China have a "Made-in-China" plan, one of its goal is good old control of means of production. Is there something like that in the US?

In my opinion the difference that Hinton students made was using GPUs to run deep learning models. First in 2010, when publishing Theano at NIPS, making deep learning on a single computer node with a large GPUs very approachable ( using a

I agree. There is no reason ML tech should perform worse than traditional software, allowing privacy as per GDPR and CA regulations, at the very least. The input datasets should be managed as per GDPR/CA regulations, with clear flags

The Copilot or Google Collab are interesting as they allow to create wast datasets of developer's work sessions, incrementally, line-by-line editing and improving code. Exploiting such datasets have interesting potential. And currently

Anyone is interested in starting to work on an open source alternative? I have a few terabytes of GitHub repository archives, a bit of experience and an non-profit umbrella (goal is AI Safety).

There is plenty of opportunity in being more efficient. To give an example, houses in the Bay Area has gray/black roofs. In the summer such roof receives about 10kW of energy and readily converts it into heat. Heat, which we are try

I'm not sure about the obsession to go to Mars. What is the rational behind it? The next right step in technology (that would allow real progress in space exploration while having good environmental impact) is fusion energy. Developi

It's funny, for a few years I've worked in high frequency trading. And when cutting away nanoseconds from our latency figures, our hardware was getting closer and closer to a "mirror-laser network that could receive and outp

It is very likely that "subjective experience", "sentience" and "consciousness" can be explained with known laws of physics. And simulated. It is possible that the DNN, in order to fit the statistics of the t

The right question to ask is how many rear-end collisions does it produce and how many accidents it prevents. If it infrequently phantom brakes (especially when there is no vehicle behind - an AV can sense that), that doesn't cause any

Hi. I've tried creating the same service, about 5 years back ;) articoder.com ;) Was digging at it for a few months. But natural language processing of the time was not up to the task... Good to know that now it is doable in a wee

There is Palm. It looks a bit like the first iPhone, but the size of a credit card. https://palm.com/pages/product Regretfully, it filled with a lot of carrier spyware (originally Verizon) that eats the battery in the

$2.7 billion per day on military, $0.3 billion per day on hydrocarbons from Russia (to release these as CO2 into the atmosphere). Sounds like wasting $3.0 billion per day.

I don't think it was caused by bad intent. But a combination of VC money, pressure to execute and not having awareness of local business code and practices is a sure recipe for violations. It was not an isolated violation. The compa

I've encountered H1-B fraud once, in an unscrupulous YC startup once, regretfully. After getting their way to YC, the founders hired two fresh H1s from India, with no internal advertisement [that's not legal]. That resulted in a

Yes, but also he seem to be doing the right thing, so far. Unlike many others, who tend to waste resources on building yachts and bunkers.

A local GPS-disciplined NTP server, distributing time over 1GbE or 10GbE goes a long way. I can't think of any application, besides HFT and maybe some science experiments that need better precision. And even in HFT, it is silly to try

Why not just synchronize to GPS time? It is pretty straightforward to get hardware timestamp on the 1PPS from the GPS. And then your time is as precise as the GPS clock, which can have a rubidium standard.

It is better than this: > For RP2040 Doom, whilst I thought I might need to build my own single pin PIO networking with some sort of token passing, it turned out I had 2 GPIO pins free that could be configured for I2C, so I decided to ju

Putting a price of $6.5 for a gallon of gas (this is how much gas in Europe normally costs €1.58/liter = $6.5/gallon) is a right thing to do. Hopefully this would diminish consumption, reduce carbon footprint and wouldn't req

It is a good time in the US to stop subsidizing car economy. And let the price of gas increase. At least to the same level as in Europe. It is heart-breaking to hear that we exclude energy from the embargo fighting to keep the gas prices

This might be what the current dictator in that country wants - reduce the dependency on the imported components. And increase the percentage of state ownership of the natural resources.

You may look at the data of how much protection masks add between the ages of 5 to 11 and 2 to 5. And how much other mitigations measures add (ventilation, cohorting, etc). You'll find that high quality masks for teachers reduce spre

An alternative could be Jetson AGX Orin - 2048 Cores @ 1000MHz.

This can be somewhat resolved, if the engineers working on the model are required to do 1% of labeling.

What I really dislike is that not only Google sends its mapping cars into the private-drive-no-trespassing, but they've also somehow managed to map gated-no-tresspassing pedestrian walkway. And now we have people literally walking in

CO₂ could be candidate. Perhaps the effect will be even at a grander scale than leaded gas.

I think, a few more bets in the projects like - https://arpa-e.energy.gov/technologies/projects/next-generat... - may have a chance of yielding solutions. But it is not going to happen by itself. And orbital infr

The difference between chemical/fission and fusion are orders of magnitude. It is <10km/s for chemical/fission. And 1000km/s for fusion: "Today’s best chemical rockets produce propellant exhaust velocities up t

Using these resources to improve chemical flamethrowers is sub-optimal. A dead end. Nuclear fusion is a more likely answer to spaceflight and Earth's clean energy problem. It likely should be the priority.
