I have the right not to sell poison to someone who I have reason to believe will use it to kill a third party. The idea of simply trusting the patron to be responsible makes sense when the patron is anonymous or a new contact. It’s generally good to assume good intentions in the absence of evidence, I think. If the government is not anonymous enough to get this treatment.

I don’t see how you can make this claim when the budget balance at universities is extremely tilted towards stem. The budget for the kind of programs you seem to be complaining about come out to percents. Hard to say universities are “more interested” in very very small parts of their budget. What is happening now though is the federal government holds back billions of dollars in medical research grants, punishing, in some cases even killing patients, over “ideological” issues.

I haven’t really had this issue. UV’s recommendation is to mount the uv.lock and install those manages package versions to the container’s global pip environment. We haven’t had much issue at my work, where we use this to auto-manage python developer’s execution environments at scale.

IIRC the rules system for magic the gathering: Arena is generated by a sort of compiler fed the rules. You might not even need a modern coding assistant to build out something reasonable in a DSL that is perfect, then have people (or an LLM after fine tuning) transforms rule books into the DSL.

There are three observations that are helpful to know about here: A: High quality, battle tested architectures are sold via an API and samples are therefore easy to retrieve at scale. B: lower quality, novel architectures are often published on GitHub and can be scaled on budget compute resources. C: Often these models perform well at classifying content generated by architectures similar to those they were trained on, even if that architecture is not identical.

As for actual lead time associated with our actual strategy, that’s probably not something I can talk about publicly. I can say I’m working on making it happen faster.

I attended this talk in person and some context is needed. He was invited for the “test of time” talk series. This explains the historical part of the talk. I think his general persona and association with ai led to the fluffy speculation at the end.

I notice with Ilya he wants to talk about these out there speculative topics but defends himself with statements like “I’m not saying when or how just that it will happen” which makes his arguments impossible to address. Stuff like this openly invites the crazies to to interact with him, as seen with the cryptocurrency question at the end.

Right before this was a talk reviewing the impact of GANs that stayed on topic for the conference session throughout.

At the moment I’m working on a system to quickly replicate academic deep learning repos (papers) at scale. At least Amazon has a catalogue of prebuilt containers with cuda/pytorch combos. I still occasionally have an issue where the container works on my 3090 test bench but not on the T4 cloud node…

Counter counter point: apples hardware division has been doing great work in the last 5 years, it’s their software that seems to have gone off the rails (in my opinion).

I would describe those issues as technical. It’s genuinely getting things wrong because the “safety” element was implemented poorly.
