On the plus side, it would be nice to make an example of Google and deal a blow to ad tech in general. At this point even putting to sleep the entire google(or any other ad tech company of your choosi…

I'm on the other side of the divide from you. However, mine and many other folks' position is not preferring untargeted intrusive annoying ads over targeted intrusive annoying ads. It's…

Unfortunately a lot of economic activity in general today is just money-on-money financialism. It is all just gambling and rent seeking and dishonesty. These practices are whitewashed and given variou…

Neural networks and backpropagation were known in the 90s too.

What? Yes the modelling technique falls under "deep learning" but it still very much processes language and language only, making it NLP. Yes yes, language modelling ends up being surprising…

Yep, you're right.

> how did you decide that such a database has no serious utility to the governments and private institutions worldwide I did not. I said that the signal noise ratio has to be improved. I explicitly…

Likening CVE database maintainers to natural disaster response teams and an entire country's medical board is quite the achievement in hyperbole, congratulations. Anyway, my opinion is that CVEs …

I disagree with but understand selling AI as a hot thing that can reliably do things to other companies. False marketing has been around since "buh buh" sold a deer corpse to "bah bah&q…

Good. CVEs were the poster boy of goodharts law for the longest time. Most security vulnerabilities behind CVEs are utterly meaningless.

Can you explain how? I'm an (aspiring)

python3 -m http.server "${$1:-8080}" "${$2:-.}"

Cool. Once the linked TS issue is resolved it will be able to resolve from files too which is great

+1 for XFCE4-Terminal

That's horrifying

Which norms?

Yep. People love to cut down this argument by saying that a few decades ago, people said the same thing about calculators. But that was a problem too! People losing a large portion of their mental mat…

Yeah. On the other hand, "implement boruvkas MST algorithm in cuda such that only the while(numcomponents > 1) loop runs on the CPU, and everything else runs in the gpu. Memcpy everything onto…

What's wrong with asking people to prove they're disabled? There definitely exist people that lie about being disabled too. Many places have a persons with disability certificate given by th…

> custom additions You can also add it directly when using it. Move the cursor to the word and (I forget the command...) can add it as a rare word, good word or bad word.

On Android, both the first and last example scroll to "Conclusion" in the exact same way for me, and the heading shows up in the same place within the div they are showing the examples in.

I would like to know too

Yep. Offline RL is especially full of these types of papers too. The sheer number of alternatives to the KL divergence to prevent the offline distribution from diverging too far from the collected dat…

Younger teachers get "out there" for the same class of reasons software developers today want to be more "out there" - website,twitter,etc - compared to the relatively quieter pers…

My interpretation is that today other countries are less willing to take on the role the US would like them to. So, the chosen solution in the US now is to wind down this approach, and try to bring ba…

No, this is the effect for the last 50 years' usual "I will have my high paid cushy job while some other country somewhere manufactures products for me, taking on all the negative effects. O…
