Trump is for whoever brown noses the most. He has no independent preferences. Big tech gave him millions, now he's for big tech, but only the ones who donated. Most of them figured out that Trump is for sale to every bidder and got in

Doge couldn't even secure their "transparency tweets" website when it went up. I get the impression they don't have the organization to confirm anything in writing.

I'm wondering how someone knows the size of the field of evolutionary psychology and what it should be instead of what it is so well that they feel no evidence is necessary. Are you in the field yourself? Or do you have questions about

Deeming things as waste within days of gaining access to the info is 100% in bad faith. There is no possible way that musk and his minions took the time to find out why anything is the way it is. Nevermind the fact that you don't have

Yeah, don't be so hard on Musk and Trump. They're destroying oversight agency by agency, not all at once. Starting with the agency in charge of HR oversight.

Yeah, you can build a rig to run full models for 10-20k... That's a big reason OpenAI might not make it. The whole article is about LLMs not being a viable business.

Subjective evaluation of "humanity" and "empathy" in responses is much less important than clinical outcome. I don't think an online chat with a nebulous entity will ever be as beneficial as interactions that can,

I bet Google is utilizing the value of the LLM input prompts with close to the same efficiency they are monetizing search. I that case, there are two questions -- 1) will LLM overtake search? and 2) can anyone beat Google at monetizing thes

That would be a killer for the current and near future generations of LLM as a business. If they are having to pay many times in compute what they are able to get for the API use (due to open models being near comparable?), then you definit

Not sure if it matters at this point. There will need to be many more rounds of CapEx to realize the promises that have been put forth about these models.

Congrats on the rapid MVP! Is it launched / publicly available? I'm in the same boat with modern front ends. Would like to see what the current LLMs can help with.

Someone who does not know that MRI has variable field strength is someone who truly does not know the basics of MRI. Maybe this source will clue you in as to why your understanding of MRI is fundamentally flawed: https://pmc.ncbi

Oh good, they noticed the effect too. It's almost as if many people experience the effect, but somehow to you it's impossible for any humans to be able to take advantage of the effect at lower field strengths. When you walk up to

Let me break it down for you. In electromagnetic fields both an electric field and a magnetic field are produced. They are orthogonal to one another (in 2D with 2 vectors this is perpendicular, orthogonal is when the vector is in a differen

This makes sense to me. When I optimize, the most significant gains I find are algorithmic. Whether it's an extra call, a data structure that needs to be tweaked, or just utilizing a library that operates closer to silicon. I rarely

It's definitely both. A bunch of 20 year olds were let loose to be "super efficient." So, to be efficient they use LLMs to implement what should be a major government oversight webpage. Even after the fix the list is a few

Same place every LLM gets "information" -- plucking random bits from the latent space that are most likely to follow the input context.
