These guys are clearly at least somewhat intelligent and have brought up arguments in the past that I, in my infinite wisdom, haven’t considered. It’s up to me whether I take those arguments onboard after a sufficient amount of research. So I don’t think we should not listen at all. We should just not be all-in.

I think it’s possible to create 2 dating profiles with the same pictures and change occupation only. It doesn’t have to be real to measure the impact of occupation.

You can't just arbitrarily change (confounding) variables like that for a proper experiment. All other factors (including physique) must remain the same while you change one thing only: occupation.

Think of all the menial stuff you must perform regardless of experience level. E.g. you change the return type of a function and now you have to unpack the results slightly differently. Traditional automated tools fail at this. But if you show some examples to Cursor, it quickly catches on to the pattern and start autocompleting semi-automatically (semi because you still have to put the cursor to the right place but then you can tab, tab, tab…).

Try putting on a dating website that you work at Google vs you work in agriculture and tell us which yielded more dates.

Why did the schizophrenia become less common according to this theory?

Quite often, yes. That's why I prefer integration tests.

Apple has invested $95M, and missing $14.75M. So they have reached 86% of the 40% target. Based on this logic, 34% of the iPhone 16 was sourced from Indonesia? Not trying to be snarky, I'm probably misunderstanding this.

Sidenote: this website is unreadable on a mobile browser due to popups, auto-playing videos, etc.

> The tanh smashing function just makes sure nothing can blow up into large numbers and all outputs are in a range of less than 1.

That's not the main point even though it probably helps. As OkayPhysicist said above, without a nonlinearity, you could collapse all the weight matrices into a single matrix. If you have 2 layers (same size, for simplicity) described by weight matrices A and B, you could multiply them and get C, which you could use for inference.

Now, you can do this same trick not only with 2 layers but 100 million, all collapsing into a single matrix after multiplication. If the nonlinearities weren't there, the effective information content of the whole NN would collapse into that of a single-layer NN.

> That's the only non-linearity I'm aware of.

"only" is doing a lot work here because that non-linearity is enough to vastly expand the landscape of functions that an NN can approximate. If the NN was linear, you could greatly simplify the computational needs of the whole thing (as was implied by another commenter above) but you'd also not get a GPT out of it.

What does a low level wizard need to know more specifically?

Say more please.

The fact that he's a solo dev giving his project away for free (even for a limited time) is a good enough reason.

I don't think there's such a thing as key frames here, just frames. And if you run SD through every frame, the output will be janky because SD doesn't know about temporal coherence.

I'd be really interested in reliable info about the gender ratio on Math Group apps. Also how their matching/scoring algo works. There must have been at least one ex engineer who leaked something.

I thought the creator of Deno, Ryan Dahl, is also the creator of NodeJS. So by your reasoning, the development of Deno should go faster than Bun's, no?

Normies won't use these. UX needs to be simple.

Does that actually work?

NCC is really terrifying. There's no real prophylaxis methods for humans AFAIK. However, the disease should be eradicable now by vaccination of pigs. If not everywhere, at least certain countries. For example Madagascar is among the worst affected by NCC and it's an island country so complete eradication should be easier. Some actually effective altruist billionaire should step up and do it.

As a counterpoint to that, I grew up in a blue-collar family under modest circumstances and I still feel like bigcorp software development is soul-crushing. Surely, you appreciate it for a while. But eventually the reality of it sets in, and can't ignore the BS anymore.

I know I'm luckier than most humans on Earth, but still hedonistic adaptation is a thing, even if you grew up in a poor family.

Same applies to Apple terminating legitimate developer accounts and thus destroying livelihoods.

Accurately or the way humans do it?

Not in my experience. Sonnet gets to the point quicker, but hallucinates more than GPT4. I'm keen to try Opus.

What's so irresponsible about it? He clearly communicated the state of affairs.

I think he was generous enough with his time for creating the library in the first place and posting this update. It's not like he's owing anything to anybody. I don't understand how you can demand him to do further UNPAID work to recruit maintainers who would also do further unpaid work.

Because the human talent will not have many alternatives left in this scenario. So far they could stay in the technical lane, now they will be forced into AI-management.

I only tried GPT4 but it has a way better command of language than many people I know and I include myself in that. If GPT4 doesn't understand language, then I don't either.

Would you apply the same line of reasoning to flying? That branch of engineering had a huge amount of detractors too who were confidently right until they weren't. My point is, no one knows how close we are to AGI. Taking the sceptical stance is rewarding because you're right most of the time, except when you aren't in which case you're astronomically wrong.

Did you really see 5 years ago that we will have talking computers now that understand when you speak to them? I certainly haven't. What GPT-4 is now has been squarely in sci-fi realm for many people.

Aren't there some fundamental issues with the Max regarding its engine placement which necessitated the MCAS system that was responsible for the two fatal crashes? If that's true, I don't think the Max can be as safe as a plane that doesn't have these issues in the first place due to its design.

Do you not think that AI has been doing quite a lot of "actually coming into existence" the past decade? Did we have computers 10 years ago that could beat the best humans at Go, generate photorealistic images or converse in natural language? Rather than the definition changing, the goalpost might be moving a little bit here.
