Not an expert but #7 is -almost- elementary.

What went wrong with Intel?

Not noise but an actual byte-by-byte encoding/serialization of the GPT-2 small model weights.

Try subscribing to any of them but from a new address, without signing up for Substack.

Then, to replicate the evidence for the shadow profile, try unsubscribe from any of them from a signed-out session. The unsubscribe page may show a shadow profile with the new address then.

Very good yes. Such is my experience, not only with Latin. Received language instruction may have it exactly backwards.

I disagree. I found the review useful.

"How will writers (or anyone else who creates anything that can be digitized, from movies to music to apps to journalism) make a living in an era in which digital content can be freely replicated?"

Tour de force, truly. Amazing work!

This is a fundamental observation:

"Prompt injection occurs because an LLM cannot distinguish between the “system prompt” created by a developer and the rest of the context that is appended to the query."

Important caveat — from the abstract: "For both weather and climate, our approach offers orders of magnitude computational savings over conventional GCMs, although our model does not extrapolate to substantially different future climates."

Key quote:

"The miracle of Ingenuity is that all of these commercially bought, off-the-shelf components worked. Radiation didn't fry the Qualcomm computer. The brutal thermal cycles didn't destroy the battery's storage capacity. Likewise, the avionics, sensors, and cameras all survived despite not being procured with spaceflight-rated mandates."

Unrelated but see also 'stress' by Amos Waterland, an excellent workload generator to impose CPU, memory, I/O or disk stress on POSIX systems and report any errors that come up [1,2]. The tool unfortunately hasn't been maintained for some time, but it's being resurrected [2].

Yes. Below is the first live example of possible AI SEO bait I have seen, sent to me unbeknownst by an investor friend (visit at your own risk):

The paraphrase may be done by hand but my (naïf) sense it is not. You judge. The copy goes:

(Bloomberg) — Corewave, a cloud computing provider that is becoming one of the hottest startups in the artificial intelligence race, is exploring a minority stake sale that could value the company at $8, according to people with knowledge of the matter. billion or more. Case.

A Corwave representative declined to comment.

Nvidia Corp. for CoreWeave data centers was an early adopter of graphics chips, getting ahead of the wave rolling through the technology. [...]

Excellent quote:

"When I came to Washington before World War II to head the electrical section of the Bureau of Ships, I found that one man was in charge of design, another of production, a third handled maintenance, while a fourth dealt with fiscal matters. The entire bureau operated that way. It didn’t make sense to me. Design problems showed up in production, production errors showed up in maintenance, and financial matters reached into all areas. I changed the system. I made one man responsible for his entire area of equipment—for design, production, maintenance, and contracting. If anything went wrong, I knew exactly at whom to point. I run my present organization on the same principle."

Probably among the worst planned "technical upgrades" ever (emphasis added):

"Coinbase will be conducting a scheduled technical systems upgrade starting Saturday, March 4 2023 on or around 8am PT. We expect this process to take up to 8 hours to complete, however this estimated time is subject to change.

During this scheduled downtime, trading, transfers, and access to funds on Coinbase.com (Simple and Advanced Trade) and our mobile app [will be unavailable? [sic]]. In addition, any recurring buys will be delayed until the system upgrade is complete. However, you will still be able to access your account during this downtime. Upon completion of the initial technical systems upgrade, we will progressively re-enable trading."

Quoting fully the tweet:

"GPT-4 will never be built.

Absent a fundamental breakthrough, a human-level 17T parameter model would take about 149 years and $350B of compute to train."

"The Google of the early 2000s, globe-spanning and yet delighting in esoterica, was on its way to becoming a historic framework, Standard Oil crossed with Bell Labs. Not only that, it was crazy, starry-eyed: It was an asylum by and for the lunatics, a padded room big enough to hold the world."

(Apologies for the likely rules-breaking title; but I don't know of any clear guidance on how to title tweets on HN.)

Yes. Posted here (and with some important qualifications): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32948345

Not Nature but Molecular Systems Biology [2], apologies, in the context of reverse docking for antibiotics discovery:

"We confirm extensive promiscuity, but find that the average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (auROC) is 0.48, indicating weak model performance."

Derek Lowe had a post about this earlier this month [1] (which includes important qualifications I failed to omit).

[1] "Benchmarking AlphaFold-enabled molecular docking predictions for antibiotic discovery", Molecular Systems Biology 2022 18:e11081 https://doi.org/10.15252/msb.202211081

[2] "Not AlphaFold's Fault", September 7 2022, https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/not-alphafold-s-fa...

Not with recent results in Nature I believe reporting glaring mispredictions. Lots of promotion notwithstanding, AlphaFold may not be usable yet.

Disagree, but opinions differ on Zalamea.

Badiou is a user, not a philosopher of mathematics (he himself would agree). Being and Event —neither volume of the now trilogy— is certainly not about mathematics, nor philosophy of mathematics. Rather, self-avowedly, it is a work in the service of radical politics.

For a guide with some wonderfully lucid essays, see the masterful

Timothy Gowers (et al., eds) The Princeton Companion to Mathematics (Princeton UP, 2008).

Utterly disagree. It borders scholarly malpractice.

After, naturally, PEP 20 [1].
