I think it's circular, chicken and the egg. Especially if they were traumatized by their parents who themselves suffer undiagnosed auto-immune conditions. People without the auto-immune conditions can go through much more traumatizing

I know I sound crazy saying what I'm about to say but it is the truth as I understand it and I think it's important. It appears to me that there is a certain modality of thought that occurs much more often in people with hEDS, spe

If ADHD is genetic, which I believe it is, then the odds are the parents have their own problems as well - and these problems can manifest in a wide variety of dysfunctions. My parents are awful people but having lived through ADHD and chro

I know that but there is the law and then there is the law in practice. Legal council at companies have been telling them that DEI race quotas was the safe option.

Only if the system was optimal to begin with - and it was very far from optimal so there is plenty of room to improve without so unknown hidden cost. Which is not so say that there is no unknown hidden cost - just that there doesn’t have to

DEI is a way to avoid disparate impact liability. Such laws / precedent is derived from the Civil Rights Act (VII). So it is quite the opposite. It also means that disparate impact liability will return without DEI / race quotas s

The software is free, and few people even think about the hardware cost. But that’s not how it always was, it was a core part of Bill Gates world domination plan during the ‘foundation’ era (2008). Good ones used to be super expensive, then

To my point, how much do you think a SMT solution costs now?
882.
by cjbgkagh 2y ago
Not all, and many smart humans are prevented from doing what they want to do for all sorts of reasons. One reason being others feel threatened by them, but those same people will feel threatened by AI, probably more so.

Hence my very first point; the dose makes the poison. Yeah, it would be super impressive, perhaps another point SMT solvers algorithms have improved faster than the hardware for a very long time and are incredibly useful. But we are not spe

Did they not already have an incentive to use all available compute? Let’s assume you were buying the GPUs, how would you plan on paying for it? What’s the business case?

by cjbgkagh 2y ago
Do you have a use case for your opinion? On the assumption that we’d want super intelligence to do interesting things, consider that we currently have many very smart humans and society is not maximizing their use, quite the opposite.

The dose makes the poison, what if a new method was 1,000,000x more efficient would there still be more total money spent on GPUs because of it. What if efficiency brought it down such that inference on CPUs that people already have is good

I'm pretty sure a LLM can be taught to press a button

Who would the new applications be for? I figure that it’ll be far easier to build apps for use by LLMs than building apps for people to use. I don’t think there will be this large increase of induced demand, the whole world just got a lot m

Of course optimizing for the best models would result in a mix of GPU spend and ML researchers experimenting with efficiency. And it may not make any sense to spend money on researching efficiency since, as has happened, these are often sha

I've always been leery about outrageous GPU investments, at some point I'll dig through and find my prior comments where I've said as much to that effect. The CEOs, upper management, and governments derive their importance on

Huh, I do not. I guess most of the people I know in this space I knew prior to 2015 and the field was not as widely popular back then.

Of all the ML/AI researchers I know (20+), none of them are football fans. I suppose it could happen but I have not seen it.

I think the main problem is lawsuits. Say that someone is too junior or unqualified and you may end up in a lawsuit having to prove it - especially if they’re in a protected class of some sort. I live in a place where I don’t have to worry

I'm honestly rather envious. I guess my 'sour grape' is that the lack of funds and opportunity for me to do this is what lead me to go into software and then on into Machine Learning which I do think turned out for the best.

'preponderance' is the clue, criminal is 'beyond all reasonable doubt', civil is preponderance. Ross was being charged under criminal law.

Startups have been on average a shit deal for a long time. I liken it to writing a book - best not to do it unless there is a book inside of you and you'll die if you don't get it out. I worked in Big Tech before doing consulting

Maybe, but people are generally like that. When they’re in the same situations they do the same things. I think few people are honest with themselves, or even know themselves what they would be like if situations were reversed.

Rent, taxes and industrial regulation plays a big part. As does power costs. Then there is political costs, it’s hard to rely on UK politicians not doing foolish things and tanking your company on a whim.

It was always going to be a trap, but it’s been so long in the making that those who started the UK on that path have long since retired wealthy.
