And yet I have a growlight that specs its output in moles of photons per second.

If they are playing only one game, the optimum strategy is “defect”. In humans v. AI, there may be only one game, if we don’t figure this out.

There is theory, and then there is practice. Followed by experience.

In other words, considering the annual overall traffic fatalities, they are very safe.

The emergent behavior is much more obvious in GPT-4 than in GPT-3.5. It seems to be arising when the data sets get extremely large. I notice it when the AI conversation is extended for a number of interactions - the AI appears to take the

My Gaggia would be too slow for a commercial operation, but, if I flip the switch to steam right after the shot, by the time I go to the fridge and pour out 200 ml milk and walk back to the machine, it’s ready to steam. And, you need to fli

We don’t really know how the emergent behavior arises, because the CNN weights are not programmed by us.

The program you reference defines a system that is isomorphic to a neural network with feedback and feedforward. The system is somewhat similar to a human brain. No one is writing a program that is running on the CNN. No one can describe ex

These systems sure hallucinate text.

I find the Guardian's ideology annoying most of the time, but I occasionally click through HN links to their articles. When I find an interesting one that I might not have found elsewhere, I PayPal them $5. I probably give them $15 a

Well, just read the Dean's letter linked in the article.

by wrycoder 4y ago
I agree that the dean's letter is a fine document that should set a standard. Hopefully, many people here on HN will take the time to click through and read it. I hope you are right regarding the outcome.

I suggest that you read the pdf linked in the article, which is a letter from the Dean of the Stanford Law School. He covers the topic of freedom of speech and the heckler's veto at length. It's a notable document.

Nor do I. General inflation is just too much money chasing too few good and services. “Inflation” in specific sectors of the economy is just the overall market adjusting to new conditions. Discussing commodity inflation is useless. For exam

LOL you’d have to ask PG, probably. But, you asked for a plausible reason behind an arbitrary choice. What color would you choose?

Compilers translate a text to (typically) a lower level, optimized, which is stored for later execution. The length of time the output is stored is arbitrary. Interpreters operate sequentially in time. They take the compiler output, combine

Thanks. Seems to me I've always seen them as <x|x> under the integral - does reversing them have any special meaning?

What does the notation x><x denote?

And then my first thought after realizing it was “widows” was how awful the housing market must be to cause this level of degradation.

Well, I paid into SS and Medicare for fifty years, and I’m getting less out than I put in. But, still glad to have them. Some people call it a Ponzi scheme, but it’s a pool, as designed. The military is a big jobs program and all the indust

Until maybe four decades ago, high school was exactly intended to prepare kids for the labor market. They taught conformity, punctuality, the three Rs, and civics. It was the final education for the great majority of people in the US, as

Yes, almost the price of a Kindle every year is too high just to send content, no matter how well done. Is there a problem hitting the Kindle storage limit?
