No it isn't. Performing fingerprinting on user's devices, to ultimately profit of financially or worse is misleading. Especially doing this while knowing the user isn't aware what this really means and just deciding it for them.
The headline is just an exaggerated way of saying what is really happening.
Why? Isn't obvious to me..
I'm an engineer (not only software) by heart, but after seeing what Opus 4.6 based agents are capable of and especially the rate of improvement, i think the direction is clear.
Hm, as i understand it, parts of the training of e.g. ChatGPT could be called RL models. But the subject to be trained/fine tuned is still a seq2seq next token predictor transformer neural net.
Is it really about rewards? Im genuinely curious. Because its not a RL model.
I'm saying that the number of good software offerings is too low, to have a significant impact on the country's economy.
One of the advantages Germany had though, was a somewhat good and accessible higher education system in regards of computer science.
Now, with software development becoming a commodity, this advantage vanishes.
The state of the german IT sector also shows that.
Most startups have nearly no moat at all and purely live off marketing with some sprinkles of corporate identity.
If a human put his effort into it, is proud of it and wants to show it to the world, i'm happy to invest some time to have a look at it and maybe provide some helpful feedback.
I'm not willing to invest my time into evaluating the more or less correct sounding ideas of a ML model.
Wow this is really cyberpunk.
I'll bring my Yubikey!
Awesome :D
Exactly and the world has to start talking about it. Eventually everybody will, including all sorts of politicians who advocate to 'finally tackle the problem', which will be too late.
I view Tesla also more as a robot company than anything else.
It's just a joy to use and i also like it a lot design wise.
I like that it has a big display for 4 RPN rows, but i admit that that's something software calculators would even be better at.
It definitely has a nostalgic/romantic side to it for me.
Oh and for every day stuff, i really like to use Spotlight on macOS. It's really convenient: Command+Space, then just type the expression into the search box.
Some UX friction i noticed: To get back to the homepage from an article, i have to click on the article headline. While this is elegant and you likely get used to it, once you know it, it's not exactly intuitive.
While you're here, what other classical music can you recommend, especially for listening while working/focusing?
For me, it's currently
- Max Richter, discovered recently and he is fantastic
- The 'New Classical Essentials' playlist in Apple Music
- Brahms, especially String Sextet No. 1 (warning: can make Vulcans cry)
