haha it’s a shame the level of effort in his paper reviews has really gone downhill, this one was especially so.

Is anyone else bothered by the close/minimize/maximize buttons in the upper left corner which are there for no apparent reason other than to associate with macos’ design?

It’s true you can start small and scale up, but it still would probably take many years to accumulate enough batteries to make a significant difference. Secondly, it doesn’t make 20 years to build a modern nuclear power plant, 5 years is a

realistically building batteries or thermal storage at that scale will probably take as long as nuclear plants

It’s not even close. Banks provide so many services. your bank could be using a cryptocurrency as their backend, and you wouldn’t even know. the technology has almost zero impact to the user experience or efficiency. sorry

It's even better than that, the stock split three times.

I think it’d more accurate to say all interactions with the stock market exist on a spectrum between gambling and creating real value, depending on your strategy.

For anyone looking for cheap gpus (quite a bit cheaper than this even), I highly recommend the marketplace on vast.ai I’ve spent hundreds of dollars there and will spend many more.

“it can detect patterns among an O(n) input size without requiring an O(n^2) size neural net” This might be misleading, the amount of computation for processing a sequence size N with a vanilla transformer is still N^2. There has been recen

The monster's AI is amusing to read, and its behavior has a surprising amount of depth. Really explains its scary, clever and unpredictable nature. It has over 15 different behavior states: Idle, GoHome, Wait, Patrol, Investigate,

Gpt-3 is just one of openai's many projects. Theres ~20 authors on the paper, and they all almost certainly did not spend a full year on this project. So 300m is completely wrong.

I'm not sure what your engineering experience is, but I'm pretty certain that >80% of engineers are not in a position to refuse to work and quit their job without a severe impact on their career. And the same goes for managers

"Engineering ethics" is a fallacy as it implies that engineers have high level influence on the goals set by organizations. If lockheed martin trained all of its missile engineers in ethics would they suddenly start building bombs

Yes, this is exactly how it will go down I think. Somewhere I read a great analysis which said this was the opposite of "disruptive innovation", but instead this type of innovation will primarily reinforce the positions of the inc

I'm more curious to see what happens when single developers are able to launch products which are vastly better than existing solutions, using just a couple days of effort.

You're right,cuda is only officially supported to run on an nvidia gpu, not cpu or anywhere else.

2048 neurons per layer isn't really an accurate description, what he means is 2048 dimensional embeddings at each layer. The actual multihead attention layers in a transformer are not just feed forward 2048*2048, but actually have many
