2/3 of world's population won't have any issue converting currency to yuan if BRICS decide to use it for mutual commerce (though I doubt a WW3 won't happen before this happens).

Very few vegans know about it, even fewer supplement it.

A temporary consulting gig is better than a bad job offer. It also doesn't stain your CV (Consultant doing something for a client vs Working at this horrible place) even if it's the same client.

Haha, this is so true. It literally happened to me once when I threw a large party at my place and one lady set it in her calendar as "gourmet food" and tried to bring her friends as well.

This has always been present in subfields of AI. For example, in classical computer vision, one had to figure out specific parameters working just for a single image or video scene by hand. Machine learning can in theory at least make these

Yes, those adapters. There are many types now, most recently LLaMA adapter: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.16199

My research shows otherwise. Tuning via transformer adapters pretty much added new knowledge to QA models or could be used for adversarial QA training. You can throw away learned adapters anytime and retrain from scratch with new informatio

Oat milk would likely contain pesticides and other chemical residues. There is no hiding from bad chemicals but one can choose food that contains support for their removal. I'd be concerned about pure vegan diet for its lack of certain

Mammal milk contains lactoferrin, a very powerful anti-viral/bacterial/fungal molecule that helps fighting invaders in your gut. Lactose-free milk would still work to avoid age-related digestion issues. By skipping it you are like

Oat milk has no lactoferrin, a powerful anti-viral/bacterial/fungal compound in milk, so you are going to eliminate a significant immunity boost.

...and I was forced to switch to a carnivore diet for elimination purposes as some veggies were wreaking havoc on my body. Not sure getting healthier will be even an option in a few years.

What would be the benefit of these old clones beside learning to create hardware? RPi4 can probably replace them all with emulators. I'd rather see old games resurrected by improving graphics through stable diffusion and increasing ref

How about the explosion at around T+30? Is that success?

Why is achieving parity with a 60s/70s Soviet tech so admiration-worthy? What am I missing?

It almost blew up on the launchpad (see the debris flying after a few seconds), then at around 30 seconds you can see some explosion at the bottom, throwing away some surface parts. Multiple failed engines. Then it went into an unsurvivable

How does this work with consultants/contractors? Are they still booked under R&D expenses?

Can you solve arbitrary traveling salesman problem with that? There is only a polynomial number of required laser cuts (n nodes, n * (n-1) edges) and the source can be next to sink with a fake 0 edge between them.

Transformers were known that they kept scaling up with more parameters and more training data so if the Open AI hit the limits of this scaling that would be a very important milestone in AI.

No, the AI can only replicate what some other human figured out before and wrote down. Right now LLMs aren't really creative problem solvers. Therefore he needs a bunch of idealistic/stupid/unaware devs to keep sharing novel

So he wants unpaid volunteers to do all the work to provide training data for some AI? What an MBAesque idea!

Don't forget the 0% tax lowering the probability of bankruptcy significantly while living expenses are on par to a regular German city... Most of those expats you mentioned simply wanted to live above their means.

That's why one should just move to Dubai and escape Germany and its crazy taxes and health insurance costs.

I bet the distribution would end up like income inequality in Brazil - 0.1% will be magicians, 99.9% will live short brutish lives trying to outcheat each other for survival.
