Caches drive the internet. They are orders of magnitude more important than compression. 99.99% of requests hit a local cache. (1) Compression is important too. (1) I worked in a telco. Check it out for yourself!

No - personal carbon consumption. New Yorkers have lived an unsustainable life style for the last 100 years, for the last 50 years you've all known about it - but you've done nothing about it. Yes - the capital markets are also hu

Sure, I will explain. New York is one of the epicenters of consumption that has driven climate change and precipitated the wild fires in Canada. The USA has been one of the most sustained producers of carbon in the world for the last centur

This is going to sound brutal - but citizens of New York... if there is anyone in the world to blame for this, it is you... Sorry. I know that's horrid. But it's also true.

I think that they are providing it with tools to answer certain questions; it will get the right answers... but it won't know how.

that's composition - there it's trying to stack its universal function approximators and the errors are propagating out of control. You're also right about hallucinating the execution. I was testing PLAM-2 today and I noticed

Acushully... There is a very specific problem - the simulation speed problem - that is in the way. For games RL agents can be trained by running billions of adversarial simulations. Set up a battle between two agents and reward the one that

9/10 or 99/100 or 999/1000? The problem is that they get some things right quite often, and other things right occasionally.

I think that one of the concerns about a TRC in NI is/was that both sides saw the future opportunity for justice within the existing or likely to exist legal framework. A TRC would have nullified that and many people felt that the stat

Possibly more like the colour revolution in Egypt. 80% unemployment managed with machine guns and state control of all information sources.

I have been amused by how bad GTP-4 and Bard are at playing tic-tac-toe. Also utterly clueless at othello.

Also administrative assistants and secretarial support. 30 years ago maybe 1/2 of the white collar workforce and now maybe 5% or less? Not AI - but IT.

It's often a software problem too. It's pretty easy to ship software with memory leaks - especially when there are few users, limited money for testing and technically challenging tasks - such as large images that need to be manip

ahhh I remember the good old days when I could get 8% on some crypto investments and buy a nice ape for $4k before selling it for $400k if only I would wait for the right time.

I was peripherally involved in the maintenance of one of the systems studied for FEAST/2. The system persisted in production for many years after the end of the study, in fact I think it's still running. My job at one point was to

It's weird that people are coming to my company and saying "we want to do a project on QC to do this interesting thing" and then when we say "sorry that's imaginary for 70 years" they go off and do it with some

Why is it that some people in the USA refuse to ascribe agency to their allies? A large reason that NATO didn't dissolve and also expanded was that the Europeans (possibly not the French) wanted it. Especially Eastern Europeans. As a B

it's a sim of Quantum processes. If a QC could be made to run for 2^20 (ish) longer and to have 2^3 better quality than SOTA then they could do this on it. That would be great because it would run in about 10 seconds, which I assume is

TLDR - this is being run on GPU's to "prepare for the quantum future".

It's very hard to know because we don't know and can't experiment with its training data. So - it may be doing first principle reasoning, or it may be doing token substitution vs. some known example that it's seen before

Thank you for some explanation. I thought more or less the same. Sometimes people think strong typing is type safety. Weak/strong typing is a very confusing concept now, I think dynamic / static is a much clearer division. Persona

No classes - thank the lord. This was a 30 year experiment that failed. Parametric polymorphism is the way and the light. >weak typing despite having multiple dispatch I'm struggling to understand, do you mean that it doesn't h
