GPT-3 is (the process of) general AI being born in front of our eyes, catching us unprepared, making us realize that the we may be a bit rigid in understanding of what intelligence really means. If primed correctly, can GPT-3 produce wort

Okay. But how do we determine if something is logical? At the very least we have to abstractly infer and compare with what we have been taught is logic (because hardcoding it manually doesn't map to the [hierarchical] intricacies of re

If prediction cannot replace reasoning, then how would you define reasoning? If reasoning is the process of inference of the most likely from the most similar known, then how does the multi-head attention transformer not fit that desc

The transformer model as presented in GPT-3 may be a few tweaks away from a human-acceptable reasoning, at which point we may realize that human brain is just a neat party trick as well. This may come difficult for some people to internaliz

I think most of us would agree that all drugs (drug use) should be decriminalized. But even if you go as far as to imagine the Mexican cartels being (eventually) legitimate businesses, the strong competition between them would not subside,

From the point of UI / UX, I cannot think of a worse software than Skype (all platforms including Android). It's always a hard struggle, effort and suffering to make a call to a phone number, even if this phone number is in the co

I only use the web version. The native version is a resource hog (or was, when I last tried to use it). The network connection quality on Slack calls seems to be very lacking compared to other call apps.

I wonder what the GPT-3[1] has to say about this. While it can't exhibit reasoning, I wouldn't bet that it is completely off the path getting there. Call me crazy but I think we are about a year from first general reasoning algori

The good. To have 100% reliable Kafka, your data (both transfer and storage) needs bot replicated by the factor of 3 (you will need to transfer and store 3 copies of all your data). Pulsar will happily do with just 2x. Next, thanks to the &

It is worse than just crazy. Government is made of people, and people are corruptible. If the encryption backdoor key leaks from the government to a bad actor, it will create a "national security" issue of magnitude never seen bef

There seems to be an ongoing work for Vulcan Compute support for Tensorflow. But the mlir repo moved at the end of 2019 and I don't see where (or if) the discussion and PR continue, because the new repo doesn't even use Github Iss

Deno is a JavaScript runtime built in Rust, so I guess it depends what you mean by "types". Definitely not a strong typing, although the example could be rewritten to TypeScript, which Deno supports natively. I use Deno sometimes,

I've tried to parse those test files in Deno (in a very rudimentary test[1]), the results (on my i9-9980HK @ 2.40GHz) are: canada.json --> 31 ms, 73 MB/s citm_catalog.json --> 13 ms, 135 MB/s

What's the difference between thinking that you are conscious, and actually being conscious? How can we define our perception of being conscious? Is it simply the ability to observe our own thinking (or feeling, or perceiving) process?

Why do we open new tabs? 1. We want to do multiple things at once (very rare, very limited, let's say we have 5 such things, Gmail, Slack, Gitlab, monitoring, etc.) 2. We want to have websites preloaded and ready to go as soon as we ge
