This is definitely the right problem to focus on. I think the answer is a different LLM structure that has unlimited context. The transformer with causal masks for training block got us here but they are now limiting us in many massive ways

Decisions like this may shoot them in the foot later as opensource and cheaper compute continues to push into frontier model territory. I know I have no loyalty to the big providers and would take a minor quality/cost hit to jump off.

I agree with the need for proxies, but if they are used then there needs to be strong evidence that they are valid and studies should report both the proxy results and the implied quality/quantity of life results based on the proxy res

I like this article, but it, like a lot of things in medicine, seems to focus on the wrong question. It isn't about disease x, it is about quantity and quality of life. I thought the part about Geographic atrophy drugs really emphasize

The bigger point here is that this is a generational loss of trust. Even if there is some overwhelming political change that pushes Trump and the GOP out by a massive margin, the trust that this won't happen again is gone. Nobody belie

I think a lot of this is because the ui isn't right yet. The edits made are just not the right 'size' yet and the sandbox mechanisms haven't quite hit the right level of polish. I want something more akin to a PR to rev

The only real question here is why hasn't competition driven this 'discount' away? In a perfect market it shouldn't be possible for this to exist, right? I am not a fan of airlines because, among other reasons, it often

This is a pretty loaded response but I'll attempt to answer. First, it doesn't and it was never implied that generically it does. The connection I was making was that LLMs are doing more human like tasks and will likely need acces

I don't know that this is a sustainable approach. As LLMs become more capable and are able to do the functions that a real human employee is doing they will need similar access that a normal human employee would have. Clearly not all e

This isn't my field, but I can imagine it is hard to optimize for learning only since the reward signal is clearly user engagement (meaning subscription revenue). Finding a reward signal that does both, help people learn -and- make mon

Information warfare is still warfare. Now that we are in the age of information, and disinformation, maybe it is time that countries, and populations, start taking information warfare more seriously. If there really is an entity bankrolling

This is a great site. Thanks for making it! I wish governments would take this kind of thing seriously though. Identity theft/stealing accounts/etc etc all starts with breaches like this and in the modern world it is often less de

I think a better title is 'The world is not static'. I often point this out for gradient descent. We always think of the static world when envisioning gradient descent but the reality is the world is constantly changing and can of

From what I have seen trying to build out new features into this area, EHR vendors often act like monopolies blocking a lot of competition by controlling any data exchange. The vendor lock-in is strong and very harmful to improving process

If there is one thing that NN can do amazingly well it is pattern recognition. The biggest blockers to adoption are the EHR providers, regulations and just inertia. It will happen, the only question is when and to a small degree, how.

This looks like it is in the 'nobody realized there is a competition' list of records broken. For a 3x3 it is 103 milliseconds, or at least was last year[1]. [1] https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECE/News/20

The goal isn't optimized code, it is utility/value prop. The question then is how do we get the best utility/value given the resources we have. This question often leads to people believing optimization is the right path sinc

This is trickle down economics for healthcare. It is stupid. No, it is worse than that, it is evil.

Kind of the point of breaking up a monopoly is that it benefits a lot of the rest of the industry since the monopoly had been hindering it before. Also, it looks like you are saying any interest = a conflict of interest. Should only entitie

Use it or loose it. Voter fraud has never been an issue, it has been voter disenfranchisement that has been the biggest problem. It is very likely that elections going forward will see that trend rise dramatically all while keeping people,
