For me, I read the introduction and how they discuss how impressive DALL-E 2 is, and then they show very simple mistakes it makes and I want to be protective of DALL-E 2. I want to say "you did a good job!" That the paper provides

The training set is a one time computation though, running the model still costs cycles and people have to pay for it (see sites like Hugging Face or GooseAI). What people are asking about is the code itself and the one time computed traini

That was their fear with GPT-3 because it would enable whole "fake news" articles to be written without much effort. At this point why should they release trained models? AI developers have a problem now, either show their work (l

That paper unfairly jabs at "Schwinger's numerology" because he chose the fine-structure constant in the equation (probably a guess, because he never published the theory behind it). It turns out the magnetic moment of the el

Unfortunately as far as I can find there is no optimized encoder or decoder for JXL yet. Everything uses the spec encoder, which works fine on modern hardware, but for an example on my 20 year old laptop it takes several seconds to decode a

For sure. But warnings don't solve complacency. You summon your Tesla to the front of Whole Foods successfully for months, go to the airport and expect the same thing. They think "oh these warnings are them just covering their but

Nope, and you'll still need a pretty beefy computer to run the trained data. Currently GPT-NeoX-20B, the "open source GPT3," requires 42 GB of VRAM, so you're looking at minimum a $5-6k graphics card (though a Quadro RTX

It has all of the SSU and cumulative updates since 21H1. But anyway I doubt they put anything in there, should be easy enough to look at the scripts on the ISO or just patch it yourself. The ISO is just an 'easy' way to distribute

I looked over the second option and it's a pretty extensive patching process. The 2-3 hours they give for it is generous. Also it appears that they do do windows update manually, so it's still a fully up to date Windows 10 install

The thing is, I really think you could train a folding robot if you had the dataset to do it, just hire a few hundred clothes folding people who work for a large industrial laundry to wear eye tracker things and full body movement trackers.

What do you think of the third to last image of the Girl With A Pearl Earring that DALL-E 2 created? I find it more compelling than the original with how her face is deeply cast in shadow. There's still that original 'essence'
