Shouldn't it be the other way round, linear to time, and logarithmic relative to (the exponentially growing) capital investment?

I wonder on what basis "someone who’s lived nearly seven decades without once setting foot in an airport lounge" is critisizing an op-ed about airport longes so harshly.

Also, using an OpenAI model to judge the performance of an OpenAI model seems prone to all kinds of biases.

Yes, the forward pass does a next token prediction on all input tokens (so we know exactly how many tokens from the small model matched). The expensive thing is not the computation, but the memory bandwidth, as each pass needs to load the m

AI context and instruction following has become so good, probably you could put this verbatim in an AI prompt, and the AI would react according to the post.

The novel concept is to make it explicit where a non-concurrent scheduler is enough (async), and where it is not (async-concurrent). As a benefit, you can call async functions directly from a synchronous context, which is not possible for t

From what I understand, only the sensitive data needs to be encrypted (e.g. your bank transactions). It is still possible to use public unencryped data in the computation, as the function you want to compute doesn't have to be encrypte

There is also &mut str. The nice thing about Rust is that the same memory area can be used as a "StringBuilder" with &mut str, and then as a "String" with &str. Once you have a &str reference, Rust static

You can, but allocating and deallocating is more tedious without a GC, and if you care about performance, you might want to have mutable strings.

If you need to change trains, you will need to walk (or travel by non-train) some distance in all cases. I wonder, is there a limit to the transfer distance, so that it still counts as traveling by rail only?

Probably these things exist, but if they are truly unhypeable, only a select few will ever know of it, and their economic and societal impact will remain negligible.

Combine an exponential growth in investments (that is inherent to our economy) with a logarithmic return in capabilities, and you get a linear increase in capabilities.

I have no confidence at all. In fact, preventing further Russian aggression might not be Trump's goal to begin with. After all, Trump did say he would encourage Russia to invade a country that didn't pay its due.

If they have 10x cheaper compute, and a lot of cash to spare, why isn't Google dominating AI, like SpaceX is dominating the launch of satellites? Does Google not want to, or is there another reason they cannot?

It's slower than using just GPU RAM, but it's still faster than using a regular PC that has a much more limited bandwith between the main memory and the GPU. It's some sort of middle ground on how fast and how cheap you can d
