Can PyTorch be used to implement LLMs / GPT?

In a 10,000+ person org you’re likely to have a huge variation in personalities, then you have pseudonymous internet commenters who may have an axe to grind or other agenda and be happy to cherry-pick one way or the other.

GPT’s only sensor input is text, but if it were able to taste maybe it would learn a favorite ice cream flavor too. Why do you prefer cake batter ice cream? Because of some sequence of events leading up to present point in time (not unlike

Surely there are more interesting/important things to write about than minor violations of EU law, but gotta harvest those anti-Twitter clicks I suppose.

I think that was basically the point of the parent comment. SpaceX has figured out how to build these relatively inexpensively.

Sure there will be "bootleg" models available on BitTorrent or whatever, but generally "open source" refers to legitimately licensed code a big company with lawyers would be ok with incorporating into their own business.

I think one caveat is access to training data. If proprietary models can be trained on useful data from private sources, or worse, if there are successful legal challenges against using public but copyrighted data for training, then it will

HN isn’t a monolith. VCs certainly have the benefit of diversification, but founders generally don’t.

Sam Altman has said OpenAI wants to make the models configurable with minimal restrictions, if desired. I imagine they’ll only do this in the API rather than in the branded frontends like ChatGPT to offload any backlash onto the consumers o

Fair enough, but if the PLA wrote a paper on the military applications of high altitude balloons a year ago that's all I need to know.

by rlt 4y ago
Huh? This paper by the PLA discussed possible military applications a year before these showed up and you think they’re unrelated?

Or maybe it's just a smart PR move to avoid Starlink being seen (even more so) a military weapon? It's critical for Starlink's financial success that it be used as broadly as possible, otherwise satellites will be underutiliz

Starlink is already critical to the Ukrainian military, and likely a significant reason they're doing as well as they are. SpaceX is just preventing them from literally strapping Starlink to weapons, which would likely be even more of

The fact that most IDEs implement it doesn’t mean it’s trivial. I believe most IDEs leverage “language servers” written ~once per language and used by many IDEs. It’s possible GitHub could also leverage those language servers (which would b

Satoshi is the only very high profile person I’m aware of to remain completely (pseud)onymous. Many others have tried and failed (though they often broke the law, so that might be the main distinguishing factor)

> The room is started based on the geography of the person who first joins it Cool, makes a lot of sense because people using a given “room” are often likely to be geographically collocated.
