That syntax is very clean when it works. I think however the limitation of not being able to pipe arguments into 2nd, 3rd, ..., positions and keyword arguments, or variadic explosi…

You can DRS ( https://www.dtcc.com/asset-services/securities-processing/di... ) your shares so that no one can lend them out from you. Some brokers have a setting (opt in or opt ou…

I don't get the "its hard to measure throughput" line. I'm using RDS at work. At some point we had 20TB data, with daily 500GB (batch) writes into indexed tables. Same order of mag…

Because that is a regular day's operation. What draws attention is the use of satoshi's wallet as a destination

Someone sent bitcoin to satoshi's wallet. Not from it.

> "it is difficult to write a program that can play a legal action in every situation" This is trivial (just forfeit). The hard part is figuring out the best possible action to sel…

While I was in SF this wealth disparity feeling was present, but it was an order of magnitude less than what I saw in Mumbai. There you have 30+ story building acting as the person…

Given that "The Pile" includes PubMed and NIH as data sources it would be unlikely to have GPT4 not use them at all. Even GPT3 uses Wikipedia which does have (mostly) factual data …

Natural selection improved the species by adding this redundancy in the first place. Mutations are very frequent and some of the phenotypes are critical/desirable for the offspring…

It seems like there are several options for US persons/USD deposits that achieve similar ~4.5% guaranteed returns. Anything similar for EU/EUR deposits? Even services like revolut …

If this works, is there any theory why training models with low rank layers (y = (A.B).x + b) directly doesnt work? (or do they?)

Computing gradients is easy/cheap. What this technique solves is that you no longer need to store the computed values of the gradient until the backpropagation phase, which saves o…

It's not the idea that's worth $1B. It's the risk the founders/early employees take that make it so valuable. Possibly the founders could take a 9-to-5 job, that would pay them an …

The problem is incentives. Banks are required at least a 10% cash colateral (deposits) to issue new loans. If the funds are automatically invested into stocks/bonds/etfs, then the …
