Do they have a separate version they release through the amazon app store for android?

Agreed, I think if they were to drop the real-time constraint for the sake of the robotics tasks, they could train a huge model with the lessons from PaLM and Chincilla and probably slam dunk the weakly general AI benchmark.

> Its easier to see the flaws in this one because its more general, so spread out more thinly. I really think this is due to the very limited number of parameters in GATO: 1.2B vs. 175B for GPT-3. They intentionally restricted the model

Sure, but any new format is going to have the same problems. I think you're right that implementation complexity needs to be considered, but it's not like Word or Excel files or something where you need to replicate bug for bug a

Yeah, he mentioned it quickly, but kind of dismisses it for bad reasons imo.

There is a decent file format for tabular data, and the author dismisses it: parquet. It's compact, encodes all the common data types well, does int/float distinction (thanks for teaching us about how important that is json), stor

Do people really edit csvs in a text editor? It's horrific, the columns don't line up at all, empty cells are represented by a bunch of commas in a row (which, are you supposed to count all the commas?) And in terms of versioning,

It is important context, but just to push back against people over-correcting on this, my guess is that the ones he rejected also looked approximately this good. I think the primary reason people are wowed by this thread isn't attribut

So many gotchas like this in dockerfiles. I think the issue stems from it being such a leaky abstraction. To use it correctly you need to know how docker works internally inside and out, as well as Linux inside and out. The default choices

Probably depends on the language being used. Rust, Golang and Elixir make threads simple and easy to use so they're used all the time.

I think we're talking about different levels of understanding. For things like convex optimization, we have optimality results. For deep learning we have "try to stop training early because it tends to get overfit if you run it to

Sure, but it's finite, reasonably circumscribed, and honestly not that mathy. I mean, even the example given by the OP about the tanks is super well known (apocryphal[0]) and doesn't require math knowledge to avoid. You just have

This goes a little too far. For traditional ML, sure, you need lots of deep statistical knowledge. But the fact is that deep learning is different: it's mostly a black box. no one understands exactly what they're doing, how they

I like that this is not "a dvcs written in rust" but rather "a dvcs with these awesome improvements over git." which incidentally happens to be written in rust because of course it's the right language for this.

I think it's actually a big leap from "I never read notes again" to "I shouldn't write notes at all". Writing things down causes you to think more clearly about something, and aids in memory by itself.

Scam is the wrong way to look at it. Basically, it's like airlines charging you fees for overhead baggage. If you can get into a big tech company without back-weighted vesting, of course you're going to take that. The difference i

Nice job to the developer, this is probably the perfect time to sell. Honestly, I could imagine the price dropping by half in a few weeks as the fad dies down. Let NYT figure out how to monetize a simple easily copied game like this. I don&

This is sorely needed. Goes without saying that it's a ton of work because Typescript is really complicated, but if he pulls it off, or gets enough momentum to pull in people who can help pull it off, a lot of people would be really ha

Good points, this makes a lot of sense. I have been doing cloud stuff so long I forgot many companies are leery of it (some justifiably, some not, but as a developer you have to work with the constraints)

Ah, ok I didn't realize you could use it as a wrapper around S3. That makes a lot of sense

I am curious why people use Minio over S3/B2/R2/GCS. It seems like the hard part is not really the api of a key value store like this, but the reliability. S3 is so cheap (and I assume its competitors are even cheaper), it se
