Could you refer to a tutorial or a bit more description about what you mean by 'manipulate abstraction over the mathematical concepts', especially when doing higher math? Simple arithmetic, or even computer-algebra simplifications

I have not taken this course. I do feel I have a second brain. I have constructed my own system of keeping my thoughts organized and making progress in better understanding in a cohesive manner. By taking longer to finish grad school and en

Noob question but if you've already bootstrapped your startup, aren't you ahead of the competition and likely to get the funding, instead of the funding going to your competitor. Just trying to understand the context here: your co

Sorry you're right. I remember doing a 1 year program, only the first 7 months were Starting Strength. Remaining 5 months were a weight loss program.

I just want to clarify (for the record) that I didn't mean investor community (which I have not approached yet). I was mainly talking about my friends (most, actually all, of whom are naysayers) and people I interact with online.

That is my current strategy, i.e., to work with the yaysayers. "Why me" would be the least of my worries. My biggest hurdle was getting a Ph.D degree in a highly multidisciplinary field and that's now out of the way.

Source is me. (Of all the naysayers who I've come across in the past many years, if a tenth of them were willing to fund me to work on AGI, by now I'd be well on my way to prove them wrong. But therein lies the rub. Why would they

Best guess: Jim Keller came in with guns blazing about how Moore's law is not dead and if you believe so you're stupid. He was a comp-architecture guy counting on the device/physics folks to deliver. They didn't, while J

With all due respect, I thought Robin Hanson was better than this. I followed him briefly during the 2013-2015 automation hype (which hasm't died yet; far from it), and I found him to be carrying out reasonable analysis of tech economi

Looks like you do have a problem given that you created this thread in the first place. And I have a "suspicion" assigning full copyright to your partner, of the code you wrote, may have something to do with it.

So I guess I should stop doing everything else and adopt a brand new M$ tech that totally blows out of the water what M$ offered a few years ago, which M$ said totally blows out of the water what M$ offered before that. Got it.

This thread is already 8 hours old, but the advice should also be classified by how long the commenter has been using their methods. A person who has a couple years (or less) organizing their files and folders is very different from someone

Bob Martin belongs to the OO-evangelism camp that emerged from the OO fad of mid-1990s. Another OO-evanglist who belongs to this camp is Ron Jeffries. For a textbook example of how much of a snake-oil OO-evangelism is, checkout the sudoku s

No need (edit: except maybe for collaborative editing). Use TeXLive and install the updated copy every year (it has annual releases, and you simply delete the old install directory). If you're not on linux, spin a Ubuntu VM, and instal

Agreed. Take any gosh-darn company on earth that's brought in $1bn in revenue. Now take all of their employees. Each of those employees has a story that could be titled: How I helped xyz with abc that ended up with that company bringin

So looks like it can do "checkbox training" (add an iota of training capability just so you could check the box labelled "it does training"). Got it.

You say it can do training for small models because of the presence of the small (512-core) GPU? (plus maybe some left-over, control calculations by the CPU)

You still need tensor cores for inference. But they don't do weight updates. Learning/training is all about updating the weights (through backpropagation or whatever). So another way to put it: its tensor cores do feed-forward cal

Nope, the use of the words 'edge' and 'inference' in the tag-line pretty much mean there is no learning, no training.

by fizixer 6y ago
Edge means on-premise (on robot) as you said. But 'edge,' as used in context of AI, is also a wink-and-a-nod that the device is inference-only (no learning, no training). The term "inference only" doesn't sound very

Inference only. (So this is competing with Google TPUv1; a few years late and way more expensive, but with more memory)

What I'm asking is not unlike how society works. The law of the land is publicly available and it's a right of every citizen to know the rules that they're expected to abide by. If someone reads all of the law and finds and e
