In many cases they are doing their own designs (done by engineers they hired away from the various electronics companies) and having either TSMC or Intel fab the chips for them. They can design specifically for their workloads to get better

AMD is way behind. But one kind of competition that's going to more important in a year or two is that the huge companies (Meta, Google, Amazon) are working on their own AI chips, designed to run their workloads at lower cost (time and

A parallel that was not mentioned has to do with intellectual property. In the 19th century the US did not respect foreign copyrights or patents; smuggled British machinery was cloned to produce the American industrial revolution, and Charl

For the first example, for C or C++ code gcc will catch the dangling reference/pointer and warn about it, and since my group normally turns on -Wall -Werror, it's an error. However, the analysis is local and not as powerful as Rus

The most blatant whoppers that Google's AI preview makes seem to stem from mistaking satirical sites for sites that are attempting to state facts. Possibly an LLM could be trained to distinguish sites that intend to be satirical or pro

If a takedown notice is sent, maybe it is because someone's rights are being infringed, or maybe someone is just trying to censor something they don't like, or falsely claim authorship. You seem to be assuming that the fact that t

Messier catalogued many objects, some of which were galaxies, but he did not know what they were. It was Hubble who first figured out (in the 1920s) that there were definitely separate galaxies. https://lco.global/spacebook&

The reason that it is impossible is that there is no possible set of answers that would require the test-giver to acknowledge that a test-taker passed the test. Anyone the test-taker does not like can be failed.

I notice that the terms "debt" and "bankruptcy" (and their variants) appear nowhere in the article.

It may be that one LLM had text from the language in its training set along with translations, and the other didn't.

Microsoft forced a lot of uniformity on x86 designs, with standard methods of probing to find all of the buses and devices, while historically ARM devices where embedded and the architecture was arbitrary, which was why you needed device tr

It won't happen because neither the US nor the EU antitrust regulators will allow it. It isn't just up to Qualcomm and Intel. Some other deal, where Qualcomm buys some pieces of Intel, might be possible.

I should have qualified this with "the engineering departments at UC Berkeley". Everything we put out (papers, technical reports, open source software) was on the Internet. Formats were varied; LaTeX and Postscript were commonly u

Everything was digital at UC Berkeley back in the early 1990s and before.

Even before generative AI was an issue, in the US you couldn't just tell a court "this is a photo, therefore it is evidence". There had to be witnesses would could testify about how that photo was produced, and the other side

The number is being reported accurately, but with only one digit of significance. Rounding 39 to 40 isn't lying and isn't deceitful.

They might just change its status to a vanity top level domain like ".lol" or ".sucks" and sell it to the highest bidder, taking the money. They would justify it by saying that they want to promote stability, maybe requi

If OnlyFans is taking a 20% cut and Apple is taking a 30% cut of transactions on their platform, it seems that Apple is 50% more toxic than OnlyFans. I've never done business with them and am not interested in buying that kind of conte

If OnlyFans is really paying 80% of gross to creators, it seems that any kind of "regular professional status" would be worse for them, at least for the top 10%.

On Facebook, public isn't the default, but on Instagram it is. All those billions of photos, including all those famous people: evidently fair game.

This would include all those celebrity posts on Instagram. Great for deepfakes. They'll try to protect against that, but a bit of cleverness with prompts should be able to get around the filters.

They have value in the code because they save time when someone has to deal with that code a couple of years later. Certainly the explanation could be in the code reviews or the commit message, but it's easiest if it is right there.

"Why would a language model do anything other than "hallucinate" (i.e. generate words without any care about truthiness) ?" That's exactly the question the paper attempts to answer: why do LLMs ever get it right? Th

Grace Hopper joked about finding a literal bug, because "bug" was already a term for a defect at the time. It it weren't, the joke wouldn't make sense. There seems to be widespread confusion about that, leading to peopl

I've seen this stated before, but I haven't been able to find reliable data on when regulators required Microsoft to provide the access that they provided, or whether there's been time to provide a more secure approach. Do yo

MS could have provided security hooks similar to BPF in Linux, and similar mechanisms with Apple, rather than having Crowdstrike run arbitrary buggy code at the highest privilege level.

Well yes, the Reddit-Google deal might be found to violate antitrust. Probably will, because it is so blatantly anticompetitive. But if a publication decides to give special access to search engines so they can enforce their paywall but sti
