It's not addictive along the same pathways (as far as I'm aware) from what I observe in my own life you either smoke casually and could stop whenever you want to (I used to then I …

The study controlled for general health but I would note that the odds-ratio reported for cannabis use (4-6) is not so different from the odds-ratio associated when studying high v…

I'll start my first job in an engineering role in a few days and I could reach behind to my bookshelf and flip through "The Way Things Work" right now if I wanted to. Fantastic boo…

I think the 600 dollar price is more than double the price of the same diplay as a mass-produced product it's a price for enthusiasts of the technology and it's open source so noth…

that is almost guaranteed an at-cost production figure for the limited run of kickstarter funded displays there isn't a production line producing these things - watch the youtube v…

This is a linear regression relying on a couple years of data to predict 15 years in the future and I don't believe that the valuation is made on this basis. It may be that spaceX …

I've been wondering lately if it would help to take a medium sized model and either in cloud or some local setup actually do Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) on ev…

exactly yeah it was a code base written by atmospheric physicists I assume and I had an idea that maybe copilot could get it working to interface with some more modern software and…

you assume correct

It's funny lately I've been seeing the cursor advertisements all with some premise of regular young person wants to develop an app and the ads really do focus on the simplest of pr…

its funny that sky features like clouds and blue patches end up being fit very close to ground level because there isn't a difference in perspective to cue in the algorithm that th…

Wishful thinking but it would be real great if an engineer poisoned these datasets with bait entries

It may be simpler to build from scratch using parts from a hobby store if you want a drone which cannot be tracked back to you or your credit card

The number was correct to a reasonable degree under the assumptions stated by the author in the paper that tweet references since they obtained estimates from consumer grade hardwa…

Agree on training. But that google paper was written when the only image model available for broad public consumption was dall-e 2 and video models were more than a year away. It g…

Yes but the task becomes that much harder - we are scaling up natural gas generation not to phase out coal but simply to meet demand that wouldn't exist without the fierce competit…

This is a common agreement to have with industrial power users. I know in Quebec during the coldest days in winter industrial users are required to scale back. I would hope there a…

There is more than one comment here asserting that the authors should have done a parallel comparison study against humans on the same question bank as if the study authors had set…

Reading this reminded me of this good lecture on the physics of racing which was posted to youtube. Andre Marziali - Physics of Racing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYp2vvUgEqE

-Naïve- is the example I think I see most often but I think it’s often spelled -naive- and no one would fuss too much with either spelling
