It does say this: "Certain by script: these characters belong to only one language, so the model never ran."

So I think it's some buggy code in their UI that even prevents the model from running.


This the correct way to look at it. Just as the person spending 5 years working on this will have learnt many things which will be useful after this problem is solved, you have to factor in the training cost (sure it's only done "once", but that is the same for the person too once they jump on the next problem).

The model wouldn't not be able to solve this without all the training leading up to the actual execution, so counting only the tokens of the execution doesn't give the full picture.


What's even worse is that they now probably made it a lot worse for that family, adding stress and trauma (at the very least). So in fact, the neighbor made the kid more unsafe than they originally were.

Universities, institutions and publications who care about their reputation should pay people to replicate studies performed by people they employ in their name. Otherwise they will loose their trustworthiness.

But perhaps it is not as big a shame for them as some think it should be...


This would make a great tattoo, as a pun on people getting Kanji character tattoos without being able to read Kanji.


Completely agree, the solution to so many privacy invasions and problems in tech is just because ads are allowed.

Would love to see a society where ads are not allowed. Cannot really see any downsides personally, but I’m sure many will claim ”how will companies survive?!” Hard to see it would lead to the collapse of either companies or society, but maybe of capitalism as we know it (which I think given the current state of the world would be such a bad thing).


If that is true, isn't it a bit unconventional? What version are they using, some random Git SHA? Why couldn't that have been made to a release or a release candidate at least?


And if you install Tailscale you can even use it as an exit node to surf from home when you're traveling.


This is actually is an interesting example, because Cities Skylines 2 has been handed over from Colossal Order to Iceflake Studios recently and since then they have (in my opinion) quickly been able to improve and fix a lot of things that CO weren't able pull off for years. So perhaps CO's development was somewhat of a "total shit show"?

I'm not saying Unity should publish PR about how Unity is working well and this handover and subsequent fixes proves it, but I think you could argue that they could and that they would have at least some facts to back it up with.
