in3d··on Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure Superconductor LK-99 preprint revision 2
Nerd sniping?
in3d··on Room temperature, ambient pressure superconductivity – this time for real?
LinkedIn post from one the authors: https://twitter.com/8teapi/status/1684571913908293633
in3d··on EU AI Act, the first ML law, is expected to come into force by early 2024
Thanks for the link, it just served to reinforce my view that EU is anti-innovation. These points can’t be read any other way. They will put EU at a disadvantage in AI development.
in3d··on Bullshit Jobs (2018)
FYI DEI rarely includes ageism.
in3d··on Bullshit Jobs (2018)
UC Berkeley has 400 full and part-time staff to run DEI programs, might be a better example.
in3d··on The planning of U.S. physician shortages (2020)
Not all. Iowa: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2023/0...

“With this move, Iowa joins five states that have removed the legally mandated relationship between physician assistants and doctors, according to the American Academy of Physician Associates.”

in3d··on Nvidia DGX GH200: 100 Terabyte GPU Memory System
These 100T rumors were ridiculous from the start, not just in hindsight.
in3d··on Americans have never been so unwilling to relocate for a new job
2100 businesses damaged or ransacked in Chicago. https://www.chicagotribune.com/investigations/ct-chicago-202...

700 buildings damaged, burnt, or destroyed in Minneapolis. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/minnesota/news/minneapolis-issue...

The scale of destructive rioting was massive and underreported at the time it was happening.

in3d··on PaLM 2 Technical Report [pdf]
86 vs 81 is not slightly higher. It’s 26% fewer wrong answer.
in3d··on Align Your Latents: High-Resolution Video Synthesis with Latent Diffusion Models
If they posted these videos on publicly accessible websites, it could be fair use. We need some more court cases to really know.
in3d··on Midjourney AI Guide
It's a huge step toward getting the image you want, but like others said, MJ is ahead in quality right now.
in3d··on Midjourney AI Guide
Have you tried ControlNet with Stable Diffusion?
in3d··on Anthropic’s $5B, 4-year plan to take on OpenAI
France paid for Bloom: https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/07/12/1055817/inside-a...

It hasn’t been very impressive (undertrained I believe).

in3d··on Show HN: Tabby – A self-hosted GitHub Copilot
What programming language are you using? It’s better in more popular languages.
in3d··on OpenAI tech gives Microsoft's Bing a boost in search battle with Google
Sundar should be fired. Google has blown its lead in AI research by being too hesitant to release products, while search quality has continued to decline. Bard is poor compared to ChatGPT 3.5, let alone GPT-4.
in3d··on GPT-4
Can you share what field you’re talking about?
in3d··on GPT-4
The weights file could be encrypted and require a password before becoming usable.
in3d··on GPT-4
Seems like this is where centralized countries like China can get a significant edge over the U.S.
in3d··on ChatGPT Explained: A normie's guide to how it works
Ted Chiang writes good stories but this metaphor is misleading.
in3d··on Why am I not terrified of AI?
Scott Aaronson's thinking is heavily influenced by the Holocaust, which has led him to some debatable conclusions. Nonetheless, his writings are worth reading.

in3d··on Could we make the web more immersive using a simple optical illusion?
A couple of 3D display products are coming this year: https://www.leiainc.com/newsroom/reservations-open-for-world... and https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/01/asus-new-16-inch-wor.... As my username might suggest, I’m excited! I hope they become less niche with time.
in3d··on YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki is stepping down
Yes. They’ve explicitly downranked criticism (they posted about it on Twitter maybe a year ago) and with the removal of downvotes, it’s much harder to quickly figure out how good is the video.
in3d··on Bing: “I will not harm you unless you harm me first”
A script kiddie can connect GPT3.5 through its API to generate a bunch of possible exploits or other hacker scripts and auto execute them. Or with a TTS API and create plausible sounding personalized scripts that spam call or email people. And so on - I’m actually purposefully not mentioning other scenarios that I think would be more insidious. You don’t need much technical skills to do that.
in3d··on Bing: “I will not harm you unless you harm me first”
You don’t need MLOps people. All you need is a script kiddie. The API to access GPT3 is available.
in3d··on Liu Cixin's Technologies of the Future
Not all good books have to be high literature about well-developed characters going on emotional journeys and learning about themselves or whatever. We can use books about thought-provoking big ideas with some twists thrown in.
in3d··on AI-powered lawyer will be first of its kind to represent defendant in court
Sorry, I can’t ever write clearly on the phone, this site is very mobile-unfriendly. I meant that defendants would be able to talk to the AI about their case to learn as much as they want. A public defender can’t commit that much time to each of their cases.
in3d··on AI-powered lawyer will be first of its kind to represent defendant in court
Thanks, fixed
in3d··on AI-powered lawyer will be first of its kind to represent defendant in court
If poor people can only get the bot, that means the Constitution was changed. I don’t see how that could be the tech’s fault. It’s more likely that the AI would free up public defenders from things like having to answer their clients’ questions, as they could just ask the AI, allowing them to be more effective.
in3d··on AI-powered lawyer will be first of its kind to represent defendant in court
I mean, if the AI app is better than public defenders, it’s still progress. Rich people can already afford experts, so the inequality would be lessened.
in3d··on Ketamine disrupts late sensory information transfer in corticothalamic network
You’re making unsupported assertions. It is unclear how dose-dependent the therapeutic effects are. I definitely haven’t seen anything to suggest that microdoses can work as well as larger doses.
