I used a Surface Pro for 6 years and and haven’t missed the touch screen once since switching back to MBP 3 years ago. I would have missed the handwriting input but that’s what a low end iPad is for.

Sorry what is the thing I want in this case? No stuttering or no crashing?

This happens whenever I load up one of our PyTorch models on my M1 MBP 16gb too. I also hate the part where if the model (or any other set of programs) uses too much RAM the whole system will sometimes straight up hang and then crash due to

To be clear, my use of the word “photorealistic” instead of “accurate” was very intentional.

Even with antibiotics strep really sucks for kids (painful!) and parents (kid needs to stay home from school). Seems like there would be obvious demand. The article says the FDA banned testing for like 40 years due to a tiny issue during a

This isn’t true in any way we could reasonably reach. The world has an insane amount of potential food output. A huge portion of the food the US produces goes directly in the trash instead of being used.

While this is understandable, the unfortunate issue was that Apple could be coerced into adding images certain authoritarian governments didn’t like to the list. Though imo it’s all moot if iCloud Photos aren’t end to end encrypted anyway.

Wouldn't that require exfiltrating the original photo? I remember them swearing that wasn't part of the deal.

AI gets backpropagation whereas evolution is more like particle swarm optimization (pick a bunch of random values, then pick more random values near the ones that do best). Backpropagation is way better/faster since in expectation the

Exactly what the labels want, since if that type of thing keeps going their way they will soon own not just every song like they currently do, but every future song forever.

Copyright means you own the right to reproduce a given work. It doesn't mean you own the ideas behind that work. If that were true, then all of modern music would instantly be a copyright violation.

Yeah, I wonder whether this still saves compute if you include the compute used to train DINOV2/whatever representation model you'd like to use?

As someone who has done a bunch of large scale ML on hyperscaler hardware I will say the uptime is nowhere near 99.9999%. Given a cluster of only a few hundred GPUs one or multiple failures is a near certainty to the point where we spend

Don’t forget Apple’s GamePortingToolkit based on Crossover/Wine and the open source client for it Whisky. I think it supports most games Linux Proton does now.

World Labs’ (Lee’s company) stated goal is to “[build] Large World Models to perceive, generate, and interact with the 3D world.” Imo video models are the closest thing we have to “spatial intelligence.” They generate in three dimensions (2

Google still has an unbelievable training infrastructure advantage. The second they can figure out how to convert that directly to model performance without worrying about data (as the o1 blog post seemed to imply OAI had) they’ll be kings.
