>People seem to find "if I don't then someone else will" to be an unacceptable answer but it seems to me to be fairly central. Because you can use this as a cop out for truly heinous work. I.e. gain of function research, a

But 32 hours a week is far less than 8-10 hours a day for 6 days. Not sure what you are getting at.

Just want to point out how cool it is that a Field Medal winner is on MO. Don't know if any Turing Award winners or someone like Jeff Dean is on StackOverflow.

>Then the AI got better, and still the dreamlike things never go away. The constant problem with the hands, words never properly formed, clocks always look wrong, etc. Might be a bit behind the times, Midjourney seems to have completely

Whats disturbing to me if this is true is the number of "top voices" in ML on ML-Twitter were head over heals with this paper. How many of them actually read it at all?

People like you are hilarious. You're sitting high in your ivory tower thinking that no one without a PhD in CS from Stanford/Berkeley/MIT can do what you do. Meanwhile people will take the Fast.ai course and be training full

What does that have to do with ML/DL? You don't need Lie Algebra to understand how to do a matrix dot product...

Are you really saying that you don't think someone eating 10,000 calories of Kale won't get obese?

Interesting seeing job postings wanting 5+ years of LLM experience. Like unless you were at OpenAI working on GPT-1 or Google on BERT there's no one else in the world with that much experience and your shitty Startup/Fortune 500 c

This is pure gatekeeping. The math behind LLMs, that is, the math behind Neural Nets, is undergrad freshman level Calculus and some linear algebra. Not really complex at all. Can you deal with derivatives, the chain rule and matrix multipli

"No one becomes obese eating natural foods" That is the most hippy BS I have ever heard. Eat 10,000 calories of raw sugarcane a day for 1 year and get back to me on the results. >If you remove the sense of taste from someone, I

Don't think you need a Phd to understand this: "the confidence interval was consistent with a null finding." Aka the study found nothing.

Weird then that Semaglutide is so effective for weight loss when it's mechanism of action is to reduce the amount you eat. Almost like that was the answer all along.

Can't publish a paper with no findings so they add "might reduce". By the same logic it "Might" increase all cause mortality or might increase lung cancer incidence. Trash study.

Maybe, just maybe, the best people to build complex software systems that serve millions of people aren't the ones who can do the most leetcode problems.

It happens much more in Asia, a place with oh idk several billion people. So hardly a US phenomena.

The question shouldn't be whether the weights are copyrightable but whether they are protected under other electronic communication/data privacy laws.

Corporate data is of course protect-able. Otherwise why don't you just open up all your databases so anyone can access them?

>No, it's a cultural thing. IIT's, Peking/Tsinghua, SNU(Korea), University of Tokyo, Oxbridge, etc. etc. Cultural thing that happens across the entire world?

by adamsmith143 3y ago
Are you saying that say MIT and Caltech students don't have higher than average IQ? It's almost a certainty that they do and I'm sure it extends to the Ivy league and other elite schools.

I'm talking about the constituents who actually believe that the reason not to adopt nationalized healthcare is because the gov would screw it up.

You mean the previous Prez's son in law who somehow got a Multibillion dollar investment from the Saudi's while he ostensibly worked directly in the white house? Yeah that should be investigated for sure.

Right they simultaneously believe the government is so incompetent they can't implement national healthcare that every other major nation on earth has figured out but are so competent they can get thousands of people to keep the most i
