Totally insane that they enshrine this stuff in law without a reference design and corresponding data to validate its effectiveness.

Yeah I think that’s the difference. On the east coast in July, the big safety risk with fireworks is generally to your own person.

EDA tools have been using ML techniques for >10yrs afaik

It definitely isn’t simple, but it’s a pretty well trod path. If the FCC or state equivalent doesn’t have folks who can write the spec that’s a huge problem. I would be surprised if an existing spec doesn’t already exist that just needs to be applied to this scenario.

The streamers should be responsible for the signal. If the device front end has crazy frequency response or the backend does weird DSP tricks, that’s on the device manufacturers.

Article reeks of LLM mannerisms in a pretty obnoxious way. I read it anyways and surprise surprise, it boils down to:

- Ridiculously NP problem space that we guess and check with ML heuristics.

- Problem: not enough training data

Cool enough work, but the LLM generated fluff in the article really takes away from it.

Picking up on some dunning kruger effect here.

Programming isn’t even a field in the same way as prob&stats. Computer science does in fact have non-deterministic sub fields such as information theory.

Just because it could be worse doesn’t mean it couldn’t be better.

> Would you want to take a pay cut if your employer was having financial problems?

This happens constantly in the form of layoffs…

Ah yes. Just need to displace 16 million people’s livelihoods. No big deal.

I assume because most windows installs are corporate IT garbage that if anyone cared about performance they could just turn off one of the three endpoint protection services or tune the backup service down and get better results than processor upgrades.

> One third of all software code is written by AI.

I find it interesting that using lines of code as a metric is making a comeback.

I’m pretty certain there are physiological limits that you can’t just muscle through and stress _can_ be an indicator that you’re reaching said limits.

usage != positive opinion

I don’t like driving in traffic yet I do it pretty much every day. Why don’t I simply not drive?

Kind of goes to show how out of touch and insular the tech exec sphere can be. Almost everyone I interact with in reality has a deep distain for LLMs and their touted trajectory.

It’s not a public study though. We’re not going to get trust worthy numbers about labor or token cost.

So they can get training data I assume.

I think it’s becoming hard to ignore that the Internet has fundamental flaws from a game theoretical view. I hope that we can skip the step of having Google as the feudal lord who saves us from anarchy though.

How about we start with some accountability for entities that host fraud? The main reason we can have relative anonymity in public is part trust and partially because you can get physically taken out if you cross the line. I understand there are some real limitations with enforcing accountability on the Internet, but perhaps that’s where we should be focusing.

The FCC or whoever is almost 100% just looking at power/time/location. Those 10 devices will look like 1 device.

> What -apart from cost- prevents a user who wants more bandwidth from installing 10 devices in parallel and alternate each radio so none of the radios exceed their allowed transmit duty cycle?

Folks with badges knocking on the user’s door. It is pretty trivial to locate stationary signals.

I’m not sure how you could suggest starbucks and mcdonalds outcompete based on product quality or ambiance. Have you been to a random mom&pop coffee or burger spot recently?

Chairs aren’t magic, we know roughly what’s good or not. You don’t need a PhD to choose a good chair. A mom and pop could just copy the chair too.

The chains outcompete on marketing, leverage with vendors, etc.

They put a huge amount of effort into baseline quality because it’s incredibly hard to pull off across 1000s of stores staffed by people who don’t have any incentive to care.
