Big if, there have been many agreements between Israel and Palestine!
Probably need to wait at least 2 years, preferably like 8-10 but by then he might already be dead (natural causes).
Hypothesis: it's the standard "teacher-student" or "distillation" trick - if you're learning next-token-prediction, you only learn what the correct answer is (i.e. the spike in probability), but when you're distilling from a teacher model, you learn the entire distribution of potential answers.
Curious, can anyone more experienced in AI research comment on this?
I think it’s mostly ridiculous, though on other grounds than “fairness”.
The point is fairness, not progressiveness.
The idea is, if you live in your own house, you’re no better off than if you lived in another property and rented out your property, and paid the tax on the rent you get.
It’s supposed to reduce friction / bias in the market (though you could also obviously argue the reverse).
In fact, this idea is so amazing, we should create a new political philosophy around it!
How should we call it? Share-ism? Freedom-ism? Or, maybe just Capital-ism?
"The enemy's forces are shelling us. Do we want to attack back? Who votes for/against?"
That’s why military is a dictatorship.
That’s why “design by committee” has such a bad rep.
The only problem with dictatorships is that you can’t change them. Also countries shouldn’t fail, so an orderly “change of power” process is needed.
But you can change companies, and companies can fail.
trust me, there would be 99% compliance in very short order
It requires changing the law.
Which is very difficult, and requires a broad coalition in 2 houses of parliament.
On the other hand, executive orders are very easy.
I wish the better solutions get implemented, but until they are, we have to seek alternatives.
100% of Hitler's reign was legal. Everything he did was 100% legal.
Morality is and must be above laws.
(Edit: ChatGPT reminds me that Hitler's post-1933 actions were legal; the earlier (and failed) "Beer Hall Putsch" was illegal.)
Checking a token is the same as generating it.
The benefit however is in the next (third) token. After generating tokens 1 and 2 (in one turn), you start generating token 3 (and 4). You also get the “real” prediction for token 2. If the “real” prediction matches the MTP (Multi-Token Prediction) from previous turn, you have just generated 3 correct tokens (and another speculative). If not, you’ve now corrected token 2, but token 3 is wrong (it follows the wrong token 2) so you need ti generate it again.
Interestingly, recently I've been thinking that basically the Big-O notation is essentially a scam, in particular the log(N) part.
For small values of N, log(N) is essentially a constant, <= 32, so we can just disregard it, making sorting simply O(N).
For large values, even so-called linear algorithms (e.g. linear search) are actually O(N log(N)), as the storage requirements for a single element grow with log(N) (i.e. to store distinct N=2^32 elements, you need N log(N) = 2^32 * 32 bits, but to store N=2^64 elements, you need 2^64 * 64 bits).
Cache locality consideration make this effect even more pronounced.
> The US has spent decades preventing and delaying the EU becoming a defacto state
> I am just saying trump is driving [pressure for EU armed forces]
So which is it, is US stopping EU from federalizing, or accelerating it?
The best possible reading is, before Trump US was stopping, now it's accelerating, but that's what I asked - what's your source / data / facts / circumstantial evidence that US used to try to prevent / delay EU federalizing?
I don't see it, or if there was, it was completely in-consequential, because there was enough hesitancy within EU already.
From my perspective, as an European, there's plenty of forces / population within the EU that doesn't want federalization.
Even myself, I'm generally pro-federalization (necessary to solve some structural problems, border, army, money), I definitely don't want to give even more power to Germany (biggest and most powerful EU country), so the only way forward would be for Germany to massively diminish their power... but then they probably wouldn't want that.
Why wouldn't the US do the same in Denmark or any other Western country?
The question is about conversion is, is it still cheap if you add a powerplant (i.e. converting heat into electricity) and have to maintain it (moving parts, in contrast to batteries).
The issue here is: the "stored energy" isn't electricity, but heat. Converting heat into electricity is quite wasteful.
Has TI ever made anything nearly as complex as CPUs? Has NVIDIA? (Hint: the answer is "no"). Intel is pretty much the only option, though ChatGPT suggests GlobalFoundries as a potential other option (spun out of AMD).
IMO it's great news, it means that the right-wing will keep winning for many years!
Would you like people who think raping 12-year-olds is fine because their prophet did it, living in your neighborhood, and going from 10% to 90% of the local population?
Some cultures are just better than others. Some are downright evil.
