The tweet is gone. What was in it? Also, I'm dubious about this unsubstantiated claim. The biggest past innovation (training with human feedback) actually shrunk the size of a model. Compare Bloom-366B with falcon-40B (much better). I

Have you tried falcon 40b instruct? Also take into account that chatgpt likely has some preprompt and by talking to falcon or other OS models it's all in your hands. Furthermore, Not many people discuss the significance of proper outpu

I found Google extremely useful for timezone info. You can write something like "what time is it in Detroit, USA When it's 1pm in Sydney, Australia", or "what time is it now in Baghdad" and it will give you the corr

Oh, my... Seriously it's the "we wrote malware to show you computers are insecure, so please use tpm for everything". No. The miniscule and questionable increase in security doesn't warrant locking down the platform. How

I learned (assembly)programming on a chip that had no multiplication instruction. It was 6510 (a version of popular 6502) and I fail to see the benefit. Back then every multiplication had to be done via addition in loop and division with su

It's a nice project, but isn't the majority of the problem it "resolves" already solved by Vulkan? I was under an impression Vulkan runs on everything. However I only used Vulkan (with ncnn) for AI. I don't know how

Indeed, but they don't just do basic items. They make huge industrial products the same way. See this video for example where they melt down steel scrap in arc furnaces covering their faces with just cloth and pour those huge steel gea

Hmm, I much prefer remote recruitment. I remember the old days. You had a brief chat with a recruiter or HR, than you had to suit up, drive/fly to some far place (often it would take an entire day - if you're working at the time i

Well, yes sensationalised news, full of emotional baggage is bad for mental wellbeing. However, I think completely opting out of news is a rather extreme choice. Having some information what is happening in your country, and in the world is

Who is "we"? Do you represent the site? It seems most of the readers of my comment took it as it was intended. Thought provoking, not flamewar inducing. Would I say the same thing on YouTube or reddit? Of course not. That would en

(not at all)OpenAI has a very short time window to monetize and/or lock in their product users. Currently the biggest model one can feasibly run on a desktop pc with let's say a previous gen gpu, 32gb ram, 2x fast nvme drives is a

Watch out, I'm doing devops too and I've caught chatgpt on such obviously stupid behaviors it hurts to even think about it. It's not just hallucinations problem (edge cases or doing unusual stuff). It seems to give answers th

Especially in translation quality. Being able to run high quality translation model that does 100 languages directly without going through English on a desktop pc with a previous gen gpu (2070 in my case) is huuuuge. (I'm talking about

To be fair, commenting on your customer support anecdote, you can get very good quality answers from chatgpt on common knowledge items. You just have to craft the prompt correctly. I don't even start talking to it without the first ins

Personally I think we're doing AI wrong. Every time we simplify the architecture we get huge improvement in speed. CPUs have to everything (load/store, branching, execution), GPUs do a lot less branching and aren't optimised

Looking at this from across the ocean this whole thing looks like it could be an onion article. The society shouldn't be racist. The fact some people still are is not an excuse for rasism in the opposite direction. Those things don&#x2

I'll sooner stop using youtube than watch it with the ads. I've been watching it exclusively via smartyoutubetv app (an open source android TV app). Every couple of months youtube does something to break the app. Every single time

Personally I really dislike very specific questions you can Google an answer to in 3s and consequently no one remembers it while doing an actual job. IMO when it comes to verification of actual technical ability the candidate should be told

I have to say I found estate agents quite useful (mostly when I was renting). I much preferred dealing with a letting dept. of a reputable estate agency than random landlords. Yes, I had good landlords(funnily enough when I was quite poor i

The assumption of the article is that future AI will be more intelligent or at least equivalent to humans. Although I could perhaps see a possibility of equivalence I seriously doubt we can make AI that is more intelligent than us. Why? Wel

Seriously LLMs are remarkable tools, but they are horribly unreliable. What tasks could such autonomous agent do (beyond what a chat bot, perhaps extended with web access, already does)? I mean which task is so complex one can't just a

If a tab crashed I would be sympathetic to this point of view, but the entire browser is killed. So no, it's not google's fault in my book. As for testing. Really, you expect them to test against Linux Kernel 4? If so, how about 2
