I love this article. It nicely answers the question I posed (https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=lrem#32263287 https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=lrem#32263287) in the discussion of the original announcement: is today's db good enough to be a breakthrough for something useful, e.g. pharma or agriculture? And the answer, somewhat unsurprisingly, seems to be "useful, but not life-changing". And that's a perfectly good result in my eyes :)
- frozencell 4y agoOpenAI's GPT-3 and DALL•E2 might be life-changing for their creative users, writers and illustrators or beginner creators, I can't remember any life-changing use case for groups (outside of the creators themselves). For ML researchers, transformers seem to not be used as AGI at all (despite general or multi-modal potential) but mostly used for test and probability tool.

- SilasX 4y agoThat link goes to the top of your comment history. I think you want this link to ensure you see the right comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32263287 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32263287
- lrem 4y agoDamn. Thanks. I even tried verifying the link and it seemed to go to the right place. Saw your reply too late to edit.
- SilasX 4y agoI think what happened is the link worked as long as the comment was still on the first page of your comment history, and the #fragment could jump down to it. Then once you made the comment in this discussion, it wasn’t within your comment history’s first page anymore, and the #fragment is invalid. I don’t know how you got that link, but, to avoid that issue, use URL pointed at by the “X days ago” link.
