I explicitly stated in a different comment that Rednote will not replace TikTok. I don’t think anyone seriously believes that. It’s subject to the same ban after all. The interesting aspect here is rather the magnitude of dissatisfaction th

I don’t think anyone thinks RedNote will replace TikTok — it’s potentially subject to the same ban after all. But it illustrates the general dissatisfaction among TikTok users with the other mainstream US social content platforms.

Rednote has been shown as the top free app (per Apple’s own App Store in my device at least) for going on a week, so the magnitude may be larger than you imply. Also, having tried it myself, the algorithm works much like TikTok whereby it l

P and B frames are compressed versions of a reference image. Frames resulting from DLSS frame generation are predictions of what a reference image might look like even though one does not actually exist.

Speaking of Bitcoin specifically, if this is your view then you should take some time to understand the severe societal and economic problems that come with persistent deflation. And more generally, determining the optimal level of the mone

LLMs/transformers are a breakthrough on the level of convolutional neural networks — significant, and one that opens up lots of new interesting applications as well as invites lots more R&D — but like the neural net it’s not gonna

I think the companies pursuing VR see that as a momentary technical deficiency, not an inherent limitation of VR generally. So to characterize their efforts as a long-term “bet” against multitasking seems silly to me.

VR covers your entire field of view, so not sure why you’d claim that it precludes multitasking, even if the current iterations aren’t yet geared toward that.

It's obviously a productive change and kudos for taking it on, but much of the enthusiasm being generated here was driven by the entirely unanticipated prospect of running a model at full speed using less memory than the model's o

It appears that this was just a misreading of how memory usage was being reported and there was actually no improvement here. At least nothing so sensational as being able to run a larger-than-RAM model without swapping from disk on every i

The debate over what kind of intelligence these models possess is rightly lively and ongoing. It’s clear that at the least, they can decipher very numerous patterns across a wide range of conceptual depths — it’s an architectural advance ea

This is convenient behavior up until you actually have an incident that coincides with theirs, in which case it becomes catastrophic because you had no idea that outside vigilance was required on account of their ingestion downtime. Not sur

I'm arguing against the notion that these LLMs exhibit "emergent behaviour" as you stated. I don't believe they do, as the term is commonly understood. Emergent behavior usually implies the exhibition of some kind of com

It's modeling patterns found across the massive corpus of textual training input it has seen -- not the true concepts related by the words as humans understand them. If you don't believe me then ask ChatGPT some bespoke geometry-r

The advancement with these LLMs lies in the fact that they can effectively learn to recognize patterns within “large-ish” input text sequences and probabilistically generate a likely next word given those patterns. It’s a genuine advancemen

The anthropomorphism is indeed exactly why this is a big problem. If the user thinks the responses are coming from an intelligent agent tasked with being helpful, but in reality are generated from a text completion model prone to mimicking

As far as I am concerned, if the Chinese state is pushing a grassroots recognition of this event that could lead to accountability and improved safety practices, then they are doing us a public service.

I don’t know or care what Chinese internal media is reporting — this is a significant story in the U.S. that is getting less play than it should. It’s an ecological disaster with potentially significant health concerns, and likely involves

It’s not just a matter of degree or quantity of post processing. Some techniques are qualitatively different than others.

Good practice would be leaving a comment with a TODO, an explanation of the problem, and some basic instructions as to a possible fix. Leaving your email and phone number is absurd and should not be promoted as good practice. No sane compan

Lowering rates will give a boost to the stock market in the short to medium term. In the long term, returns will settle closer to the interest rate in question (plus a risk premium). See: Japan over the last couple of decades.

There isn’t much information available on how its indexing works internally, whether tag existence / tag values can be indexed, etc. So it’s hard to judge the extent to which this could be a replacement for Postgres with PostGIS.

It's better than having integrated headphones I think. If the included ones (however basic they are) are in-ear, then the immersion and sound quality would likely be better than anything that would be attached to the headset. Onboard a
