Hahaha, expensive expandable expendables!

But yeah, I meant expensive

You are expansive guys…

No, this is independent on AI. AI for big tech is a core product, like a car for BMW. The layoffs are completely unrelated to AI, and related to stock price and interest rates of borrowing money. None of the layoff employee has been substituted by AI. It’s pure old school finance

Unrelated news in a single title just to attract readers. Usual sh**y to ride the AI hate bandwagon

What a weird title. They are completely 2 different, independent things. Just to be categorized with AI hype articles…

Why is that? Most car already have voice assistants to help in tasks that would ve distracting for the driver. What’s the difference with chatGPT?

I do, I learned everything on Facebook. AMA

Title makes no sense. Researchers did “their own research”. Experts and non experts do “their own research”. Simply there are people who knows how to do it and to draw meaningful conclusions from sources and data, and people who don’t.

And heat, a lot of heat. 4th time dead

It is muuuuuuuuuuch lower. The actual energy is incomparable, like an ant vs superman level of energy.

The energy in practice it’ll be extracted from H2 has to be much higher for the process to have a practical use

If you have fusion energy, creating H2 from water via electrolysis is a joke. You can do it at home. It only requires a lot of energy. But with energy from fusion it will become super easy, barely an inconvenient

I am not religious, but you are right. He has been very vocal on this. People like to choose what is convenient for them

How did Nadella lose to Altman? Nadella is the reason Altman is what it is now. The reason open ai is not anymore an independent no profit research team to push open AI solutions.

He’s the king maker of evil tech. Nadella vs Musk is the only possible final. Whoever voted is insulting one of 2 main contenders. Like CEO of BP losing to a gas pump owner

Just to temporarily keep people waiting to be transferred to Italy

There are no jails in Vatican city. Prisoners are held in Italian jails. But this guy will likely do zero time in jail. Too old

He’s old. Most likely he won’t do real prison time, just “home” prison (I don’t know the English word). Anyway, regarding your questions, most likely yes… With the exception of alcohol, that is allowed only on special events. Also, in theory a medical doctor (nutritionist) has to approve the meals. In practice I don’t know, I’ve never been in jail.

It’s like pupils learning from teachers, with the exception that there’s a single teacher in the whole world

I always assume people use daily either mac or linux. I am always genuinely surprised when they mention they use windows. I live in a tech bubble where unix is the norm, and I find instinctively strange otherwise. Then I think about stats, and I remember we are the exception

We have several big clusters built on mixed virtual and bare metal. I would prefer our system engineer to manually build on virtualbox before even touching hyper-v (which we clearly don’t!). For some political reasons our IT forced us to test to build a solution on hyper-v (cost saving on some non critical infrastructure proposed by some very non-tecnical people), I still have nightmares. I am not even the person who had to do it in practice.

It is long to explain it here, just give it a try. Windows server and all releted solutions are simply bad for real workloads. Who use it on server is just a company who doesn’t need to be productive on the IT side. Their core business is not tech related and they don’t care other than getting cheap sys admins

On the other hand, they must think VMware portfolio is a rather stable set of solutions, while the bulk of innovation is moving towards kubernetes like solutions that they don’t want to follow, as they are late and don’t want to invest to build the know how.

They are considering to transform the business model more like oracle, sap, cisco, where the core business is sales not innovation. Their plan is probably that they have such a strong position in the market that talents are not needed, just average people who can patch out stuff somehow.

I have too much technical experience to agree with them that this is a good call. I believe it will be a disaster on the long run. But their background is clearly different, and they saw on the market a huge amount of successful companies with such business model. First among all pre-nadella Microsoft.

Big if true. Current academic evaluation system via poor KPIs is more similar to a “call center” evaluation system than something useful. It is the main reason most of the best young scholars I know have left academia for industry. Everyone I knew in academia good enough to find something else elsewhere left, those who couldn’t remained, and are burn out, stuck in the rat race.

It is sad, because we were all ready to accept less money and being overworked for the idea to do something useful. And society lost so much value due to a broken corrupted system that squashes human dignity to make money for small mafias, institutions and publishers
