What money is the US spending in order to worsen it's own citizens basic needs? Not needs it stubbornly refuses to subsidize, but actively making sure they remain unmet?

I think most of this trend is happening in small counties. Lots of people are moving to big cities, immigration means that the population is still growing very slowly. Even if all these small counties emptied out, I don't think many pe

Oh I totally expect the size of models to grow along with whatever hardware can provide. I really do wonder how much more you could squeeze out of a full pod of gen2-H100's, obviously the model size would be ludicrous, but how far are

Here's where I'm at for the possible outcomes of a test for something like muscular dystrophy: True Positive: non-viable, next embryo/round of IVF False Positive: non-viable, next embryo/round of IVF True Negative: Cool,

So, we're about a 25-50% memory increase off of being able to run GPT3 on a single machine? Sounds doable in a generation or two.

I think what people are worried about is that parents may neglect to take measures they otherwise would based on overconfidence in genetic screening.

by TOMDM 5y ago
Not necessarily, if the confidence of the prediction doesn't match the real odds of outcome. Parents may make special accommodations for the needs of children with genetic difficulties that they otherwise wouldn't based on their c

I agree some people hide behind uncertainty and "weasel" in order to avoid accountability for anything they say. What that requires though is they caveat everything. I really respect people who say they are 99% sure and 60% sure w

I'd hardly call 3rd party grey market key resellers like g2a something that steam accepts voluntarily. These keys are often stolen or pirated. The Steam subreddit has a page dedicated to it https://www.reddit.com/r&#x2F

This sounds like it could produce nightmare scenarios for some platforms/consumers. Say I'm a publisher; I can sell my games for 5% cheaper than all the competing platforms and let my installer/store languish. All it needs to

The "tax" is already baked in, it costs more to run poorly optimised code. What we need is a carbon tax, then wasteful use of electricity can funnel back into paying for its impact.

I think the issue is partly that people don't see cars as large industrial robots because we're just so used to them. Everyone who has ever written code for a robot knows you should treat every pinch point as a finger blender, but

This is a great article, if I were to summarise the broader trend being analysed here it would be something like - Radicals set new bar for discourse. - Aligned moderates adopt and modify message - Radicals are ousted from their own movemen

Surely if your discrimintator gets orders of magnitude better like your describing, we could train the transformer GAN style, and reduce the dependence on generating so many examples to throw away.

Man, I'm not a huge Lex fan, but are we really going to lump him in with Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson? This also speaks to me of a solution in search of a problem. You know what's really non restrictive? Distributing MP3s via RSS

I know it's a lost battle because anyone whose not a nerd will never care, but I wish we could all just call content that moves to a centralised platform like Spotify an internet talkshow or whatever and leave the word podcast to the p

If anything the lesson here is to blow up harder and faster after you've taken the $100M so you can go back to doing your own thing with your massive and loyal fanbase. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, tear it off. How Spotify

by TOMDM 5y ago
Exactly, if you want to take issue with Spotify's decision that's fine, but calling this a speech issue is short sighted. Would we really want to further limit what right holders are allowed to do with their property?

I've just moved a small business (25-50 users) off of GoDaddy 365. Every horror story about other GoDaddy products is equally applicable to their 365 offering. Their support takes hours to get to, and has hung up on us multiple times w

My advice is to leave industry standard formatting and style arguments to engineers. If people want great code that runs easily and is easy to read, that's engineering work, built off the back of novel implementations. If people want n

This is such a fun story, thanks for sharing! I think with all the technological abundance we have now, we often forget the fun/creativity that limitations can impose on us.

Man, I remember doing this around a decade ago back before some of my friends abroad had smart phones, being able to message them when they were away from their computers had such a fun novelty to it.

I think you're underselling the importance people find in their gender. Personally I agree, for me gender holds little importance, if I'm being most true to myself I identify as non binary simply because I don't really identi
