Also, producing gasoline is not "free". It takes energy to produce and deliver that gasoline to your car. Numbers I've seen are 5 ~ 8kWh, that's 20-30 miles of electric driving. Depending on your gasoline car's effi

You know, like lawyers that present motions full of made-up case law in court? "In a cringe-inducing court hearing, a lawyer who relied on A.I. to craft a motion full of made-up case law said he “did not comprehend” that the chat bo

But is that really what you want to happen IN GOVERNMENT ? For bureaucracy to adapt even mildly flawed technology?! Bureaucracy + blind trust in hierarchy/computers = Kafka-esque hellscape. "I'm sorry sir, but the computer c

Apple's M1 in the MB Air is 10W TDP afaik. The PSU would be more constrained space-wise but it'd probably get somewhere about as hot as the passive cooled MBA at full load.

My guess is that established companies (esp. those with existing offices) will require on-site work, new companies without will more likely not... more flexibility for founders and reduced costs if they believe in remote. That should leave

Maybe a fire safety violation? I think windows can count as escape routes and probably need to be open able quickly.

I think it's just an attempt to stop "grey-market" imports if I had to guess and this old lens just got swept up in the dragnet. They're probably (ab-?)using ebay's IP protection systems though. Manufacturers someti

The "win matrix" (dissimilarity Matrix) seems very interesting, looks eg like Vicuna13b paired against gpt4 wins 20% of the time. Larger difference than I'd have guessed based on scores.

Imo that would leave Italy and Spain and their respective union members in the dust competing against the US, China and India. But maybe that's worth it, or maybe the Brexit will turn out great like pg said due to them not having strin

It does sound good on the surface. Equality for all. Right? Only selectively. But nice touch invoking immorality. Is it moral to fly around the US and the world while the guy that's hiring the chef that cooks your food stays grounded?

This feels like the epitome of capitalist short-sightedness. There must be a way to build loyalty with your pilots by treating them well during the downturns and spending more on training pilots? It feels like there are massive layoffs and

Drum brakes have been around for a century, afaik they're more robust than discs but "lower performance". These look like a variation on a pretty standard design at first scan.

So I was wondering why they'd openly admit in a WSJ article that they've "watered down" their furniture and are doubling down on their reputation for flimsy particle-board and paper construction. Also, I've observed

Classic attention is quadratic in context length and faster alternatives seem to not perform as well, wonder how Hyena is in comparison to linear attention algorithms.

Not what I'm seeing from the linked map -- I see a 179 in the US and doubt the average is >180 in Europe? Eye-balling it, Europe looks about comparable to the East-Coast numbers, maybe +10. Also, afaict that map shows recent, "

But what are you mostly "teaching" the LLM then? Mundane everyday stuff? I guess that would make them better at "being average human" but is that what we want? It already seems that prompting the LLM to be above-average

Something about this also makes me feel a bit, hmm, I guess "concerned". I know SpaceX is very efficient and that they hustle to a degree, but their launch site looks very "min-viable" (at best). I hope this does not and

In fact, it's probably a lot worse. EVs need better aero to extract as much range as possible out of the batteries due to the lower energy density.

Did they release the merged weights, yet? I'd love to try this model. Afaict from the docs, you still need to request the original Llama weights from Meta (or get ahold of them another way), then apply the diff-weights requiring 60GB R

Not as far as I can tell? Any examples? Also, YC seed isn't gonna get you very far when compute alone for training an LLM is in the millions currently.

As far as I've seend the X1s lidar is mostly useless, it's doing fine-calibration at most based on the current filament profile and seems to be inconsistent. That's not to say that the X1 itself is - just that lidar is imho a

Taking the title literally... that's more than 5% of the world-wide working age population -- I'd be surprised if that wouldn't cause luddite riots. But there are a lot of weasel words in the article and even the headline has

Thanks, I love hard numbers. The world bank currently pegs working age population 15-64 at 5.12B, so that'd mean chatgpt would put nearly 6% of the working age population out of a job (ofc depending on your definition of "displace
