This is incorrect. The vaccine also provides protection from contracting the disease. This has been known to be true for at least the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines since this Spring, when the first big population studies came in. The efficacy

I get that when you boil it down to pattern matching it sounds less impressive, but we are starting to see superhuman pattern matching algorithms, and algorithms that display logic through advanced “pattern matching”. And it’s quite obvious

But government laws and regulations still have precedence over smart contracts or blockchain transactions. “But it’s written in the smart contract” is not a valid excuse for breaking the law of the country you reside in, and will be thrown

I find it interesting they’ve focused so much silicon on improving FP64 - in my mind that means they’re targeting physics simulations and other more traditional HPC workloads more than deep learning. I think that’s a smart thing on their pa

For clarity, i believe these are all mixture of expert models, where each input only sparsely activates some subset subset of the full model. This is why they were able to make such a big jump over the “dense” GPT3. Not really an apples-to-

Is your stance that the archive should continue to list information that can put someone’s life in imminent danger (the address of someone receiving death threats, for instance)? I would find it hard to defend such a position.

This feels like the reaction of a child who was embarrassed in front of their friends on the playground, too upset to understand that doubling down just makes it look worse. Sad to see that sort of behavior coming from one of the ~100 most

That’s a problem I already have, because I can never remember what time zone people or places are in. On the other hand, with a single time zone, there is never any ambiguity about what time someone/something is referring to (Eastern o

I don’t know how everyone else feels, but I would happily have my “‘normal” hours be completely changed if the whole world could just define a single, global time. I’m sure it would be a massive undertaking, but it would make my life so muc

I tend to be more than a little skeptical of organizations like DeepMind and (especially) OpenAI lately, when it comes to their pledges to democratize their advances in AI/ML/robotics. This, however, is 100% a great move by DeepMi

I don’t particularly like the title. The mathematicians showed some intuitive properties of equations that are used to model ice melting are correct. They did not prove anything about the actual physical process of ice melting, which would

For anyone who had not been aware (like me), apparently Intel has renamed their third gen 10 nm process to 7, and their 7 nm process (the one that they describe as being their first full use of EUV, that got pushed back to 2023) is now name

This is an outmoded concept based on the idea that humans are purely rational creatures, which we already know is false. Just providing better information does not sway individuals. People are far more swayed by information from their “trib

Really depends on what you mean by large. If you mean truly large, you will need a cluster to train it in any reasonable amount of time. You’d probably want to look at servers built on the HGX platform (8 A100s per server). We use servers l

If I were behind that I would not be perpetually confused. But I’d sure as hell have a split second of confusion, and generally we try to avoid those sorts of situations when driving.

I love the idea of archiving everything we can, but does anyone else feel like the arctic archive was created by people who got wrapped up in too much science fiction? I feel like there’s a lot more practical short-to-mid term archiving of

Oh yeah, I didn’t mean to suggest Intel is ahead, I was more suggesting that chips built on Intel 7 nm and TSMC 7 nm were not really directly comparable on the technology side. Of course for an end user it doesn’t really matter what causes

As an interested outsider (no connections or technical expertise), it seems like Keller’s tenure at a company very frequently coincides with very successful products being developed. Is that the view from inside the field as well? Is it see

To be fair, as I understand it, feature density of Intel 7 nm is more like TSMC 5 nm, from what I have read. Also, I think they took a risk with switching to a chiplet design, and it paid off big for them. Not sure who was in charge of desi

I am not arguing that I know anything to be right or wrong - I am not an epidemiologist or an infectious disease expert, or a doctor. I explicitly said that us non-experts are not able to verify these things on our own. I am saying that tho

As someone who works in the field, if your only conception of AI is a truly sentient intelligence, then yes, we are, as far as I can tell, nowhere near that. However, if by AI, you mean the use of sub domains of AI like machine learning or

Not the only use-case. It would also be nice to just have some limited communication abilities in areas pretty close to our house where we currently have non-negligible dead zones. But thank you, I’d never heard of those before.

Honestly, if the coverage is good and it doesn’t cost too much, this would get me to upgrade years before I was planning. I live in an area with frustratingly bad coverage from all providers, and if we ever go on a hike or something a littl
