Tesla also has its own NPUs for self-driving - and Tesla uses transformers for sensor fusion. My guess would be that the main use case for an NPU in iPhone just used to be image processing/computational photography. Thus the CNN bent.

Humans had to get it drilled into them that "+12 -440" is a damn good line stat, and that keeping around dead code is bad, especially in the age of version control. Not too surprised that LLMs also don't "get it" by

I almost never want to talk to an AI, because text is better for almost anything. But it's nice to have that "almost" corner case covered, no? Not to mention all the current "telephone bots" applications that could

There are processes for teaching a model specific facts or specific behaviors. Including "respond to topic X with Y", if that's what you want. You could make a model that doesn't want to engage in "lunar landing was

Yeah, it's good that open weights models can have their "filters" busted fairly reliably. Unlike whatever bone Anthropic has to pick with the very idea of biology. But that's a consequence of how the technology works - n

And China controls AI too. It's just that their idea of "safety" is "ideological safety", and their idea of "alignment" is "alignment to the party line". They're cool with open weight AIs be

Enabling more "proof of concept phase" projects to exist is one of the great boons of AI. If code is expensive, you don't want to commit to a PoC unless you're damn sure. If dirty code is cheap, you can vibe code a PoC e

If you're doing non-redundant tests and your uncertainty bars aren't shrinking, it's usually a skill issue. If it looks like a duck, it might be a duck - or a painting of one. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and q

I mean, how else would those buttons work? It's explicitly feedback data. And "this is good" or "this is bad" is empty if divorced from what "this" actually is.

Camera blocks take internal volume. Smaller phones have less internal volume to spend - while still having to pack all the non-negotiables like the modem and the SoC into it. Something's got to give. And no one want that something to b

As a rule: feedback loops are overrated. They are, in fact, included in the projections - we'd be on track to ~2C by 2100 instead of ~3C by 2100 if they weren't. They just aren't that big. There is no "Make Earth Into Ve

Apple tried at AI integration and fumbled the bag repeatedly. In 2010s, they were among the "greats" of consumer AI. After 2022, they kept trying, and just had delays and underperformance. I don't think their actions now are

Yes, I do. IPCC's reports are sensible. They're not unreliable just because they don't support the "doom and burning land" narratives. By the way, there is no "just realized we're missing 1.5C". That

We're not even looking at 5C of warming by 2100 realistically. Like, that was considered to be an unlikely extreme scenario in 2014 AR5, and also in the tightened down 2021 AR6, and things have happened since! Renewables are cheaper th

"Destroying the ecosystem" is just FUD. And if you don't find "average AI research intern" impressive, I'm not sure what to tell you. Have the goalposts moved so far that open ended problem solving at "ave

"Quality of engagement" is as hard to measure as "length of engagement" is easy.

"Find someone to blame" is such a worthless thing. Whip the sea all day long - the waves don't care. Modern AI has more in common with an ocean wave than it does with a hammer or a gun. It does its own things. It doesn't

You gave the tree the ability to fall when you decided to plant it. It wouldn't have that ability if you didn't. And we already know that trees can fall, don't we? That doesn't make you inherently responsible for the tre

by ACCount37 10d ago
Nope! If a tree was healthy and there was no reason to expect that it would fall, and you did nothing to make it fall? Then you're not responsible if it falls anyway. You're only responsible if it was you chopping it down - or if

The problem is, AI is closer to "a loosely harnessed force of nature" or "a poorly understood biochemical reaction" than it is to "software" in how it acts, and how predictable it is. AIs do what they do, and w

Yeah this is just the effect of SpaceX showcasing "space launch is no longer the realm of government efforts only". They kicked off the wave of commercial space launch - and now, it reached the EU too.

From "a connected fleet", I expected some form of direct model to model communications - like a small model being able to peer into the KV cache of a large model directly for guidance signal.

"Online identity" seems like a castle built on quicksand in every single case. What's your account tied to? E-mail? That's usually on a mail server owned by someone else. If not, it's still on a domain owned by some

ARC-AGI was never "if this benchmark is saturated, we're at AGI". It was always about crafting adversarial tests that humans are good at, but current AIs are bad at. Point out the gap, get AI teams to attack them. In practica

Westworld is such a time capsule. It's not even that old - but back when it was aired, an AI that can not just string together coherent sentences, but produce coherent reactions in novel, fully unintended contexts, like Maeve was doing

Pirating books is just straight up morally correct. I don't like Anthropic's bullshit "safety" filters, but training on shadow library data? Yeah no, it makes sense. It makes a lot more sense than having to work around c

It's a promising approach - and the demo goes to show just how advanced and robust "3D from 2D" reconstruction is now. Dedicated depth sensors used to be a must on advanced robotics platforms - the only way to get anything cl
