My own personal take: I live my life not for enjoyment but to try and leave the world better than I found it. If I can succeed in doing so (even slightly) then teaching 2 children to do the same would be my life’s greatest contribution. I a

I spent some time listening to some Spatial Audio mixes about 1 year ago. Dolby Atmos is a cool concept but I was not able to hear a benefit. This reminds me of how when stereo first came out artists (including the Beatles) didn’t take it s

I would not make the same inference because we know that ML systems generally struggle with robustness and the long tail, while humans tend to be exhibit much more flexibility to adapt to distribution shifts or unusual situations. For a con

To me safety is mostly about the risk of injury and death to me. And mostly about death. Humans die from driving only once every 100 million miles on average. So until there is a comparison at this scale, to me it’s a very incomplete pictur

I know many many people who have moved to SC from the Bay Area. I mention the proximity because it’s relevant with regards to people becoming familiar and then desiring to move there (whether retired as you mentioned or working remotely), a

You have to remember that Santa Cruz is very near the Bay Area and in California. A lot more than 60,000 people want to live there many have been forced out by costs. What you’re saying really amounts to saying you want to stop immigration

If you want to really dive into the math and motivation for this entirely new class of models (state space models) I highly recommend reading Albert Gu’s thesis. https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/14784021 I tried t

If installing these things required passing FDA trials before you could even do the first install, it’s hard to imagine anyone self funding the regulatory trial and then open sourcing the result. These businesses you mention are different b

Im not saying it’s always nitpicking. I’m saying that sometimes it is.

I generally like the tool. When your code review tool is really nice one unexpected negative is that it can create a culture of nitpicking. Sometimes it’s not worth arguing over small details like variable naming but the tool makes it reall

I used to feel the same way until I called a Waymo and it picked me up and dropped me off in SF, with no driver.

I looked through a bit of the companies here and I don’t see any companies that have to retain a quality system and staff to stand behind their products permanently. These models seem to work better when you can just put stuff out there and

Open source is a good model for science but how will this lead to regulated medical products?

by dontreact 3y ago
Yes there is an unregulated layer but I think it’s clear the FDA will certainly care about the most impactful applications of AI in healthcare

by dontreact 3y ago
To deploy generative AI in healthcare someone has to pay for the salaries of a lot of people to do the work. That means there needs to be a business model. I am not sure who will take an AI through regulatory procedures if it is open source

Your understanding is not correct. You can either a) schedule a pickup using any app or b) stroll in and place an order off the menu. A) is way more convenient so I haven't done B) in more than a year though.

I live next door to one of these (mentioned in the article) and I think it's an improvement to my neighborhood. This article seems like a huge over-exaggeration of some minor issues to me. It's nice to be able to have a ton of foo

Not if you catch it early stage. With LDCT screening you can catch the cancer when it is very small and physically remove it.

Depends on the market. I have heard from someone who I trust deeply and knows the financials well (worked there) that Uber is profitable in certain markets. It’s very possible that they have to pull out of a lot of places, but I think the m

I tried this question and GPT4 did way way better to getting closer to a final answer. Phind was horribly wrong. I can't help but think something seems off with your eval given just how badly Phind did on this. I want to make an intera

This is nice because convolutional models seem better for some vision tasks like segmentation which are less obvious how to do with ViTs. Convolution seems like something you fundamentally want to do in order to model translation invariance

It is in fact for many people a solid argument for a wealth tax.

Yes it's difficult. I think we should have a pretty high bar for evidence required to decide that this idea is impossible. Because once you decide that it's impossible, then there will be no more evidence collected. I would like t

Ok but I can't change the fact that everyone is greedy. What I can control is whether I support nuclear, which seems like a better tradeoff for the future than not supporting nuclear. We are all human and have flaws and it's best

But the waste is just SO small and just needs to stay inside of concrete to be considered contained. I would rather burden future generations with this rather than continuing to produce CO2 at the scale we are doing now. https://

Well... they hardly tried all genres :) It sounds like it can't handle lyrics or semantics that well so I suspect any genre where the lyricism is important would also be quite mushy and recognizably AI
