Among other reasons, if you turn temperature down to 0, llms stop working. Like they don't give natural language answers to natural language questions any more, they just halt immediately. Temperature gives the model wiggle room to emi

I don't think so. Primarily because if you can ask that question instead of just being dead, then it's not the fast takeoff. On a less drastic note, if AI were autonomously cannibalizing the economy, you'd run into more thing

I don't think adding 20 bytes to every response, which are never read in practice, will improve the energy efficiency of the internet. Not to be mean, there's just a lot of stuff in most responses that effectively nothing acts on.

I don't think it's right that Airbnb solved short term rentals - outside of a few dozens prestige markets that they monitor with humans, it's really a race to the bottom. Reputation at scale remains unsolved, and so it's

You could get healthcare from someone who doesn't have to go $100ks in debt first, and then expects to make more than you do. If no such person with that profile exists, then yeah you're stuck paying the rate of the system that tr

At the end of the day, much like housing cannot be both affordable and a good investment, healthcare cannot be both affordable and a lucrative career. Avoid going to an MD if you can get the same care from someone else.

I would guess not. An important feature of compilers is that they are guaranteed to emit code with certain properties in response to specific inputs (memory safety guarantees, asymptotic performance, calling convention, etc.). If they don&#

Audio and video are encoded, compressed, and transmitted differently because of how humans audially/visually decode them. We fare better dropping late video frames than degrading their quality, where the opposite is true for audio. As

If you're concerned that you've made/found something dangerous, the most appropriate solution is to disclose it to people who can evaluate how dangerous it is, and work with them on next steps. In your hypothetical, I would o

Not significantly. Humans are made up of matter already available at the earth's surface, so population increase alone effects neither the amount nor distribution of the earth's mass. Technological civilization might at some point

You ought to begin by getting really good citations on each of those figures. If you or the source you got them from had any confusion about how to arrive at those numbers, any results you get from them will likely be meaningless. Hopefully

In order for passive investing to produce returns, stocks need to be regularly priced. Active trading produces the prices. Active traders are trying to beat one-another, but at an institutional level the point isn't to beat the market,

Focus on something you expect AI not to exceed professional humans at in the next couple of decades. If you're convinced there's no such thing, then I wouldn't worry so much about career choice. For a concrete answer in tech,

I tried a language with which I am unfamiliar, and do not think I could learn anything this way. It was fun to practice with a language I'm functional with, but not a conversation. I asked the thing if it was GPT-3 and it changed the s

Beware survivor bias here. No-one regrets what they did well, but misses what they gave up to do well. A very viable route is to spend the next 5 years maximizing your money and career. At 28 it is unlikely you'll regret options. (On t

It sounds like your team's culture is built around a small dev team with a high level of autonomy and trust, which hasn't scaled to a larger org. Now's the time to establish a new culture. Unless you are Milton from Office Sp

This doesn't appear to recognize certain common latinizations. For example, splitting ö int oe, as in "Foetzen". If you intend to commercialize this, you might want to invest some effort into that.
