It's because in Taiwan that's standard compensation for this field, and for that specific project it's TSMC. They don't want to pay US rates if they can avoid it, and it's possible that their company would be unprof

Yeah, it's crazy how intense the meat lobbying is right now.

They are clarifying that "a friend of mine" is not a euphemism for themselves, because it's more common to use it as a euphemism for yourself than it is to actually talk to strangers online about your friend's life, prob

I believe the person you're responding to was being sarcastic.

You might be interested in global workspace theory as a theory of consciousness. You can find more discussion of it, and other theories of consciousness as they relate to modern AI, in this very helpful paper: https://arxiv.org&#

I'm not sure if you're contradicting yourself or if I just haven't understood what you've written, so I'd like to ask two clarifying questions. The first is: Are you claiming that any system built on this architectu

Oh that's a really good point, that might be the logic they use to try to deny the Irish people their independence.

Feels pretty incredibly prescient in the current era, hey.

Exactly, instituting pervasive audio surveillance is bad even if it's rarely used in court, because it can and will still be used for parallel construction.

In theory it should make training a lot easier too, particularly on CPUs. But I think you'll still need reasonably expensive compute to get a model something close to the current big models, and you really can't ignore data. Data

After reading the results I skipped back to the comment section to ask if this was real because it looks a little too good to be true, but figured I should check authors and it's Microsoft research and UCAS so yeah, real. This is going

TikTok runs a very large marketplace. A lot of people shop on there. Nowhere near the size of Amazon or Walmart, but sizeable.

I love Blender and the Blender animation studio, but no, not really. There is a quite good movie that's been made entirely in Blender though, NEXT GEN on Netflix. It's a kids movie, if you liked Big Hero 6 you'll probably lik

We do not need "depopulation, as I specifically noted in my comment there is no issue with our population numbers being significantly higher than they are, let alone at our current levels. The issue is the kinds of technology that we

World population was 2 billion in 1930, 3 billion in 1960, and 4.5 billion in 1980. Today the world population is a bit under 8 billion. The Earth could easily support many more than 8 billion people with the right technology install base,

An individual human starts out a mewling baby and can end up a maxillofacial surgeon through at least partial examples of recursive self-improvement. Learn to walk, talk, read, write, structure, argue, essay, study, cite etc all the way thr

It's a diffusion transformer architecture, so no it doesn't piece together pieces of video. If you're familiar with denoising algorithms, the diffusion algorithm is essentially a semantically guided denoising algorithm. If yo

Supply can be fully constrained and future expected revenue can still go up if demand or capital availability increases, because higher demand and access to more capital mean that NVIDIA can charge more per card and still sell out their ent

The point is to achieve immersion learning. Changing the language of your subtitles on some of the content you watch (YouTube + webpages isn't everything the average person reads) isn't immersion learning, you're often still

The chess knowledge and skills of LLMs comes from them ingesting a sufficient number of chess games in text format (the amount will be proportional to both other data you have and the compute you have), same with the ability of LLMs to play

This is why the big bet for AI-assisted AI-development long term is synthetic data. A big part of the reason so much money and resources is going into synthetic data right now is not just out of economic necessity, but because there have be

Why do you think that the human population is more intelligent, knowledgeable, and achieves greater technological feats as time goes on? It's because of recursive self-improvement, we are raised and educated into being better in a quit

For the reference of people seeing this now: The tweet that person linked has now been deleted and the scientist who tweeted it has acknowledged they were wrong and retracted their claim, as all good scientists should.

This has nothing to do with the model's capabilities and isn't substantially different from the vast majority of mainstream values in content moderation on social media.

I think even aside from the more outlandish ideas like that one, just having a fluent native speaker to talk to as much as you want would be incredibly valuable. Even more valuable if they are smart/educated enough to act as a language

Then it's still incorrect because that wouldn't break the blockade, which would be enforced with radars and anti-ship missiles. Also, it would not be smart for the US to try and mine PRC ports: how many bombers and ships would the

Absolutely, to be clear I'm not at all saying that all Americans are bloodthirsty or anything like that, I have several American friends. I'm more worried about something like a post-9/11 moment, where there's a relative
