I feel you are precisely making the opposite point. Athletes eat more because of their energy expenditure. The same happens with people trying to lose weight. It dramatically increases your hunger making a cut that much harder. I've

That's a big leap from "answering test questions" to "contributing to scientific discovery".

It's the other way around. If Apple released data center GPUs then developers might take that path. Apple has shown time and again they don't care for developers, so it's on them.

I have no desire to defend the admin, but that was not what was announced at all. It was announced that OpenAI/Oracle/Softbank were investing $500B, which they are. It had nothing to do with government spending.

I feel like you are ignoring or dismissing the word "interpolating", although a better word would likely be generalization. I'd make the claim that it's very hard to generalize without some form of world model. It&#x27

I'd say every programmer uses the constructs in assembly. Just because we have layers and layers of abstraction on top of that doesn't mean it's not valuable to understand the far simpler world that it all sits upon (Granted

There was no advice provided other than to "look it up". That's not particularly helpful for someone new to the field and overwhelmed by the amount of resources and approaches. If you are aware of "documentation"

This feels like the "How to Draw an Owl" meme all over again. Just create a self navigating robot from scratch...

Saying we don't "need" AGI is like saying we don't need electricity. Sure life existed before we had that capability, but it would be very transformative. Of course we can make specialized tools in the mean time.

How does it make you feel that your computing carbon footprint may be higher than rolling coal? Are we the problem?

I'm not saying it's a perfect solution, but with Windows 11 Pro and group policy I was able to disable all of the annoying stuff, and because it is group policy it has persisted through several years of updates. It is annoying yo

Sorry didn't notice, it was the top google result. I have ublock origin and firefox so I tend not to see many ads.

Fair point. It's interesting though I have a large steam library (1000+ games) and the intersection with this is very low. How many of these games actually have sales? But regardless, the point was that steam features provided vendor

Yeah I considered mentioning those but they are also on consoles.

If that were true, you'd think you see more steam exclusive games. The problem is I can't think of a single one I own that is steam exclusive. I am sure there's at least one out there.

Are they using the same diffusion models as the GPT-3 area? Meaning is it the LLM that has improved or is it the diffusion model? I know it's probably a foolish take but I am really skeptical of the "larger models will solve all o

That's not very useful. There are many healthy processed foods. It's better if we actually define what types of processing are unhealthy.

Except that is not AI safety. You are regulating other concerns (privacy, data ownership) which is great! But it's not the topic at hand. Unless you are cough partially defining AI safety as privacy and data ownership. Which is my

Hyperparameter optimization in the 20th century was AI improving itself. Even more basic, gradient descent is a form of AI improving itself. The statement implies something that is more impressive than what it may potentially mean. Far mo

You can't have regulators and enforcement until you figure out what it means.

Easy, vastly improved inference performance on machines with larger RAM but lower bandwidth/compute. These are becoming more popular such as Apple's M series chips, AMD's strix halo series, and the upcoming DGX Spark from Nvi

Do you know that they made a bet on MoE? Meaning they abandonded dense models? I doubt that is the case. Just releasing MoE Llama 4 does not constitute a "bet" without further information. Also from what I can tell this performs

At this point I think it is safe to assume open means open weights only.

You can however turn scenic mode off which I would do immediately. That said, probably would never consider a Vizio tv.

"Minimal input" like pushing a button on a camera? Seems to me that is more minimal than some of the elaborate prompting it takes to get AI to output a desired image.

So basically, if you ignore how the entire system works then it wasn't a blowout lol. I'm guessing the media was taking into account that we indeed use an electoral college system so that is all that matters.

You are acting like it was obvious that machine learning was the future, but this person was just stubborn. I don't think that was necessarily the case in the early 2010s and skepticism was warranted. If you see results and ignore th
