That’s usually not true due to caching. It may be true if you leave a large gap in between, but if you send “make it red” right after, then it’s purely incremental

Exactly. This number is so so much bigger than 10^100000 or however many grains of sand would fit, that dividing by that amount doesn’t really change it, certainly not enough to br…

The two other changes they mention have been widely adopted, and are included in at least some of the models they benchmark against. It seems they list them for completeness as cha…

This is just an artefact of tokenisation though. The model simply isn’t ever shown the letters that make up words, unless they are spelled out explicitly. It sees tokens representi…

I used to use K professionally inside a hedge fund a few years back. Aside from the terrible user experience (if your code isn’t correct you will often just get ‘error’ or ‘not imp…

For anyone wondering what this does, it looks like it produces optimal configurations for belt balancers given a specified number of input and output belts. Belt balancers evenly d…

In some cases you can directly test hypotheses like that, but more often than not, there isn’t a way to test without just trying.

Nice paper. I particularly like how they talk through the ideas they tried that didn’t work, and the process they used to land on the final results. A lot of ML papers present the …

That’s only true for linearly ordered structures, but isn’t true for partially ordered ones. For example, set inclusion. Two different sets can be neither greater than not smaller …

Interesting! Do you have a link to that research?

From reading this book you’d have a very good grasp of the underlying theory, much more than many ML engineers. But you’d be missing out on the practical lessons, all the little ti…

Wayve is developing their own autonomous vehicle system, so I think they are their own target audience here.

The other angle on ‘Corporate AI’ is when we’ll start to see product placement and adverts inside generated content. Create an image of coffee, and you’ll find Starbucks logos ever…

It’s entirely static for now. I’m sure we’ll see techniques for dynamics objects eventually though.

Link seems to be dead?

What would you propose instead?

out of interest, is there anything specific you think humans will always be better at than AI?

Of course they’re different. But so what? That’s not exactly proof of anything, unless you’re suggestion biological neurons are the only configuration in the universe capable of th…

This paper, and most other places i’ve seen it argued that language models can’t possibly be conscious, sentient, thinking etc, rely heavily on the idea that llms are ‘just’ doing …

Stretch the timelines out a bit. Say the asteroid is two years off (a fairly typical startup runway). I would much rather know the planning, decisions and execution of the one thin…
