If these values really meant anything, then Anthropic should stop working with Palantir entirely given their work with ICE, domestic surveilance, and other objectionable activities.

PyTorch was partly inspired by the python Autograd library (circa 2015 [1]) to the point where they called their autodiff [2] system "autograd" [3]. Jax is the direct successor of the Autograd library and several of the Autograd d

Direct indexing is WAY more valuable to US citizens living in the EU than US citizens living in the USA because of the painful intersection of MiFID II rules and US tax law (PFIC tax cancer makes buying EU domiciled funds a non-starter). Br

Igor Markov, along with Sat Chatterjee, seem to be pursuing a bizarre vendetta (after Sat failed to take over their project) against the lead authors of the chip placement work, not some sort of intellectually honest critique. This was cove

"The AlexNet paper is generally recognized as the paper that sparked the field of Deep Learning" Uh not really. That would have been "A fast learning algorithm for deep belief nets" in 2006. Also weird how this list comp

Going from 25% top-one error to 22% top-one error is a massive jump on ImageNet and very meaningful in a lot of applications. That said, there is no reason to believe attention-based models are the only way forward on image classification.

Julia provides no meaningful advantages. PyTorch and JAX are too good. For typical deep learning workloads, Julia will not easily have a speed advantage. Everything goes down to the same cuDNN kernels anyway. Julia seems like an attempt at

There are plenty of free, open access journals that are reputable. JMLR http://www.jmlr.org/ is quite successful. There are some fields, such as machine learning, that are not dominated by for-profit journals. Why is this p

Execution quality matters and given enough order flow a they can still match client orders to make a profit without giving a worse price than NBBO.

In 2009 NVIDIA wouldn't give Geoff Hinton's group the time of day, let alone a single free GPU to try out to see if they wanted to buy more. Geoff Hinton spoke at a NIPS keynote in 2009 and told 1000 people in the audience to all

I heard there were layoffs of engineers there. But obviously unrelated. OpenAI will continue unchanged.

I'm sure many AI experts at these places view it negatively. These are not monolithic organizations, but massive companies filled with real people with varying opinions.

The singularity cult is real. The geek rapture will occur when they blog about someone else making God in a Box hard enough to drown out the normal charlatans. Please fund their blogging, it is the most impactful way you can spend your mone

Also perhaps machine learning experts are paid well enough in industry research labs in tech companies that the difference isn't perceived as that large given the diminishing marginal utility of money.

I would love to read an approach to effective political giving. Does anyone know of such a document? If the effective altruism movement had focussed on political action and donations instead of private charity to supply bed nets we might ha

Jürgen maintains a lot of sock-puppet accounts (even on wikipedia and amazon reviews). Let's see if any of them show up in this thread. He is a perfectly good researcher and his students have done a lot of excellent work, but I don&#x2

It is probably hard for companies like skymind with no recognized experts. Getting a big name on board isn't always possible however. And investors are right to be leery given the number of people branding themselves as deep learning e

More like 2006, although there were convnets and other neural nets working well long before then of course. It just took several years for the techniques from the papers in the scientific rivial to make their way into products. The vision c

You seem very angry about my comment. I'm not sure why. Roughly 14% of NIPS attendees are women and OpenAI seems to be doing worse than that very low threshold for its research staff. If they want the best candidates, they need to work

I wish OpenAI would work harder to hire more women on their research staff specifically.
