The original post of 11% is referring to leaked numbers about _MFU_, which has erroneously been re-reported as fraction of GPUs being used at all. The parent post is trying to corr…

> BTW the reporter looks like Cotten Hill if he was real, and actually fought in all those wars. I'm quite surprised they had him hosting the video. I'm curious what decisions led …

And one of the interesting (and hard) computer science problems is how to turn an arbitrary einsum expression into the most efficient series of operations (transpose, matmul, etc.)…

Really sad - he was often the sensible voice in the UK media (e.g. BBC articles) when it came to security issues.

There was actually a lot of pushback against the austere aesthetic by government ministers - they wanted fancy looking photo banners and pretty things. This was pushed back on in t…

Honestly this sort of climate & environment tokenism frustrates me - spending a lot of energy trying to reduce and elimate things that barely matter (or even actually make things w…

Harry Nyquist isn't exactly an unknown engineer who doesn't have his own achievements, though - not sure why people are saying he would be fired in a modern company!

What was remarkable is how Facebook's Threads app jumped straight to being full of advertisers and hucksters - they didn't think that maybe the right way to bootstrap a social netw…

We're bad at onshore wind, not due to lack of possible sites, but because of a government ban on building it: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/29/onshore-...

Why? At what level do you define "local" - country, state, city, neighbourhood, street, literally next door, just my house?

Social media owners wanted all the benefits of superscale communities with none of the responsibilities - it isn't surprising that moderation got worse. Reddit vaguely has a workab…

I'm not going to detail challenges in medical ML - the literature can do that. But just to mention one that other people haven't that goes beyond just precision-recall: algorithms …

So you should ignore it and see a doctor regardless.

Thermometers are well understood, simple devices, and there are other complementary checks (e.g. does my forehead feel hot) if they fail. This project might lead to people thinking…

What peer review or regulatory approval process has this been through? Seems pretty irresponsible -- there are many notorious pitfalls encountered with ML for medical imaging. You …

The best thing to do these days is use an AlphaFold prediction, if there exists a confident one, as a starting position for refinement. [1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35362474…

There's a responsibility under refugee conventions to take on people needing asylum. The conflation of them with illegal immigration is quite ridiculous. The UK is a rich country (…

> Just in case you live on another universe. Or any country that isn't the US?

I'm guessing here that ASA is 'American Statistical Association', rather than say, the UK's 'Advertising Standards Authority'?

Funny how when confronted with an article that gives a clear, unambiguous demonstration of how patriarchy negatively affects women, you come up with two weak articles that supposed…

Could you elaborate why you think it looks like a fractional FT? If you solve Schrödinger's equation with periodic boundary conditions on the potential what you get are Bloch funct…

If it meant that, I'd expect it to be: "The pound won’t be a round for much longer" so the original sentence is sort of a pun. Maybe "around" is a local use of English.

That video is basically nonsense and has nothing to do with string theory or physics.
