Sure, doing surgery on the weights is not feasible, but doing surgery on the training data is possible (and is done for certain benchmarks). That's where it gets interesting. If you tell the LLM what the bad data is, it could examine i

Cloud is an abstraction over hardware. lLike any good abstraction, it makes certain tradeoffs. Sometimes it makes sense to move to a lower level of abstraction, for performance, cost, or compatibility reasons. In this case, diving under the

Agree. The website is not usable with one thumb on mobile. Maybe language models will bring back the concept of a “user agent”. One could imagine feeding a GPT the source for this page and receiving mobile-friendly source as output. I’m loo

What value proposition does crypto offer that existing solutions do not? The only reasonable answer crypto advocates can ever offer is “decentralization” and the lack of trust required. The problem is, most people are perfectly fine trustin

Computers are going to increase in size as they consume more and more power, requiring increasingly elaborate cooling systems. Like how the transistor made the big and hot vacuum tubes obsolete, maybe we’ll see some analog breakthrough do t

Conservatives would recommend against a non-STEM degree (or any degree which is unlikely to have a positive ROI). The rate of single parenthood has drastically increased over the decades, which undoubtedly has impacted grade school success

is that an issue of the language or of the team? adding additional names does not add additional complexity. complexity arises in interactions between components.

Via bulk transport which allows for amortization across the prices of many items. This will not significantly increase the cost of goods. In fact, by reducing congestion, it might actually decrease shipping and other bulk transportation cos

They’re noisy, dangerous, and lack climate controls. (It does seem like they’d improve traffic throughput though)

I don’t necessarily doubt you, but do you have any source for this, or in general any information on the landscape of data brokers? It’s hard to imagine what the situation actually looks like behind the scenes.

Isn’t there just something romantic about a cigarette? Sure, they make you smell worse a dirty vacuum cleaner, and they’ll probably kill you, but think of the aesthetic!

There are many high caliber engineers who just do it for the paycheck. I’m not one of them, but given the crazy compensation, it’s no surprise the field attracts outsiders.

“Apple controls 100% of the iOS market” as an argument sounds like satire lol. What point does this make? Is the implication that Apple should allow iOS on non-Apple devices? There is not a single hardware company in the world that would in

I just laugh and roll my eyes when people claim that AI produces very little value. Chat AI is a useful product with many individual users who pay because they get value from it. Maybe it can’t autonomously execute business processes, yet,

I’m less interested in GPT’s suggestions, which are generic and well-known, and more interested in the author’s own list of podcasts. It looks like a lot of coding content? What do they talk about in podcasts like these? I can’t imagine tak

Beautiful imagery in this article! It doesn’t reveal anything the world didn’t already know, though. There is lead, but it is within the sealed inner chamber of the cup. It isn’t accessible to drinkers. Still, doesn’t seem wise to use lead

You described v1. Just wait for v2. You can’t possibly think these things will remain clowns forever. These things aren’t “Markov chains” - the architecture is significantly more scalable, which is exactly why this time is different.

Does it require light to work? What about space? Could you e.g. work in a dark closet, as an extreme example? Do those semi-realistic virtual avatars work for non-FaceTime apps like Zoom?

It’s a good question that seems to hit the same chord as the death penalty argument. I don’t hold this view, but I think the answer is: the goal is punishment, not deterrence, nor rehabilitation. People want “justice” which, in their view,
