That class sounds interesting! Is there a syllabus or other documentation online?

They are in fact UF professors though, and that fact would be relevant in any case they testified in. Are UF professors banned from acting as paid expert witnesses in general? Or just for this issue? To your edit: the fact that the entity i

I agree with the sibling. You need to say what it means to "have an idea what the meaning of text is" if you're going to use this as an argument that neural nets don't understand language. I think what it means to unders

Agreed. You could tax proceeds from this kind of loan as income and then make repayment tax-free. Or I suppose just tax that too as a form of disincentive.

One difference is that you benefit directly and personally from owning your home in that you live in it and don't pay rent. Owning equity in a business doesn't yield the same direct personal benefits.

I would be extremely surprised if the TSA started checking the wattage on power supplies. I've never even done the separate liquids thing.

M1 Pro Max is only $200 more. I'm tempted, but do we think it will be more power hungry under the same workload than the Pro?

Agreed on Markdown's limited expressiveness. I think the reason for programmers' attachment to Markdown isn't just about being able to operate on it in a terminal. It's about the general interoperability of plaintext. Te

Node compatibility mode seems like a big deal. I wonder how much this helps with library compatibility practically speaking. They don't say much about any limitations in the notes, just that it will get better in the future.

Probably not. It's not clear how to scale other methods to make use of so much compute. They top out sooner, with fewer parameters and less compute. One way to look at why deep learning is having the impact it does is that unlike other

I've wanted to try out sorting neural net dimensions for visualizations via a travelling salesman problem solver over the correlation matrix among the dimensions. Has anyone tried something like this?

This is Spring's "erring on the side of caution" trademark enforcement mechanism, not trademark law itself. I highly doubt that a court would acknowledge that Affinity has some trademark claim over all short strings of Greek

A library to do this that integrated well with typical inference and and training systems would be a great contribution!

Your post is obviously trying to fan flames, but I'll point out that many people in the US, including, I suspect, most Americans on HN, did not actually think "America first" rhetoric was good.

Setting aside that the Economist is not actually a US publication, are you of the view that it's good for Cuba that at the same time that they're rationing food, so much of the country's farmland is in low productivity state-

You sound very confident about this, whereas copyright lawyers I've read discuss this issue seem much less confident overall, but lean toward thinking this would be fair use. What makes you so confident that this would not be ruled fai

Could you explain why you think training models on copyrighted text is illegal or copyright infringement or whatever else it might be?

On the last point: 1) The vaccine isn't perfect, and herd immunity nonlinearly reduces the risk of everyone including the vaccinated from getting it. 2) Unvaccinated people, who make up the vast majority of the cases, create an environ

It's quite possible to do this on-prem and even on-device. TabNine, a very similar system with a smaller model (based on GPT-2 rather than 3), has existed for years and works on-device.

The AI most certainly does not lack the ability to generalize. Not as well as humans, but generalization is the key interesting result in deep learning, leading to papers like this one: https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.05468

There's an interesting discussion raging on elsewhere in the thread about the possibility for cultural adaptation that would enable us to cope with statements like "the cancer test was positive, but there's still a decent cha

One way to analyze the two similar function situation is to ask whether a future change in the logic to one would imply that a change should also made to the other. If so, then by keeping them separate, you introduce the risk that you would

I don't think that, no. Still, different people with different toolboxes will come up with different solutions.

But in doing so, you bring that latent knowledge back into the minds of living people who can rethink the solutions in the face of the modern ecosystem and clean out the cruft that truly has no modern purpose.

It's easy to use templates to convert some given knowledge graph node or maybe subgraph into a paragraph that could maybe serve as a Wikipedia intro paragraph. It's much harder to generate answers to questions. This calls for joi

Would Ethereum be able to make the switch to PoS if it had never used PoW originally? How would they ensure a good distribution of ownership?
