It's easy to invest a million in some index fund, but it's not easy to beat the market.

Also note some of the limitations with Lexical - e.g. you can't even drag and drop highlighted text within a block.

There isn’t - you are competing against big bank trading bots in a world where the best bots win.

It also works well for questions that have easy/medium answers and aren’t asked a lot. Complex questions that involve things that aren’t well documented are obviously going to be harder for an LLM to answer, particularly when the LLM d

They will have a different set of scaling problems to what Facebook had in 2005 - their decentralised architecture will throw out new challenges that will need time to be worked through. Has anyone else created a decentralised social networ

If they opened the floodgates with a not-ready product and also fell over, that's a much worse look. Besides, 'limited' account creation to form communities is a pretty well-established scaling strategy. They have scaled from

Parent comment said PC-exclusive, Witcher 3 and RDR2 are examples where the PC port came out way after the console release and they are both fairly old games at this point.

IMO if you look at how much better GPT-4 is at coding compared to GPT-3.5, and advances in letting GPT test and debug it’s own code, it’s not going to be “cheaper and worse” in the future. GPT and LLMs will allow good and seasoned programme

It’s like eBay - clothes are listed and shipped by users. If you did have to sort clothes from bags though you would probably just do it manually to start with, and if you had to scale up you would probably empty the bags onto a belt convey

We would also have to account for profit (let’s say 3%) and all overheads (let’s say 15%). Average car insurance charge is c$2000 so we can say $380 of that is probably overhead and profit. That leaves $1,640 left. $340B then divided by the

Need to account for the fact that not all Americans drive. To get to the $1,035 per person they have taken the total cost ($340B) and divided it by the population, but if you divide it by the number of drivers (i.e. people actively insured)

Well if another competitor starts using your protected term and you don’t protect it, it is more likely to become generic. (Ie if Apple does not protect the word iPhone and then Google and Samsung use the term iPhone for 5 years unchallenge

If you didn't learn anymore, could you still be conscious? IMO the answer is yes.

Article is pretty thin on strong arguments. It seems to hypothesise that a computer could never be 'conscious' just because it is made of switches, but we are conscious and just made of bundles of neurons. The whole argument just

These are maybe true for GPT-4, but probably don't hold for GPT-10 or whatever the landscape looks like in another handful of iterations.

Future transport is unlikely to be single mode - it’s almost definitely multimodal and will include both cars (why not self driving?) and rail.

Adoption sometimes takes that long, we just always forget the predecessors to the devices that made it big (eg the worldwide success of mobile phones was not overnight, and was limited to business people and the rich at first).

I mean it's a stunning achievement in the same way counting out loud to a million is, but it doesn't necessarily mean I think it was a good use of time in the context of making a movie.

LLMs can reason, and it’s surprising. I think some people get caught up on the “next word prediction” point, because this is just the mechanism. For the next word prediction to work, the LLM has all sorts of internal representations of the

Well they are programs capable of some amount of reasoning… Basic/moderate reasoning tasks are absolutely in the capability of GPT-4.

Well you are right - Spotify operates in 184 markets, so even if you only had a small 10 person team for each country handling sales/marketing/support/localisation, that's already c2000 employees before you start on anyt

But humans eyes often look away from the road, close during a sneeze etc, and have a very narrow viewing angle compared to a car surrounded 365 degrees by cameras... so there are plusses and minuses. Human vision isn't that perfect for
