In French, there is “ça va?”, which can be translated as “it goes?”. It is also a valid response to itself too, so the conversation flow might just be “ça va? ça va.”

I can’t imagine their software and bookkeeping would be significantly different from any other international logistics company?

They would dominate because they make a good product that isn’t more expensive than it has to be. US car companies have discontinued most affordable options to try and force people to only buy larger, higher end vehicles that most people have no use for. Now they’re mad that international companies are willing to sell the products they refuse to.

All you have to do is present credible evidence that these companies are distributing copyrighted works or a direct substitute for those copyrighted works. They have filters to specifically exclude matches though, so it doesn’t really happen.

It’s like stealing from shops except the shops didn’t lose anything. You’re up a stolen widget, but they have just as many as before.

Detecting a hallucination programmatically is the hard part. What is truth? Given an arbitrary sentence, how does one accurately measure the truthfulness of it? What about the edge cases, like a statement that is itself true but misrepresents something? Or what if a statement is correct in a specific context, but generally incorrect?

I’m an AI optimist but I don’t see hallucinations being solved completely as long as LLMs are statistical models of languages, but we’ll probably have a set of heuristics and techniques that can catch 90% of them.

Maybe the search engines should start crawling and indexing discord

So the difference is in the kind of holding space?

You know what’s really inefficient? Making a bunch of people write additional weekly reports on their work on top of the already significant documentation that goes on in the federal government. It’s not free or instant to write these, and could reasonably lower the amount of actual productivity by diverting smart people from their main objectives to write extra reports for this dumbass.

That’s about one egg per second

What exactly are the hazards of shared memory and locks? The ownership system and the borrow checker do a pretty good job at enforcing correct usage, and if you are clever you can even guarantee no deadlocks (talk at rustconf 2024 about the fuchsia network stack).

Almost certainly not

It’s wild how much stuff is manufactured on processes considered obsolete for high end cpu/gpu production

iOS accidentally has this feature if you use apple health to track medications. Whenever the time zone changes, it’ll send the user a notification to ask the user if they want to adjust the schedule for the different time zone or maintain the existing times

I mean, just looking at a store like Best Buy, the snapdragon laptops look really good for their price. If you’re not gaming, they do office and school tasks just as well. And for a lot of people, the thin fanless one that doesn’t get hot and has 30 hours of battery life is really what they want in a device. And they’re used as chromebooks in a lot of cases, where compatibility isn’t really a concern.

Yes, thousands of often highly specialized, experienced mercenaries.

The internet was developed by ARPA, then later made available to universities and eventually private connections. Military and public research developed the tech, capitalists figured out how to most efficiently sell junk using the tech.

Actually I think this is a pretty common thing. I know several people who use iPhones and other Apple products specifically to avoid the google alternatives.

I use the assistant, because it has so many models to choose from. I hope they can make a mobile app for it in the future

Organizations aren’t just paying for access to applications, they’re also paying for cloud storage, email hosting, calendar tools, training, and all of the infrastructure to support that. Typically when you price out the cost of expanding the in-house IT department and the cost of acquiring and maintaining the infrastructure required to replicate the various cloud services, it ends up being break even at best. Qualified people who can set up and maintain infrastructure are quite expensive, especially when having to maintain high uptime/availability, 24/7 incident response, and compliance with various regulations, like those to protect students’ privacy.
