Recently I was at the doctor for a very minor sports injury ("tennis leg"). The doctor — who was in his 50s — was explaining the degrees of the injury to me, and quoted ChatGPT as the source, along the lines of "ChatGPT usual

This is well known, old news. I would not call him a crank, he's just an "independent physicist". He is a very successful and wealthy businessman thanks to Mathematica, with $100Ms of wealth presumably, and he choses to do ph

Maybe I'm an oddball, but I've always thought this: if a cool company wants to hire me but isn't sure, give me a 3-6 month fixed contract and LFG. There's zero doubt in my mind it would work out. And if not, so what, I&#

I don't get this. Models have become a commodity, hardware not so much; why would Nvidia care? It's the models who are competing primarily, not hardware manufacturers. Also, models are software, so easy to switch out. AI hardware

This would be interesting if each of them had a high-level picture of the NN, "to scale", perhaps color coding the components somehow. OnMouseScroll it would scroll through the models, and you could see the networks become deeper,

I'm a big fan of Amazon (UAE), in the sense that I buy stuff from Amazon almost every week. Having said that, in the last year or so, I found myself returning items more and more often. I get books damaged in shipping, wrong color item

Working at a non-tech regional bigco, where ofc cloud is the default, I see everyday how AWS costs get out of hand, it's a constant struggle just to keep costs flat. In our case, the reality is that NONE of our services require scalabi

Promotions are always discussed in the context of "How to get promoted?". In my opinion, an important angle is left out of these discussion and conversations: do you really want to get promoted? is it worth it? To make it simple b

This is false: "There are no hungarian intellectuals over 40 who aren’t openly racist." Yes, there is a fair amount of under-the-grass (sometimes over) anti-semitism in Hungary (and many other European countries), as well as racis
