That’s 260 gigabyte, that’s actually a tiny dataset, you can query and index that on a normal workstation in seconds. Even training models on that is possible in realistic times on normal systems with that.

Which one is which? Thanks in advance if you know, because i'd rather not download a huge torrent just to find out I should have been using that bandwidth to download a different one.

Where there's AI to bombard you with ads, someone will make AI that scrambles your online presence to confuse them. Social network camouflage.

That's a cool idea. Does anyone know of any projects in this direction?

I remember one for Facebook that, because you couldn't delete your account, would systematically edit and wreck every single bit of data it could touch, replacing it with random junk.

I've also seen some that register you for sites by feeding in random demographic data.

What are you talking about? I search reddit using google all the time !?

https://www.reddit.com/robots.txt Disallow: /*/comments/*?*sort= Disallow: /r/*/comments/*/*/c* Disallow: /comments/*/*/c*

It works fine. I don't know if there's a way to get only comments, but if you scroll down to the link to /r/madlads it's clearly indexing them.

"site:reddit.com don't quote me"

I use this all the time to search specific subreddits for phrases in comments I remember, but I don't want to give examples or subreddits I visit.

Never mind, misread, the comment data is indeed what I linked to.

However, uncompressed, it hits over 1+TB, if the BigQuery sizes are indication.

How one would use such technology? Let me rephrase - how would YOU use this technology if you had it? Imagine you have a bot that convincingly passes the Turing test - what would you do with it? Build a chatbot business? B2C or B2B? Sell it to one of the big companies and if yes then how much do you think it would go for? Give it to OpenAI? Open source it? If you answer yes to any of this questions, then why? Edit: l…

I would use it to pre-process Github issues for me. Attempt to reduce some random user's rambling to a clear set of repro instructions, prompt for more information from the user when necessary, ping other devs' chatbots for help. Basically, issue templates, taken to the next level.

Also, I would use it to troll bureaucrats when I give up in frustration. It should try to force the bureaucrat to admit flat out that their logic is fundamentally flawed, and then ask them to propose a solution }:)

Those only block the various sorts and individual comment links. The main comments pages are still searchable.

Google was getting overzealous and indexing every page hundreds of times because it would follow every link, which included every "context" link and every sort.

The P100s have full support for half-precision (i.e. 16 bit) floating point ops. This can mean ~2x improvements in speed and memory usage in comparison to the Pascal TitanX, which is the top "consumer" card. This difference is significant for almost any machine learning workload, which is what a lot of these cards will be used for. NVIDIA gimped half-precision on the consumer cards to drive datacenters, hedge funds,…

First NVIDIA solidified their Monopoly by forcing CUDA... then they gimped half-precision on consumer cards. We really need some more Frameworks that work with OpenCL, so that we can have some competition from AMD, who's consumer cards are not gimped.

Gimping, in this case, is actually: adding hardware, that costs quite a bit of silicon area, on one chip that will probably never be sold as a consumer GPU.

I don't see the issue with a company making a very high-end product, adding stuff that doesn't have good use for consumers, and asking extra money for their effort.

AMD doesn't have double speed FP16 on its current FPUs either. The latest version has FP16 at the same speed as FP32, but if you're doing that you might as well use FP32 always.

And let's not forget: the Nvidia consumer GPU have deep learning quad int8 operations enabled at all time. They didn't need to do that and could have reserved it for their Tesla product line only.

He actually used the site: keyword! The absolute madman!

I'm going to make a prediction: Soon after the first chatbot passes a Turing Test, there will be many more to follow, they will get better and better, and the methods will be so interlinked that there will be no way to defend it as proprietary software. The data too will be open source--the public reddit dataset already has tons of value in it. The question then is, "When everyone has access to free chatbots that can…

One application I predict is spam, from nornal spam being less detectable to those spam bots that add you on chat platforms and try to get your card info, responding to what you type.
