He shows the proposed new model in that video too though, not just the drone planes.

It’s so interesting to hear you say that. I became disillusioned with causal methods for observational data for similar reasons. You can’t often model your way to interesting inferences without an experiment.

I’m sure this is true, but “buying one less f35” to me sounds like shorthand for “don’t spend such a stupid amount on the next boondoggle military project”. I assumed it was a given that money had already been spent.

For all that is broken about US democracy, I'd prefer a unipolar world with the US and EU running things than a multipolar world where the current regimes in China (or Russia) have equal standing.

This doesn't change the fact that — from the perspective of the US — it does't make sense to sell H100s to China

If you don’t hugely care about the quality it’s easier. Movies also want to use the dynamic range for effect but they sometimes rely on people have better home audio systems than they actually do.

If this is true then it will be amazing and very widely adopted. Pandas in Excel would be cool. Fingers crossed.

That really does hand wave away a lot of important details. Those problems on the ground are the reason I am generally not pro nuclear… not because intrinsically I think it’s a bad idea to split atoms.

That’s an odd thing to say. Almost as if you’re in favour of nuclear for nuclear’s sake? Plenty of people have reasonable reservations about use of nuclear, not least the social /political ones of where to store waste that are still mo

Sadly, I think this is true of me — at least of me. I don't think smart people (by this definition) are that common though, so clean code is a sensible default.

Perhaps these are larger volume additives so get better studied. Perhaps a similarly high fraction of all additives would be found harmful if they were more studied, or the studies were easier to run?

They won’t necessarily eat fewer calories though. Not least because they will become accustomed to eating very sweet food. My prediction is that this is likely to worsen the obesity epidemic rather than help it. The solutions to overweight

Apples speech recognition is pretty good, at least for me. I always assumed the delta was because it does it in near real time, which is not possible with whisper.

Not really. Very few people ever go to prison or a censured in this way.

The nature of the jobs change too though. Do you believe jobs will become more or less skilled/autonomous and connect people more or less with their fellow man? Some of us are pessimistic about those questions.

Tbh If pip isn’t found nothing much is going to work. I would fix that first, and although it’s an overhead I would learn about virtual environments too because will save pain fairly quickly.

Salt really does improve the flavour of bread. I’m impressed you have got used to bread without salt because it tastes awful to me unless eaten with salty foods.

Because it tastes sweet which changes your palette to prefer sweeter things generally. Some of these will likely contain sugar. So you’ll eat more sugar than if you drank water.

I’m absolutely sick of this trite argument being wheeled out by non parents. Try having a teenager and (in a practical way) regulating what they can see on the internet. These comments seem to imply that parents watch over their children b

Can you give an example of a mainstream view that is banned? I’m genuinely curious. I wonder if we will have different definitions of mainstream? It seems like a global audience of 5,000 might be mainstream and warrant a home according to s

I’m not sure those places are as different as you say, at least in terms of a baseline for acceptable behaviour that is common to all. Overtly, individualised racist or mysogybist abuse isn’t really acceptable in any of those places, and so

Can I hijack this thread to ask a ‘dumb’ question: If the point of high interest rates is to take money out of the economy, would it not be more effective and fairer to simply raise taxes and pay down debt or avoid taking on more debt in th

UK govt spokespeople have regularly argued that employers and employees, both public and private, should limit wage rises or accept lower rises to avoid inflation. It’s mad, but that’s actually what they say. Ironically, they are most vehem

One time opportunistic and potentially brief access to the phone is different to installing spyware (during that brief access) which reports all activity forever more or allows Mitm on your data.

The embeddings can be based on a different model to the one you pass them as context to. So you could upgrade the summmariser model without upgrading the embeddings.

This post conflates a lot of errors. But specifically, I remember the uk chief medical officer being fairly open that the effect of vaccines was stochastic and would only reduce spread on the average, and this was uncertain. The emphasis at
