So the difference between the two is just luck?

I apply to a thousand job offers, get rejected every time => I'm stubborn.

I apply for job #1001, I get the job => I'm persistent.

I would say that you are persistent if you keep getting rejected but keep improving but using feedback and you would be stubborn if you don't change a thing while keeping being rejected.

It's not rocket science, these people aren't even all that clever. It's going to be some kind of camera (maybe lidar) and microphone, there's nothing else it can be — you need to put something into AI to get something out of it.

It'll probably be some goofy 180/360 degree camera — phones aren't really designed to be omnipresent so the form factor isn't ideal for the always-on nature of AI they're trying to reach.

Most likely, a glorified black monolith brick like Ive loves them, without any display or a really small oled. Or a stick, like a pen you can clip on your pocket, but the battery may be an issue.

Is anyone sure this is not stock manipulation? Honest question.

Indeed, the 90 days delay leaked in the morning before being denied and at the end of the day there was the official announcement. So some people new before the official announcement and shared the information.

Android does this too. I don't really want all my photos indexed like that, I just want a linear timeline of photos, but I cant turn off their "memories" thing or all the analysis they do to them

y04nn · 7 months ago

I don't think Android does that. It's only Google Photo and only if you upload them to the cloud, if you don't sync/upload them, you can't search them with specific terms.

For everyone interested on technical details of the TSMC EUV process I would highly recommend this CCC talk [1] (From Silicon to Sovereignty: How Advanced Chips are Redefining Global Dominance).

While humanoid robots are neat, if not uncanny, I would love to see robots with forms optimized for their work. A large octopus with legs would be ideal for this sort of parts handling job.

Bipedalism is great to evolve on uneven terrain. Here it seems to just slow the process. Also, it uses its second hand for balance instead of achieving work, a counter weight would be as effective. In a factory, where the floor is flat, a human sized self moving robot 2 or 3 wheels would be way more effective, longer arms with more joins that are not mimicking humans one could also be better. There is already a lot of automation/robots in industry and it never look like a human. Even in our houses the best approach to automation never look like a human (eg. vacuum cleaner). I think that the only part of our body that would worth copying is the hand.

Can LLM/AI have the opposite effect?

People would start writing more and getting better at it with the help of LLM. This would create a positive feedback loop that would encourage them to write more and better. LLM should be used a tool improve productivity and quality of output. Like we use a computer interface to write faster, move and edit text, instead of using a pencil and an eraser, today you can use a LLM to improve your writing. This will help people to get better at organizing their thoughts and think more clearly instead of replacing the thinking.

How does CLIP compare to YOLO[1]? I haven't looked into image classification/object recognition for a while, but I remember that YOLO was quite good was working on realtime video too.

Why adding and then removing HTTP headers of a existing request for routing instead of adding a dedicated (custom) routing protocol above the HTTP stack? This would allow to just drop the added protocol on the outbound and be much more space efficient.

gedy · a year ago

Not really involved with crypto, but if I had large sums of money in it, I would never store this on an exchange. Seems so risky. Can anyone ELI5 why people do this?

y04nn · a year ago

By the way, because a lot of people are keeping their crypto on exchange, would it be possible for an exchange to have fractional reserves like for banks? It is probably doable for big exchanges as trades happen on a platform they control anyway and crypto only goes out when a customer sends money to an external address. They may be able to keep only a third of customers account balance and still operate as usual.
