That's probably gonna run in gpu anyway. There is a lot of data work that involves double (or single) precision arithmetic, outside of ML, LLMs etc. It is definitely also worth testing 32 bit floats too, though.

Nice and organised work! My only reservation wrt the core of it is that it tests the cpus on a matrix operations task, and power efficiency in this case refers specifically to doing matrix operations. This is fine if that's the kind of

What is not well done in this study?

1) Then more math should get formalised in lean. 2) How is a solution by LLMs supposed to be verified without such a formalisation?

The spatial reasoning on reading code does not happen on the dimensions of the literal text, at least not only on these. It happens in how we interpret the code and build relations in our minds while doing so. So I think that the problem is

I do not think what they say is that it is hard to visualise it, but that it does not offer much utility to do so. A "for" loop like that is not that complicated to understand and visualising it externally does not offer much. The

Well I precisely talked about things I have engaged professionally. Obviously this cannot cover everything one may do, eg I do not build chatbots for customer service or stuff like that, thus I obviously cannot speak for all possible applic

Thanks for putting all this work and sharing it in such a detail! Data extraction/structuring data is the only serious application of LLMs I have actually engaged in for real work and found useful. I had to extract data from experience

I do not think that such a conversation is done in productive way (especially when cutting phrases in half to make them appear making no sense) but will try get a couple of points across: - I interpreted the comment in the context of the an

I think you are confusing "memory" with strategies based on memorisation. Yes memorising (ie putting things into memory) is always involved in learning in some way, but that is too general and not what is discussed here. "Com

It is not "just more text". That is an extremely reductive approach on human cognition and experience that does favour to nothing. Describing things in text collapses too many dimensions. Human cognition is multimodal. Humans are

Claims of isomorphisms are really strong claims to not be backed up with some kind of evidence.

When they can outperform human infants in learning, eg data required to learn and versatility, we can talk business. Not all world is "big data".

The problem is that there is little, incremental progress last 1 year or so after the big chatGPT boom to justify the hype, technically wise. Most of the "progress" going on is basically marketing, and making the models respond in

You do not teach git/github, you teach students what the best practices (ie version control) are as part of working on their projects.

It was a disaster waiting to happen. I had entirely disabled automatic updates for my iphone apps specifically this kind of risk with this specific app. An OTP app is sold to some totally shady guy, what can go wrong. Though tbh I must say

Only that the app was never really under open source license, at least not since 2019. It used to be under CC BY-NC 4.0 but then it changed to a "source available" type of status [0], where any modification, redistribution etc was

You _can_ disable automatic updates and install updates manually. This is what I actually do, ironically for this very exact risk about the Raivo app. I like raivo, but since it was bought by this shady guy, I thought that by blocking autom

MAO-B and A inhibitors (they inhibit the enzymes that break down dopamine, serotonin and other amines) are not too uncommon to be used as nootropics in the nootropic communities, and selegiline has probably some more nootropic effects. It i
