This is patently insane. Yes, keep blaming outside agents for the flood of corruption that holds the region hostage. Is the US to blame? Of course, but in a limited sense, and not without your own leaders selling you out. And the socialist experiment has been run in parallel with Venezuela, a country that certainly isn’t a shining utopia, and orthogonally in Scandinavia, where you have social democracy yet vanishingly low levels of corruption compared to South America.
Yeah because you’re not a child anymore. This is like saying you can’t get into fruit rollups like you used to. Don’t fight your nature and find some mature hobbies to get excited about rather than looking forward to the next Zelda game.
I interviewed for an ML scientist role (remote) while I was feeling a bit under the weather. I got through to a round with the founder/CEO and things were going well. However, this was a few days later and I was beginning to feel not so good, lots of brain fog and fatigue. The interviewer asked me a fairly basic question about a certain module and why one would use it and what the effect would be with given parameters. I sort of dropped the ball and said something reasonable but not super rigorous, and I could tell the interviewer wasn’t very satisfied.
The next day I took a COVID test and it was positive. I should’ve postponed the interview as soon as something was off but it would be weeks until I felt better. I ended up getting a better offer at a better company but it still hurt to be rejected at least in part because I wasn’t feeling 100%. Live and learn.
I have no interest in big tech but I think this is false, it’s still an asset. Now, is it what it used to be? No. But you can get hired pretty easily. And if you think Google stunts you you’re going to love legacy companies. Now Meta, that’s another story…
You could take a similar approach to detection (hypothetically). You provide writing samples a LLM is fine tuned on, then future texts could possibly be filtered by perplexity or similar to detect obvious differences in style. Of course, there would be side effects, and ideally we don’t start creating incentives where we don’t need to. Man, I’m glad I learned to write before all this.
That’s just a supervised fine tuning method to skew outputs favorably. I’m working with it on biologics modeling using laboratory feedback, actually. The underlying inference structure is not changed.
You can get rid of the television and coffee table and seating. We all have a choice. Your older self and partner and kids will thank you for being in good shape for longer.
It’s difficult to disentangle people’s desire for Google to fail due to layoffs and corporate misbehavior from legitimate analysis about how LLMs will cause Google to fail.
Typically, outside experts are useful for out of distribution inference about a particular situation. Fine-tuned generative AI is self evidently not good at generalizing outside the scope of its training data, and becoming reliant on it for this task is foolish.
Signed, AI researcher.
There are other options, including TPUs. Besides, cloud computing is what any sensible practitioner uses, despite how building a home rig is a fun hobby.
I disagree with the analogy you draw (no pun intended). Good creative design is the edge case for a model like this and is naturally much less tractable than getting to this level of design (I’m not a fan).
“I wish I majored in biology and CS and got a PhD” says the author. So do your readers and investors. This investor skill mismatch is a huge problem in biotech and a major reason for the COVID boost and recent crash.
Exactly. I was into a half dozen top law schools and had a very good LSAT score but what you mentioned nagged at me until I chose a technical masters instead.
Let's all give this 12 year old kid some applause. Me water-cooling my xbox 360 (yes, and I wasn't alone in doing so) at 13 felt cool, but this is on another level.
He never once wrote that only first-rate colleges produce these individuals, nor has anyone with any sense ever stood by rankings as anything more than a proxy for some deeper hierarchy. And yes, like it or not, the higher ranked schools attract and produce more ambitious and intelligent humans in the aggregate.
yeah, well (and this might be a stretch for you to consider) maybe they reduced the return window because people like you expect every item to last indefinitely.
Your energy calculations seem implausible, irrelevant, and perhaps even sinister sinister. (similar to the conservative talking point about how busses, per passenger, are less efficient than cares because busses don't operate on average at capacity).
yeah, very "funny". Especially since rail, even diesel rail is far more efficient than any air travel. Think about it. Why is air freight more expensive?
