I suppose it's a bimodal distribution: very high effort and very low effort will both have near-perfect grammar, albeit for different reasons. Since the low effort applications dominate in volume, the discriminator learns perfect gramm

I can personally recommend deepinfra. Been using it the past few days and it's served me very well.

BERT is ~100m parameters. GPT3.5 is 1000x bigger. A Bert sized decoder model would likely generate nonsense For most applications BERTs output is used to fine tune additional NN layers, eg for text classification

Because DL is 90% Matrix multiplication?

by extasia 3y ago
Research code has different values. If you throw away 90% of the code you used after a week you'd code differently too! The tricky part is that 10% of your code will become the basis of your thesis / postdoc;)

Drop some commitments. If you're pursuing a PhD there's no reason to have a job and side hustles, focus on your research, a PhD isn't something to half ass. Drop one of the other two. That's my 2c!

Of course knowledge was persisted in written form, but it was not industrialised. I would imagine progress is dominated by a small number of individuals, if information is dispersed across society broadly, your chances of those capable indi

Well for one there was no printing press via which to persist knowledge and translate it cheaply through time and space. Imagine what an individual could achieve technologically today, if they were unable to access any materials or knowledg

You're describing commercial tech companies in a capitalist economy. If you were familiar with other industries I'm sure you'd see similar themes, it's just you're exposed to techs evils by your proximity to the fie

40USD seems a little steep. How much do these things cost to produce?

What's your expected usage, volume wise?

The cognitive dissonance is dripping off of these sorts of articles. I used to read 500+ Guardian articles per year but they're basically ragebait at this point unfortunately..

Thanks, yeah! Empathy is wonderful:) Might be a regional thing but "my friend" sounds very condescending / patronising to me! I'd personally feel quite upset if somebody began a critique of my behaviour with that. I gues

I agree with your last point. How do we fix this problem though?
