Copilot is hallucinating and suggesting autocompletion of a variable using keys from a dictionary of different type from what declared.
On a Friday afternoon.
This is pure evil. I now understand what's their plan to rule the world. #AI #programming #copilot
The one and only newsletter that I read every single time from top to bottom is about to get better.
Congrats team!
Weβre excited to announce that we're expanding CTVC into a market intelligence platform for the new climate economy!
To get there, we raised $1.75M from leading climate investors including John Doerr, Tom Steyer, Dawn Lippert & AccelR8 π’ππΈ

I'd be interested to know what's the split of attention between the 2, I guess the prize goes to GPT because of it's feat of looking sentient.
Still in the context of media, which occupies a large part of our lives, Midjourney seems to be a lot more applicable.

You stand on the right.
You power walk on the left (that's not running).
You never stop.
And you never, ever touch, not even on the busiest train.
Welcome to London.
Looking at AI demos out there, feels to me that generative models applied to software development are mostly shifting the Pareto principle from 80/20 to 95/5 with very limited gains in overall time to delivery.
Happy to be contradicted and see fast paths to production.
Demystifying AIs and the role of shady influencers, interesting read.
Plus, I cannot count how many people can't distinguish search engine functionalities from generative language models.
Note to self: forget the hype and try to absorb "cum grano salis"

Someone, probably in the last century, said it was best to send marketing emails on Thursday.
My inbox gets so clogged that I delete them in bulk and Thursday's emails are probably the only ones that I never read.
Anyone else feeling this needs to change?
Whilst heading towards electrification, is there any chance that overall planet health is taken into account when measuring profits?
It shouldn't be much harder than linking pollution and resource depletion to corporation taxes.

Quite ironically, it's CCTV
I couldnβt believe it til I checked but, amidst #ZeroCovid protests here, #China Central Television (CCTV) is editing out close ups of spectators in its coverage of the World Cup so Chinese viewers donβt see thousands of fans without masks in the stands. Only crowd wide shots.
Okay, is he for real? Should he start?
@Number10cat please say something wise. Oh the irony of this.
Breaking news: if something goes down 10% one day, then up 10% the next day, we're still 1% short from the original value.
Okay it's not breaking but repetita juvant.
I started reading TASS since the war started as it often exposes machinations of the propaganda if not a specular take on world news.
Sometimes it's also a good laugh, I wonder if these guys realise that percentages are capped to 100 by design:

Google now strategy on a pixel is to keep showing the same notifications until I tap on them, no matter how many times I dismiss them.
Guess the I score in AI isn't that high. #artificialDumbness
Can we please hit pause and seriously think of:
1. Charging infrastructure and energy demands
2. Battery technology and lifecycle sustainability
3. Scalable alternatives to private transport
Before rushing into the latest senseless race for growth.
Thanks, from planet earth

Follow the link from this tweet and read the PDF. It's quite hilarious, if not utterly backwards.
The Tories are running a very dodgy consultation on bringing back imperial measures.
The questions are loaded in favour of imperial units. No status quo option.
But you're free to write what you like, so if you think it's a bad idea please let them know!
