Again, the problem is custom kernels in CUDA. It’s not straightforward for many applications (LLMs are probably the most straightforward).

It doesn’t sound like having a house will magically make you feel better. Plenty of people are just as exposed to markets as you yet respond differently. I suggest exercise, nutrit…

These kinds of comments make me think few people have actually tried. My experience has been 1 work day of getting things set up to work the same as before for training and testing…

Unless you develop in CUDA, you can easily train code (e.g. PyTorch) written for training on Nvidia hardware on AMD hardware. You can even keep the .cuda() calls.

I’m a AI Scientist and train a lot of models. Personally I think AMD is undervalued relative to Nvidia. No, chips aren’t as fast as Nvidia’s latest and yes, there are some hoops to…

Why would you want (versus need) a Tesla? It’s no longer an aspirational product, it’s an appliance.

For all you know he had a hard adjustment to the college workload. Maybe his high school was not serious and nobody really challenged him. You all could have interrogated why he ma…

My (biotech, mostly remote) company does this. They may not love it but they realize they have to hire from SF, Boston, NYC etc to get the best ML talent and people expect market s…

The issue is that actually, outside of technical paths, businesses do like to hire business grads as it allows them to do even less training and they usually don’t care if someone …

Or, just maybe, AGI is a mirage with the bulk of its current utility as a marketing tool for much more realistic, if ultimately mundane, applications. OpenAI, of course, knows this…

You won’t teach yourself by running papers through Claude, and you won’t need to if you went from first principles rather than rushing.

It’s annoying how much things have shifted now that you can’t really own a performance car without worrying if someone will mess with it.

Comment datasets are valuable for conversational AI, it’s the same reason Reddit locked down the API I imagine.

It’s probably the best from their training standpoint. The city is quite small relative to others and their only hope is to essentially memorize San Francisco in the neural network…

Comment #37190669
They’re too deep, their networks are overfit to San Francisco at this point. Making it work in other cities would require the insane training hours to basically memorize that city.…

I’ve seen this stated a ton and it’s not really true. Once trained, the model (except for decoding) is deterministic, and you can enforce determinism fairly easily. ChatGPT is not …

They don’t. They simply assume the model’s most likely output is meaningfully correlated with true rankings even though it was never trained on this task and certainly has not been…
