This reads like the author attempted to prompt an AI not to write like an AI. Normally, I do not care if a blog post is AI written, but in this case I could not follow the result
Not everyone is duplicitous, and it’s not surprising that the experts on a technology work at a company that creates the technology. I assume you’d think the study was valid if the Moderna staff were testing a Pfizer vaccine?
I think CS degrees are a bit light on classical theory in the modern day. In Australia CS degrees are what they say on the tin, but in America it seems almost as if CS degrees are anywhere from cybernetics to pure software development
It’s very intuitively appealing. We like it at my university for teaching first years how to build a line following robot. It’s one of the first times you can get students to really get that “ah” moment when they realise what they can do with code—it can affect the real world!
The fascination of programmer types with classical control and estimation topics is endlessly interesting as someone who studied control and estimation and hangs out here for interest in the programming. For me it was surprising to see that JEPA is a model predictive control algorithm it an almost literal sense; I guess I’m happy to have studied what I chose when I was 18.
Thermodynamically, heat is waste energy. EVs are so efficient that scavenging isn’t practical anymore; I’m not sure the temperature gets high enough to usefully extract the heat energy for heating. ICE cars obviously produce mostly heat so getting a radiator hot enough to heat the cabin is very easy
Look. Academia is also tertiary education. To have teachers not practice a diversity mindset is to the detriment of all else. Tolerance of intolerance is not tolerance at all. I think the mistake you make is attributing all of this to ideology as if it is the only thing that matters. That is such a post-modern and bleak world view when in fact the majority of people are looking for opportunity. Diversity of thinking, as AI itself sort of proves, is a driver of innovation within a given environment and culture. AI’s usefulness is directly related to the diversity of data on which it is trained and nothing else.
I will say to have DEI policy cover research is a terrible thing; but how many examples do you really have? How many are proven; scientists are not arbiters for truth themselves and colour science as much as policy and media. There will always be extreme outliers in all directions and mistakes, and what have you. The solution is to relax those constraints,not to fight back with more.
But that’s okay, because academia will once again become the domain of those rich and fortunate enough to practice it in their free time. Obviously, it has no value to the administration outside of the results it returns to business and productivity. So there’s not point arguing about something that won’t be here
“Choice” is funny because consumers never choose what the products are, only from the existing products. People harp on choice as a boon for windows laptops but you cannot choose an affordable laptop with great build quality and speed and battery unless you buy a Mac. Framework is the closest company to providing real choice to consumers but you have to be technically minded to approach that product (and I’m glad it exists).
I think consumers’ expectations regarding what they can get is coloured by ages-old reddit opinions which have circulated into household knowledge. The answer is so clearly whatever apple is making at the moment yet no other company (except maybe Microsoft with the surface line) can string together direct competition
It’s also hard to develop taste in an environment flooded with content. I am not sure how much of that is AI writing getting better, and how much of that is just a lack of taste from the newest members
* people want stable answers from AI, which is pretty much regression to the mean
* there is a safety element in there, not agreeing with the user every time is easiest if large institutions are leant on, tempering the sycophantic behaviour may result in this kind of behaviour
I think the thing that needs a finger on it is really of trust, and the anthropomorphic appearance of AI versus, say, a newspaper clipping, billboard, or ad. AI with this “human like” appearance draws
* unearned trust from people who expect social queues correlate with humanity
* unearned skepticism from people who see this gap between social queues and actual “care” as totally cynical control and manipulation
We are also in this crazy post-free-money world, where everyone was exposed to almost free, quality tools through the 2010s. Call it democratisation for a spell. This article feels like part of the hangover from that. In the past, institutions had exactly this sort of power.
What mattered yesterday is not going to be what matters tomorrow. Support your local library! Build your own!
Perhaps you are unaware, but the great wave is a wood block print. That’s not to say that the strokes aren’t amazing, but they didn’t need to be created in one pass
I just feel like this problem is something where unfettered capitalism does not work. What we are discussing here is a public utility, and should be managed as such
