In my (in the industry) experience: Agile killed safe development by pushing superficial internal deadlines that look good instead of are good. Safety requirements therefore are never met, but people keep looking like they're approaching at least one, but end up sacrificing other things that no one is concentrating on, causing more set backs than improvements. Self driving will not be legally commercialized until either someone lobbies bad development onto the roads, or capitalism realizes that quarter profit isn't as important as ten year profit and Agile finally burns in a god damn fire.
He is. Just about anyone who works in computer vision based machine learning knows this man. He's insane and I would hire him on the spot, but there's no way a company I work for could afford what he's worth.
That's LLM bull. The model already knows hangman; it's in the training data. It can introduce variations on the data, especially in response to your stimuli, but it doesn't reinvent that way. If you want to see how it can go astray ask it about stuff you know very well, and watch how it's responses devolve. Better yet, gaslight it. It's very easy to convince LLMs that they're wrong because they're usually trained for yes-manning and non confrontation.
Now don't get me wrong, LLMs are wicked neat, but they don't come up with new ideas, but they can be pushed towards new concepts, even when they don't grasp them. They're really good at sounding sure of themselves, and can easily get people to "learn" new "facts" from them, even when completely wrong. Always look up their sources, (which Bard (Google's) can natively get for you in its UI) but enjoy their new ideas for the sake of inspiration. They're neat toys, which can be used to provide natural language interfaces to expert systems. They aren't expert systems.
But also, and more importantly, that's not zero-shot learning. Neat little anecdote from a conversation with them though. Which model are you using?
This is a fair question. But also, we're talking about one of the most influential minds in deep learning. If anything he's selling himself short. He's definitely not first author on most of them, but I would give all my limbs to work in his lab.
They still need to go through Sony to get it onto the PS5. And Sony's forced weird things before. It's why there was an exclusive character for each console during Soul Calibur 2 days, Sony forced exclusive content in a game they didn't publish in order to have that game on their console. There are plenty of other examples from that time, but I didn't own a Sony system back then, so I can't remember any off the top of my head.
Sony has final say on anything that goes into their console's library, but they mostly mess with directly published games these days.
I love discord, for what it's for. Quick synchronous talks you will never refer back to again. So not software development where indexable logs of information are necessary. I know discord has indexing, and now some form of forum. But every discord I've been to for development (especially modding communities) has a large corpus of synchronous logs where people get annoyed if you ask a question that was answered one before a long time ago with extremely common language making it nearly impossible to search for because the keywords have been used out of context of your question hundreds of times since the question was asked.
If the Dev communities used the forums mode in discord more, it wouldn't always solve it, but it'd be much better. There are better places than discord for these things, but I have been trying to meet people where they're established.
I tried to get into BCI for both personal reasons and for prosthetic reasons. I admit being able to control my computer faster, and draw/play things faster and more accurately was the goal for myself, but the greater good of improved prosthetics was always on my mind and so fascinating to follow progress on.
When I got called for an initial interview with Neurolink, I turned it down, an entry-ish position for what was at the time my dream job, just because I heard the name Elon and would never work for a two bit hack that thinks 80 hours a week is the minimum time you should spend if you want to make any difference (paraphrased direct quote from the man who "works" 120 hours a week according to himself, and sleeps at his desk a solid chunk of that according to his employees).
If we do ever get transhumanism, it will be too expensive to be for the greater good. Only the rich, who have proven themselves incapable of initiating positive change without financial incentive, will be able to afford it for many generations.
Fabulous Crusty. I don't hate his work or his decisions, as he wanted to do what he liked, and he found a new audience with it. Absolutely good for him.
I miss his old content he probably decided was cringe, or perhaps YouTube deemed controversial like his playthrough of Rinse and Repeat. Rinse and Repeat isn't controversial as far as I know(?) and had censor blurs. As someone in the LGBTA, I didn't find his reactions to be inappropriate, and I liked his exploration of the jank of that game. Although I'm not sure why he played it, other than "this game is weird, it'll get clicks."
He's deleted or delisted a lot of my favorite videos from back in the day (or I can't find his old channel, not sure). I hope he's doing well, I just miss the really random weird stuff he was playing. I did enjoy the Shadow of War stuff though.
Because if you're poor, it's because Jesus is punishing you for something. (This is a slight exaggeration of the mindset.)
For showing my point I like the joke that was made of the pastor in Katrina turning down help from the coast guard three times because God will save me, then drowning, getting to the pearly gates and asking why he wasn't saved. The response was "I tried three times. You didn't get on any of the helicopters I sent to save you." There are direct parallels to religious figures claiming God will save them from COVID and not wearing masks or getting vaccines or anything, then dieing of COVID not months later. And those weren't jokes. They were in the news...
Religion is taught very poorly here in a lot of places, and it's very predatory in a lot of the US. Any religious television here is only a scam.
Eh. I'm in the ace umbrella and I'd be honored to be associated. One of the most important tenants of BDSM is consent. And if everyone is consenting, I won't be forced into situations I'm uncomfortable with. These people probably associate BDSM with Fifty Shade of Gray, which the BDSM community, last I checked, hates with a burning passion because it's very nonconsensual.

I only really saw that in grade school. And it was a Red Scare thing. Super culty, but so is all the McCarthy stuff.
