No chance the world powers (US, China, France, UK, etc.) will allow something like that unless they are the one who create and enforce it. It's basically the first line of defense for homeland security: don't let terrorists into y

Not for airlines and international cruise ships with US as destination. The attendants won't let you board unless you have a valid US visas. Carriers get fined if they transport individuals with no proper documents to a US port of entr

Tbf Israel has more concern than travelers' comfort, given everything happening around them AND maybe within them too.

Your profile probably flagged some checks so they needed to get your fingerprints to actually confirm you are the one on the visa. I've never had to give fingerprints except for my first US visa.

It depends. In my country the online land register data is just a copy of the physical land owning certificate. The physical certificates (1 for the owner, 1 for the local government, and at least 1 more for some document keeping agency) ar

Multiple rockets exploded and space missions failed because of the imperial vs. metric BS, and those mistakes were made by people all with PhDs or equivalences. This is still pretty mild in comparison haha. Units and datetime will always be

That was just a massive operational failure, not the fault of any single engineer. No change, except hotfixes, should be able to land on prod unless it has at least go through test, staging, and at the scale of Amazon, shadow testing. Engin

Yep, the truth is nobody cares when people start submitting dozens of PRs a day with a bunch of AI-generated code reviews attached to it, all saying everything looks good. I'm witnessing this happening at my workplace right now: Sr&#x2

That 20 guests on a PJ are probably worth more than a fully booked 747. Price has always been set based how much customers are willing pay, not based on the value it creates.

Holy cow how can they raise over $70B every year for 8 years straight? Who is investing this much?

Essentially yes? The stock market operates entirely on the assumption that the lines will keep going up. As soon as they flatten the whole thing collapses onto itself.

What kind of logic is this? It's standard in the Linux world to give important services a separate user domain.

This is stupid if true. I doubt it though, given France does have appeal courts, implying the opposite of the OP's comment.

What does that even mean? There must be a software stack somewhere feeding the inputs to the model. Do you mean the weights are baked in sillicon?

The experiment to observe this behavior is pretty simple though (Young's double slit), and it was conducted more than 200 years ago. The explanation came much later but it's not like the phenomenon was hiding somewhere.

10,000 square meters sound suspiciously small for a datacenter, even more so if you have to account for supporting facility? Maybe a small one? it's just 100m by 100m, which is smaller than most Walmart Supercenter.

JSD is just symmetrized KL, it's the forward KL + reverse KL. In reinforcement learning, usually what we want is to find the optimal action, i.e. action that maximizes the reward, this translates to the so-called "mode-seeking&quo

On the battery size, 122kWh is actually pretty large for this size. Most Teslas have <100kWh batteries and they all have better or similar range.

Yeah that's actually rather inefficient. Tesla Model Y has 84kWh battery and a range of 300 miles.

If you actually use them you'll see that they are far from frontier models. They are much more cost-effective for what they are, but frontier they are not.

Thing is these models can also be a propaganda machine whether you run it locally or not. This is true no matter the origins. Chinese LLMs will never shit-talk CCP, and it will always give a rosy depiction of the Chinese government. It&#x27

And all of them will learn how expensive and difficult it is to make good hardware that the majority actually wants to use. Meta learned this the hard way (Facebook phone, Oculus, Meta home devices, etc.), the same for Google. I don't

This provides a high-level overview of diffusion models, you know, the models behind Stable Diffusion, Gemini banana, etc. I haven't read it carefully but I think it's pretty comprehensive. From SDE to Flow matching formulation, a
