You could ask the same kind of question about General Relativity. Sure mass/energy causes the curvature of spacetime but tell me how it does or your theory is worthless. Even without the “how” GR still makes testable predictions that a

Why wouldn’t you use colab for nsfw? Do you really not trust Google Cloud that much? Or do they have some kind of policy I’m not aware of (can’t imagine how they would enforce this)?

What would it take to make it plan A? My take: rust-level WASM support and a decent standard library.

If it comes with Apple's usual 14 day no questions asked money-back guarantee, I will absolutely try it. If I can comfortably code in it for a workday instead of external monitors, I will definitely keep it.

I think you have to ask yourself "compared to what?". Compared to REST, I would argue auto-generated GraphQL clients are superior (compared to auto-generated REST clients based on something like OpenAPI). Compared to gRPC, I think

i think it would be super interesting to do a study where we compared the effects of moderate/high-dose psychedelics to some other substance that had comparable subjective effects. but (a) i don't think such a control substance ac

I agree that “computational advantage” is probably too strong a conclusion. However, it is intriguing to think about how this general effect (increasing the time span over which data are integrated) could extend to more abstract reasoning.

What you seem to be after is scientific evidence. The problem is that these substances by nature cannot be double-blind trialed because blinding is impossible. So as individuals we all need to make a decision whether we would like to try th

This is such a bizarre comment to make about something that is Apache licensed. Who cares what happened before now that it’s truly open?

Kind of wish this actually worked as a phone by running Android in the cloud. Would be really useful to have a second phone inside an app for all sorts of things.

I think these are both important perspectives. There’s a real societal cost to having some of the best AI researchers with a golden gag only able to share limited details about their work the main bulk of which remains behind closed doors.

I've used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FSFBSXY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... It's pretty much exactly what you're describing. My only complaint is that the velcro wears off after time and it stops

I hope we see more of this sort of use of WASM (creating universal libraries). Same argument applies for Go/cgo.

It’s also open source under a permissive license so personally I see that as mostly upside.

These kinds of tools are designed to work in monorepos so you don’t really rely on package management like you do with separate repos. This works really well for sharing close inside companies/entities. Doesn’t work as well for sharing

If an institution is a net negative and it dies then we are better off immediately. Even if it’s not a net-negative and it dies we might be better off in the long term because something better replaces it.

This is a good thing. Many people are of the opinion that model weights don’t have copyright independent of the source code used to generate them. The source code and training data are all open. The model weights are a deterministic functio

I really wish they would make this tech available via gcloud. Seems like it would be very popular and a great way to attract other gcloud business away from MS/GitHub which scales horribly.

I wish the JEP showed which company was behind it. It has an author but it’s just a username not a full name and doesn’t indicate the company they work for.

Agreed! I think one useful direction to take this debate is to admit that in order for you or me to interact with the tool we need to have a mental model of the tool (so we have some idea of how to interact with it). So which mental model i

It's definitely missing a "module" that humans have: something like an ability to know & admit when it's not certain about something. The way I think of it is: imagine if you constitutionally unable to ever admit tha

I hear this type of opinion expressed frequently by coders. I use ChatGPT pretty much every day (to help with various tasks) and there's just no way to hold on to this kind of belief after you get to "know" it at that level.
