All the quoted talk show hosts you mentioned are terrible. Unfunny, pandering, nonsense that aims for clapter[0] instead of comedy. [0] https://www.vulture.com/2018/01/the-rise-of-clapter-comedy.h...

Every public company, once they get to a certain size and scope, end up "financializing" some or all parts of their business to keep chasing those quarterly profits and never-ending growth. It's just a lot easier to generate

How about open drug use? Or open defecation and other antisocial behaviours that have been plaguing certain cities?

Don't they mean "illegal immigrants"? When did "migrant" come into the lexicon to distort the discussion?

I've seen some repos on Github host the models on "Releases". Not sure how viable that is long term, but definitely easier to download and access than some random Google Drive link which is typical for a lot of other repos.

That's exactly my point. In high-trust, homogenous societies, you don't necessarily need harsh laws to enforce social norms and "civilised" behaviour. In more heterogenous societies, you have low-trust so you need tough

Japan is highly homogenous - their immigration policy would be decried by many liberals in the West as "racist". It is a massive factor in how their society is run, and why they are so high-trust that they don't need strong e

What a lovely written article, and a nice throwback to that time of the "earlier" internet. I also enjoyed the photo of the author in the motel hunched over his laptop; certainly rings a few bells for myself (and perhaps others he

Zuck is a total killer. What better way to fight Google and Microsoft than to effectively spawn thousands of potential competitors to their AI businesses with this (and other) releases. There will be a mad scramble over the released weights

Pretty incredible. We really take for granted the modern connectivity and access of goods and people compared to what human beings had to do for most of history. Tangentially related: Clive Cussler[0] books are good fun if you're looki

Yes Python is incredibly annoying to use. Their dependency management is a total mess, and it's incredible how brittle packages if there are even minor point changes in versions anywhere in a stack.

Thanks (to both you and the parent) for sharing these details. So is it fair to say the following: 1. Fine-tuning bakes the knowledge into the model, but getting the "source" of an answer to a specific question becomes cagey and i
