While this is obviously a joke, light curves interpretation is quite challenging at times, indeed.

Human brain is just an ultra large scale analog spiking neural network with some particular state realizations, not too much difference (the architecture is different, but computation seems to be universal). We even employ some internalized

Why not? If we want to build AGI, that’s a good name to choose.

Has anyone ever seen their product? How it stands against state of the art? Are they better than what is already available in open source (Alpaca, Coati etc), and by how much?

I don’t know. They say “cursed”, I say “cool hack”. Software is there to be abused and bended to fit user needs.

I assume they have paid in advance already, as I inferred from text. And yes, of course, everyone bills until formal cancellation, at least here in Switzerland.

Judging from the number of downvotes, either I am even more socially inept than I ever thought before, or this is a genuine cultural difference.

I don’t see any problem with this. OK, if someone doesn’t want to talk to me, it’s their right. They don’t owe me any explanation or anything else. If I tried to repeatedly reach them and demand explanation — that’s borderline stalking to m

Great idea, if properly engineered.

Yes, the entire economy will be overhauled in next 6-12 months. The transition will be turbulent and rough. But it's not like everyone will be out of jobs. Just the nature of their jobs will change significantly.

They did, because either they didn’t have criminal charges against them yet, or were smuggled out of the country illegally. If you have criminal charges against you in Russia, you can’t get out. And at this point you can be sentenced to 5 y

Nope. There is C in CH4, and that C makes CO2. There is no C in U, though. Nuclear energy is good for climate.

Not your production -- not your coins^W hardware. In peacetime, it doesn't matter too much, because nearly nothing can outweigh the reputation loss if there is a case of remote equipment sabotage. In wartime, however, all bets are off.

After five years (+2 years of the process itself), while constantly checking if your marriage is still alive and well (like, spying on you or asking your neighbors or even calling your kids at 7AM if you have any; and, of course, endless in

Sure (I am Russian, emigrated in 2005, never been in Russia since 2014). Here are some of the actual reasons: 1) Immigration is hard. Particularly when you are not from a well-developed country with a powerful passport. You will live on a b

This model is also censored to the brim, it refuses to answer half of my questions, some of them perfectly legal. It’s useless, we already have GPT-4 (and Vicuna is even more censored/guarded). Alpaca-30B is much better, it will even t

Tried to use it for 3 months, couldn’t adapt, had to sell it. Also, it has Cherry MX brown switches, which are not my favorite to say the least, with their middle-of-the-ground sort-of bumpiness. I much prefer either fully clicky or fully l

How do you manage python versions with venv? E.g. numba still doesn’t run on my system python 3.11, so I want a 3.10 somewhere, but can’t install it through a package manager, etc.

You can take nanoGPT and work backwards from it, googling all concepts and papers. A book on PyTorch would be fine, too.

Killed by whom? Killing is not the highest form of intellectual expression, which is what we want to achieve.

It is good (and definitely not wrong) when a child becomes better than their parents, and when an apprentice does better than their teacher. And nothing is of greater joy to parents, teachers, and AI builders.

If AI would be genuinely better than humans, so, what’s the problem? All of us are going to die anyway. I don’t see any difference where our species evolution will be continued, in meat or in silicon. Whatever is better, is fine.

Well, what did they expect?

I tested it and it doesn't seem to reproduce its own results. E.g.: > List 10 dogs. I'm sorry, but I don't have enough information to respond appropriately at this time. On the other hand, a plain alpaca.cpp with the defau

Ah, right. Didn’t get much sleep today, sorry. Yes, that would be an exception.

I don’t know. Work is exactly what gives me depression. If money wasn’t a problem, I would happily be not working, focusing on understanding things, research, and the like.

I watch and read everything on my own time whenever I like it, why would I ever interrupt my flow? Every distraction ruins my day.

Yes. The dotcom boom of 1999-2000 was something to observe. Things were getting ridiculous. Like a food delivery company (Webvan?) planning to seed the US with thousands newly built warehouses and logistics centers, and hiring freaking Bech

Humans create human children all the time, and stop supporting them at some point. So, nothing too unusual. Perhaps it will learn to earn money to support itself.

If it is possible to continue the process from the saved state — nothing, except for some time lost. Just like human sleeping.
