What? You can get consistent output on local models. I can train large nets deterministically too (CUBLAS flags). What your saying isn't true in practice. Hell I can also go on the anthropic API right now and get verbatim static result

“non-deterministic machines“ Not correct. They are deterministic as long as a static seed is used.

Huh? These are documents written (not a Maori technology), printed (not a Maori technology), bound into a book (not a Maori technology), placed in a library (not a Maori idea/concept). A Computer database is irrelent here, you seem to

Honestly, many New Zealand’ers (especially the inner city Wellington/Auckland public service class) have a major problem with native cultural relations (bordering on obsequiousness) that is increasingly out of step with developed globa

Except Mātauranga by definition refers to “TRADITIONAL” knowledge. And as OP points out this isnt it. I too feel gaslit respectfully, reading your reply and the article.

Have you upgraded your binary recently. I feel like this was true 1-2 months ago, but not anymore.

Casinos, Financial Markets of all denominations, Horse Racing are also examples of pure play speculation. Speculation is often just a form of entertainment. Your moral equivocation is utterly irrelevant.

by phyalow 1y ago
Speculation is a legitimate use case. There is substantially more to it than that but I will let you chew that over just to point out how blatantly incorrect your prior is.

On the contrary, I would class myself a mid to high skill dev, I have a CS degree and about 10 years of Java/C++/Rust/Python under my belt (focused on Financial Market applications). I would consider myself today 2-3x more ef

I think you're drawing an artificial distinction here. Synthetic data generation is fundamentally an extension of augmentation. When OpenAI uses expert generated examples and curriculum based approaches, that's literally textbook

Um, augmentation (i.e. the generation of synthetic data) is a very very well known technique for improving learning. Also whats with the hate for MBA’s? Your comment is off kilter with the rules here.

I absolutely agree. Lammy’s justification about “closing a vector for illegal immigration” just shows how spineless they all are (especially the new lot Kier & Co.). No creativity, no defense of national interests. Just fear of negative
