The article is okay, but the writing is bad chatgpt. Em-dashes in almost every sentence instead of commas. Out of place analogies and metaphors which barely make sense. Randomly sprinkled slang for an audience of teenage redditors.

Pretty sure this is just vectorization. You can pack some 8bit ints into a machine-length 32bit int and add them together, that is vectorization.

Can you back that up with anything? I’ve gotten this as a vague sense, but it seems hard to find much actual background about how he manages to continuously fail upward.

I don’t see how the distinction makes any sense when the Verus project you linked requires you to write correctness specs. It sounded like intrinsic techniques were preferred because they would not require you to write and maintain a separa

I wonder if there's another reason for Sam brokering deals with lots of major news outlet. Surely OpenAI won't try to exert any type of editorial control over these publications. That would be absurd!

The workload they have is already optimized for something like an Nvidia GPU.

This is not going to age well. The current round of AI accelerators are going to flop hard because there is a deep hardware software mismatch. All the accelerators target GEMM and CONV, and get bottlenecked when most of the other extremely

So basically the balancing point at which CO2-based heating stops is bounded by this 155K number, which I’m assuming relates to something really hot and bad on the surface. This means that with just this model we will all die. Can we not ju

This makes sense and gives me some things to learn about, I really appreciate it. If climate science is correct, the one hole I still see is that it doesn’t take into account future improvement in technology, which I think might have some s

I’m sorry man but based on the stuff I’ve worked on and the situations I’ve seen, it just seems more plausible to me that the scientific enterprise tasked with scaring the shit out of everyone is not sampling and unbiased distribution.

I agree with some of your points about excesses of American lifestyle (where I live), but there is another side to this. A pretty good proxy for wealth is basically how much stuff you can waste and not care about. I can leave all the lights

> I would suggest that we can do better by not going there The problem is that you are recommending we turn off capitalism, which will have serious consequences that are easier to predict than climate change: we will doom the world’s poo

I agree with your last statement, although it is describing a very simple interaction and I don’t feel certain that we are observing that in action yet. I also don’t know if there are counter-balancing interactions that we aren’t aware of y

Your entire framing of the world is engineered by pessimistic news articles which only tell a small part of the story. Is loss of biodiversity bad? Maybe. Will we have resurrected most extinct species using jurassic park DNA within the next

Do you even know how many years “an earth’s worth of biomass” could power our civilization? What if it’s like 1,000 years? I think you are just doomposting.

What if you actually can’t predict the future and climate change is actually good? What if having kids is actually a great thing for them and for the world? These are reasonable ideas if you don’t just spend your time doomscrolling on twitt

I am getting sick of seeing the same edgy fatalistic comments every time a climate article is posted. If you are really such a master of the universe that you can predict the future and know it’s gonna be so horrible, then you must also kno

That story is about a fake-cancellation that Charlie created with his friends against himself. It is some kind of commentary on this very situation of you trying to get this taken down.
