My favourite explanation comes from Hayek [1]. Profit is a signal for other economic actors to move into the market to provide more goods and services. If something is profitable it means people (society) sees value in it so it is right tha

I, and many economists, would argue that the price signal, profit and "serving society" are more tightly interwound than many like Hideyuki are mislead to believe.

China is outcompeting Germany as a manufacturer of high value goods, particularly cars [1][2]. Last year it overtook Germany as the second biggest car exporter. In the first three months of this year, China has surpassed Japan to become the

The reality is that the quality of production in those countries isn't going to match China, that is why things are still Made in China despite rising wages and geopolitical tensions. The FT reported that 50% of Indian iPhone _casings_

What are the commercial applications of mega context window LLMs at current prices? I would guess mainly legal. And what strategies would you rely on to reduce the accumulating costs over the course of a session?

What was the dollar cost to do this work? To iterate over a 40k context must be expensive.

Pareto principle. With the dawn of AI systems and the scale they require I wonder how much more unequal things will get. Previously you would have no issues running the state of the art CIFAR classifier model on your laptop, now running you

Yes, that was my point.

I tried two of the "failure mode" examples given: The Russian bears in space, and walking across a river with an average depth of 3 feet. The examples fail in GPT-3.5 while GPT-4 gives the "correct" response. The article

Market competition and innovation in both ML and hardware has consistently driven down the price of AI in the past decade. You only have to look at where we are with capabilities today compared to ten years ago when CIFAR100 classifiers wer

Or rather, more analogously, a self-driving car that has a range of 10 000 miles but sometimes makes mistakes when driving vs a self-driving car with a range of 800 miles that never makes mistakes. Once you've have a taste of intellige

I believe this goes back to the ancient Shinto belief that all beings are inhabited by kami (gods). Therefore to pierce a food is to pierce the god within. This is also why origami developed more broadly in Japan, because paper cutting (a C

Is this anything like what Langchain supports which is various strategies for chat history compression (summarisation)? https://www.pinecone.io/learn/langchain-conversational-memor... But aside from this, if I have a l

At $0.60 for 20k prompt tokens, it's not going to be cheap so they will need to bring the price down to get broader adoption. As far as I can tell, the initial reading in of the document (let's say a 20k token one), will be a repe

Yes that's imprecision on my part. For a table D is fixed, but not necessarily across tables in the vector database index

An embedding model will map a string of text (of variable length) to R^D. Each model has its own fixed D, yes. (Typically the vector is a unit vector for performance reasons.) The main function of vector database is similarity lookup so you

Not sure what this comment is driving at. "At it's core" a database is a collection of data, sure.

You can sell the A100 after once you're done as well. Possibly even at profit?

No it doesn't. I find its evaluation rather fair.

It will be interesting to see how they define "classical" — Does it include only Western art music? Does it include only music from the Baroque and after? What about Perotin? Does it include classical musical traditions from non-w

Great leadership from Satya Nadella since 2014 seems to be the leading explanatory factor here. A sequence of very good decisions and products coming one after another. You forgot to mention VSCode as well which has now become an industry s
