If I'm not mistaken, SpaceX is already contracted by NASA to do on orbit refuelling, and one of the recent starships did initial trials of fuel transmission (internal for now). Update: - source article - $58M contract to do that - htt

The math here is quite simple. A single cow can produce around 250 to 500 liters of methane per day through belching and farting. Let's take an average of 400 liters/day. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. 400 liters/day ×

IANAL, but precedents are generally not binding in Europe (Poland at least) - they just serve as an argument. From that perspective it doesn’t matter much if it’s the same or a different country. (may be wrong here)

I think Apple doesn’t communicate it because it makes some of the laptops with „the same” spec better and some worse. I remember that was the case with ssds some time ago - some of the macbooks had a better one, some had a slightly worse on

What? 10 years ago we wouldn’t dream of what’s happening now. Models before 2017-2018 (first gpt/bert) didn’t produce any decent text, and before gpt2/gpt3 (2020) you wouldn’t get an essay-grade text. So you need to go back only 4

I would imagine these tools use exploits in the existing executables to deliver the payload, and then - if I understand correctly, use scripting/interpreted languages (Python) to run the operation. So, even if you’d need admin confirma

I bumped into that issue, and it caused a lot of friction between me and 3 young developers I had to manage. Ideas on how to overcome that?

Gmail was revolutionary at the start, but stopped innovating 10 years ago - why don’t we still have a good search engine within it? MapReduce would be invented anyway (I implemented it from scratch before learning of it’s existence). Chrome

Perhaps if they are super specialised in one narrow niche. The moment they need to write code in a new language/framework/algorirhms/domain, they benefit tremendously from chatgpt. Or even just redacting their documentation e

Kraken would cause no problems for 2.5-2.7 Taxing this is super simple, you just mark as "other" - akin to finding money on the ground. Arguing with bank - which specific bank would cause problems here?

Depends on a chip architecture - etched claims 0.5M tok/s with weights that can be updated. The main constraint is with the model architecture, where it needs to be specific transformer-based model. But they claim the chip can do both

You can get away from that if you constrain it to a specific type of models (say attention based).

The chips are optimised for matmuls, but not for transformer architecture per se. With dedicated ASICS, and weights hardcoded (or stored in SRAM) we could theorically get 1 token per one cycle - so millions/billions of tokens per secon

What? Of course it is accessible. When you ask an LLM to estimate if a given answer was hallucinated, it converts internal probabilities into a token(s) that represent these probabilities. Here you have an output of chatGPT where it estimat

LLMs have no idea if they hallucinate ≠ LLM make no mistakes. The former statement is a bold claim that would require some sort of evidence. The latter nobody really argues with.

This has been disproven by multiple experiments, and also - there is nothing in the transformer architecture that would suggest this. On the contrary - even the most basic classifier neural networks by default produce not a binary answer, b
