Are you sure you have a CO2 monitor and not an eCO2 monitor? A lot of cheaper CO2 sensors really detect VOCs and try to estimate CO2 from that.

Obviously the implications of this go far beyond game design... but looking at this makes me so excited for the next few years in gaming.

It's crazy how effective the narrative is that the police were "defunded" when you're in here dropping facts showing the opposite.

A small percentage of people commit crimes over and over and over again. Usually when you learn the perpetrator of a stabbing like this, they have priors. And when someone has priors, odds are they have committed many other crimes for which

Awesome! Thanks for posting the stats. In my workflows I've found rare but noticeable quality differences between the model sizes. So when practical I try to use the larger ones.

I agree with all your analysis here. This judgement has far reaching consequences. It's reminiscent of discussions around MGM using automated facial recognition to ban people from venues. Our legal framework was set up with an implicit

If speed is important, you're much better off using a larger model and whisper.cpp.

I wonder how corporations are going to adapt to a world where more and more meetings are transcribed and summarized by language models. Adopting that technology, while it's a productivity boost, will expose companies to vastly greater

I believe in this context "data moat" refers to data they have that other companies can't access. Microsoft has huge amounts of email and other data in Office365. And this has a clear path to monetization since they already h

Throughout this thread there's a ton of pessimism so I want to inject a little hope. Bloom's 2 sigma problem (0) tells us that one-on-one tutoring vastly outperforms traditional classroom instruction. An average student given one-

This spells doom to a lot of other companies. Consider Otter.ai, who's core offering is automatic meeting notes. MS Teams just ate their lunch. Pretty much anything your startup's productivity tool can do, Microsoft can do better

Maybe this is the beginning of the end of middle management? A large part of the work is keeping up with what your employees are doing, removing blockers, and maintaining alignment with other teams. This makes it vastly easier to keep up wi

> ai development—for now—requires prohibitively large computing power What's crazy is that it may not be that way for long. If people can run LLaMa on a Pixel 6, it seems easy for us to get to a point where all computing resources h

The supplies to create biological weapons are actually surprisingly cheap! Not as cheap as graphics cards though. To stop AI development would require pretty extreme restrictions on computing resources. It's really hard to imagine that

This is going to be the "oh shit" moment for huge portions of the larger professional world. Many people have no idea about the recent advancements in LLMs. When their emails start writing themselves things are going to get very,

Right... but the whole point Bloom's experiment is that if you give every kid a tutor, they perform (on average) at the 98th percentile. Not just the rich kids who can afford tutors. I do think there are valid concerns that this techno

by alach11 4y ago
My mind went to the same place. Knowing that "the average tutored student was above 98% of the students in the control class", imagine how transformative it will be to lift the average student to the 98th percentile! This may be t

People are having their minds blown because these LLMs are the closest we've come to Artificial General Intelligence. Rather than excelling at individual tasks, they seem to perform reasonably well (near human level) at almost every ta

Are they any tools you recommend for augmented labeling? The ones I looked at seemed a bit hard to get started with.

A lot of this discussion reminds me of the book Blindsight. Something doesn't have to be conscious or intelligent to harm us. Simulating those things effectively can be almost indistinguishable from a conscious being trying to harm us.

Yes, AI is getting a lot of hype right now. No, this is nothing like blockchain. For something to be overhyped, it must have a hype level disproportionate to its value. Deep learning is generating a huge amount of real value and is solving

The problem is ChatGPT recipes are (frequently) bad or (unlikely but possibly) dangerous. Maybe this will change as the service improves? For now though you'd be much better off using a low-fluff reliable source like SeriousEats or NYT
