Intel still has about twice the revenue as AMD, so I am not sure how to see them as an underdog -- they have really maintained a death grip on market share in some segments even when their chips have not been at all competitive.

And a big portion of Intel chips are now made by TSMC in Taiwan anyway. I have the impression that the US government will make sure they have enough money to get back to having their own competitive factories.

Besides that, due to their anti-competitive practices and other issues, I suppose I think the company does not deserve any charity -- they only stopped paying dividends a few months ago, and stopped stock buybacks a few years ago.
Ideally, drivers would be available both through Windows update and directly from the chip designer. Gamers in particular are already accustomed to seeking out driver updates manually, especially to get timely fixes relating to recently-released games.

Thus far, driver updates for Qualcomm GPUs have not only been available only through Windows Update, they've been released on a different timeline for different OEMs: a Samsung Galaxy Book and a Microsoft Surface Laptop containing the same chip can have significantly different "latest" GPU driver versions. So getting updates direct from Qualcomm could be an improvement for users of laptops with OEMs that are slow to publish updates. But if this new driver direct from Qualcomm is really just for Surface devices as the headline implies, it's not that much of a change for the broader ecosystem.

>In this case specifically “the degree” is pretty low since predicting moves is very close to predicting board state (because for one you have to assign zero probability to moves to occupied positions).

The depth/degree or whatever is not about what is close to the problem space. The blog above spells out the distinction between a 'world model' and 'surface statistics'. The point is that Othello GPT is not in fact playing Othello by 'memorizing a long list of correlations' but by modelling the rules and states of Othello and using that model to make a good prediction of the next move.

>I said not directly evaluating how well the putative internal state matches the actual state is.

This is evaluated in the actual paper with the error rates using the linear and non linear probes. It's not a red flag that a precursor blog wouldn't have such things.

>And you can “squeeze blood out of a rock”: it’s the multiple comparison problem and it happens in science all the time and it is what you are doing by training a neural network and fishing for the answer you want to see.

The multiple comparison problem is only a problem when you're trying to run multiple tests on the same sample. Obviously don't test your probe on states you fed it during training and you're good.
French people, especially back in the day, have a particular distaste of British food though for mostly irrational reasons.

It's also more expensive. It's a little bit like how you don't see people in Savoie or Ain going to buy food in Switzerland, but the french supermarkets are packed with Swiss-plate expensive cars looking for a bargain.
in the beginning i was agitated by Concise and would move it back manually. But then I actually tried it, I asked for SQL and it gave me back SQL and 1-2 sentences at most

Regular mode gives SQL and entire paragraphs before and after it. Not even helpful paragraphs, just rambling about nothing and suggesting what my next prompt should be

Now I love concise mode, it doesn't skimp on the meat, just the fluff. Now my problem is, concise only shows up during load. Right now I can't choose it even if i wanted to

I'm not pretending to be an expert on this specific situation. That's mostly weighing in on The insider outside her conflict and the question of skin in the game, which plays out frequently in the situations.

Maybe it was a no-brainer in this situation, but that certainly isn't the picture that the article painted, with 20 years of activism to persuade the damn owner and operator to take them out instead of refurbishing them.

Similarly, if it's such an obvious win-win, why do 80% of the locals not view it that way? Do you think they're simply wrong and have nothing to lose?
Fine art is a matter of nuance, so in that sense I think it does matter that a lot of the "human art" examples are aggressively cropped (the Basquiat is outright cut in half) and reproduced at very low quality. That Cecily Brown piece, for example, is 15 feet across in person. Seeing it as a tiny jpg is of course not very impressive. The AI pieces, on the other hand, are native to that format, there's no detail to lose.

But those details are part of what make the human art interesting to contemplate. I wouldn't even think of buying an art book with reproductions of such low quality--at that point you do lose what's essential about the art work, what makes it possible to enjoy.
> You're strictly correct, but the rules for chess are infamously hard to implement

It's interesting that the impressionist-styled pieces mostly fooled people. I think this is because the style requires getting rid of one of the hallmarks of AI imagery: lots and lots of mostly-parallel swooshy lines, at a fairly high frequency. Impressionism's schtick is kind of fundamentally "fuck high-frequency detail, I'm just gonna make a bunch of little individual paint blobs".

One of the other hallmarks of AI imagery was deliberately kept out of this test. There's no shitposts. There's one, as an example of "the dall-e house style". It's a queen on a throne made of a giant cat, surrounded by giant cats, and it's got a lot of that noodly high-frequency detail that looks like something, but it is also a fundamentally goofy idea. Nobody's gonna pay Michael Whelan to paint the hell out of this and yet here it is.
The headline of the article states that it was considerably less under Obama and Bush. It's not an "every administration" thing.

afaik, it really depends on the spatial structure of the audio field.

think nyquist sampling rates, applied to space, and you can't apply a low-pass filter just because you don't care about higher-order signals. that means that for any given audio environment, there will be some "spatial spectrum" of signal, and you need to sample it densely enough to avoid aliasing.

I don't believe it is the result of a LLM, more like an oversimplification, or maybe a minor fuckup on the part of the author as simple majority voting is often used in redundant systems, just not for memories as there are better ways.

And for a LLM result, this is what ChatGPT says when asked "How does memory error correction differ from quantum error correction?", among other things.

> Relies on redundancy by encoding extra bits into the data using techniques like parity bits, Hamming codes, or Reed-Solomon codes.

And when asked for a simplified answer

> Classical memory error correction fixes mistakes in regular computer data (0s and 1s) by adding extra bits to check for and fix any errors, like a safety net catching flipped bits. Quantum error correction, on the other hand, protects delicate quantum bits (qubits), which can hold more complex information (like being 0 and 1 at the same time), from errors caused by noise or interference. Because qubits are fragile and can’t be directly measured without breaking their state, quantum error correction uses clever techniques involving multiple qubits and special rules of quantum physics to detect and fix errors without ruining the quantum information.

Absolutely no mention of majority voting here.

EDIT: GPT-4o mini does mention majority voting as an example of a memory error correction scheme but not as the way to do it. The explanation is overall more clumsy, but generally correct, I don't know enough about quantum error correction to fact-check.

I think the implication of the top comment is that cloud providers are buying revenue. When we say that cloud provider revenue is "up due to AI", a large part of that growth may be their own money coming back to them through these investments. Nvidia has been doing the same thing, by loaning data centers money to buy their chips. Essentially these companies are loaning each other huge sums of money and representing the resulting income as revenue rather than loan repayments.

To be clear, it's not to say that AI itself is a scam, but that the finance departments are kind of misrepresenting the revenue on their balance sheets and that may be security fraud.

With all of the telemetry, am I correct to presume that Tesla probably knows the current odometer reading for pretty much every car they've ever sold? So they could easily give out the denominator for the fatality rate in the original reporting?

Synaptics does the same. They only distribute to OEMs. So if your OEM doesn't update the driver you're stuck. Worse yet, if you don't want the OEM's customizations you're stuck.

Dell used to distribute their touchpad drivers without edge-motion. So I had to force a driver from Lenovo's website to get the standard UI to work.

The reaction from journalists and others who are unhappy with the election, to desperately try and create an echo chamber for the political left, is misguided. People should be able to exchange their views freely and hear from those that they disagree with. Twitter/X offers that, and it is better today than in the past due to features like community notes and significantly lower censorship. Bluesky comes with a default opt-out censorship that makes it unserious out of the box.

These are mountain dams, without meaningful irrigation or flood control applications, and dwindling hydroelectric utility. They impounded 3 reservoirs with a total surface area ~1/20th of Lake Washington, one of which has ~100 privately owned frontage parcels. Those owners lose their lakefront, but in a few years will enjoy views over and access to a river valley instead.

Well founded objections should be treated with respect, but I think there's a lot of resistance that's born of (a) reflexive opposition to the 'other side' (b) false generalization of dam-removal arguments applicable to specific dams to all dams, and (c) the incorrect assumption that existing dams must have some utility (equivalently, unawareness of just how many __useless__ dams cover the west, these Klamath dams among them).
I have no experience to share on the creator side, but as a user I am ever fearful of extensions getting rugpulled. Many popular but fading extensions sell out to nefarious companies just looking for users to adspam. Please don't do that.

The simplest way to grow it is to share the link to it in this thread – you have eyes on you, take advantage of them.
Sadly it’s really hard to distinguish users and bots (on both platforms) - or even impossible. Maybe in the future there is just a social network populated with bots…
I also prefer Claude after trying the same options as you.

That said I can't yet confidently speak to exactly why I prefer Claude. Sometimes I do think the responses are better than any model on ChatGPT. Other times I am very impressed with chatGPT's responses. I haven't done a lot of testing on each with identical prompt sequences.

One thing I can say for certainty is that Claude's UI blows chatGPT's out of the water. Much more pleasant to use and I really like Projects and Artifacts. It might be this alone that has me biased towards Claude. It makes me think that UI and additional functionality is going to play a much larger role in determining the ultimate winner of the LLM wars than current discussions give it credit for.
Eh. That’s an artificial goalpost. Realistically, it’s a tool in the toolkit.
No, that's wrong.
If you’re a young man in your twenties looking for structure and morality in a setting of first-world postmodernity, TBK is an incredible opiate. Much better than alcohol or Call of Duty.

It would be fun to play against an LLM without having to think about the prompting, if only as a novel way to get a "feel" for how they "think".

"Changes" are an interesting one, honestly as a professional artist who has to pay her rent, there is certain complexity of change beyond which I am likely to say "look, we're going to need to renegotiate the budget on this if you want this much of a change from the sketch you already approved", or even "no".

If you mean this particular thing because it involves compounds [0][1] with nitrogen and phosphorous, then I agree it's a valid concern to look at.

However for existing plastics in general--mostly carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen--it's less of an issue. Just because a material can be metabolized doesn't necessarily mean it's a rich source of energy, or that the chemicals in it will unlock some limiting-factor that was holding back a population-boom.

Just to prove it's possible, consider lignin, another C/H/O polymer and the core component of wood. It was ecologically un-digestible for a long time until something (fungi) evolved to dismantle it efficiently. Yet even now, its breakdown is a slow, low-margin process that occurs in the background.
