This is all surprisingly substantative. That said, there are many results that connect gravitational and thermodynamic phenomena. It would be good to understand how these look from the perspective of this theory. Edit: just started reading,

That's the response to the article I was expecting to read. This is a different article, though. Go ahead and read it, worth it!

This is essentially realizing that free markets don't pay proportionally to value created, but according to the marginal value created by paying more. Compensation according to value created is fair. It's a goal we should strive f

The skills needed to formalize the proof and come up with the proof are probably quite distinct. There are many people now who understand the proof well. Also, even if Wiles would be the best person to do it, he might be more inclined to sp

Not an expert, but I think your question is roughly analogous to asking why there isn't one programming language. There are many different approaches to writing formalization systems, and so far we don't have one that has won out

If you spend 8% and the GDP is boosted by 4% once, and then grows at the normal rate afterwards, then the GDP will stay 4% larger indefinitely. That 8% debt would generate 4% more economic output this year, next year, the year after, the ye

The money is coming from somewhere. If it wasn't lent to the government, it would be spent in other ways. So the only reason that it should cause a recession is if the government is spending it in better ways to grow the economy than t

Yet the Steamdeck is selling great.... Gaming is no longer dominated by affluent teenagers. At least not to the degree it once was.

Reaction rates are approximately exponential in temperature, but there is nothing special about 10C. The doubling temperature difference depends on what reaction you look at. This is as opposed to decibel for sound, where +10 decibel means

Not sure that the size of the model is relevant. If you take a PNG of Mickey Mouse, and create a similar vector graphic that is a fraction of the size, that would still be derivative.

Carbon pricing is great theory, but also is a massive cop-out politically. It moves the pain point into the future. If todays governments can't implement measures that are somewhat uncomfortable, why do you believe that a government in

Absolutely. A sane hydrogen strategy can not be left to the lobbyists. Unfortunately, these companies have a lot of money to throw around, and they have no qualms about speaking to peoples "anti-ideological" impulses. In Germany,

> If employers want to fire everyone that is in a union, they too should be welcome to do so. But... why? What would that achieve? You seem to essentially be asking that unions should not have any legal protections to redress the intrins

I think it's also related to the fact that they operate in an incredibly hostile environment. A broad general union can not thrive, so the only ones that remain are those special interest unions that wield enormous power to extract ren

The fact that El Capitan is AMD says that at least for Science/HPC there definitely is evidence of a closing gap.

And thus copyright is not a good framework for LLMs... It's obvious that this technology was not considered when developing current legal concepts, so if the concepts produce unsatisfactory outcomes, they need to be reevaluated.

by Certhas 3y ago
I don't understand your argument. I concur with the GP ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37780772 ) that there are legitimate issues around LLMs that need addressing. I say that current legal principles seem inadequ

January 6th or not, the very fact that Trump intentionally persistently spread misinformation to delegitimise an election he lost is a clear and direct attack on the central pillar of democracy. The election was not stolen. He knew. He lied

So we need new legislation. Edit: To be more explicit, on my view both the parent and the op are right, and they don't contradict each other: We don't need new copyright legislation. We need new legal concepts. I think both people

Is that a serious question?

I found this to be not true in practice when working with graphs. Having access to high performance explicit loops and ifs/masks allows one to focus on the hard parts of the algorithms, rather than on the purely incidental puzzle how t

I think the person you are replying to was using notebook as shorthand for interactively. You don't write scripts that you call, you have to have a repl open to interactively feed code to. Autocompletion in Julia is also just terrible

In the long run I think the determining factors will be: Connection to the Python ecosystem. Python remains the number 1 teaching language by a large margin. AI funding. If they can get the buy in from the AI community that Julia never got,

matmul is a wrapper for BLAS. If you're faster than BLAS you're beating handwritten assembler code specialized per CPU architecture.

So this sounds like some men and women were earning less than others. If pay has a large variance (e.g. because some people are better at selling themselves), and the workforce is overwhelming male, you would expect exactly this. Even if wo

Sure, this isn't in the hands of the industry as a whole, though. The question is: Does AMD think they can earn a better profit down the road than if they invest in/focus on something else (e.g. maintaining their lead over intel o

Given the current situation, this is wishful thinking/a long way off. Nvidia is considerably better at letting people get the job done on consumer grade GPUs than AMD.
