    Damn, I remember I worked through the whole damn thing some years ago when I read this article for the first time, and it didn't hold up to it's claim. I was actually contemplating…

    In "biometrics that match insightface bit for bit" - the "bit for bit" thing is also something I have encountered more than once.

    Yes, stupid and lazy people will be stupid and lazy. AI is just another tool they can use to be stupid and lazy while pretending to contribute.

    Could have been put in a few short sentences, most of which would be wrong.

    I know chashu is the pork, but I don't remember the broth type. Sure it wasn't miso, I think maybe salt or soy sauce type.

    I've been to Japan - the first cheap buy-and-nuke-at-home ramen from the konbini around the corner I ate there completely blew me away (†)! It was decisively better than what I wou…

    I don't see that, where do you read that? Also, what kind of papers do they publish at all? When I look at the recently (say, last 1-2 years) published practical improvements in th…

    Yup, I remember early school. Two guys in class had a computer, one was a ZX81 the other (me) a C64. We're still friends! =)

    This is... strange? I wonder what the reason might be? Anyways, you've found someone. Or at least someone who used to.

    Well, iff is a useful abbreviation. I use it in personal notes at least, and would use it more often if I thought it was more widely understood.

    Oh, I assume they're innovating - it's what I meant with "doing new things". But the word pioneer comes from French pionnier, literally “foot soldier”, a soldier who goes ahead to …

    I don't need to. Those who get it get it. Apparently that doesn't include you, and I'm fine with that.

    I'm afraid I'm even balking at the word "pioneering" in context with US frontier labs. They are probably doing a few new things, right, but they are not blazing any trails for othe…

    Lookahead Sparse Attention should be playing a big role as well, as it dramatically slashes memory consumption.

    They can only pay so much because of the expectations about the generated value. Those might turn out wrong, as any expectation, but value is very much in the picture.

    You can try "language model", that's what I use when talking (when writing I use LLM when I expect the abbreviation to be understood). I find just juxtaposing these two normal word…

    Not the same person here, but a data point nonetheless. Before supplementing D3 I had a cold basically every year, sometimes twice a year. Since I brushed up my levels I average 1 …

    To me it appears as if the study using the constructed dataset was a completely different one than the one that was concerned with AI. For the AI study real data from "3.4 million …

    I wonder how personality forming it is, being a curious kid growing up hacking on computers. If you don't get what you expected, it's almost never the computer's fault - it means y…

    It would still degrade it's effectiveness, which is what they claim to want. Exaggeratedly: If it wasn't so, you'd just need fundamental math in the training data, as everything el…

    The question is: If biological, computer security, and ML research are so bad, why do they even train on the relevant data? The only answer that makes sense is they wanted the mode…
