I read this differently, it should have put whatever you said in quotation marks, but it clearly is just saying that it doesn't know and therefore you might be right.

Ok, let me try to be technical. These models fundamentally can be understood as containing a parametrised model of an intractable probability distribution ("human created images", "human created text"), which can be cond

There is a significant contingent of influential people that disagree. "Why the future doesn't need us" ( https://www.wired.com/2000/04/joy-2/ ), Ray Kurzweil etc. This is qualitatively different

I think this drastically overestimates what current AI algorithms are actually capable of, there is little to no hint of genuine creativity in them. They are currently severely limited by the amount of high quality training data not the mod

To clarify the link I posted above, was for a job opening not in our group but in the group of Jörg Conradt, I think he would be happy if you send him a mail. I'm at a physics institute, so it is hard to hire non-physicists. I'm t

There is no expectation that you have published, you would be evaluated based on your academic record but also your industry experience. I can’t tell you how things work in the case of Industry PhD, but I can definitely tell you that since

You can do a PhD in the field, depending on your background this wouldn’t necessarily mean that you had to give up working. There are many companies interested in „Industry PhD“ and your experience and background in robotics would probably

The US was the one that doing the meddling primarily, they used the EU as one of the carrots. Victoria Newland famously was recorded saying “fuck the EU”. Germany for example deliberately moved to cut out Ukraine as a transfer country for t

We would have done Ukraine a huge favor if we hadn’t involved ourselves in their internal politics at all. No funding of NGOs, no attempts to integrate them in EU or NATO. It is too late now, but the way that this had become a literal cotta

So do people with autism automatically have some form of anti-social personality disorder? If someone doesn't have empathy or can understand how they are hurting others that should be cause for a lot of concern.

The reply to the prompt is almost complete non-sense. In particular the statements about the speed of sound in vacuum. However in some instances (synthetic quantum systems) you can treat the speed of sound in an ultra-cold gas as the „light

I tried it on two topics I am a domain expert in both in the suggested „lecture notes on …“. It produced rethorically nice sounding sentences with little actual content, that quickly desolved into non-sense. I guess to an outside observer t

You can and there were / are 7-8 Hubble sized telescopes in orbit, with somewhat other optics and sensors looking in the other direction. Most likely the same is true for siblings of JWT.

I've never attempted to change the layout substantially except for using different document classes. I just hand off the manuscript at some point to professional editors and type setters at an academic publisher and they do their thing

To properly talk about compositionality in differential equations you absolutely need category theory. Likewise I firmly believe that PDE and numerical mathematics actually lack a good foundation in category theory, not that they don’t need

Short answer is no. The field is full with tenuous analogies. Then again „Neural Networks“ are also at best metaphorically related. More accurate existing Neuron models are actually also plagued by lots of limitations among them that they a

One thing that can paralise you as a researcher is to be too concerned with what others are doing, that is for sure. Some journals even discourage or eliminate claims of priority (eg Phys Rev). The time you spend worrying about the work of

The publicly known US tests of hypersonic gliders all failed or rather disintegrated, as I said there is a genuinely hard problem to be solved here and the US stopped research into it in the 80s for quite a while.

Russia has hypersonic reentry vehicles, they are pretty much impossible to intercept ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-28_Sarmat ), each of these MIRV contains 10-15 nuclear warheads or an unspecified number of hypers

It seems very weird to me that “stability” is building a company around something they didn’t create.

If you go far back enough the Romans were responsible for founding a large number of modern day Western European cities. In CIV terms building a city surrounded by desert tiles is just a very late game move.

The chance of healthy young males dying from Covid is close to zero and not 0.3%. I recently had Covid, less than 6 months after the booster and I don’t think it could have been worse than it was. The third shot measurably impacted my fitne

These articles use far more cautious language than you suggest and if they don't everyone working in the field is hopefully aware that such claims are the academic equivalent of clickbait at best.

I agree and that is why we have build Norse https://github.com/norse/norse an open source deep learning library for neuromorphic computing based on PyTorch. It doesn’t have any commercial backing yet, but we had quite

It is hard to use twitter and not be drawn into negativity and conflict. I think that is mainly because it not only recommends tweets by people you follow. You quickly end up getting exposed to lots of content other people „liked“. Which mo

Golf is really the key here, much nicer to play a few rounds of golf with Dietmar in his Club than think too hard about ERP processes.

They are doing that, this scales to ~100-1000s of people per state. I suspect that on the current trajectory they will need to monitor far more and they are dealing with technology that most likely has been compromised by the US but not the
