What is missing from the picture with all these articles is the numbers. LLMs already have a few solid use cases as translators, general document processors, coding helpers ...etc. So the first question is, to what extent does this demand s

If AI replaces workers, we wouldn't have an economy. It would probably be the end of capitalism. Or at least the end of the consumerism driven capitalism that we have known since the end of WWII. I don't know what would follow but

Of course we do. And for exactly the same reasons, too.

There are probably some very high quality mailing lists or discord servers out there, but I wouldn't know where to find them.

Training on-demand, using spare GPU capacity is an interesting concept.

Car ownership is pretty expensive. But holistically speaking it's not more expensive than the Deutschland Ticket, because it gives you access to cheaper housing options that you wouldn't be able to live in if you depended solely o

Interesting. Thanks for you input. I already tried to adhere to the JAX paradigm as laid out in the documentation so I already have a fully static graph.

I recently tried to port my model to JAX. Got it all working the "JAX WAY", and I believe I did everything correct, with one neat top level .jit() applied to the training step. Unfortunately I could not replicate the performance b

Hypothetically speaking, if the average Chinese person was as wealthy as the average American, how would that affect the world economy and geopolitics? What is America so afraid of?

Lots of bigger companies like Zeiss or Bosch have many locations and depending on your team you might or might not end up in a really terrible location. > would that mean life in such a town is worse than in a comparable small town somew

I know where you are coming from, but I want to point out that this is not the typical skilled immigrant experience. I have met a couple of Americans with 10+YOE who have been imported to Germany with competitive salaries, like 150k€/y

The problem is there are no good long term prospects. For example, you might get a job at a research institute or at government funded startup and gain experience working with cutting edge technologies. The pay is mid, but you don't ca

I think he makes a good point about immigration. Immigration is not going to save Germany, because Germany is not an attractive destination. The only people who move to Germany are the ones who failed to get a VISA from an English speaking

There is literally an ocean of difference between mathematics and ML (which seems to be what a lot of comments are talking about).

Controversial opinion: I don't believe in the bitter lesson. I just think that the current DNN+SGD approaches are just not that good at learning deep general expressive patterns. With less inductive bias the model memorizes a lot of sc

Right. The English, the French, the Germans, the Dutch, the Swedish, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Romans, the Greeks, the Austrians, the Belgians, ..., the Cossacks ... none of those ever did anything to show any kind of "cruel men

This is a fascinating perspective. Because a lot of people would rather say that NATO is a US-led project intended to protect US hegemony.

Again, I see no reason why Putin would back down. Instead it reinforces his worldview that the West is the enemy and not interested in any kind of fair balance of power. As for who understands diplomacy, one wonders if the US/EU under

100%, our leaders are playing with fire at this point. Their reasoning is also not rational. If you cannot use diplomacy with Putin because he is crazy, then why do you expect Putin to back down when you try to escalate to deescalate?

We have an epidemic of bad leadership. It's everywhere. Governments, research institutions, private and public companies. I don't know the cause of it, but from what I observe from my workplace it's because the heavily burea

Expanding to multiple EU states is a requirement to satisfy the various governments if you are getting public EU funding. See Airbus for an example.

Pfft. Sure blame the Chinese equipment and not the corrupt and incompetent European management. The Chinese manage to produce batteries just fine.

I believe there have been some success stories from Sweden, but I really have no reason to go and would really not want to live there. I don't know what EU bureaucracy means in my case, since it is very much business dependent. Ease of
