OK, if the part of the acquisition agreement with government is "QE if needed", then it makes sense to acquire CS to continue kicking the can forward.

Nothing? More like overleveraged $1T that can explode anytime? UBS should have been paid instead to take the CS corpse.

If you want to get paid $40/h then there are many jobs in Germany. If you want to get paid $150/h, there are almost none.

You might be super overqualified and your skillset be perceived as threatening to your bosses (imagine top schools/companies in the past and applying to some regular dev role). Or the hiring focuses on finding a unicorn 100% fitting cu

I couldn't get that one working with my controllers in VR (HP Reverb G2). I could see the initial screen and being seated in a cockpit, but nothing responded to anything I was doing.

MS Flight Simulator 2020 or Automobilista 2 are absolutely awesome VR games that can be controlled by keyboard only in real time and there is vorpX allowing older games to be played in VR. Surely, Alyx is slow, Hellblade has restricted move

Wow, FL Studio is written in Delphi? The UI feels like from some futuristic alien spaceship!

In Electron apps you still have the boundary between frontend and backend, that means it's in its core a distributed app. If you don't like GUI builder, that's a fair opinion, but I do and don't want to waste my time on

It's not about styling, it was about how quickly one could develop a complete app by just following a few simple examples in docs. VCL + IDE literally guided you with very few things to learn. So a person uninterested in building UI bu

JavaScript is popular because people like half-baked hacky things that give them instant rush/feeling they can do something (i.e. show something basic in a browser). So much effort was spent on painting a lipstick on this pig or to rep

I was specifically mentioning building UI, i.e. the process of creating a set of screens with events to carry out the required functionality, which was what Delphi shined in. Web tech is about building distributed apps, so while you might r

Simplicity, great documentation, IDE that guided you, WYSIWIG, easily multi-threaded when needed. Delphi/C++ Builder is a business failure, not a technological one. No ugly hacks for things like CORS/XSS needed. Electron is basica

Delphi designed in the 90s is still far superior to any web technology for building UI - you can make a complete standalone app in a few hours instead of weeks. IMO JavaScript was pushed by some large corps in order to commoditize developer

Nothing outside some large book publisher trying to make me write a book so that they have a larger pool of authors to discard (they ask 5 people to write a book on some topic, pay like 5k upfront and select one in the end, wasting time of

Imagine the disconnect as nobody in the company will know what is going on when everything is auto-generated and people are only reading summaries.

The course lectures/materials aren't online nor public. However, there is a top 10 CS school with online lectures that touch the same points: https://omscs.gatech.edu/cs-8803-o10-special-topics-ai-ethic...

I studied AI ethics (a recent grad course) and it was all about manipulating data to get the desired outcome. I am not sure how that can be even philosophically fair. It wasn't about re-weighting samples to make overlooked rare example

It's not, it uses locality-sensitive hashing to reduce attention complexity from O(n^2) to O(nlogn) while maintaining the same performance in 16GB as a best model that could fit into 100GB but nobody scaled it up to 1000 GPUs as its pu

I am surprised they allow only 32k tokens when Reformer can have context length of 1M on 16GB VRAM. It seems like they have some ways to optimize it further.

I think they had something similar; compare Windows/Office vocabulary to Unix vocabulary and you can see which one is more polished/curated and which one is weird/rough.

There aren't any good automated metrics for generative LLM quality, so it's all up to humans to evaluate.

Fine-tuning is both easy and cheap using transformer adapters, e.g. any Huggingface model.

You are missing the point. Extremely large LLMs don't train the same way as your BERT_Large x8 variety of LLMs. Your whole training procedure is different. Also Microsoft spent so much initially because their Azure Cloud was unable to

There seems to be a big difference between efficiently training a "large-ish" model on 4-8 GPUs and a gigantic model on 1000+ GPUs. The same techniques might not work due to different warm up steps, gradient overlaps etc. All you

Can you post a link on how to train a gigantic LLM on consumer hardware with all detailed steps please? EDIT: You seem to have deleted your response but I am posting my reply anyway: Microsoft has mentioned today that it cost them many hund

Life is the best teacher to cure arrogance. Once it happens to somebody you are close to or even to yourself, then you might change your mind. I hope you won't do too much damage by then.

Not yet, data collection takes time. On that link above there are stories of people who got long covid on their 3rd or 4th infection. If that could happen with repeated infections, would that lead to mass disability over time (e.g. 25% work
