It doesn’t need to be a club. You can do something about it as an individual, including recruiting others when needed.

And very likely this is coming to computer vision too with multi-modal GPT.

I used to teach at a university, and am currently a manager at a tech company. It's interesting how similar these areas are in the sense that they are very hard to teach; and are currently mostly figured out from scratch from experienc

Phi-1-small also scores higher with 350M parameters. It helps to be specific about what the comparison is against when claiming SOTA.

The title is misleading This model is not "SOTA for the size", there are smaller models that do 10-18% better in absolute score. The text says it's SOTA "among similar models" where they probably compare with other

I don't see this mentioned often: One thing that interpreted languages like Python have over compiled languages is that all libraries have to be open-source by default (unless they are wrappers). It makes it a lot easier to debug and p

We have the desire to continue existing. Hopefully we can build AGI systems in a way that makes them completely ok with being paused or deleted. Otherwise they will use up resources when not helpful to humans.

Here's my experience so far: ChatGPT saves time writing short functions maybe 10-20 lines. This is maybe 10 minutes a day. ChatGPT helps start/debug things outside my domain where I would normally need to read some guides before e

If a Vim plugin could analyze what I do and suggest commands I don't already use that would save me time, that would be fantastic!

Gröbner basis methods do not scale well as the number of variables increases. The computational complexity becomes too high. Numerical Algebraic Geometry methods give the correct answer in many cases where there is a practical reason to sol

It is tempting to believe that category theory will shed new light on and simplify machine learning, just like it did in algebraic geometry, algebraic topology and other mathematical things. This is wishful thinking. Folks who care about do

Short term, a couple of things come to my mind: Pretty soon, real ID will be needed to post / get visibility on most social media. Productivity / efficiency gains in some white collar jobs like customer service. Fewer jobs but rem

I was in a similar situation 10 years ago, but in a less well-paid job :) I happened on a musician's talk about how to be a productive musician. He was saying that his most important suggestion was to "write everyday". It see

I use a program called Latexdraw that gives the best of both worlds. You can draw with the GUI and get pstricks code and use latex expressions and math fonts. (Free, author accepts donations) http://latexdraw.sourceforge.net&#x2

It's not clear why Z needs to be undisclosed and it makes it harder to give you advice. I second people talking about the 'regret minimization framework'. It sounds like you will be studying something technical. Look up big t

Exercise is the killer app for VR. If they figure out full body tracking too, they will give (and capture) a ton of value.

I had the same issue at first, but I was able to overcome it by being careful to not fully extend my elbows and using the jab less often.

If “accuracy” measures how well a player matches computer chess, then as players continue to study more and more with chess programs, you would expect their play to match the programs more and more. Personally I find it odd to measure how w

I’m sure any replacement CEO would love a pay structure where the guaranteed comp is 25% but the bonus matches founder gains.

Being the first one to claim a formal proof to a theorem is not the most important thing. What's really important is to prove things that improve our understanding, which both Goedel and Turing have done, in the fields of logic and com

What I would like: Infinite tabs, they don’t get too small in the tab bar, newer ones to the right, older ones can be accessed by scrolling left. Older than last 15 don’t take up memory. Tabs get saved into disk/cloud and reappear when
