Kids glued to "fun" (addictive) video games on their phones is not wealth, it is the feeder channel for these "efficient" health "care" schedulers, in your other example.

When I was growing up 90-ies, a mix of using public metro and buses to roam the city (since I was in second grade, when I was allowed to take metro to do afterschool karate) and spending summers in various countryside locations where my gra

It feels like to really censor the model it needs to be pre-trained on a distribution of data derived from a well defined and synthetic source, like TinyStories. Otherwise... world model would still be capable of modeling the original distr

What if it is a 99% chance of being transformational and the results of that transformation are completely unpredictable?

Two decades ago, in the Bay Area we used to have a lot of books stores, specialized, chains, children's, grade school, college slugbooks, etc. Places like Fry's had a coffee and a book store inside. The population grew, number o

Yes, this is true. There used to be a lot of local book stores, for example. Amazon optimized that away, while ruining social fabric.

In that case, it's great that Microsoft is building their silicon. Keeps NVIDIA in check, otherwise these profits would evaporate into nonsense and NVIDIA would lose the AI industry to competition from China. Which, depending if AGI&

There was a nice video, I've seen at some point where a "DJI Phantom 3 drone gets hit with an electrical impulse of 1.4MV - basically, a lightning strike." And at the end, they were able to protect the drone, with a tiny bit

That's an interesting argument, about believing in something greater than themselves. But what, if that belief happens to be outdated? This had happened before. I'm not into demographics planning. But I do have two kids, girls.

This is great to hear. Churches are often in the prime real estate areas, it'd be great, if the attendance / donations would fall to zero. And if these places would be redeveloped into open-for-all urban green islands. Rather than

This is a marketing effort to advertise and promote use of their tech. Nothing wrong with it, nothing to see here.

It's interesting that an AI doesn't necessarily need to carry the model of the actual physical world around them, it can be any imaginary one. While biological systems (or other physical agents) do need to model the world around t

It's notable that one of the more successful AI products (GitHub Copilot) was not built with throwing the money at a problem or a large team. It was built by a small team, in a right place of a large company. And they were periodically

You are saying that you don't care. There are people who care. He does and brings in good reasons why the defaults shouldn't be spurious alarms and noise.

Feminism, like other -isms (communism, etc) are misaligned at the core. I'd say, feminism would be best to be erased, like other -isms.

More recent models are not without drive and are not stupid either. There’s still quite a bit of a gap in terms of trust.

You can compare best image synthesis and image understanding from two decades ago (SIFT / HOG), from a decade ago (CNN, SdA) and now (Transformer). Very rapid progress that went from being able to unreliability recognize a face to gett

They did. They’ve just released codex (CLI client). They don’t have access to copilot users in general, Microsoft and Google does. And perhaps they are realizing that Microsoft is hedging them over multiple LLM providers and maybe no longer

Yes, it’s particularly bad when the information found on the web is flawed. For example, I’m not a domain expert, but I was looking for an RC motor for a toy project and OpenAI had happily tried to source a few, with Deep Research. Only the

Nice, next step could be rolling out that bytecode compiler in Python, so it’s self-contained. And a port to some LLM-on-silicon, so we could have it executing Python as the inference goes :-P

The other countries could have tried less corruption and fewer palaces and yachts for their nobility. And a few more opportunities to earn a decent lifestyle with nothing, but a brain and hard work.
