By this logic, I lost $500B by not getting options on NVIDIA and timing every single successful jump.

Makes perfect sense. Looking forward to trying this.

You're conflating culture war issues with ideology. For most of the world, left and right are economic axes despite the American corporate media's attempts to convince you that the 0.1% of crossdressers are more important than mak

"It’s well-known that all leading LLMs have had issues with bias—specifically, they historically have leaned left when it comes to debated political and social topics. This is due to the types of training data available on the internet

I love H3. Isaac and Uber did a real service to the geospatial community with that one.

Awesome stuff. I've read some of the probabilistic ML work from you guys and am stoked to see a competitive alternative to autoregressive decoders. Best of luck!

That’s an interesting counter example. I agree to an extent, but I also point out that only in semiconductor work is it normal to have factory shifts of technicians who have PhDs.

I've seen the Kalman filter presented from a few different angles and the one that made the most sense to me was the one from a Bayesian methods class that speaks only in terms of marginal and conditional Gaussian distributions and dis

Anecdotally, a prestigious consulting firm (one of McKinsey/Bain/BCG) essentially stopped hiring MBAs and instead hired several friends from my PhD cohort despite the B-School ranking hire than most of our graduate programs. I&#x2

The PhD is has become the de facto replacement for the advanced workforce training programs (apprenticeship, guilds, corporate talent development programs) that many civilizations used to use. For some fields, you really do need to bang you

In the autoregressive decoding framework, the hidden layers' state for computation of token `t` is conditionally independent of all hidden states for `t-1`, `t-2` and so on given the observed tokens. Put differently, the observed token

Identifying scheming in the latent streams would be harder as you would have an extra layer of obfuscation between you and the model’s reasoning.

My opinion is that opaque reasoning is a prerequisite for many of the worst possible AI outcomes. We should make reasoning fully visible in the output space.

There is a wide range of moral and practical opinions between the statement “all weapons are evil” and “global corporations ought not to develop autonomous weapons”.

From an AI risk perspective, one of the most wonderful things about LLMs is that their chain of thought can be entirely read off their outputs by humans with no specific training. This is a risky step backwards, and for apparently little ga

I left geospatial for big tech. It wasn’t because of the pay. It was because my colleagues with GIS and geography backgrounds were infuriatingly mismatched to the data science / ML projects they were tasked with. They also had trouble

That does seem like a much better approach than freezing it, then.

I think it's more like 3-4 orders of magnitude (i.e. 1000 or 10000 of these sites), but yes, it would take quite a few to completely offset CO2 emissions.

Any idea is enlivened by the possibility of criticality and runaway thermal energy production as the melting hay produces heat, thus melting more hay and so on.
