Sure. Reasonably reliable backup power is a very good thing, but losing power isn’t necessarily a catastrophe.

They’re assuredly checkpointing, which is SOP for any long training. Lots of things can go wrong besides power loss.

So I take it you’re a marine engineer or similar?

Drug companies spend more on marketing than R&D

If there’s anyone I can trust to give an accurate and unbiased assessment of AI company finances, it’s surely an outfit selling a “finance CLI for your trading agent”

Pictures aren’t mandatory. Most restaurants don’t have them.

In the US, some of those apps were generating gross nonsense like showing an image of a pizza with a sweet pie filling (because the menu said “pizza pie”). I don’t get how AI image…

It must be some 5-dimensional chess he’s playing, it couldn’t be that he’s just an edgelord Nazi whose brain has been liquefied by ketamine abuse

I shouldn’t have been so negative. I still very much like Rust, but hearing about these AI rewrites constantly is tiresome.

I used to like rust, but I feel like I’m being Pavlovian-conditioned to recoil at its mention now.

I assure you they would be more than happy to order it for you.

The behavior of a single model and version can and does change. There’s not only built-in stochasticity, but closed hosted models like Claude are tweaked and changed all the time.

Buying the physical book from Amazon isn’t a great way to stick it to Bezos. Just have your local bookstore order it for you, it’s easy.

He’s such a good guy

wow, that’s crazy that OpenAI is saying that negative opinion against them is actually a nefarious foreign conspiracy, and does not actually indicate people hate them

Ah, Axios. The same great outlet that has gotten the scoop on the Iran war ending numerous times.

More of a lot of things. Universal healthcare (as opposed to employer-provided plans) encourages people to start their own businesses. UBI would be similar, but moreso.

You’d really think they’d really check everything and cross their t’s after their previous issues in marjorana fermion QC. I generally have a very high opinion of MS research, but …

Bingo. The typical data scientist has a masters or PhD in a non-CS quantitative field, and has had exactly zero CS or software eng classes. It’s a shame, because once you get over …

I’m a big fan of Polars. It’s really fast and memory efficient. With the lazy streaming functionality, I’ve been able to easily process 1 Tb+ data on a single machine (you do have …

I’m not saying it doesn’t have flaws, but the tidyverse is still the most coherent and functional ML/stat computing ecosystem I’ve ever used. R packages outside of the tidyverse ca…

They kind of have to shoehorn “AI” in there have any hope of raising capital these days.

The onus is you to show it makes children safer - you’re the one advocating these privacy-harming rules.

There’s no way Anthropic can keep jacking up the prices like this for every marginally better model. I think even tokenmaxxing companies are going to soon balk at $50/million outpu…

Recipes were the province of the wealthy. The average person would have had a very repetitive, bland, and potentially malnourishing diet. They might have had some herbs or even for…
