The bigger the org, the more specialized they want you to be.

inconsistency with VAR was a huge slight. The Colombia offside call where VAR showed his big toe was offside was pretty ridiculous. Theres no way that is within the margin of error for that technology.

from what I understand this can come from the batching of requests.

apart from the skepticism and anti AI hype. One down side that is pointed out is that AI has the potential to dissuade people from learning. Why go through the pains of learning something when an AI can do it faster and better.

I do get the argument that it is a tool and everyone will have to adapt around it. But at some point it can be extremely demoralizing that a phd project that took months or years can be done by AI in a fraction of the time.

I completely agree. I also love the transparency that it provides as to where it is getting the reasoning for making a specific claim.

I can also ask it to just reference research papers and it will find relevant data relating to my query from peer reviewed sources.

It sounds like you need to be using the research function, which takes ~3 minutes but does a much more in depth search to find more relevant data.

Can someone explain to me why you would want to do something like in the example of calculating age based on birthdate? Why wouldn't you do that within an app or within code rather than having a database function?

Do we really know why LLMs seem to score the highest with python related coding tasks? I would think there are equally good examples of javascript/c++/java code to train from but I always see python with the highest scores.

I'm genuinely asking this out of curiosity and a bit of naivety — are there as many international students pursuing advanced degrees in China as there are in the U.S.? I don't know the answer and would love to hear from folks who do.

well, not having a unified language slows down things on the other end.

I believe this is actually the second time google has tried to buy this company too. They had to give them a too good to refuse offer.

While it seems like we aren't getting a ton of people who have used the product in the comments. I can tell you it checks a lot of boxes to make people sleep better at night with customer data in the cloud.

its not even just arch linux. you can literally buy a PC from anyone who sells ubuntu 24.04 and you still cant properly install (and have them work out of the box) snap store items like shutter.

based on information and background they thoroughly gave when releasing their research its pretty easy to put together that it did take them significantly less resources to train this model. only having specific parameters available at a time instead of activating everything all at once is pretty ingenious.

that and they just happened to be undergoing a large scale "cyber attack"

A recent matched cohort study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry analyzed data from over nine million UK adults between 2000 and 2019 to assess life expectancy and years of life lost among those diagnosed with ADHD. The research included 30,039 adults with diagnosed ADHD and compared them to 300,390 matched individuals without the diagnosis. Findings revealed that adults with diagnosed ADHD experienced a significant reduction in life expectancy, losing approximately 6.78 years for males and 8.64 years for females compared to the general population. This disparity is likely driven by modifiable risk factors and unmet mental and physical health needs associated with ADHD and its comorbid conditions. The study underscores the critical need for enhanced support and treatment services for adults with ADHD in the UK to address these preventable health inequalities and improve overall life outcomes.
