What I had in mind was more like self-defence. The attack would only be carried out so long as the copyright offender is attempting to leech.

I opened Node.js and did setInterval(() => console.log(Date.now()), 1); to watch the transition. Happy 1.7B seconds since Jan 1 1970!

I would transform the most commonly occurring formats programmatically. The rest could probably be handled by GPT-3. Alternatively, divide the task between as many cloud VMs hosting something like LLaMa as it takes to fit your time constrai

Working with python environments made me sorry for all the times I may have complained about the Node.js way of doing things.

If a copyright holder/advocacy group decided to DDoS IPs engaged in seeding/leeching of copyrighted material, or to to intentionally seed ransomware posing as the copyrighted work... do you think they would get away with it in the

That's an interesting word. I assume it's when a large company buys your startup just to have access to the talent, without much regard for the startup's product? What sorts of offers do they make to the founders?

>distributed training networks Now that's an idea. One bottleneck might be a limit on just how much you can parallelize training, though.

I love Wikipedia. It's my favourite website of all time. However, to say that "fringe" editors were largely driven out is false. In many places, "fringe" editors co-operate to win edit wars and form secret voting bl

Interesting, thanks for sharing. This situation creates a market for new fraud-detection products, if anything just so that the banks can tell the regulator that they did their due diligence. Of course it depends on how common situations li

Stop trolling. Everything I said is true. The very expensive drugs you're seeing in the US are generally ones that won't be available in Europe for a long time, no matter how much money you bring to the table. If you really want t

I wonder whether the average person ends up spending more than the requested €9.99/month on products and services they discovered through FB/IG and wouldn't have considered otherwise.

The FDA's press release didn't say anything about the success rate, only that the test group had significantly lower levels of depression than the control group. It's true that a lot of antidepressants fail to improve symptom

Unless they're so small that you taking out your money results in them experiencing liquidity issues.

I agree that this is the case for GPT-3.5, at least subjectively. However, with GPT-4 Turbo, it seems that performance has improved. If they got it to be faster using quantization, then they must have also found a way to offset any resultin

The silver lining is that the media hype probably got a lot of people interested in physics and materials science. Some of them will undoubtedly go on to make great discoveries and contributions to the field in the future.

Back in April it would only generate a handful of tokens per second. The speed improvements for GPT-4 are staggering. I wonder how much of it is because Microsoft is making GPUs rain on OpenAI, and how much of it is due to improvements to t

They'll try to dissuade you even if they know the transaction is legitimate.

Given that human breast milk can be (imperfectly) substituted, the benefits clearly outweigh the cost regarding depression and suicide. Even more so when you factor in the possible health and QoL ramifications for children who lost their mo

Then take the success probability and multiply it by the value a woman would expect from being free of PPD. I'd wager it's still considerably higher than $16k.

Doctors and the sick have to find out about your drug somehow.

The women suffering from postpartum depression are presumably getting way more than $16k in value from the treatment. Furthermore, developing drugs and bringing them to market is a long, expensive process.

Banks have an incentive to create as many roadblocks as possible to prevent you from transferring out large sums of money.

If you told me 6 months ago that it was possible to get this level of performance out of 7B parameters I would have laughed. Absolutely incredible.
