Absolute pitch is a curse for musicians. It's not even an asset unless you are a piano tuner or a transcription professional of some sort. Not many conductors have it. Only a handful of the great musicians in history, from classical to

The regulator could be a text classifier. Think about the sentiment analysis or moderator ML models, but this one would classify text on "hackyness" labels. Now, this is a classic CS problem of sanitizing user input data. And it&#

x86 has more pathways (interconnects), x86 implements a "mesh" design, which is a low-latency, high-power configuration of pathways. ARM uses a neat hierarchical design that favors low-power consumption. So, given a x86 and an ARM

Firstly ARM processors are simpler to produce, with simpler circuitry (RISC!), although the number of transistors tend to be similar between the two platforms. Research costs are also very expensive for x86, with 2 vendors (Intel and AMD) c

Totally guesswork here, but I'd say Chrome has a lot more telemetry, profiling and tracking built-in and its users tend to use a lot more plugins, including things like ad-blockers that scan over each webpage and can be beneficial (bat

I was thinking exactly the same as I read the OP, right where the dad+kid were answering hypothetical ChatGPT questions with Yes and No. I think LLMs inference training should include teaching it to ask questions back before starting full

> Should we warn people off or help them on? "We" and "people" here are idealizations, just like we idealize LLMs as thinking entities. "We" can't warn "people". ChatGPT is a tool, and users w

We actually created a Gource-export plugin for our product like 6 years ago. It would export our data structures and user activity as a git-like log that Gource could ingest. Then we would create videos that would be posted internally at di

My idealistic, engineer self tells me that the State should reward parents that go through parenting training, workshops and "performance" reviews. This is something that is normally done for social-serviced families already, but

Because the "HR-system" has a high-salary bonus payoff in many cases (think of headhunters who get paid as % of the hire's pay). HR people also work on a "prize" mindset, the word "head hunter " says it al

Just like the popular saying, "it's the economy, stupid!", when it comes to kids and social media we might as well say "it's the parents, stupid!" > Like so many parents these days, my wife and I have ceded

It doesn't work like that. It's more like: there's a 250k budget. We got an ex-googler-ex-meta-kid for 200k, so that leaves us 50k for a... Kenya engineer. Then, once both are on-boarded, gee, the Kenya engineer is twice as p

This. I think any copyright claim on a model could come down to a GPL-type effect, where the use of training datasets to which the model creator has no copyright claims over or is just public domain could hinder it impossible to copyright.

ChatGPT is just a tool. With it you can create a service and fine-tune it to specific use cases. Let's imagine there's some cool startup called chris-the-it-consultant.ai that uses ChatGPT in the backend. Here's a prototype:

Excellent packaging OP! I just wanted to say 2 things relating to LLaMa: 1) 7B is unusable for anything really, in case you are hopeful; 2) 68B otoh is awesome ("at least DaVinci level"). I don't know if this is something FB&

Interesting. But how about the Apple Neural Engine (ANE)? I've always wondered if the ANE is ML worthy, maybe it's really only with inference or who knows, even training somehow. I've seen Apple's marketeers bragging abo

It's not that simple. ChatGPT has taken us into this uncanny valley of sentience, and even smart tech journalist (cough) activists (cough) twitterists can be sucked into the media circus of spotting the HALs and Roy Battys hidden behin

Yup. But the thing I would like to alert to *GPT startup hopefuls is that first-to-market won't cut it here. Raising will require wow tech that cannot be replicated by the VC's 11-year old kid with an OpenAI API key.

Your recommended article is more of a critique than OPs "GPT for dummies", and very unsuccessful at explaining what's going on in that chatbox.

I, on the other hand, switched to ChatGPT on 80% of my Google queries. I still use Google for index searches (ie what's that website's domain?) but not for knowledge searches, which is what I do most of the time when "searchi

This spreadsheet was, from the OPs narrative, the master-list used by the whole operations team. An operations team that is now reduced to "ashes" - therefore not a bad idea at all to have your server inventory centralized.
