The breakdown for AI usage is four categories though, not three. While the first three are negatively correlated with increased usage, the one for using AI "to help me learn" is much more flat when it comes to usage frequency.

There are probably various metrics like language used to prompt the model, number of hours per day spent prompting, and many others. There are quite a few other mitigations that could be done by providers that aren't mentioned in the a

Why would it be bureaucracy? In places with universal healthcare, you go to the doctor, show your card, then go to your appointment. Go to the pharmacy with your script, show your card and pay whatever is left to pay, if any. That's it

Part of the issue is that KSI events are so rare, and it's the same issue that AV companies face. If it takes you millions of miles to encounter a single event, how can you even start to quantify the rate of events, and even prove a di

The base weights can't be updated but from what I recall it allows adding a low rank adapter to customize the model a little bit.

Their YouTube channel has the excellent deep dive on the unreal engine's nanite virtual geometry system: https://youtu.be/eviSykqSUUw The one on idTech8 global illumination from last year is pretty interesting too.

I can't recall the last time that it was useful knowledge when writing code. Reservoir sampling, online softmax, Otsu, sure, Tianenmen square not really.

It could generate code that's plausible but has intentional flaws, kind of like the defunct underhanded C contest [0], except through a LLM. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underhanded_C_Contest

The cost isn't about the actual mileage though, it's having two paramedics each earning about 100k/yr per ambulance, while having coverage 24x7x365. So fully loaded, the labor for one ambulance might be in the high six figure

The article argues the exact opposite: > The standard answer is greed: rapacious ambulance operators, owned by villainous private equity firms, exploit patients at their most helpless. But I don’t think that’s actually what’s going on. A

> No CFO approves a $1.4 million annual commitment on the strength of a chart showing that the commitment scales. Except the company probably approved a budget for AWS or another cloud provider, and basically gave a blank check to develo

No real feedback other than it's pretty awesome. It'd be cool to have a version of the display above the doors that shows the upcoming stations, but I'm not sure in practice if that would be that useful since I assume most pe

It's also kind of hard to know if you already know someone who could give you an invite, since I don't really know the online handles of people I know in meatspace. I've resigned myself to maybe someday getting something post

We do the same for groceries though. Only a few generations ago, oranges or bananas were a luxury if you didn't live in an area where those fruit grow. Now we get avocadoes and berries way out of season, shipped from across the world.

Light scatters in the atmosphere, it's the same reason you can shine a laser beam and see it even though the light should be collimated. With enough sources of light, you end up with more background light pollution.

That already exists though. I believe Braindance VR uses a rig with a couple dozen cameras to capture the same scene from multiple viewpoints then converts it to a gaussian splat that can be walked around.

I wonder how they're planning for the benchmark to stay relevant over time. If the benchmark is to implement features that are part of an open source project, and LLMs have those changes as part of their training dataset, it seems that

For programmatic usage oftentimes SOTA isn't useful. For example, I have software that summarizes articles and classifies links on webpages to build a synthetic RSS feed, both of which use LLMs, neither of which need a SOTA model. I&#x

$30/month is likely a rounding error in the budget of students at the schools mentioned in the article.

True, but the capabilities and knowledge of that model are also frozen in time, so the value of that model declines over time. A model that writes code without knowledge of any language or library changes for half a decade is less useful. A

Obsidian is a lot more than "just markdown" though. For example, with the appropriate plugins like dataview and charts, it's possible to create dashboards, lists, and tables that update automatically based on data elements pr

Yeah, I hope there's a gradient between scalper buying a single 99 cent game and actual person who has time played on multiple games and multiple purchases. The probability of someone with say a 3000 hours played across multiple games

Some do. I got the TS-873A a few years back, it works. Their software is kind of weird, and I wouldn't connect it to their cloud offering, but it does work.

The Epic store is horrendously slow though. I bought a few games there but in practice the client is just so slow that I avoid it if I can.

The article makes a lot of points about cost viability, but says nothing about what happens at the end of life for space datacenters. On Earth, the materials and equipment in the datacenter can be repurposed, recycled, or properly disposed

That's a pretty good point, and I assume at $work they wouldn't appreciate throwing away $n dollars worth of code.

Indeed. It's pretty interesting to realize after implementing GPT-2 that the frontier models are scaled up versions of that, with various tweaks to improve performance, model-wise. The secret sauce though is all the datasets, RL traini
