Take a look at their comment history, and keep in mind that Chomsky has been openly critical of Israel for a long time.

That's a crazy amount of memory usage, it might be an extension doing it? VSCode has a process explorer tool you can access under `Help>Open Process Explorer`.

I think Fleet aims to do this, its been in preview for 3 years now so I'm not sure what's left for them to actually release the thing. I'm looking forward to only having one IDE installed and loading/unloading language plugins as required, instead of having multiple heavy IDEs.
On top of that, the architecture of Fleet seems more amenable to remote development, like what VSCode has with their SSH plugin. In my experience the remote development feature in its current state has been a buggy mess.

The VSCode extension for Rust is quite good too, probably the best IDE like support for any language I've tried.
I'm more excited for JetBrains Fleet than another standalone IDE at this point.

When I looked this up it pointed me to this exact comment.

Not an expert in this field, but I'm guessing this is related to unintuitive nature of geometry in high-dimensional spaces.
One rough example I can think of is the fact that the number of ways to move away from the origin increases exponentially (or even faster?) as the dimensionality goes up. There is _way_ more volume away from the origin than near it, I've seen this explained as something like "most of the volume of a high-dimensional orange is in the peel". One result of this is the fact that samples of a standard gaussian end up forming a "shell" as opposed to a "ball" that you would expect (this phenomenon is called the concentration of measure in general).
Also, very roughly, high-dimensional objects have lots of corners, and these corners are also very sharp. I would guess that gradient descent would get stuck in these corners and have a hard time getting out.

And as usual, people thinking AI == LLM.

As far as I read in the article doesn't mention a chatbot at all. I'm guessing it's some sort of search guided by a neural network, considering they mentioned AlphaGo.

> Has anyone asked the palestinians if they consent to being used as human shields? If they do, then well they're getting what they asked for but if not, then the only bad guy here is hamas.
I usually don't comment on these things, but I found this comment so evil... I want to remind you that Israel and the US have consistently denied peace talks, and Israeli leadership talks about the Palestinians like they are vermin.

Probably also helps that there's way more image/video data to train on than 3D data.

> I roll my eyes every time I hear about yet another programming language for which the biggest invention is that it does not allow null pointers.
> It is even worse when a programming language manages to solve an easily preventable problem by creating additional workload on the programmer.
What programming languages are you referring to here? Both Rust and Ada do more than disallow nulls, and help solve some non-trivial problems. Of course at the expense of additional constraints, but that's probably unavoidable.
You misspelled Israel, and a reminder that Israel is the only nation in the region with multiple nuclear warheads.
