I have actually become less convinced after learning Buffett his eating habits. He and Munger couldn’t have eaten much worse than they did and exercised less. Still they are both alive in their 90s. What are the chances of that? Also, I’ve

You are downvoted but I agree with you. HN was pretty convinced about that and, as it turns out, wrong. (Or, maybe partially wrong because OpenAI probably wants more regulation that helps them and less regulation that hinders them.)

Maybe the easiest and strongest counterargument against this paper is that a 97% accuracy is extremely unlikely because 97% is a near perfect score even though hit songs are distributed according to a power law [1]. If we could predict this

Yes but also the rest of the stack. You can find performance gains everywhere. For example, chiplets, networking, and compilers. This is what Nvidia is doing.

Oh sorry I didn’t look properly then. I thought it outperformed GPT-3.5 consistently. My bad. Thanks for the correction.

I think the main problem is that the incentives are wrong. Academics are mostly evaluated on the number of papers they publish in peer-reviewed journals and the number of citations they obtain. Therefore, the main incentive for academics is

According to Ilya Sutskever in a podcast that I heard, GPUs are already pretty close to ASIC performance for AI workloads. Nvidia can highly optimize the full stack due to their economies of scale.

It sounds to me like the GH200 achieves more FLOPS per transistor. So, compute demand will be quicker satisfied via the GH200 than via "smaller" chips such as the H100. Having said that, I don’t think we’re anywhere near some kind

Although there are probably some poor CEOs, it seems to be that most CEOs occupy a power law in their domain. Although you might not agree with their methods, you have to agree that people such as Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk,

I disagree since GPUs are a major constraint currently and that skilled specialists outperform GPT-4 almost always as long as they stay in their domain. Will they use copilot(s) to improve the models? Yes, but they have been doing that sinc

Instead of fighting against "paper mills", let’s fight against journals. There are strong arguments against the need for peer-review for example [1]. Science does not get worse when there are more bad papers, science gets better w
