It’s pretty absurd that the US government talks out of both sides of its mouth on this issue. There’s an effort to divest from oil, shut down permitting, and discourage investment. And when companies respond to this by reducing investment,

Didn't the FTC just cut funding to Starlink in December for failing to meet the download speed targets? Seems like that decision was really premature, seeing as how they had years remaining to meet the targets and they're showing

This is the coolest thing I've read this year. It reads like science fiction. Who would even imagine it's possible to read text from a 2000 year-old rolled up burnt-crisp paper?

I certainly didn't expect to read a treatise from the Pope about LLM hallucination today. I wonder who at the Vatican is keeping up with the latest AI advances and helping Francis stay on top of it? This is actually a pretty balanced&#

The challenging is getting the gas from a remote well location to a plant where it can be processed. This requires pipelines, gas gathering facilities, etc. If any of that infrastructure is experiencing an upset condition, the operator has

While there's prior associations between retinal photos and autism, I'm by default very skeptical of any AI algorithm purporting "100% accuracy". It smells like data leakage. I would bet that even physicians aren't

Imagine your sitting on a office chair with wheels. If you're holding a large weight and suddenly throw it forward, the chair will roll backwards. This would happen in a vacuum too.

It still doesn't make sense to me. If I inherit a farm or other asset, I don't owe capital gains until I sell it right? If the basis remained the same, it's not like I suffer in any way upon inheritance.

Well if you torture the analogy enough, you could argue a tree based model is a lot of if/else statements!

The royalty interest is probably the largest take for the government in this case. Typically that would be between 15% and 20% of the gross revenue generated by the leases.

There are a lot of huge announcements here. But in particular, I'm excited by the Assistants API. It abstracts away so many of the routine boilerplate parts of developing applications on the platform.

Working hard: writing a script to detect when the website goes live. Working smart: bring the office manager a pastry, ask them about their day, and drop hints about how excited you are for the tickets this year.

I wonder how much they're projecting to spend on this? Or maybe they're prepared to eat a loss on this just to stay relevant in the face of Bing/Kagi/OpenAI? Results from these models are orders of magnitude more expensi

No need to fine tune the model. The model could be augmented with retrieved context (as discussed in my sibling comment).

The simplest way, as rdedev is describing, is to do Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in your prompting. This would require the addition of a vector database and a text embedding model. There are many open source / local / priv

In the linked paper they demonstrate that adding gaussian noise can obfuscate the original text. Retrieval performance is hurt by 2% and reconstruction performance is hurt by 87%. So that seems like a favorable tradeoff.
