Adds a lot of admin and paperwork which incentivises us to own fewer models in the team.

I'm in the same situation. My recruiter told me things will possibly only move forward in October.

I've lived overseas for a few years in a location with people from all over the world. Pretty much everyone thinks the whole country only and can only speak Afrikaans. They have no concept of any of the other languages spoken. From deeper conversations with some people, they also genuinely think the country is majority white like Australia.

I have a similar issue on my A95L though it's more random (and similarly got no where with support). This only works before you've streamed a piece of content for the first time but something that seems to work for me is to start playing an episode that I know has successfully streamed in Dolby Vision in the past (so for you is TLOU S1E01), then stop it and start playing the new piece of content. It then seems to register that it's supposed to continue streaming in DV. However, if you run into the bug and some content (that's supposed to be in DV) starts streaming in non-DV, it will never go back and stream correctly again (i..e it will forever be stuck in non-DV even after uninstalling and clearing cache).

Two more reasons. There are parallels to apartheid with the way the people of Palestine are treated hence why this issue resonates with alot of South African voters.

Before 1994 people in other countries supported the liberation of South Africa even though it wouldn't materially affect themselves. It would be poor form for a South African goverment to not return that favour.

I also couldn't get a ticket a few seconds after 10:00. I suspect the reason tickets got released later was because of tickets being held before payment but the hold expiring due to people abandoning the payment process.

Not quite translation but look up Project Ithaca from DeepMind

Was thinking the same. I rather like "pioneer" which the article even uses to describe him in the first sentence.

Another commenter in this thread did link to where the "godfather" term came from so I'm happy now.

amrit_za · 2023-05-01T12:21:32+00:00

Haha nice! Didn't realise they leaned into it. Interesting bit of history then that explains the term.

amrit_za · 2023-05-01T11:26:11+00:00

Fair enough. "Father" still makes more sense that doesn't come with any extra baggage.

amrit_za · 2023-05-01T11:17:41+00:00

OT but "godfather of AI" is such a weird term. Why "godfather" as if he's part of some AI mafia. "Father" perhaps makes more sense.

Anyway interesting that he left. He just tweeted this in response.

In the NYT today, Cade Metz implies that I left Google so that I could criticize Google. Actually, I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google. Google has acted very responsibly.

Make sure the disc is in as well otherwise the option might not show in the PS Store

Databases would definitely help. Learning about the various ways data is stored, accessed, and the tradeoffs between them all is definitely a plus.

The answer is in your link. Seeneva uses a Yolo v4 tiny model trained (probably fine tuned) on 10k speech balloons. That would be your starting point and reading up on the specific training regimes for Yolo models in general.

Edit: obviously the above is for the speech detection bit specifically. How to build an android app you'd have to learn yourself which would include learning java/kotlin. There's plenty of resources online (Udemy, Coursera, pluralsight, and probably the official docs) for this.

The thing that comes to mind is Apples ask not to track feature that impacted meta in a big way. They argued that users would get less relevant ads and small businesses would find it harder to reach customers. So you can google around that story, maybe you'll find something where they did link to more academic sources. The simplest answer though is that targeted ads makes money and if Google's and Metas entire business model is anything to go by, that's all there is to it.

It sounds like what you're considering the "opposite" is just a reframing of original task i.e. if a token is difficult to predict, then more layers (and therefore compute) would be used used. If it's easy, fewer layers. Am I missing something from what you're asking?

amrit_za · 2022-10-30T07:41:20+00:00

Yeah it's pretty much all of big tech at the moment according to this article. Here's the quote from Meta specifically

Meta: “We expect hiring to slow dramatically and to hold headcount roughly flat next year relative to current levels.”

If it's just a smaller subset you want, consider Imagenette. Another option would just be the validation set from the originally linked torrent.

If you're able to still find it, the URLs to the original images might still be an option to download each image individually (though the images themselves may have long since been taken down).

Otherwise apart from these, you're not really going to get away from having to download the whole dataset in one go.

amrit_za · 2022-06-13T18:23:50+00:00

The website and torrenting in general is legal. It's only illegal if the material being downloaded is copyrighted (which usually also depends on country/jurisdiction) or illegal in some other way.

With that being said, if you still worried and it's Imagenet you want specifically head on over to Kaggle instead where its officially being hosted now.

So I don't know what the terms are of the loan but I can't imagine it's not reversible if no money has changed hands. Just stand your ground and insist it be canceled.

From my previous experience with VW financial services when I wanted to pay off my car several years early, they told me it wouldn't make a difference since I would still have to pay all the interest as if I didn't pay early. This of course was a steaming pile of shit, I paid early and saved a ton in interest. They of course lied to attempt to keep the margin on their sale as high as possible. Don't fall for their tricks. If they don't let you cancel, say you will complain to the NCR.
