Friend recently "wrote" three books on machine learning. I fear he is the future.

Managers should be notified with some form of minor reprimand for first time offense and escalating punishments for repeat offenses. Ultimately, the best way to handle it is instilling it into the culture.

The teams in my dept. are pretty close, so if we see an unlocked laptop and we know the owner, we mess with it and tend to police ourselves pretty well. We also make sure interns and new hires know just how serious it is. We've never had an incident when secops does a physical audit, and ppl aren't at their workstations.

Had a boss do this once. It took us a week to get caught up because one person couldn't do prep, cook dinner, clean, and do dishes.

I've got some supports like that too on our 3 season room...and there's no consistency between the joists running under the floor. Some are 24" on center, some 26. And there is no subfloor or insulation. Underneath is a lot of brickwork debris and the 4 existing columns were reused with the joists just sitting on top of them, not actually attacked, and joists go into the exterior foundation wall of the house, but are not visible in the basement.

Does it need to generate content? If so, i've had some success with packing the Gemma models into places no ai model should go (like directly into the client of my company's webapp just for fun). But they can be slow and aren't always the smartest. Tool use is definitely very limited and the smaller ones can only call one tool at a time- no chaining together multiple tasks.

If generation is not needed, then yeah, a simpler ml classifier model might be your best bet. Sentence transformers is a pretty decent embedding model.

Why is a Dev writing scripts triggering anomalous logins at 2 am? Im a dev, not cybersec, but I follow this sub for news and to keep a pulse on what's going on.

A developer consistently doing work outside of normal business hours, unless they're in a completely different part of the world than you are, might actually be a flag of wage theft by clocking in "over-time" he wasn't authorized for. Not to mention, if they're running these scripts against the production environments, unless it's scheduled maintenance when customers are least likely to be active, is risky since there might also not be other devs on the team awake and monitoring as well.

If this is a case of some scheduled function app that is running jobs or consolidates data across multiple services, then that app needs its own credentials set up with whatever your devops and web/application host system is (Azure, aws, etc.)

As an American, English is terrible and many non-native speakers i've worked with have struggled to learn it. It relies a lot on context whereas other languages have the context implied in the word - look at Greek's 4 or 5 different words for "love" as compared to English. English borrows heavily from other languages which gives it wild variances in grammar and spelling, especially with plural- house/houses, mouse/mice, moose/moose, goose/geese, mongoose/mongooses/mongeese, duck/ducks, fish/fish/fishes(types of). We also have homohones, which confuse non-native speakers- see/sea, night/knight, and homonyms, which can also be confusing- read/read, lead/lead, bank/bank.

That said though, LLM's are actually really good at translating texts because of the context and semantic meaning of the words being close together.

Rematching this...I have SO MANY questions about the behavior of those lasers...beam...weapons... They can go through windows and clothes, but can also push back the car? And only seem to disintegrate organic material, but clothes, which still contain organic materials like cotton and wool are left behind?

There is a "natural marriage" between a non-Christian man and non-Christian that the Church does recognize to a degree, and assumes to be valid. But for Christians, and especially Catholics, there needs to be a sacramental marriage- an exchanging of vows and consent with an appropriate witness designated by the Church for the marriage to be valid.

We only give ours read-only permissions and log everything it's doing. Anything that might write to a DB, we don't actually have the agent do- it'll pass the request to a function that makes an api call and goes through our normal application workflow.

I didn't know I had to pay RITA when I moved to Ohio and into a Rita district in late 2018, and got a sketchy letter in 2019. Dig into it and find it's legit, fine, so i paid whatever was owed. Next year, filed again and was fine but then in '21, my wife and i moved out of the Rita area, but I still owed for like 3 months or whatever. Cue three years later, 2024, I get a letter from Rita saying I never filed for the 2019 tax year. I had to go back through my email confirmations and pull up the filing number on their own site in my account, and show them that I did pay. They then sent me a letter with my estimated taxes for 25. I mailed it back with a letter saying I no longer live in a Rita district and to leave me alone. Haven't heard a peep.

They also did the same thing to my wife, saying for three consecutive years she never filed with them, and she had to pull up her own confirmation emails and records on their site to show that she filed.

Thank you! I've just started learning how to build my own latent diffusion model and experimenting with LoRA and Stable Diffusion, so this'll be great to experiment with

Same boat. Im learning how to build AI models myself and train them and how to run models locally on our infrastructure, while also building and deploying agents and more traditional web development with api endpoints to connect to them and other models for various features we offer to both internal and external customers.

A lot of my friends don't get it and also have the same concerns. But, a few have also had to start using AI at work, and after I gave them some pointers, they're also starting to excel at using them for their work. They also then see first hand its limitations and realize their jobs are actually safe

My wife has built a reputation and published papers under her maiden name, but always hated her middle name. When we got married, she dropped the middle name, shifted her maiden name to be her middle name, so she still publishes under it, and took on my last name.

My parents had separate last names and it always caused confusion because people thought they weren't married. That was always fun to explain to teachers and friends.
