The difference is sources. Sabine shows her sources prominently on screen, with searchable citations to find the original. She makes it clear in her phrasing whether she's paraphrasing a source, or passing her own judgement. It's

I've seen similar reactions and I can't help but think she's intentionally communicating provocatively to make people engage their brains. You shouldn't just "take her seriously", you should take what she says

The patients know this. Asking for consent would still yield the vast majority of the data. It would also mean more people analyzing it - I know at least one big pharma company that won't touch patient data that was taken without conse

I've had 2 sets of AirPods die because of the batteries aging and losing their ability to hold a charge. Though to be fair, their microphones failed much earlier then their batteries, and noise cancelling gets some really annoying fail

The *GLU-based activations functions like GEGLU and SwiGLU use 2 input values to produce 1 output value, which makes these numbers weird. In each value pair, one goes through the GELU/SiLU activation function and is then multiplied by

Thank you very much for releasing these models! It's great to see Google enter the battle with a strong hand. I'm wondering if you're able to provide any insight into the below hyperparameter decisions in Gemma's archite

If it was cheaper, or part of a bundle, or included unlimited API access, I'd consider it. GPT4's high price is always in the back of my mind when I use it. But does Bard really qualify as the second best? Gemini Pro is pretty bad

One can also make a model to learn the necessary context length for each layer and head to save a huge amount of FLOPs: https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.07799

Actually, blood pressure is the determiner of whether high intake of salt is bad for you. High sodium intake is only associated with increased risk in people with high blood pressure. However, having too little sodium is associated with inc

This was an expected step of the evolution of the Memory Hierarchy. RAM is just bigger-but-slower CPU cache. Swapfile is just bigger-but-slower RAM. There's always a trade-off between size and speed. Incorporating RAM into the CPU pack

The Murdoch news empire has fluctuated between 5 and 6 on that scale for as long as I can remember. Not trying to excuse Facebook and Twitter's behavior here, but let's not let social media become a scapegoat while News Corp conti

That's a symptom of bad healthcare systems. In the UK, I didn't have to pay anything for refills of concerta. In NZ, I only had to pay the GP who gave me a referral to a free psychiatrist for methylphenidate and dexamphetamine sul

Why is Dart able to run so much faster than JS? The Dart team came from the V8 team, and presumably they're still involved in V8. I'd expect any optimizations that were developed for Dart and were applicable to JS would be backported into t
