NMT doesn't "contain" tranformers and deep RNNs, it can use them. LLMs use a transformer architecture, not everything using a transformer architecture is an LLM. NMT can actually use an LLM, but that's not the case according to the documentation you linked, they use a parallel dataset to train their models.
Maybe he wanted his point to be conveyed easily and used "post-apocaliptic fiction" as a shortcut, but probably knows it's not so trivial. I think people not versed in a particular domain can still have interesting (even if wrong) ideas, that are worth reading and thinking about.
I'm lucky. I'm lucky because I didn't ever have to try hard at anything in my life, and I have a good life.
I was born from two parents that cared about me. Luck
In a country where most people have a decent shot at life. Luck
I'm lazy, but I was granted a body that never failed me, and was pushed by people around me to try stuff. Luck
I'm lazy, but my laziness is somehow useful in this computer driven world. Luck
All this luck compounds, and thanks to the activities I was pushed to do, the schools I was pushed to go to, I was lucky to meet great friends, an amazing girlfriend, and have a cushy job, a nice house in a beautiful place. Luck. Luck. Luck. Luck
I have no ambition, I was never prepared for anything, but all I've had was luck.
That's what you call luck, and a lot of people try to convince themselves everything good that happens to them is because they somehow deserve it. Because they were "ambitious" and "prepared", and an "opportunity" struck at the right time, and obviously they seized it, and everyone that didn't just didn't deserve it as much as them.
Obviously some people weren't as lucky as me, and actually had to work hard, and managed to seize an actual opportunity that wasn't gifted to them. But that's not all luck, only a little part is. And those people are quite rare.
It's crazy how the hardware sector just can't grasp that software is actually important too. Everywhere I've worked at we were just second class citizens, last to get a new hire or any budget, and then it was our fault when the software was subpar. It seems like they think going down to our level will actually sully them.
>hardware sector just can't grasp that software is actually important too
they are treating software as important as they need to in order to turn a profit. it is ofcourse disappointing that you can sell such trash to willing buyers, but the market is what it is.
According to this https://github.com/the-pudding/data/tree/master/pockets data, only 27.5% of women's jeans and 97.5% of men's jean could fit a phone wider than 72mm in their front pocket. While not a common truth, it is a little annoying.
For this phone in particular, it's 5% for women and 85% for men. Assuming a lot of things, the majority of the population cannot fit this in their pocket.
It's hard to find research about this, but I think a lot of people might think that yes, phones are too big. (And that's not even thinking about hand size and how it affect comfort of use).
I heard a lot of people saying hosting your own email server was the best way to be considered as spam by every big email provider. I think it's a big issue, but I've never actually tried it.
