That maintenance contract is insane.

I live in a host city and I’d say we are maintaining our world cup homeostasis. No signs of fever whatsoever.

Policy as fight promotion, everybody.

I’m probably a lot older than you

I have stayed out of the sun/worn hats/worn face wraps as much as I could my whole adult life.

I also inject estradiol subQ once a week.

The real story: how much are they going to have to pay, to whom, to make this go away?

Yeah I get this more often. People routinely guess I’m 15 years younger than I am.

Perfect

I’m with your wife on that one, that’s creepy.

Oh yes please yes please, every Catholic engineer go for it.

They are completely authorized to ask for this as a religious accommodation, and Catholics in particular have gotten all kinds of shit this way in the past.

“Jet engine” is absolutely relevant because it gives a clue about the 24/7 banshee wail you’ll be hearing. Most non engineers don’t associate “turbine” with hearing loss.

“Backup motorcycle engine” is actually a pretty good description for a random honda backyard generator.

Bullshit. Republicans always believed in it.

💯

Triceratops is a solid choice, green light.

This is a scandal that plays into his brand, I don’t think it’ll hurt him all that much. Oh wait the ex soldier and marine who works as a skipper makes crude advances to women? stunned

I hope either that they’re poly and she is having to pretend that she gives a crap at all.

I learned about simulated annealing, gradient descent, perceptron feedback methods in the 1990s, when those were still being called AI.

I was the pm for multiple teams that used ML classifiers at a major Internet company to get serious work done, for a decade. Nobody called it AI.

From where I’m sitting, the frenzied use of the term AI on a grand scale for fundraising coincided pretty much exactly with general purpose transformers applied to language models (and to a lesser extent diffusion models).

I feel like calling all machine learning AI is confusing, because it confuses actually well-designed systems that do real stuff with an emperor-has-no-clothes bullshit mania.

It feels like maybe you’re trying to extend the AI halo to non-llm, non-gpt algorithms because you think it will improve the esteem in which the latter type of system is held.

I think the AI branding is a stain, I think there is going to be justified and ferocious backlash, and I would want to keep a perceptual moat between “AI” and whatever I’m building, even if at some point I do want to write code for an npu.

Tyler Durden is not the good guy holy shit

Is this statement true?

“The Wi-Fi allocation algorithm under discussion is a variation of stochastic gradient descent which in practice is typically executed on an npu. It does not make use of a language model or general purpose transformer.”

So your beer can heat up even faster!

That’s not AI, that’s an algorithm.
