Given the massive bottlenecks that will likely remain in quantum for the next 10yr+ (Would love to see a change here obviously but c'est la vie) I doubt anyone is blanket decrypting everyone's email just to see what people had for

Yeah, you're hitting the nail on the head. Low tier coding work can be reduced and the high end developers can now avoid boiler plate type coding problems and get back to high level work at reengineering complex frameworks. Yes, this u

Given the cost of taking 4+ years of your life to train under someone learning a skill, yes, there's a huge financial risk in doing this. If you're able to ignore that fantastic, great for you and I hope you're happy, but eve

Simply put no other model has the same number of effective skip connections or passes as much information through the model from input to output. Earlier models had huge bottlenecks in terms of information limits and precision. (Auto encode

Simply put the stability of attention based models over non attention based ones. Google dropped MHA self attention which was a major idea that they showed to work. OpenAI saw and built an empire on FeedForward attention models which are (

Most developers aren't sysadmins and most sysadmins don't work closely with their developers. After you factor that in most of the disasters of this type involving the cloud or home spun rust are easily explained away. The former

Feels more and more like openAI doesn't have "that next big thing". To be clear I'm constantly impressed with what they have and what I get as a customer, but the delivery since 4 hasn't exactly been in line with Al

Given the original reason for lockdown in the UK was 20% all cause mortality. 100% expected fatalities above about 70 and hospitals struggling for oxygen supplies. Yes it was not that bad. No that’s not an exaggeration, that’s why lockdown

I think it is as your engaging which means you'll be more likely to listen to statistics next time they're presented to you with a "non immediately obvious" outcome. If it were fruitless you wouldn't have engaged fr

Touching grass is honestly not a problem for me. But I like that you think I'm trapped behind a keyboard. Must have hit a nerve if we're getting close to name calling. Please refrain from this. I'm telling you facts because f
