Maybe not a good idea to link a page that runs source code created by random people. Well CSS is very safe, but still.

Not if you ask first.

Neural nets often fail with (repetitive) gibberish output when the input is too different from the training data. This model appears to take in the entire text input at once or look ahead at the next input letters, so the unusual "bla

Can DRIZZLE help to achieve higher resolution? Though with hundreds of photos this will imply a lot of work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drizzle_(image_processing)

Geoffrey Hinton has recently been talking about how analog and "imperfect" computing with specialized hardware/circuitry may yield much cheaper neural nets, that could easily be as large as human brains, but would only cost a

But they have highly likely internal prototypes with higher bandwidth and latency. Also, with distilled latent diffusion one can probably generate text(-images) much faster anyhow as it could produce long chunks of text at once, rather than

Yes, but the losses in Figure 3 increase because the larger models see fewer data to keep the FLOP budget constant, not because of overfitting. Large models do not overfit very much, so the loss of a larger model will still be better compar

Though isn't it highly likely that core devs working at the big tech giants have access to 10x-100x faster compute, e.g. some secret TPU successor at Google?

> if you want improved performance, you still need more data Not true. See figure 2: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.15556.pdf#page=5 The loss decreases with greater model size at the same compute budget (i.e. stopping s

Not necessarily: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.14486 Also, even with "Chinchilla laws", you still gain performance in a larger model, you just need a lot more data (if just as noisy) to reach the same level of

Yeah, continuous online learning by fine-tuning seems like an obvious way of making these models recall information from outside the perceptible context. One could also prompt the model to (recursively) summarize code and prepend this summa

The model with the most similar name in this list is code-cushman-001 which is described as "Codex model that is a stronger, multilingual version of the Codex (12B) model in the paper". https://crfm-models.stanford.edu&

Amazing if this is only a 12B model. If this already increases coding productivity by up to 50% (depending on kind of work), imagine what a 1T model will be capable of! I do wonder if some programmers at FAANG are already having access to a

Can you use a different Wi-Fi network at the same time for internet access or does Wi-Fi Direct block any other Wi-Fi access?

Google will not disappear. They already have much larger neural nets almost ready for deployment, plus they will be able to afford even larger ones in future. And size is all that matters while the techniques are mostly trivial.

It is measurable, but not harmful to a meaningful extent. There are lots of sources of low-dose radiation in the natural human/primate/.../mammalian environment.

Speaking of which, is anyone aware of example code using the LSTM? I've been trying to get this to work, but there seems to be information missing e.g how to setup the input/output descriptors and how to manage input data: https:

How much electricity can plausibly be saved this way? And how does that compare to the energy required to reprogram and possibly renew all these signs?

While automatic data collection might become harder, one can still curate high quality datasets. An example is Tesla's FSD autopilot which is nearly entirely trained on curated data (AFAIK), as well as highly realistic 3D simulation da

One piece of evidence is that authorities pushing hard for surveillance do not actually care about removing images they find, even though removal requests are easy to file and are obeyed by hosters.[0] More evidence is that this sort of cri

Power concentration is inevitable regardless of the system because in order to enforce decentralization you would need to, well, concentrate power. Our best bet is to shame those using products of unethical companies.

Perhaps they induce immunity to novel viruses by transferring them in small doses between very different animals. Just guessing though.
