Articles like this pop up often on HN but I don't think they can lead to genuine comprehension. Doubtful that people outside ML circles will dive into Mamba or analogous architectures if they supplant transformers. They're just ha

It's not quite as bad, but for this price in 2024, you'd expect better than having no peripheral vision. Having tried many headsets, I'd rate the Vision Pro's FOV as mid-tier at best.

I got the Vision Pro, and I'm quite sure that replacing desktop monitors at home or in an office is not something people will want to do. The technology isn't there yet. It's heavy, the external battery and its cable are obtr

How has the technology been available for decades? There are many requirements for useful headsets beyond just strapping a low-resolution screen to each eye. Even the Vision Pro at $3500+ isn't quite there yet: it's heavy, externa

Umm, did you read about this study? It was widely criticized for a very good reason. They administered a dose of ketamine/placebo when the participants were in surgery and under general anesthesia. Not what's commonly done, and it

A 43'' 4K monitor in the middle and two 28" 16:18 LG DualUp monitors on the sides is my recommendation for an unparalleled setup for a large desk.

The viewer app for the Sony 3D monitor imports glTF files without any processing, and I can confirm that it displays effectively in actual 3D.

Without this ability, forums would quickly be overrun with spam, propaganda, and extreme trolling. They would all shut down or have no normal users. This has been tried before and it's unworkable.

Oh the irony of writing this on a forum that would likely be shut down without Section 230...

To those who observe the field from the outside, this might seem like an unjustified attack, but it is also 100% true. Unfortunately, many are afraid to say it because they fear for their careers.

Interesting result, but I wish they hadn't used scheduled appointments as the content of the note. I don't write down scheduled appointments because I want to have them stored in my mind, quite the opposite. It would be much more

If you have a background in ML, then yes, a paper is almost always better. I've recommended papers over sources like Towards Data Science etc. here. However, for laypeople, I doubt it would be as effective - they'd need to look up

Energy may be abundant in the universe, but the energy we produce is limited. And for example, solar energy requires extensive land use. Humans have the option to shut down AI, and this alone can create an antagonistic relationship if the A

Indeed. I'm concerned about the safety of future AGI systems, but China is why I wouldn't advocate for a unilateral pause or slowdown.

No. Foom is not needed. You could make a weak argument that AI training will be compute-limited but AI inference is of course much cheaper.

Huh? Do you think it's impossible to create a bot that profits from trading various markets? It's been done many times, so obviously, it's possible. There are already bots that use LLMs to trade based on SEC filings, etc.

The pre-open market doesn't see it as a big win for MSFT. The stock is still lower than it was at Friday's open.

Important to note that this is only about summarization. Confabulations could happen in other ways. Likely correlated but raw numbers don't mean much.
