This seems highly misleading to me. In no world are LLMs the kind of neural net you talk about. You grossly misrepresent how they work by pretending they are entirely built of fully connected layers.

You can't simultaneously have an open market for shares and highly regulated financial duties that protect investors. It would be better if there were options for employees to cash out part of equity in intermediate rounds and there a

I'm not arguing there shouldn't be two states. I see the best path forward as likely Israel existing as a Jewish state and Palestine existing as a Muslim state. I don't think either side has a majority population willing to

Do you really think this is possible? Can you name a single state in the world with a majority muslim population that hasn't adopted any laws based on religion or passed any laws that discriminate against non-muslims? Do you think it&#

Current salary structure has the minimum salary at: $750,000 for a rookie, $870,000 for 1 year experience and $940,000 for 2 years experience. That's $2,560,000 over three years before taxes. It's good money but it's probab

Both are problems here but politicians in Texas write the laws in ways that try and protect the taxpayer often entirely denying victims the ability to sue negligent organizations. In this case there is a company without immunity that did so

I think the cracking down on incompetent elites that aren't that elite is something Republicans feel should be left to the market to decide. I don't think it's an easy sell to argue the government should shut down an entire

It seems kind of obvious that if you explicitly exclude medicine jobs from STEM you end up with a low % of biology grads in STEM. My experience at University was that 80% of Biology as a program was doing it as pre-med.

I think they gave you a clear answer to the difference: The Web Standards Committee has decided the correct way for the web to work is that there is an expectation that a user understands how to bookmark something and can elect to do so if

This seems like the worst possible way of answering the question. I'd be much more interested in looking at this company by company within a vertical. Knowing that the teleworkability of software engineering is 80% and that software e

As someone who initially started my career in academia I've been much happier since leaving. There are opportunities across industrial R&D that are far saner in terms of compensation and while they are slightly more restrictive in

Most instances of a class of problems that are NP-hard are in fact easy. Usually NP-hard is something resembling exponential blow-up in a problematic edge case.

I guess it depends how much you like paperbacks but they were fairly good at getting me to buy hardcovers because I wanted something right when it came out and didn't want to wait for a paperback. At $40/hardcover $400 is less th

The US is fairly good at creating high GDP per capita. They are 8th behind: Luxembourg, Singapore, Ireland, Norway, Qatar, UAE and Switzerland. Of those nations: Norway, Qatar and UAE are highly dependent on oil profits and Luxembourg is an

The demand side is also that for people who do read their spending may be down. I used to buy roughly $400 in books a year. I now buy maybe 1 book a year and subscribe to kindle unlimited for everything else. I don't think I'm rea

I think under any reasonable definition of transformative it's impossible for the weights themselves to not be transformative. The weights of a neural network are substantially different in type and nature from the omnibus of works tha

Regardless of whom it applies to, the situation is deeply unfair. I get that the left is fine with being unfair to the rich and doesn't care at all about writing bad policy anymore as long as the victims of the bad policy are not thei

AMT is also completely insane when it interacts with legitimate deductions and deferrals that aren't loopholes. For instance stock options from start-ups for stock that can't yet be sold.

If you control the browser your results are in you can monitor clicks and time spent on document to generate pretty good signal. If someone opens a document and looks at it for fifteen minutes you should be fairly convinced it was useful.

I feel like anyone who feels the way the above poster does hasn't experienced having a kid in school and the way infections spread through those populations. Especially with young kids who still do things like thumb sucking. My child

I think we fundamentally disagree on the nature of the outputs. I think it's extremely rare that a neural network trained on copyrighted material will produce zero outputs that are derivative of some copyrighted work. It might take a

I'm not sure to what degree large scale LLMs are a bubble. My sense is there are enough useful applications lurking in there that people will be paying ChatGPT API fees for a long-time. I also think those fees are high enough that the

I think it's less about scalability and more about identifying specific choices that are promising. A lot of Schmidthuber's work paints out broad ideas in grand strokes and suggests hundreds of potential neural networks without ev

Majority new works is not a good enough standard. If any output is a direct reproduction of a copyrighted input that output is copyright infringement whether it was intended or not. If the trainer of the model doesn’t want to be sued for in

You can infringe in the UK by serving copyrighted content to users in the UK regardless of where the actual training occurred. This take on copyright law is asinine and juvenile and I’m not surprised the judge struck it down. Can you imagin

It's not obvious governments have more money than ever, at least not relative to costs. The age of the population is going up and that makes some services like healthcare far more expensive. If governments really wanted to they could

I actually think our biggest extinction risk in the next century for extinction risks is falling sperm counts due to microplastics. We are on track to have a sperm count level where the entire male population is infertile in two generations

I think the real dismissal is that people's concerns are more based on the hollywood sci-fi parodies of the technologies than the actual technologies. There are basically no concerns with ML for specific applications and any actual con
