Does it not use Metal, on macOS? Would it be faster if it did?

It's a very conservative warning. The application does not perform writes, so the application doesn't actually wear your SSD at all. The rest is just application-independent genera…

You still have a core misunderstanding. Only one layer of weights is required in memory at a time. A forward pass can be over-simplified as a matrix multiplication of each layer, o…

Both sentences are likely wrong. It's a written lifespan (technically an "erased" one), not a read lifespan. The weights are only needed from disk read-only. And Mac NVMe interface…

I've got access to a 192GB RAM Mac Studio, which is below the stated minimum RAM. Can swapping off fast disk be used to make it work out, especially since it's MoE?

ChatGPT reconstructing idiomatic Python source code from Python bytecode was definitely up there. That is not something humans have written a great deal about online. It requires s…

> If it detected any harmonics it would be too high. I think it's not that simple. A tuner is "hearing" the fundamental and all of the harmonic overtones combined. It has to guess …

Inference (not training) is bottlenecked by memory access speed, not compute. Having special hardware wouldn't make it faster unless you somehow found a faster memory controller th…

I don't agree with the "twice". A frequently performed manipulation like the fuel cutoff (usually performed after landing) collapses down to a single intention that is carried out …

The prelim report states these pilots were indeed breathalyzed before takeoff.

I meant philosophical toggle switches, not physical ones. The gear can go between down and up. The fuel can go between run and cutoff. Given enough practice, the brain takes care o…

Now I'm trying to remember if I've ever picked up my razor and accidentally begun tooth brushing motions with it. Probably! More relevantly, you seem to me to be unduly confident a…

Sometimes? If you have enough altitude to trade for speed then after the cutoff you could glide to a hypothetical miraculously-placed runway right in front of you, vs. having fire …

It's not that rare, and there are institutional factors (such as seeking treatment for psychosis being career-ending for a pilot) that incentivize serious pilot mental health crise…

Not really, though. They're both (retracting the gear, and cutting off fuel) just toggle switches, as far as your brain's conscious mechanisms go. Doing them both on every flight d…

> There is no possible way to confuse these two actions. This is obviously an overstatement. Any two regularly performed actions can be confused. Sometimes (when tired or distracte…

> I wonder if a built in delay would make sense for safety. (Presumably delaying the amount of time before a raging engine fire stops receiving fuel would also have an impact on sa…

It's not that nonsensical. After it's accessed the private repo, it leaks its content back to the attacker via the public repo. But it's really just (more) indirect prompt injectio…

I don't know that ChatGPT's voice mode is using audio as a transformer input directly. It could just be using speech to text (e.g. Whisper) on your input, and then using its text m…

Then the malware would provide that confirmation to the wallet too. Defending yourself from malware running on the same (Windows) machine is mostly impossible.

You should try AI sometime. It's quite good, and can do things (like "analyze these 10000 functions and summarize what you found out about how this binary works, including adding c…

Ghidra's a decompiler and WinDBG is a debugger, so they'd be complementary.

Semiconductor fabs are actually decently large (>20k employee) cities.

It's a British thing -- another example is that Brits would use e.g. "Apple have decided to.." instead of "Apple has decided to.." (for every group of people including "the governm…
