There is a substantial level of natural filtration between rainwater and springwater, so they are not equivalent.

Wait, neither climate change nor pollution are in the category of threats that are expected to literally end this species .

I get that tools and game engines have different needs, however, arguably the benefits of better testing/dogfooding the practical usability of multiple parts of your engine are simply more important than whatever cost/time/ef

The point is that the engine developers don't get a reality check that a particular feature is janky and needs a change, since noone in their organization has ever actually used that feature, and the external developers who could ident

Yes, the point is that having an internally developed game would mean that when issues and inconveniences are identified, they force valuable improvements/fixes to the engine (which benefit the product and others) instead of workaround

For the currently used architectures, it doesn't make sense to have 5 specialized, dedicated computers as the "AI" text processing and "AI" video processing and the others use very similar architectures and there&#x

They don't have independent agendas - company owners have agendas, and they have the means and the rights to have the company implement whatever the owner's agenda is.

Company's continued existence and sustainability isn't necessarily a terminal goal or a valuable thing; most industries aren't growing eternally but eventually reach a decline, and in certain cases the best way to handle that

Rational investors should favor companies which prioritize investor interests, rather than companies which intentionally prioritize someone else's interests over investors.

There is certain intentional randomness in how the tokens are selected, and certain unintentional randomness due to letting some optimizations cause small side-effects, but in any case in that sentence I didn't really intended to talk

What is the broken part? There is a difference between investment and donation, should investors be forced to invest in ventures which don't explicitly promise them financial return on the investment?

You can form companies with all kinds of specific purposes, however, if you want to attract investors (or even attract general public investment by being a publicly traded ompany), then don't be surprised if most investors want to in

It's a short term workaround, as it has no impact on real value and they have to pay the bank anyway without that income stream; so if someone feels their operation will go insolvent, that's a way to postpone it at the cost of som

A key aspect is the information bottleneck enforced by the mechanism as the next "iteration" only gets to access the new token computed and discards all the other information it computed. So if you want it to spend more "time

No, the standard LLM implementations currently used will apply a fixed amount of computations during inference, which is chosen and "baked in" by the model architecture before training. They don't really have the option to &

I'd assume at least a three-layer distinction for this - juniors require guidance, seniors can provide it, but there's a lot of middle grounds and many years of work where you're not junior (at least according to this crite

Subjectively, the cover seems nice, and more importantly if the band itself are happy, it's their choice to make about what best fits their music and what message (if any) they want to send with it.

The nVidia stack seems to work on Windows in various ways, so it's up to AMD to be competitive with respect to compatibility.

But why do I need to write CUDA kernels? The CUDA kernels I need already exist, and I don't particularly care if writing them was so horrible that it required scratching your eyes out and sacrificing kittens to demons - I would care ab

The whole point of this discussion is various counterexamples where Gemini did "just randomize the gender, age, race" and kept generating female popes, African nazis, Asian vikings etc even when explicitly prompted to do the wh

These particular "guardrail responses" are there because they have been trained in from a relatively limited amount of very specific, manually curated examples telling "respond in this way" and providing this specific wo

At least in some latest controversies (e.g. Gemini generation of people) all of the criticized behavior was not emergent from ML training, but explicitly intentionally engineered manually.

The major risky use cases for image generators are (a) sexual imagery of kids and (b) public personalities in various contexts usable for propaganda.

What I mean by robust and targeted improvements is not about the concept as such, but about any choices specifically with respect to how you build the tokenization layer - if you're making a particular system, making better targeted ch

I'd put in various structural guardrails with respect to how the conversation should go. For example, be helpful and actually answer any questions, don't start arguing with the user, avoid insulting the user unless they request to

Given that how widespread romance scam schemes already are (the "market" is at least $0.5 billion/year), I would expect any reasonably functioning AI girlfriend/boyfriend model to be massively (ab)used also against unwil

I feel that it does have relevant technical detail - as far as I understand, any inference kernel is "supposed to" give the same outputs anyways, so if it produces incorrect results in certain GPU configurations, that indicates so

It makes sense - publications write about the things they added, changed or evaluated, not about all the (many!) things they do exactly as everyone else; so tokenization would be mentioned only if the publication is explicitly about a diffe

In a bunch of scenarios (mining, military, boats, planes) the vehicles explicitly don't have locks or ignition keys, you press a button and it starts up, you're good to go - should the manufacturer be liable if one gets stolen?

What I hear in your comment is that if you want to steal people's fingerprints, you'd have to target-advertise them a clone of fruit ninja, possibly designed so that certain specific angles of fingers are clearly optimal for doing
