The first to third-gen i5s and i7s, for being about as fast as several generations down the line (it wouldn't be until 2017 when AMD would release the first Ryzen processors that Intel would start to clock their processors at their full potential out of the box rather than artificially limiting them). This was most visible in notebooks, where the ultrabook craze would ensure comparable laptops wouldn't reach performance parity until several die shrinks later; this was also true for desktop processors provided you bought the unlocked versions and bumped the multiplier up to the 4-4.5GHz they were all capable of on stock voltages (they'd hit a thermal wall at 4.6-4.7; bumping voltages would cause them to heat to unsustainable levels very quickly).

The same thing is true of the GTX 1080 Ti, a card that 7 years later still has comparable performance to new mainstream GPUs, the upcoming mid-cycle gaming console refreshes, and the Steam Deck.

(This fact isn't lost on nVidia, who would like to have you pay for that next decade of usefulness up front; the reason for identical market prices per quantum of performance of the 3090, 4090, and soon 5090 are that way partially for this reason.)
How big is the SORA model itself?
I started doing this for work after reading this here 2 years ago. It’s been helpful, but I haven’t made it a consistent habit to check the night before. I don’t access the todo list from home (partially due to barriers inherent in my work’s IT dept and also of my own making). I also keep it pretty limited to my work and don’t let my other hobbies/projects/family onto it too much. It’s been a good record and reference for things!
First, it was bs panic by board members and everyone knows this and that in turn ruined everyone’s bag, and for no good reason. Think about it, they wanted to disband the entire company because the world was about to end was the reason
Yes, for non-small cell lung carcinomas. Its not a panacea, but seems to be effective.

After observational studies of patients who flew to Cuba to take it confirmed efficacy, phase 2 clinical trials are underway in the US : NCT02955290

It's unfortunate it took this long. If it wasn't for the sanctions, it would certainly already have either finished (or failed, though unlikely) trials.
The research breakthroughs all happened at Google, so it's not surprising.
My favorite example of this: https://imgur.com/8QyMe
Kahanist extremists have used the term to refer broadly to Palestinians in the same way Christian extremists have deployed Christian tropes to dehumanize, well, everybody in the world at one time or another. But the "Amalek" quote is famous because Netanyahu said it, and we have the context for the speech in which he did: he was referring specifically to Hamas.
Changing the way transformer models works is orthogonal to gaining good performance on Mistral. Groq did great work reducing the latency considerably of generating tokens during inference. But I wouldn't be surprised if they etched the A matrix weights in some kind of fast ROM, used expensive SRAM for the the skinny B matrix, and sent everything else that didn't fit to good old fashioned hardware. That's great for generating text, but prompt processing is where the power is in AI. In order to process prompts fast, you need to multiply weights against 2-dimensional matrices. There is significant inequality in software implementations alone in terms of how quickly they're able to do this, irrespective of hardware. That's why things like BLAS libraries exist. So it'd be super interesting to hear about how a company like Groq that leverages both software and hardware specifically for inference is focusing on tackling its most important aspect.
This is an uneducated opinion, but I'd be absolutely shocked if it's not a major investor that is buying effectively privately.

I am impressed at just how amazingly great Valve is at being a responsible tech company.

They eschew DRM for most or all of their games. They have gone out of their way to support Linux gamers with Proton. They used Linux as the base of SteamOS for their Steam Machines and then again with the Steam Deck. Now they're open-sourcing their audio SDK. They've even publicly stated that they if they ever go out of business, they will make sure you get to keep all your Steam games[0].

I feel a lot better about Steam as a dominant player than I would if pretty much any other company were the dominant player (Tim Sweeney, I'm looking at your and your anti-Linux diatribes).

Like Amex - expensive, difficult to work with because they define their own goofy standards, and loathed by merchants and customers alike?
In the [Sloot Digital Coding System], it is claimed that no movies are stored, only basic building blocks of movies, such as colours and sounds. So, when a number is presented to the SDCS, it uses the number to fetch colours and sounds, and constructs a movie out of them. Any movie. No two different movies can have the same number, otherwise they would be the same movie. Every possible movie gets its own unique number. Therefore, I should be able to generate any possible movie by loading some unique number in the SDCS.

Guy named Borges already patented that, I'm afraid.
Well if their goal is to make money, they haven't beaten Google yet.

Sweet, thanks! It seems like this research ecosystem was incredibly rich, but Moore's law was in full swing, and statically known workloads weren't useful at the compute scale of back then.

So these specialized approach never stood a chance next to CPUS. Nowadays the ground is.. more fertile.
You can go through a text to be published 5 times on a computer, print it out and for any text of decent length, I guarantee you will find a ton of stuff you missed. I have never tried using an e-ink device for that to see if it has the same effect, but I would be curious of the feedback on that if anybody here has done so.
We also do it to help find criminals.
And if the only reason we do it is to stop people from legally moving money around, then we need to stop it. Will criminals and terrorists benefit? Sure, but they can also benefit from other legal things as well, like cell phones and the Internet
You might be interested in the Phase IV trials in Cuba, which were published here : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5346887/

There was also a published study by Roswell Park, on a few hundred patients many of which flew out to Cuba to take it, but it's only Phase 1, so no efficacy, only safety and antibody titers : https://www.roswellpark.org/newsroom/201903-safety-analysis-...
This is why I bought a Brother printer when I needed a color inkjet. Brother is known for no-nonsense laser printers, but not inkjet. I bought it anyway because I just trust the brand for keeping things simple feature wise. There are better inkjet options from Canon and Epson, but they both nickel and dime you on the ink, have DRMed ink cartridges and what not. I traded off better quality prints for peace of mind.

Google has such an extreme bias for popular websites that they now routinely ignore words used in your query if it means recommending a popular website or recommending the results of the closest-sounding search if it's a popular search result.

It's extremely obnoxious. I have to do literal word searches in almost every Google search query I perform now.
It is expected that the one making an assertion is also the one providing proof.

Anyway, I guess “doing more” is… synthetic benchmarks scores with no clear winner? OK I guess?

Yes, at least if they joined in 2020 or later. I interviewed and got an offer around that time, post for-profit conversion, and the pitch was that the "shares" (actually, profit sharing rights) would be bought by investors every few years.

(FWIW, I ended up not taking the position, mainly because I would not have enjoyed the specific work they wanted to hire me for.)
If I can derail conversation for a moment, what is the idea behind 'valid' or 'invalid' transition? It's not a phrase I've heard before sorry. I'm not in any kind of other forum where I think I could ask this without getting very emotionally-charged responses.
People typically use a mouse with 2 digits (pointer finger and middle finger). Motion is captured in 2 dimensions. Toss in a scroll wheel an extra thumb button and that’s about 6 different inputs.

2 mice could theoretically be 12 different inputs.

The inputs aren’t evenly distributed though, in terms of ease of access. The function of the left click button isn’t swappable with the x-axis of the trackball, for example.

—-

Now compare that with the keyboard. A keyboard with just 3 rows of 10 keys each is 30 different inputs already. Each input is fairly easy to swap - any finger can (relatively) easily hit any key, regardless of function. The only exception is the x-y motion of the trackball.

—-

So it seems logical that the best option would be the combination of a mouse and a huge number of keys.
Ok. And is the a reason to cripple our entire financial system? People can avoid paying taxes already.

I spontaneously quit caffeine in December when my local coffee roaster produced a decaf single origin that tasted identical to the caffeinated thing. (8oz of decaf coffee contains 7mg of caffeine vs 140mg in caffeinated coffee).

I didn't feel the transformative effects that many blog about, but I definitely felt how tired I _really_ was.

I started napping way more during the day than before, and I'd fall asleep within ten minutes or so on most nights once I hit the bed. (I had been doing CBTi for a week or two up to the time that I quit. I don't have sleep apnea.)

When I drink caffeinated coffee now (extremely rarely), I definitely feel it and definitely crash later in the day as a result. (Caffeine lasts about six hours in your system before its metabolized away.)

What I realized pretty quickly into doing this is that (a) caffeinated coffee is probably the only drug that is nearly universally socially acceptable because (b) nearly everyone is terribly sleep deprived.

It's a real shame that modern (Western) society is designed from the top-down to sweep mental and physical health under the rug in the name of "efficiency". Coffee's just one unfortunate side effect of that.

Also, it is really hard to get good decaf drip coffee but, surprisingly, much easier to get decaf espresso. I'm guessing this is because decaf versions of coffee-based drinks (lattes, flat whites, fraps) is more popular.
Google certainly had influential papers on language models having emergent behaviors, but this isn't the one that inspired scaling up GPT. It was published August 2022 and GPTs at OpenAI were getting scaled up long before this.

> Someone accidentally resizing the sidebar to become unusably small or large and calling support because they don't know what they did or how to fix it will describe it as an emergency.

And that's why you have an in-house support departments whose job is to solve these issues. It's like buying a tractor, then relying on the company several towns away to provide repairs.

Customizability is good. Because when I settled in a workflow, I don't want to see things I don't want occupying space or distracting me. It's like not using part of the desk because you're supposed to have piles of books in this place.

I'm not advocating to have trillion of options a la VIM. But anything except the core purpose of the software should be customizable in some way, including the options to hide it.
So that's fine and all, but if you've lost that trust in the platform itself, you can't trust any E2EE; it's not as if browsers somehow fare better in that analysis; they are in fact strictly worse.
Huh. I have a very fast metabolism and coffee greatly affects me. Even one cup and I get the sweats, my heart will beat funny and I get anxious and a bit hyper for a while before a crash later in the day.

I wonder if metabolism speed really is an indicator of caffeine "impact".

I've worked places that have used Carta for this. Sometimes the company buys the shares back, but I think the more common case is that it's new investors. You do get a check, but it's separate from your regular one. Sales like this are long term capital gains, so they're taxed differently than your regular income. No you cannot trade it for shares of something else [0].

[0] - There are investment vehicles (exchange funds) that do this for publicly traded stocks. They're a good way of diversifying your portfolio if you're heavily weighted in one stock, but they typically keep that capital locked up for seven years which is not great if you value liquidity.
You can workaround the lack of exhaustive matching with the following pattern:

type Variant = { kind: "value", value: string } | { kind: "error", error: string } | { kind: "unexpected" };

class Unreachable extends Error {
constructor(unexpected: never) {
super(`${unexpected}`);
}
}

function useVariant(variant: Variant) {
switch (variant.kind) {
case "value":
return variant.value;
case "error":
return variant.error;
default:
throw new Unreachable(variant);
}
}

The `new Unreachable(variant)` will fail the type check only when you have not exhaustively matched all variants.
You're making it seem like OpenAI is a dumpster fire and not literally the only company that is MILES ahead of its competition. Not too mention they're supposedly a billion in yearly revenue.

Not even Google can compete.

It could also be a signal that the company recognizes that they would not be where they currently are without their workers. Maybe they're giving a reason for their workers to stay (become multi-millionaires overnight) and not go to their competitors.
Yep, now with the release of Sora we see that they're actually making the world a better and more creative place. People love to spout doom and gloom for no reason.
You don’t sell back to the company. Nasdaq and other exchanges have platforms for facilitating secondary market sales. You can’t trade it for something else, it’s a sale for cash. And no, it doesn’t come into your paycheck you nominate a bank account using the platform.

5.5 years on this particular file, but I've been using the same system for at least twice as long as that.

The datestamp is the most recent time I thought it might be useful to rotate into a new file. It was not! I find it much more convenient to have everything in a single topic-based file, although I do separate personal from work, and employers from each other.

Or they trusted Sam’s ability to run an AI company better than the 2 other e/acc advocates who wanted to pause AI development and brought in a temporary CEO who was on a podcast that same year calling for a multi yr pause on AI development.

Everyone points to money but they are also working on the most exciting technology in recent history. Crippling both that and likely their long term job prospects vs Sam, whom they never got a straight story for why he was being taken out.

People love to over simplify and reduce things while glossing over all the nuance.

It's not really "nepotic". The goal was to reduce the number of accounts you need to look at to some manageable number. Ideally you discover some root spammer account and ban the entire tree under the assumption they're all spam accounts. Then you ban the guy who was dumb enough to invite a spammer into the community since they clearly cannot be trusted. If you can't or won't ban them, you take away their invitation privileges.

If the problematic account is too high up in the tree, then they probably have way too many descendants which increases the false positive rate which means you can't conclude that they're bad based on the fact they're invitees of a bad account. Essentially, the spammers diluted themselves inside a huge number of maybe good users so that you can't blanket ban them without collateral damage. In that case you're better off banning the bad account individually and looking for new bad roots further down the tree.
Well I mean they are supposed to be non profit. Not that I’m complaining, OpenAI does great stuff.
“The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal” is a tongue-in-cheek documentary short film with a similar take on the art of graffiti removal. The filmmaker interviews Portland city workers about the process and follows them on their day painting over graffiti. The film is available on YouTube.

Reading the paper, they're saying convolutions are powerful enough to express any possible architecture. But that's just computational universality - this does not mean they are convolutions.
I do make decisions and often times people many degrees removed get hurt or exploited as a result of it.

It's a nice high level overview about the state of the art in machine learning.

If you have watched his other talks, Jeff Dean generally does a very good job explaining things from a high level point of view.

Here is a controversial view: I think that the current neural networks driven approach coupled with massively distributed computing has plateaued.

For the machine learning field to move forward, it will need a different, less data/compute hungry paradigm.

Yes. The one specifically designed for lung cancer screening is a 'low-dose' CT scan, that is usually around 1/5th of a standard CT scan. This is similar to the low-dose CT scan used for identifying heart disease, a coronary calcium scan. In fact, there some research showing that a single scan can do both at the same time (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-23235-4), quite well, especially coupled with ML analysis of the scans.

For both of these diseases, it seems like the small amount of radiation (2-3x normal yearly background) is well worth the radiation risk done twice a decade for low risk (>40 y/o) and perhaps up to yearly for high-risk former/current heavy smokers (>50 y/o), which is the current recommendation. Even out-of-pocket, these scans tend to be very inexpensive (for medical diagnostic tests), at around $150-200.
