   Do Google and Microsoft also have plans to pursue ARM?

   I'm assuming node already is fast on ARM since it uses the same javascript engine as a major mobile web browser.

   Or maybe their lawyers told them to write that it's not tax deductible and then a marketing person wrote this.

   Fair enough, sparse usually means weights are sparse and not activations. Obviously you can compare parameter count if you really want to, but from a technical point of view training a densely activated model is a much bigger feat. Also, I

   This is a sparse model. You can't just compare the parameter count against dense models like GPT-3. Otherwise, Google already had a 137B parameter model in 2017: https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.06538

   The article seemed incoherent to me. It went from "people who write spreadsheet apps are being subverted" (how?) to "the police is flying drones" to "tech workers need to stand up". I haven't watched artic

    jQuery solved the problem of browser compatibility and hard-to-use browser APIs. However browser api have improved a lot, with new apis sometimes modeled after jquery, and browser compatibility is much less of an issue. There is really isn&

    What I mean is that he did not make a public statement that he approves of it. In other words, as far as we know v4 was created with his approval, but v5 was created without his approval.

    How does that work? I have a hard time believing this. If they employee writes a sci-fi novel in their free time, does the company own the copyright for that?

    That's not true. If you don't use any work resources and it doesn't compete with google, Google doesn't doesn't own it (at least in California). The reason they have this progress is that google does so many things

    I'm not sure if you are kidding, but that's not the reason. It was a decision by the security team and a reaction to multiple security issues that were found in the Zoom client. Google employees can still use the Zoom web client o

    In February 2020, PJ Reddie noted he would discontinue research in computer vision. He actually stopped working on it because of ethical concerns. I'm inspired that he made this principled choice despite being quite successful in thi

    EATS and Wavenet are from the same research group. EATS and Tacotron have almost the same score for the human sample. None of the papers said that they used Mechanical Turk. Google has it's own internal MT-like service which is probabl

    It seems like the abstract is a little bit misleading. WaveNet is almost scoring half a point better on a scale from 1 to 5. Tacotron 2 [1] is scoring even better and reporting a score which is almost human-like: EATS 4.083 W

    I recently started learning React for a side project I'm working on (in my day job I have more of a machine learning/backend role). There are a ton of coding videos for react. I never understood why people are watching these kind

    I mentioned in a comment below that a startup I worked for previously used Erlang. It was a giant headache. They initially used Mnesia as a database but it had issues (which I don't recall because it was before I joined). Then they swi

    I think it's the combination of mature and widely used. The company I worked at previously used Erlang. It caused a lot of headache in terms of finding well-supported database drivers and things like that.

    I was also skeptical of that statement. I did a google trends search and indeed there seems to be a slow decline in command-line related searches: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=bash,awk...

    I think you are thinking about "changing the world". "Making the world a better place" to me has the connotation of providing a small positive contribution for others around you.
