Work for a manufacturing company, and we spend a lot of time creating surrogate models for physical simulations. Huge speed ups, 100-1000x possible. You end up still using the “rea…

Sure, sometimes people get social engineered into taking money from their bank account and giving it to criminals. Should banks stop allowing withdrawals?

And physics

Factuality is orthogonal to political leaning generally. People can use the same set of facts and come to very different conclusions. That’s a separate issue from “are these facts …

In most cases it seems (at least to me and colleagues) to be turning out that picking best intelligence is a better option than picking better intelligence / dollar, assuming you c…

The federal government and the executive branch has a well specified set of responsibilities to the people of this country, and they are massively failing at just about every metri…

> as long as the tests pass To be pedantic, tests prove that the code passes the test suite, nothing else. They do not prove by themselves that the code is correct, secure, maintai…

I do not work in the space at all, but it seems like Cloudflare has been having more network disruptions lately than they used to. To anyone who deals with this sort of thing, is t…

I think both your statement and their statement are too strong. There is no reason to think LLMs can do everything a human can do, which seems to be your implication. On the other …

Never ascribe to malice what can be sufficiently explained by incompetence. And i think it’s fair to say the best and brightest at Google aren’t turning their attention to YouTube …

The unspoken assertion that Rust and Python are interchangeable is pretty wild and needs significant defense, I think. I know a lot of scientists who would see their first borrow c…

To be fair, triton is in active use, and this should be even more ergonomic for Python users than triton. I dont think it’s a sure thing, but I wouldn’t say it has zero chance eith…

Which ICE are you referring to? This is an EU law.

It would be quite strange indeed for Mira Murati to have a say over their technical decisions, considering she does not work for OpenAI :)

The idea that a GPU is dedicated to a single inference task is just generally incorrect. Inputs are batched, and it’s not a single GPU handling a single request, it’s a handful of …

I think they’re referring to hardware like TPUs and other ASICs. Which also exist, of course :)

I work on a team that has actually deployed NN based surrogate models into production in industry. We don’t use PINNs for the simple reason that many industrial scale solvers are s…

I do the same thing, and I keep doing it regardless of how many times I see it working properly.

That is what Intel 18A is, no? In some ways it’s worse than N2, and in some ways it’s better. Overall seems comparable to me, and apparently it’s still on track for next year.

Generally the game is created by external forces, not the players. If you’re an independently wealthy individual you can afford to work for pleasure. The rest of us? We like to eat…

Jax is, as far as an outsider can tell, Google research/DeepMind’s primary computation library now, not Tensorflow. So it’s safer than most Google projects, unless you think they’r…

Perhaps these groups could be regulated and insured by an even larger entity, perhaps even one with the authority to punish individuals and organizations for wrongdoing?

Rather cynical comments so far. I personally am very interested to see how this line of chips does, both in terms of performance (really efficiency, for this sort of chip), and mar…

It’s very reasonable to want Google and Bing to index your page for search, but not have your data collected for training models, i think. I’m not familiar with robots.txt to know …

Apples memory is on package, not on die.
