I was pretty excited about the potential for better quantum simulations (and still am) but interestingly enough, at least in specific areas like protein folding, transformers and LLMs and all have made such huge leaps over the past few year

In this case, it might not have that effect if it instead onshores money that would have been held in Ireland or Bermuda instead

That would actually be rather unexpected news given Walmart and retails reputation. Far more likely breaking news is Walmart pushes down coke margins while pushing prices up and launching a store brand soda to compete

Swap memory use is worse than actual memory use. If it just reserving a big block and not using it then fine whatever but if it's using a lot of swap that means ram is probably bottlenecking you since swap is slow.

i mean sure it's lock in, but it's lock in via technical superiority/providing features. Either someone else replicates a model of this level of capability or anyone who needs it doesn't really have a choice. I don'

Even if you're doing something with strong network effects you've got to consider cases like facebook which weren't first movers in markets where there are super strong network effects and yet still won. You're not reall

You'd get equity because you have the market power to demand it. Same way bankers can demand high bonuses etc. Everything else is negotiating tactics but at the end of the day - folks get equity because they can demand it and won'

I'm sure there was a long slippery slope to more and more brazen fraud, but for what he should have done instead that's a very very simple question to answer. He shouldn't have committed fraud. All the illegal stuff he did wi

I'm not sure how illegally sabotaging the income generating platform you're negotiating for a larger cut of would be anything other than extremely counterproductive

I'm kind of torn since I hate PR nonsense like this but I'm also glad that HIV research is still getting money and happening - you can't take for granted that there would be enough incentive for people to even keep trying in

Unfortunately there's a really high risk of issues like Simpson's paradox when you average together distinct populations like this, meaning the combined statistic/insight could actually be showing the opposite of the experien

The long term viability of the company you bought a car from absolutely matters when it's such an expensive purchase that is reliant on Tesla not only for service but also for charging. You don't know what thing you rely on might

I don't think that's a super useful number since if you're somewhere where it's easier to earn that amount, homes are likely gonna be more expensive. It would be much more interesting to know how far short the median inc

I know this is an old thread but also just remembered - what folks are describing in this thread (where it just picks the mode) is actually explicitly one of the reasons we use diffusion instead of GANs - it's called mode collapse and

I think judging based on the cover is fine when we're judging what the cover is clearly and intentionally trying to communicate to us about the book within. The pose, the unbuttoned shirt, the hair, those are all conscious choices to c

Leaving a citation needed doesn't sound like the right thing to do for the definition of something as big as reason - esp with the grammatical confusion idk what you'd even edit it to to make sense. Like what is a three evidence o

That opening for the Wikipedia article looks problematic - it's grammatically nonsense and has random numbers in it - someone should probably open a talk discussion on what happened Edit: yeah that looks like a recent edit. I thought W

Yeah, really had to study it is a great way of saying really had to confirmation bias my way into it. First time really hearing about this show and I'm trying to find real examples of pro-laizzes-faire propaganda or facial or anything

So the article in the post says paw patrol has no commerce, this paper says it's capitalist propaganda. So which is it? Socialist countries have oppressive police forces and incompetent administrators too.

So apparently shows for little kids should have serialized plot lines with redemption arcs for villains, because kids are notoriously not lovers of repetitive stories and rewatching the same show dozens of times. Also in what universe is a

Is this one that you quoted not available? That looks like a link to buy that recieiver in the parent comment, don't see anything about needing to be military or something else that would block it from being used for civilian use?

But to the point of the original question that started this thread - the takeaway is still that cloud services made development massively easier right? The answer to the original question seems to still be "Yes cloud providers did lead

No that's all fine, I mean physically, where would I put a server and stuff if we didn't have cloud providers? I'd need to pay an isp for an IP address and maybe port forward and stuff like that right? I don't get why I

Sorry not sure if I'm missing something obvious but isn't a VPS gonna be hosted by a cloud provider? How would that be an alternative to using the cloud?

There are a HUGE number of startups that would have had a massively harder time if they had to roll their own infra. Who cares if the companies eventually have to move off? (Though even Netflix seems ok with it overall for now). There are a

No because if it always produces a deterministic image it's just lookup table. The whole point is that it's generative ai, not a way to burn all the computational power to generate some summary statistics

I"m really confused by all these responses in this vein. If the model just chooses the most likely thing 100% of the time that's an entirely useless piece of software! Just use a stock photo or a bar chart and pick the mode!

by vikramkr 3y ago
Something that behaves like that would be a useless model. These models are not deterministic, llms for example have a literal temperature dial you can turn to increase randomness. If it narrows onto the idea of a single judge then what&#x2
