A relative of mine worked for the UN and interfaced with the UN after they left for a non-profit. Anyone that knows anything about them and also just simply observing what and how they are doing things should have no doubt that it is filled

It will all make sense once you realize who works at the UN, basically nepo babies of all colors and variety, including second cousins of Saudi royalty etc.

what is striking to me is how far reasoning by analogy and generalization can get you. some of the deepest theorems are about relating disparate things by analogy.

It would be great if we got "kernel independent" Nvidia drivers. I have some experience with bare-metal development and it really seems like most of what an operating system provides could be provided in a much better way as a set

This is a terrible idea and direction but it will not stop people from pursuing it and as soon as they have a critical mass of people reviewing each other it will go on for quite a while. Transformers for time series is one of those things

I think it is a given that they are aiming for a fully custom training cluster with custom training chips and inference hardware. That would align well with their abilities and actually isn't too hard to pull off for them given that th

In this case the hardware is a nightmare to program.

I think what current agent's are missing is taste or the ability to tune taste. So capturing taste across many users might be really valuable.

It is possibly to create synthetic fuel from coal. For usecases that absolutely require fuel we would be able to synthetically create it.

That isn’t actually true. I‘ve personally worked on an embedded POWER processor https://github.com/electronicvisions/nux . It is used as a dual core embedded micro-controller in a neuromorphic chip. Each core has just 1

I don’t think that is true, there is only so much heavy water on the planet and doing hydrogen fusion is not all that economical.

Not every vector field has a potential. So not every weight update can be written as a gradient.

Personally I am almost certain that the current framing of RL and its relationship to animal behavior is deeply misguided. It proves close to impossible to train animals using this paradigm (not for a lack of trying), i.e. animals such as m

There are tasks, which are implemented as part of the runtime and they appear to plan to integrate libuv in the future. Some of the runtime seems to be fairly easy to hack and have somewhat nice ways of interoperating with both C, C++ and R

Classifying MNIST digits with 93% accuracy can also be accomplished using a linear classifier. So it isn't clear to me what the advantage would be.

It cost 6 billion to build the current collider (in an existing tunnel) and CERN has a budget of 1-2 billion per year. In terms of data they are easily producing 100x of previous colliders.

Compare the number of issues here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Vulkan . The only issue with the Nvidia driver is that there might be another (open-source) driver installed. AMD has several drivers which fail in dif

I tried AMD exactly once for Linux graphics, it was so unstable that I bought a NVIDIA card within a month and have never looked back. Potentially NVidias approach of staying as far away as possible from the Linux kernel abstractions is muc

It is a very fad driven field. Everyone brands everything. It isn't enough to give things boring titles like, stacked open linear dynamical system with selective observations and learned timestep.

There is nothing theoretical that stops anyone from trying that. It is just a matter of engineering and architecture. It is (in principle) possible to define "spiking transformers" and there is more than one way to do so, but this

Trying to figure that out right now :), there is a tension between an algorithm like this and the biophysical reality of actual brains. My intuition is that whatever the brain does is not so much an approximation of any known algorithm, but
