There are probably various metrics like language used to prompt the model, number of hours per day spent prompting, and many others. There are quite a few other mitigations that co…

Why would it be bureaucracy? In places with universal healthcare, you go to the doctor, show your card, then go to your appointment. Go to the pharmacy with your script, show your …

Part of the issue is that KSI events are so rare, and it's the same issue that AV companies face. If it takes you millions of miles to encounter a single event, how can you even st…

The base weights can't be updated but from what I recall it allows adding a low rank adapter to customize the model a little bit.

Their YouTube channel has the excellent deep dive on the unreal engine's nanite virtual geometry system: https://youtu.be/eviSykqSUUw The one on idTech8 global illumination from la…

I can't recall the last time that it was useful knowledge when writing code. Reservoir sampling, online softmax, Otsu, sure, Tianenmen square not really.

It could generate code that's plausible but has intentional flaws, kind of like the defunct underhanded C contest [0], except through a LLM. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under…

The cost isn't about the actual mileage though, it's having two paramedics each earning about 100k/yr per ambulance, while having coverage 24x7x365. So fully loaded, the labor for …

The article argues the exact opposite: > The standard answer is greed: rapacious ambulance operators, owned by villainous private equity firms, exploit patients at their most helpl…

> No CFO approves a $1.4 million annual commitment on the strength of a chart showing that the commitment scales. Except the company probably approved a budget for AWS or another c…

No real feedback other than it's pretty awesome. It'd be cool to have a version of the display above the doors that shows the upcoming stations, but I'm not sure in practice if tha…

It's also kind of hard to know if you already know someone who could give you an invite, since I don't really know the online handles of people I know in meatspace. I've resigned m…

We do the same for groceries though. Only a few generations ago, oranges or bananas were a luxury if you didn't live in an area where those fruit grow. Now we get avocadoes and ber…

Would they be counted as active players on steam if they're being played on game pass though?

Light scatters in the atmosphere, it's the same reason you can shine a laser beam and see it even though the light should be collimated. With enough sources of light, you end up wi…

That already exists though. I believe Braindance VR uses a rig with a couple dozen cameras to capture the same scene from multiple viewpoints then converts it to a gaussian splat t…

I wonder how they're planning for the benchmark to stay relevant over time. If the benchmark is to implement features that are part of an open source project, and LLMs have those c…

For programmatic usage oftentimes SOTA isn't useful. For example, I have software that summarizes articles and classifies links on webpages to build a synthetic RSS feed, both of w…

$30/month is likely a rounding error in the budget of students at the schools mentioned in the article.

True, but the capabilities and knowledge of that model are also frozen in time, so the value of that model declines over time. A model that writes code without knowledge of any lan…

Obsidian is a lot more than "just markdown" though. For example, with the appropriate plugins like dataview and charts, it's possible to create dashboards, lists, and tables that u…

Yeah, I hope there's a gradient between scalper buying a single 99 cent game and actual person who has time played on multiple games and multiple purchases. The probability of some…

Some do. I got the TS-873A a few years back, it works. Their software is kind of weird, and I wouldn't connect it to their cloud offering, but it does work.

Cool! Just a heads-up that some of this is in a pretty rough state, but shoot me an email if you have any questions or issues.
