Thanks for sharing all that you have so far. I’d be super curious to learn more about how to best do incremental updates with FAISS!

Interesting. Did you also tackle the incremental update problem with FAISS?

Yes exactly, relational style queries with each data point. Maybe you have some metadata about your images and maybe you need to join against another table to properly query them. But at the same time you want to only grab the first k neare

There are two huge things your 5 minute setup is missing which are very hard techinically to tackle 1. Incrementally updating the search space. Not that easy to do, and becomes more important to not just do the dumb thing of retraining the

What's going to happen when people start trying to retire by selling crypto? Many people will be selling at the same time, and suddenly the subjective value for everyone will be lower because it will be easier and easier to buy it. My

I tried and failed to use Google Coral about 8months ago. The dev experience was terrible. Our company just went with deploying using openvino on cpu, which was fast enough. I’m not sure coral has enough of an edge to make it worthwhile rel

I find highway driving more relaxing using FSD. It will request lane changes appropriately and then I can just approve instead of having to constantly wonder which lane I should be in to make the exit in time. I have to take over quite ofte

I honestly don’t care what version of stockfish they used and neither does most of their intended audience, for the reasons I stated.

What you are saying is correct in the dimension of income but not in the dimension of power. The power of those with more wealth is steadily increasing, and the power of those without wealth is steadily decreasing. To many it seems like the

I agree that "trickle-down" is usually how critics attack tax cuts for the rich. However, we have seen several rounds of tax cuts for the rich and the language used to justify it is something like "these tax cuts will stimula

1) There are certain issues which are unlikely to receive spending due to well-known economic effects. For example: building highways and public transportation are things unlikely to be funded by individuals because they are public goods. 2

The name of the game here is generality. For a really general agent, they are looking to have superhuman performance, not get state of the art on every individual task. Beating stockfish 8 convinces me that it would be superhuman at chess.

Nearly all useful machine learning is supervised, still. And if you are using a neural network, it will eventually memorize. This is fine though, we have early stopping :)

I think it's super important to separate the following two situations, both of which I suppose are fair to call overfitting Situation A: Models are slightly overfit to some portions of the test set. But the following holds IF Performan

When someone used the word “overfitting” I usually take that to mean that a model has begun to enter the phase where further improvement is leading to lower generalization. In fact, as far as I can tell, we are not overfitting in this sense

If you really wanted to crash cars by altering their visual input, why would you bother with all this complexity? Why not just actually swap the road sign? Why does the existence of these attacks change the threat landscape at all? If peopl

Considering any disagreement with the idea that gravity is a force would end your academic career in physics and an over 99% agreement with that idea, how meaningful is that?

It means that our political and economic system is set up to favor the rich. Our healthcare system is a good example. It works well for the top 1%, but overall we pay more and get worse healthcare outcomes than almost any other developed co

Our political and economic system is warped by wealth inequality and is not fair. Taxation would help with that.

If you know in advance that Primate vs. Human confusions are going to be a potential issue that upset a lot of people (say, because it already happened with a similar system at another company) there are certainly ways of trying to ensure t

Yeah, but it shows some real lack of care to fall into the same edge case that Google was widely criticized for 3 years ago.

This probably explains the previously mysterious drop in Delta cases in the UK. In the U.S. why shouldn't we just shoot for herd immunity now? Not sure how effective restrictions and mandates will be in slowing things down and the cost

It depends on what you do with the revenue. If you distribute the revenue equally to everyone it stops being regressive and is actually progressive.
