   I don't understand why this is a problem. We are moving through demographic transition, as the world reaches its carrying capacity for human populations. So, we are safe from overpopulation crisis, from future unemployment crises, etc.

   I don't understand this "slow rollout" thing about OpenAI competition. The chat / instruction models are continuously fine-tuned on real dialogues. To get these dialogues en masse, you need to deploy models to wide publi

    Algorithmic trading, of course. High-frequency trading in particular. But any trading, in fact, when you run simulations for thousands of instruments and search among millions of parameters. Or when you implement an exchange, or route order

    We don't have fast hardware decimals, except on IBM mainframes. So, if you need fast financial calculations which are too complicated for integers (e.g. gasp division), you usually use decimally-normalized doubles and do it very very

    They are not explaining to a 6 years old, they explains to somebody who will in their turn explain it to a 6 years old, which is a different task and has to be optimized in a different way.

    The “memory apparatus” can be simply a text file. Or also a physical simulator to run some mental experiments in.

    Can be simulated quite easily though. Just prompt it periodically to generate some text based on previous records, store it in some sort of long-term storage (even a text file), then sample from it and mix with each new prompt.

    The delta is very much _not_ negligible. Even people’s apartments were not in their property. No private business allowed, all production was government-managed. It is difficult to understand how USSR worked, unless you lived there.

    The Soviet economy was somewhat surreal and it is difficult to explain it well to the Western audience. Including vacations, vacation tickets («путёвки»), summer camps, sanatoriums and the like. I still remember some parts though, so if you

    It was quite safe, and it would be great for something like this to have a comeback. Now you can build your own Wilson chamber with isopropyl alcohol and some youtube instructions, but you’ll have to spend a lot of time to (legally) procure

    If this abomination of a war will continue for a few more years, they (I cannot say “we” anymore, even though I’m Russian), they will have to resort to bona fide gulags to maintain their workforce. This is how it has happened before.

    Maybe. I am vaccinated and boosted, of course, but long COVID can still happen. That would be a shame, I would hope for something more treatable, or at least recognizable by employers/authorities.

    Brain fog. Nearly zero productivity. Trying to figure out what’s wrong with me. Have about three weeks to do this, until the money is out. No feelings about the industry, that’s commerce. They have no obligation to pay me if I can’t perform

    Of course GPT can do it, you just need to raise the inference temperature. The difference, if it exists, would be more subtle.
