This is not quite the same as the median: it is possible for the bottom 50% to improve but for the median to stay the same (i.e. imagine if everyone in the bottom 50% suddenly equaled the best of them). But the median is a lot better than t

Well, if you're looking at the bottom X%, then you can be confident that the rest of the population are in a better position.

The short lifetime of it really seems to limit the usefulness. I had a look at it before and really struggled to see what I would use it for.

I'm quite guilty of it and often find myself pushing parenthetical parts into the main text to avoid things getting too badly nested.

Yes, but the point is specifically on whether inference in and of itself is profitable (i.e. whether the unit economics work out). They are still losing money overall, but they're not losing more money the more people use their produ

Has this line of argument actually held up in court, though?

by rcxdude 4mo ago
For one point, you can look at the costs of similarly sized open-source models from inference providers (which are only making money on the markup on the compute), and compare with anthropic's prices. There's a pretty big price di

One thing to keep in mind is that the colors on these diagrams are only approximations of what the model is actually representing: even if the colorspace of the image can cover it (which is already unlikely), even very good screens cannot c

There are some objections/worries on the grounds of 'is reality fundamentally quantum or is there some other model that is classical and means QC doesn't work'. But it's also worth distinguishing the different appro

That's pretty much it. They're not going to beat conventional drilling on price at lower depths, so why bother with it?

I'm not sure that makes the approvals that much cheaper and easier. As I understand it, the slight differences between existing nuclear power plants that are for the most part the same design is already one of the reasons why they are
492.
by rcxdude 4mo ago
I'm not sure how this question would be relevant. Nuclear bombs are impractical for power generation and a nuclear reactor is not ever going to turn into a nuclear bomb.

Would the fuel efficiency be sufficiently bad to make the fuel costs relevant to the cost of running the plant, though?

Usually it's installers taking the piss on quotes because it's not a standard thing and they don't want to deal with it or think they can get away with it. The US has a similar issue in some places for heat pumps (but not AC,

I dunno, I didn't make that claim, I'm just pointing out there seems to be two different conversations happening in different participant's heads.

I will point out that the original poster did not say "terminally online", but "very online". (oh, and "extremely online"). I don't personally feel that has the same kind of connotations.

The main contention seems to be 'surely everyone knows you shouldn't talk to the police' and 'no, quite a lot of people believe the opposite, but it's not as common to see that belief online', with a bit of thi

No, but online is where you see this advice being most commonly posted and repeated. Second-most might be in lawyer's offices, but a) most people don't interact with lawyers, especially not in the context of criminal investigation

to use your analogy you're claiming that half the population has been driving drunk for years and yet you aren't pointing to an increased rate of collisions on the road. This is not the same thing as an individual doing a dumb thi

That isn't how any of these things work, though. This kind of thing needs a permission to be granted by the user and it does not extend to third-party ads appearing on the site that it is granted to (banner ads have, for a long time, b

This is apples and oranges, though. AWS does not manage your whole product. Are you going to have 24/7 on call for the parts that you manage? If not, why do you need it for the parts AWS manages? The reality is that most smaller compan

Just because a problem is not hard to imagine it doesn't mean that the problem is actually a problem in practice. It is worth asking if there are any signs of it existing for real.

Seems to be a popular means for marketing gambling. There was a scandal of a bunch of twitch streamers doing the same thing for skin gambling websites.

AFAIK mechanical hearts can be prone to creating blood clots and can put more stress on other parts of the body, so it's not necessarily the safest option to just run it flat out.

Specifically the you get better results with techniques that can scale up to the amount of data you have. People often think of it as a "just brute force it" but for the lesson to apply you do need to come up with how you're

Almost no test suite is comprehensive enough to cover even the kinds of bugs that will appear commonly in wide production use, let alone all of them. A big rewrite needs a lot of actual use as well to shake out the issues not covered by the

There was a trial of starship's robots in the city I live in, and they generally seemed to be well received (of the people I know who used them and just encountered them while walking/cycling around, and I didn't see any repo

Some of this does seem to stem from pedestrian infrastructure not exactly being great in the first place.

Probably under the same regulations that allow a powered wheelchair on the sidewalk. A low maximum speed makes up for a lot of things. But they should have a plan for encountering a wheelchair user.
