I think much of the philosophical discussion on the pertinent issues here have been discussed at length in the context of Legal, Medical, or Financial advice. In essence, there is a general consensus on the conduct concerting trusted adviso

That was the choice they made, support over performance. It was the right choice, but it doesn't change the fact that it is subpar performance. I am hoping in the future there will be options that allow them to offer both without sac

I suspect selling the M.2 SSD now is establishing the product now in preparation for something with onboard support. If so maybe it means the Pi 6 is closer than I thought. I was guessing mid next year. Really the weak spot of the PI has al

Do you think if it were allowable for Amazon to do that, it would actually be profitable for them to do so? As soon as any work became popular, anyone could undercut Amazon. If you really think that Amazon is in a position where they can ch

There's definitely a distinction between fetching data for training and fetching data as an agent on behalf of a user. I guess you could demand that any program that identifies itself as a user agent should be blocked, but it seems co

So I am going to be critical of how this piece is being presented. I'd like to start that by saying it is well written by an obviously talented person who will do well in life. I'm prefacing my comments with this because I real

That flow chart seems pretty reasonable to me. The big one is "Are the entities with write access having a difficult time deciding who should be in charge of the data store" The vast majority of pointless blockchaining come fro

By what mechanism can you distinguish a decline from one cause compared to another? I could understand if, given enough time for all of the factors involved to occilate that you could pick out a signal, but that's not the data that exi

The argument is that a banana is a squishy hammer. You're saying hammers shouldn't be squishy. Simon is saying don't use a banana as a hammer.

I am continually amazed by how often something mentioned on Hacker News comes within an unreasonable proximity to something that I have done recently. I couldn't get something like that done one-shot with Claude. On the other hand, Cl

Is there a handy list of all RISC-V instructions?

A clear description of the problem, but one-shot. Something along the lines of Can you generate 8-bit AVR assembly code to multiply two 24 bit posit numbers You get some pretty funny results from the models that have no idea what a posit

I know, I mentioned his name in a post last week, Figured doing so again might seem a bit fanboy-ish. I am kind-of a fan but mostly a fan of good explanations. He's just self-selecting for the group.

There's a second half of a two hour video on YouTube which talks about creating embeddings using some pre transforms followed by SVD with some distance shenanigans, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6s7PrfJlQ0&t=3084

One of my test queries for AI models is to ask it for an 8 bit asm function to do something that was invented recently enough that there is unlikely to be an implementation yet. Multiplying two 24 bit posits in 8-bit Avr for instance. No

I made a game on this principle many years ago. Two players with turn left,turn right, thrust and fire. You can only exist in your own space, shooting at the walls dug holes of your colour. You had a bunch of critters scattered around t

What does that mean for environmental impact? Hydroelectric power uses water in the sense that the "used" water is at a lower altitude. What happens once that is done, is what matters. Depending on what global average means,

I have encountered a lot of references to AI using water, but with scant details. Is it using water in the same way a car uses a road? The road remains largely unchanged? The implication is clear that it is a waste, but I feel like if they

From 2019 but a decent overview by Leland McInnes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iol3Lk6kyU There's a newer thing called PacMap which is an interesting thing that handles difference cases better. Not as robustly test

Perhaps the better solution would be to have the fast machine but have a pseudo VM for just the software you are developing that uses up all of those extra resources with live analysis. The software runs like it is on a slower machine, but

How can they tell the difference between the CUII giving up and the CUII just saying that they have given up once they successfully found a way to conceal the blocks from the people checking?

I had an experience like this in a real-life non technical situation. Walking down the street I receive a text to say my glasses were ready to be picked up. I had not purchased any glasses, and the store that I was to collect them from was

I think this seems totally reasonable, the additional context provided is, I think, important to the requirement. Some of the AI policy statements I have seen come across more as ideology statements. This is much better, saying the reason

I don't suppose you have an eye towards verilog in the long term? I'm curious as to the breadth of possibilities that could be searched. I would imagine something like this could invent flash attention if it cast its net wide eno

That's essentially it. Learning what the chain rule does, and learning what it can be used for, and how to apply it. Neither are really inventions, they are discoveries, if anything the chain rule leans slightly more to invention than

I think Hinton himself has made that observation. In a recent talk he made a quip that he had to change some slides because if you have a Nobel prize in physics you should at least get the units right.

It seems a bit much to stick a Proper Noun in front of Neural Networks and call it a new paradigm. I can see how that worked for KANs because weights and activations are the bread and butter of Neural networks. Changing the activations kin
