Yes, yes, database with AI written code. NoSQL with a database that can't be trusted with your data? I. have. seen. this. before. To quote a classic:
> I suggest you pipe your data to devnull it will be very fast
In defense of the database that video was about, I worked as a software architect for the company which became the first commercial user of it, Eliot hilariously didn't want to accept money for support at first. Good old days. However, around 2015 when all three large open source SQL databases --- SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL -- added JSON support I felt there was no more need for these NoSQL systems, though.
> If the airline knows your name, and their attendants see and verify your face when boarding anyway, then are we losing anything through the use of face scans?
Your face scan is now online waiting for the next data breach.
I have seen neobanks requiring such 3D face scans but not Ryanair yet.
> Your face scan is now online waiting for the next data breach
Completely understood, but the point is that it's at CBP or UK Border Force or Bundespolizei, and it's in the security camera system at the airport, too.
If you've been a visitor to Australia recently, you'll be all too familiar with the process of using your phone to scan your face plus passport data.
When you enter the airport, you walk past signs notifying you of extensive surveillance camera use.
WPEngine (and a horde of Emanuel Urquhart lawyers led by Rachel Kassabian) are taking him to the cleaners. This won't be pretty. A preliminary injunction is not easy to get, it's really likely WPEngine will win at least something.
This is a popular narrative but really, those nukes were a burden on Ukraine and nothing more -- the forces possessing and maintaining those weapons reported to Russia and any launch needed authorization from the Чегет the Russian head of state held, whoever that was. Sure, they were on Ukrainian land but that was all. That is why Ukraine so easily surrendered all those weapons for extremely weak reassurances. If you were to read the text https://policymemos.hks.harvard.edu/files/policymemos/files/... you would notice how there's no real security guarantee whatsoever. Basically it says if someone nukes or threatens to nuke Ukraine they will "seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine".
Sure, there are words saying "the Russian Federation [...] reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine [...] to respect the Independence and Sovereignty
and the existing borders of Ukraine" but what if they don't? tough luck. No one promised help, there's no built in penalty mechanism, nothing.
I’m sure that over the years they could have reverse engineered the bombs and reused the warheads for more tactical strikes into Russian even if they could maintain the ICBM versions. It’s not like there weren’t a lot of nuke engineers and scientists in Ukraine when they split up the Soviet Empire
This brings up a very old memory: the readme of Volkov Commander said the author of it is some nuclear institute in Kyiv. Yup.
(Also, I uploaded Volkov Commander to SIMTEL 31 years ago and the ignorant asshole running that site reported me to the university for pirating Norton Commander and they banned me from the university VAX leading me straight to Linux. Funny how that worked out.)
The first iteration of Intel 10nm was simply broken -- you had Ice Lake mobile CPUs in 2019 yes but desktop and server processors took another two years to be released. In 2012 Intel said they will ship 14nm in 2013 and 10nm in 2015. Not only they did fail to deliver 10nm Intel CPUs but they failed Nokia server division too, nearly killing it off in 2018, three years after their initial target. No one in the industry forgot that, it's hardly a surprise they have such trouble getting customers now.
And despite this total failure they spent many tens of on stock buybacks https://ycharts.com/companies/INTC/stock_buyback no less than ten billions in 2014 and in 2018-2021 over forty billions. That's an awful, awful lot of money to waste.
Most of the stock buybacks happened under Bob Swan though. Krzanich dug the grave of Intel but it was Swan who kicked the company in there by wasting forty billion. (No wonder he landed at a18z.)
Yes, yes, yes, of course, the infamous CPU released just so Intel middle managers can get their bonus. GPU disabled, CPU gimped, the whole thing barely worked at all. Let's call it the 0th iteration of 10nm , it was not real, there was like one laptop in China, the Lenovo IdeaPad 330-15ICN, which paper launched.
The essence of being senior, I feel is "I have made the mistake you are about to make". This echoes in language learning. When I was learning Go I could easily pinpoint what language design decisions were made because of lessons learned from this language or that. (I do not want to suggest schismogenesis applies to programming languages but ... it kinda sorta does?) Teaching with this in mind needs a very different curriculum.
Also, basic exercises are boring because we did them ten thousand and one times already just with slightly different syntax.
Suppose the source language has words which could be translated into multiple English words -- look at all the power banks which are advertised as charging treasure for example. One can see how bank vs treasure are close, after all. Further, even in English multiple phrases could be used "don't preserve" "bin it" "throw it away" and countless others. Even worse, it could be a company specific phrase which would only stand out as odd "apply procedure 66 to it".
If given a little thought this is exactly the kind of task where a native speaker would shine and LLM might just miss or if given a wide enough net produce a million false positive.
Sure! But in any case, it's worth a shot to preprocess document dumps with AI first - if it fails to spot anything obvious, you can still go and have humans sift through the pile manually, whereas if it does spot something humans can immediately zero in instead of wasting their time.
AI is a tool, nothing more, nothing less. It is smart to use it when it makes sense, it is dumb to shoehorn it into something it by definition cannot do.
Just tested out the treasure idea and seems to work fine in ChatGPT. I suspect if given context at the task at hand that the LLM would provide a pretty decent first pass.
What a weird response. Just providing a counterpoint to your idea that I don't believe is correct. I hope dang does not delete your account because I am not sure whats going on here and I hope you find the help/peace you need.
I listed like half a dozen things that could go wrong and the only reply is "look this particular one in this singular case the bullshit is accidentally correct".
Ouch, sorry you are in distress but let me repeat and help flesh it out for you. You would be surprised that when given the context at hand, the level of confusion would be a lot less than your constrained world model envisions. I have been pleasantly surprised with LLMs ability to translate, including legal documents. Should it be the only step in the process? No. Like I originally pointed out, I think a LLM can serve quite well in initial first passes. Its quite naive to hand wave it away with some what-if scenarios and then just become a dismissive immature kid when someone disagrees with you. I can only imagine when you have a corpus to work from of existing legal documents especially for translations, that you get quite close to the spirit of whats written.
> Where I live, you can only select from a central, though frequently updated, list of names when naming your child
I was born in such a country too and still have frequent connections there and I can confirm the laws only apply to citizens of said country so indeed immigration creates exceptions to this rule even if they transliterate their name.
