dschuetz··on I’m joining OpenAI
Good luck!
dschuetz··on Proton spam and the AI consent problem
Every company seems to scramble trying to sell AI based products they have invested in so heavily, disregarding whether anyone needed them at all in the first place.

This AI thing is going to implode so hard.

OK, but why?

dschuetz··on Computer science has one of the highest unemployment rates
Depends on who you ask. It's news to graduates who find themselves w/o a job and zilions in debt.
dschuetz··on Computer science has one of the highest unemployment rates
20ys ago: you must study CS it's in high demand RN! 10ys ago: don't even apply w/o a master's degree! 2ys ago: sorry we're full! 1 week ago: you must study ML it's in high demand RN!

Are AI chatbots aware of this?
dschuetz··on Scientists Discover New Heavy-Metal Molecule 'Berkelocene'
First meme about Berkelocene.
dschuetz··on Did the Particle Go Through the Two Slits, or Did the Wave Function?
This again.

The take is that possibility space does not have the same constraints as physical space. But I cannot recall that that was a real problem, but at least that's an opener for a discussion.

The question was and still is what influences individual particles to form an interference pattern over time. One interpretation is that something changes, or interferes with, the probability wave function of the particle's 'virtual' trajectory. The empirical evidence for this statistical anomaly is the pattern on the screen. Well of course, the double slit causes the interference pattern, but it's still not clear why. Best working guesstimate so far is that it behaves like a bullet in physical space and like a wave in possibility space at the same time. This guesstimate was enough to become the foundation of modern quantum physics, and so much more. But is it the whole story? Do we want to know?

I think the double slit experiment is just flawed, and it's a miracle that someone was able to derive a working model from its results.

Thanks.
dschuetz··on Nokia's internal presentation after iPhone was launched (2007) [pdf]
Nokia saw the iPhone, fast-forward to 2014, Nokia just gives up and sells their dead horse cellphone business to Microsoft. Microsoft casts a few necromancy spells and also just gives up 3 years later, and kills the same dead horse again. The end.

dschuetz··on One way to fight loneliness: Germans call it a Stammtisch
Ironically, the Stammtisch culture in Germany did not exactly help to counter the loneliness epidemic, if anything it softened the rise. People are lonely more than ever still.
dschuetz··on AI hallucinations: Why LLMs make things up (and how to fix it)
I went straight to the "how to fix" section with popcorn in hand and I wasn't disappointed: just add " doubt" layers for self-correction, beginning at the query itself. And then maybe tell the model "do not hallucinate". Sounds like a pun, but I think an AI model actually would take this seriously, because it can't tell the difference.

Context is still a huge problem for AI models, and it's probably still the main reason for hallucinating AIs.

dschuetz··on Paranormasight: A Game Exploring the Depths of Honjo in Tokyo
There are way too many visual novels out there, and this is one of them.
dschuetz··on Cell-Based Architecture Enhances Modern Distributed Systems
I was thinking about cell-based distributed systems years ago and I haven´t yet figured out how to handle their complexity, unreliable connectivity and, as always, what use cases there might even be.
dschuetz··on Scuda – Virtual GPU over IP
More like "virtual cuda only gpu" over IP.
dschuetz··on Gamma radiation is produced in large tropical thunderstorms
So the fictional radiation storms in Fallout 4 are kinda spot on.
dschuetz··on Superconducting Microprocessors? Turns Out They're Ultra-Efficient (2021)
How much energy was needed for the cryostat? I haven't found anything on that in the article.
dschuetz··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
That was quick: Microsoft is blaming "3rd party" and announced that "a fix is forthcoming". Very curious indeed. https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/19/banks-airlines-brokerage-h...
dschuetz··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
Are you rolling out CS updates as is everywhere? Are you not testing any published updates immediately at least with some N-1 staging involved?
dschuetz··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
I wonder who exactly messed up the update, microsoft or crowdstrike. Usually, there is pre-rollout update testing AND some companies use N-1 version staging for critical/production systems. For me it feels much more complex a failure than just "it's crowdstrike's fault". Everybody involved must have done something wrong.
dschuetz··on Windows 11 is now enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
WDYM struggle? That behavior is deliberate and calculated.
dschuetz··on Windows 11 is now enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
People are reporting this, but usually via microsoft support pages, so in the end nobody really cares.
