AI to write essays, those grading AI will be evaluating the most average writing anyway. We've now come full circle, just losing our ability to write in the process.

I will live to see the day Tinder becomes a place devoided of any human and filled with chatGPT instances courting each others.

I still have the mental image of that SINGLE banana wrapped in plastic in a random 7-11 I went to during my trip to Japan a few months ago.

Hard to keep a straight face reading that headline with that image burned in my mind.

I don't see the problem with a corner cutter question located around the end of a test.

It filters people into:

- those who don't manage time efficiently by investing too much energy on a problem.

- those who did cut the corner and as a result got an edge with a few more questions solved

- the genius ones, who solved everything, in whatever order

If the objective of a test is classifying candidates and time management is one of the metric considered, then this kind of testing pattern absolutely makes sense.

I was one of those who never cut corners and just focused on the problem at hand until failure, and now that I am working and need to get things done I wished my teachers trained me that skill.

If the true value is speculation, it will never stabilize.

Thanks for your suggestion about RWKV. I'll read up on that.

Even if the user input at every step is just normal conversation sentences? By that I mean very short, not MB of text.

Okay, would you say the same thing about renting your car? Your computer? Your bed? Your toothbrush?

Where do you draw the limit? Because you could justify being a forever renter about anything with your logic.

Being a forever renter is being dependent on the whim of those who lend you "your" stuff. It's only natural that many people do not want that kind of lifestyle.

Not only is it essential for the defense of our planet, but it will be very important economically. Being able to capture asteroids within the moon's orbit to be able to mine them will propel humanity forward.

After energy, material will be the most pressing issue.

Maybe there is years of data available on that?

If so, someone should do an analysis of how much politicians pocketed since then.

> "To succeed at the pleading stage of a WPA claim, a plaintiff must allege an injury to 'his or her business, his or her person, or his or her reputation,'" the judges ruled.

So.. It's okay if I record private conversation from high ranking states officials as long as I don't harm their reputation with it?

It's okay if I stole state intelligence as long as I don't harm my country with it?
