I think a lot of it is customer service. If you work in ML you probably have some NVIDIA engineer's number in your phone. NVIDIA is really good at reaching out and making sure their products work for you. I am not a Torch maintainer bu

The lack of working Iron Dome would mean that Israel would have to go on a big offensive. The lack of US aid will elevate Israel's war posture, not decrease it. People seem to keep forgetting this is an existential war for Israel, ther

I disagree as an American who moved here. Many things are closed on Shabbat, including public transport! Nobody is driving on Yom Kippur. There is nothing like that in the world. Also that what in the diaspora we consider religious holidays

Driven especially by having the second most happiest youth. For one, Israel is an advanced country with mostly sunny weather. But the edge in my opinion is military/service culture produces a sense of self-actualization in the youth th

This is called "descriptiveness", a very bad quality for a trademark application to have.

The massive amount of money going into AI could invariably lead to the development of new and even more successful architectures. Although speculating on what and when would be like perfectly predicting the development of the Transformer ar

>By recycling its own training material, AI will get less meaningful results over time. I read this a lot, and it sounds intuitive on the surface. But I don't understand how it's justifiable. For example, all that exists in the

I have seen no evidence for that, only the opposite: https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.11610 Intuitively, training a simple enough linear statistical model with its own output should be a NOP. But LLMs are anything but simple

Even so, I don't think there is any evidence that LLM performance degrades when it is trained on its own output, and there is no intuitive reason it should.

But even so, the human picks the prompts and only publishes the AI outputs they think read nicely. There is information gain even in that.

As an employee, you are essentially a business owner with one customer. Your customer can cut you off at any time with a 3 AM e-mail, even if you pour your heart into your work. You lose access to it too. You own nothing, any thing you do,

I disagree. There is a ton of money to be made. Advertisements can be even more lucrative, we just have to rethink the whole idea of advertisement. Imagine the chat bot as a digital salesperson, but for literally everything. It can even be

I don't see this working for Getty but it will be interesting to see. Israel and the EU have preemptively determined that the use of copyrighted data to train ML models is almost always fair use, and I believe the Authors Guild case in

It's way harder to scam people with AI/ML stuff compared to crypto since it fundamentally doesn't involve transfers of large sums of money. Well perhaps venture capitalists, but it's their job to be able to tell the real
