I wholeheartedly agree. I said exactly this to my friend earlier today. However, I immediately followed it up noting that any law like this will eventually be used maliciously. E.g. Party in power will say “CNN LIES!” and get DOJ to set up

This is what an auction system would fix. If you cap the number of visas and make every employer bid on them, then the only visas will be for people making >$500,000/year. Those people are exactly what any red-blooded American sho

For most of the people who don’t live on the west coast, “SF” and “Bay Area” can be used interchangeably. Sometimes it’s used as a synonym for “FAANG HQ city” and suddenly “Bay Area” even includes Seattle and Redmond and parts of NYC.

Specifically, there are 18,000 police jurisdictions in the USA. Each “police force” has completely separate management and reports to a different authority body (most are “ruled” by the government of a city). No one body oversees these 18,0

Yeah I’m talking about Ubuntu being hyper aggressive about upgrading my GPU drivers even after I turn off all auto updates and borking my entire OS install and this happening enough that it’s faster just to make scripts which auto reinstall

This also implies that some nontrivial amount of the driving on roads will be cars with no humans in them, which may also be worse than the status quo.

It works fine for me on very abstract stuff. Seems quite well generalized. Just wish they might release the CLIP encoder for it so you can prompt it with text prompts.

If I'm being honest, I was being charitable to the paper in the spirit of HN guidelines. Figure 1 and Figure 2 clearly shows interaction with reCAPTCHA v2. The language of the paper also evokes reCAPTCHA v2 and suggests that those figu

With 6-7 more doublings in compute power per watt, consumers will have the power of 1000 A100 GPU's in their iPhone. "Eventually" will come before I die, at least. That would happen outside of GP's time estimate but a mo

Someone else can answer this better than I, so I'll probably end up deleting this in an hour or two. But I think the purpose of this research was not to create an excellent GPT model. I believe it was to explore the scaling effects on
