Yeah, it is and the math get's really counterintuitive to grasp since humans (at least me) have trouble thinking in exponential terms. If you accelerate at 1g constantly for 1y you travel 0.5 light years. You do that for 10.5 years and

I really hope they do and slap them with the 4% of their total global annual turnover.

Educated or not, people that have been using the same system for many years will have a tough time IMHO. Looking at my mom and dad interactions with any UI, it seems to me they don't really read what that menu is about, they just use &

Do the per Capita calculation. Why can US and Canadian folks emit 4x as much as the average Chinese citizen? Do you believe you have the right to do so only because you are born in the West? I believe that if it wasn't producing shit f

Never seen anything of the sort apart from the Tsunamis in Japan and Indian ocean. This event is the "big brother" of what happened in Italy in 2022 with the Marmolada glacier collapse which was tiny compared to this. Additionally

Just did my internet contract for my apartment in rural Italy (a town of around 2k people in the Verona province). 1Gb symmetric is indeed 25EUR/month. I added a few stuff on top like static IPv4 and reached 32EUR/month.

Time travel breaks causality if you assume Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Multi-world interpretation allows it as you just end up in a self-consistent "branch" and you would be stuck there. Like you can travel bac

I think it is subjective. I prefer being left alone and having to talk to the staff only when I need something. Being interrupted every 2 minutes with a "Is everything ok?" is annoying.

But if the AMOC collapses the drought you talk about will become the a year round problem. Climate models predict a drop in rainfall between 20 and 50% depending on the region. So agriculture will be fucked. And the US will be hit by super

Yeah, and to avoid inconveniencing airlines and their profits we should keep flying to those destinations like back then.

My understanding is that watermarking in prose is basically a bias when sampling tokens. For a system that knows the average probability for each possible token in the LLM vocabulary it is possbile to quantify said bias given enough text. F

Ah, so I am not the only one struggling with deciphering Opus writing style. At times I feel dumb as a rock because I read the same passage like 5 times and I still don't get it.

I was reading somewhere that we are already fucked even if we were to completely halt greenhouse emissions today. Apparently we kickstarted some positive feedback loop (I think it was the thawing of the permafrost in Siberia/Canada) wh

Honestly, despite having a wife from the US (not an US citizen anymore), I agree with you. It is really weird to me that such a thing as lobbying can be legal. Or the fact that you can donate to an election campaign so that they have more m

On top of that, isn't Bending Spoons famous for enshittify anything they buy to squeeze every single cent they can? Meaning that their fame would push even more companies/people to do a vibecoded replacement with just the features

The exact training run is basically impossible anyway. Randomness plays a role. Even if you fix your RNG seed, in a distributed training scenario like this one some weight updates might come at different times and be included in different u

Apparently that is what Taalas did though. Not an hardware person, so take this with a pinch of salt

No, if you burn your model into the silicon you don't need memory as the output of a layer flows through circuitry directly into the next one. No I/O to memory of any kind. You still need a bit of memory for in flight answers, but

You don't need memory because the output of the previous layer flows directly into the input gates of the next. So no I/O to/from HBM or similar You still need some memory for the context, in flight answers, ... but not for t

I believe part of the LLMOps (I don't like the term, but it is what it is) should be building a failover plan with proper testing that check tools trajectories and such. If you have these then you can sort the good enough models from c

How do they scan e2e encrypted messages? Will they force apps/OSes to have master keys/institutional backdoors to have access to the private keys?

It is the difference between giving an LLM an epic and say "You figure it out" and giving the single tasks' breakdown you envisioned and build incrementally on top of it. With the latter you can, for example, say "Wait,

If you like hiking and tough, but rewarding, trails, consider the one to the base camp of Everest, or the roundtrip around the Annapurna. I did both and they are truly amazing without the craziness that has become climbing those Mountains.

High horse? Man, my country was under communist dictatorship and I didn't see a banana until I was 8 years old. However, despite that, I am aware of how lucky I got in life and I try to be mindful of those that are not as much. Also, I

Let's go back to have open air sewers while we are at it. I mean, if the goal is to bring back stuff that lowered life expectancy and reduce 50+ years of progress, I don't see why not. I really believe that as arguments go, yours

And especially terrible for the communities that have to live with gas turbines or other local power generators as neighbors. Noise and air pollution constantly [1]. But fuck them, they are poor people so we don't care about them &#x2F
