I think the implication is that you do noise abatement on the AC units (i.e. earthen berms, better site planning, etc.).

The current known helium reserves are estimated to last (at current consumption rates) for 100-200 more years. Fwiw, all this non-renewable talk is only true in a world without space exploration or fusion (two things that will hopefully be

First some background: About 85% of payment fees are taken by the bank that issues the credit cards (this portion is called interchange). The remaining 15% is split between the card network and the merchant acquirer (in this case Stripe). S

It’s just very theoretical and therefore hard to care about. It boils down to the question “do we get richer by making more or demanding more” and there are plenty of paradoxes depending on which side you choose (If it’s because we make mor

It's important to remember the first principle of what GPT does. It looks at the pattern of a bunch of unique tokens in a dataset (in this case words online) and riffs on those patterns to make outputs. It will never learn math this wa

A lot of people don't really get that our brains are a bunch of specialized subcomponents that work in concert (Your pre-frontal cortex just cannot beat your heart, not matter how optimized it gets). This is unsurprising, as our bra

The reason it’s not implemented yet is because none of these products are being monetized yet, so there’s no incentive. Google can legally return a copyrighted image in Image search (it’s not selling the image, it’s selling ads against sear

There’s various kinds of learning (and to be clear transformer-based LLMs do sort of “learn”). ChatGPT is a really finely tuned probability model (the tuning came during the training and that’s what I would equate to learning), but it lacks

You’re not supposed to ask people if they read the article on here, because usually the answer is yes (and you should expect it to be). I did read it. The point of neural nets is that they are really good at probabilisticly linking tokens

Understanding language and understanding symbols are two very different things. I don’t disagree that we may be able to build symbolic neural nets 15 years from now, but they will look almost nothing like LLMs.
