Chimps aren't so stupid that they would freeze to death a few minutes away from a warm place they know.

As the quote in the original article doesn't mention CSAM but rather child pornography, I think it is relevant to talk about the difference between these terms. The term of CSAM (Child sexual abuse material) was introduced to (IMHO rea

I don't find that surprising at all. There are publicly available large lists that compile many historical password breaches, they are easy for attackers (or anyone) to access and it's quite reasonable to expect that at least 0.

I'd bet that SpyCloud has less customers than the number of people who have integrated Troy's free pwned password data to actually mitigate password reuse.

There are ways of scoring forecasts that reward accurate-and-certain forecasts in a manner where it's provably optimal to provide the most accurate estimates for your (un)certainty as you can.

Generally, for these tasks when we say "humans can solve them" then people are not solving the same problem; they're trying (and succeeding) to find a good solution (where various heuristics work), and often for most, real

It seems quite reasonable to assume that the way to go is preventing people from breathing in ground-up countertops instead of trying to make countertops that would magically be healthy to inhale.

Anti-trust laws generally make it illegal to leverage a dominant position in one market (which google has in search) to favor your business in another market.

Doesn't it depend on the state?

Ah, I was thinking more about hydrogen fuel cells and gaseous hydrogen (which I've seen discussed for the plane replacements) not cryogenic liquid hydrogen.

It's about informing the only person who can get extra information, decide if it's severe and do something about it - the editor. The author can't (and shouldn't) do anything directly about the anonymous reviewer, all th

Storage of large quantities of hydrogen is a pain and also heavy (which matters a lot on a plane), so if you really want clean fuel, then synthetic hydrocarbons make more sense on a plane than hydrogen.

Quite the contrary, just as for many products already it was better to search stackoverflow than the technical documentation, already last year one of the (few) use cases where I found ChatGPT really useful was asking for examples for vario

People go to where the desirable content is, and some "humanweb" with a high barrier of entry inevitably has a chicken and egg problem, where it's not worth to go there until the thing you need is there, and so people who mig

I strongly disagree, I believe that it's likely someone who has never ever programmed would be able to solve multiple advent of code tasks using GPT-[x] models and some copy/pasting and retries, and I'm 100% convinced that a

Thing is, we'd expect people to apply a reasonable standard workflow for such tasks, to program as they normally do. Already for quite some time at least for some people that includes IDE with integrated documentation, templates, boile

RNNs have "lost the hardware lottery" by being structurally not that efficient to train on the cost-effective hardware that's available. So they're not really used for much right now - though IMHO they are conceptually s

Competition is not opt-in, especially when it's about scarce but required resources such as housing. When the majority of households in the market became dual income, every single income family inevitably had to compete with them for h

The issue is that there is no such thing such as "best ML HW" because different ML algorithms need quite different things. The process you describe would work to produce hardware that's best for some specific type of ML mod

Why would someone need to buy an additional powerful computer if they can do it on directly on their laptop, which needs to be powerful anyway?

Nicely worded, but with regard to the OpenAI conflict I wonder if you intended this to be about Sam Altman or the topic of (G)AI safety or both?

All of the employees work for (and many have equity in ) for a for-profit organization which is owned partially by the non-profit who controls everything and Microsoft. The non-profit is effectively a shell to overview the actual operations

The prompts and responses strongly reminded me of the Tales of the Arabian Nights board game, where the key game mechanic is revealing a paragraph of some situation challenging the protagonist, making a choice on which course of action to p

For various industry-specific or specialized task models (e.g. recognizing dangerous events in self-driving car scenario) having appropriate data is often the big secret sauce, however, for the specific case of LLMs there are reasonable se

Free software means that you have the ability - both legal and practical - to customize the tool for your needs. For software, that means you have to be able to build the final binary from source (so you can adapt the source and rebuild), f

The issue with this use-case is that the "I want to be able to rent elastic compute for it" is not a fundamental need or desire, but effectively a desire to save costs for hardware and other infrastructure. Like, for a true need

No, FHE is not intrinsically vulnerable to any side-channel attacks, by definition; the properties hold no matter how the "executor" executes the operations and they include the assumption that obviously they can see (or change!)

The benchmarks listed there are approximately 100 times slower than the original Intel 8088 microprocessor released 1979 on which the original IBM PC was based. That microprocessor was efficient enough for many applications of general pu
