This however is a very, VERY poor situation when you end up placing your employer at risk because you think copyright doesn't matter and everything on the internet is fair game.
This is probably the most polite way I would describe this to most, UG. For the rest, jus stop acting like cheating through a situation to get a step up is the norm, it's just dirty behaviour.
Yes I understand sometimes something is better than nothing but teams is _so_ bad it causes user communities to fracture when they would previously congregate on the same platform.
Sure if deployed correctly and not by ape sysadmins with a thump of "deny everything in terms of security" I'm sure teams is a reasonable product, but in the real world, no, it's a nightmare.
Otherwise, well just like that gym membership, you get out what you put into it...
I just wish we didn't have to rely on hiring 100 on paper workers for 5 excellent people committed to the company...
For a competent doctor it's used too let a patient know they're doing their job and an acknowledgement of symptoms.
Unfortunately to a _lot_ of the field "catch-all" "diagnoses" (in intentionally separating these labels). It's the same as diagnosing someone with chronic fatigue. It's diagnosing via exclusion.
The difference between chronic fatigue and brain disorders being that you're more likely to get someone looking to make a "name for themselves" diagnosing or curing the latter vs the former...
It would be awesome to have a way of finding them in advance but this is also just a case of avoid pure DNNs due to their strong reliance on initialization parameters.
Looking at transformers by comparison you see a much much weaker dependence of the model on the input initial parameters. Does this mean the model is better or worse at learning or just more stable?
2) hard-coded secrets - this is just against best practice. don't do this _ever_ there's a reason secure enclaves exist, not working it into your workflow is only permissible if you're working with black-box proprietary tools.
3) hidden user - this is again against best practice allowing for feature creep via permissions creep. If you need privileged hidden remote accessible accounts at least restrict access and log _everything_.
4) ssrf - bad but should be isolated so is much less of an issue. technically against best practices again, but widely done in production.
5) use of python eval in production - no, no, no, no, never, _ever_ do this. this is just asking for problems for anything tied to remote agents unless the point of the tool is shell replication.
6) static aes keys / blindly relying on encryption to indicate trusted origin - see bug2, also don't use encryption as origin verification if the client may do _bad_ things
parsing that was... well... yeah, I can see why that turned into a mess, the main thing missing is a high-level clear picture of the situation vs a teardown of multiple bugs and a brain dump
Although sociology is perfectly quantifiable and measurable. Even though arguably the underlying relationships between the measurements are extremely difficult to extract.
A better example is pure philosophy and maths rather than sociology to particle theory. But then again, nobody ever accused QFT of being too simple, so maybe I'm arguing against my own point there.
Interesting, I read it as the other way round.
I wonder which of the many worlds is correct :p
The moon example is painful, but I was assuming to be a "if the tree falls in the forest... yada yada yada..." Example to justify words on a page. Although at the time my brain was screaming about things like tidal forces and gravitational effects, asif I was about to start discussing the retrograde motion of Venus with a flat earther who doesn't actually want to learn anything with rigour...
Personally I'm more worried by the comparison of Planks constant in the small to c in GR. Yes they represent asymptotic limits in many regards but are certainly not equivalent imho.
You are aware of the "incentives" offered by the French govt?
Such wonderful options as the ability to go the shops without being arrested that came with, "take the mandated medicine".
Remember, France was one of the wonderful countries where you couldn't legally shop or work if you were deemed to be 'not at risk' && 'unvaccinated' and achieved a very high rate as a result biasing the control group. (This is a purely statistical statement)
And for reference, I do think the vax is dangerous in terms of massive populations and we don't have mass graves due to mRNA problems (although several large cancer blips). In the same way in countries with low vaccination rates we don't have mass graves at 10% population or higher. Cv19 was always going to kill and an untested treatment is likely to kill those who were at risk.
(I'm willing to bet in the case of cv19 the ones who were hit hardest would have been hit badly by either vector, virus or mRNA. But we'll pretty much never be able to prove or disprove that...)
I'm sure both extremes will jump to the rallying cry of "2 more weeks..." So yes of course I'm wrong, I only worked on analysing early 'data' and pulling apart the models so what do I know.
But in seriousness it's management failure to build up debt like that. Either self management, middle management or out of touch management. There's a reason that good managers are needed. And unfortunately most management is dealing with people and/or real-world, not a fixed in stone RFC or list of vendor requirements from legal.
After this was pointed out pandemic "planning" in the UK simply went from per-week to monthly plannings following the same broken model...
It still turned out to be crazily wrong and over predicted every, single, metric, by orders of magnitude that it was tasked with simulating.
Not too mention it couldn't load configs correctly. Work correctly on the national academic supercomputer. Or gracefully present any results/findings.
This was signed off _blindly_ by the cluster admins, academics, policy advisors and international "experts". And there was significant push back for over a week once this had been demonstrated that there must be a problem with the test methodology (simply running and *checking* the output multiple times). Ask me how I know there wasn't.
The whole field of pandemic modelling I'm sure has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, but it's a shocking sad truth most/all UG computing students with a 1st could have done a better job than these experts at the top of their field.
How to scream I'm the worst of online discorse
I worry what these people were doing before they "fell under the evil grasp of the AI tool". They obviously aren't interacting with humanity in a normal or healthy way. Frankly I'd blame the parents, but on here everything is b&w and everyone should still be locked up who isn't vaxxed according to those who won't touch grass... (I'm pointing out how binary internet discussion has become to the oh so hurt by that throw away remark)
The problem is raising children via the internet, it's always and will always be a bad idea.
I have a really nice bridge to sell you...
This "failure" is just a grab at trying to look "cool" and "innovative" I'd bet. Anyone with a modicum of understanding of the tooling (or hell experience they've been around for a few years now, enough for people to build a feeling for this), knows that this it's not a task for a pre-trained general LLM.
