Mutton is really goat. Lamb is just lamb meat. IMO, lamb is sometimes harder to cook because of the smell - you need the right spices to get rid of the smell. Easy to get mutton in most urban areas in the west - just look for a Halal meat shop.
The risks are definitely real. Just look at the number of smart individuals speaking out about this.
The argument that anybody can build this in their basement is not accurate at the moment - you need a large cluster of GPUs to be able to come close to state of the art LLMs (e.g. GPT4).
Sam Altman's suggestion of having an IAEA [https://www.iaea.org/] like global regulatory authority seems like the best course of action. Anyone using a GPU cluster above a certain threshold (updated every few months) should be subjected to inspections and get a license to operate from the UN.
About time. Turns out Bahamas is not much of a safe haven.
Mission: "...develop innovative solutions that make government work better for the American people."
Values: Integrity, Inclusion, Impact
Wouldn't hurt to add "Innovation" as a value for a team of technologists.
Seems like Pytorch lightening is the only first-class citizen in your offering. Is that true? Or are there value-added features for TensorFlow and other non-DL libraries such as scikit-learn?
Also, is there support for distributed training for large datasets that don't fit into single instance memory? or just distributed grid-search/hyper-parameter optimization?
Yes, full role-based access control and audibility is key. This also highlights the need for data masking built into these DB systems. If data is gold, you need vaults to protect it.
I grew up in Pakistan. Simply put, this is due to a culture of nepotism and corruption.
There are thousands of credentialed pilots but very few pilot jobs in Pakistan. A job with the PIA is highly coveted and ensures life-long financial security and social status (this perhaps explains the overconfidence of the pilots when dealing with ATC). These jobs are usually handed out to people who have the right connections with the right people in power. Some of these candidates with the right connections only needs one of those thousands of desperate licensed candidates to sit in an exam for them. PIA is also said to have thousands of ground staff hired as favors by the ruling politicians all around the world.
Also worth mentioning that it wasn't always like this - pilots and executives from PIA were behind the launch of Emirates which is one of the most successful airlines in the world. So it is really a sad story of decay and is a representation of the deterioration in other parts of the country's society.
When the pilots fail to lower the landing gear, perhaps it is time to shut down the state-run airline that runs on a huge loss and serves the top one percent of the most poor populations in the world.
What about AWS? · Amazon Web Services (the “Cloud Computing” arm of the company), where I worked, is a different story. It treats its workers humanely, strives for work/life balance, struggles to move the diversity needle (and mostly fails, but so does everyone else), and is by and large an ethical organization.
As a former employee of AWS, I can vouch for this. AWS and Amazon.com should be looked at two totally different entities in terms of employee experience.
Yes, but I think successful entrepreneurs know when to move on, when to pivot and when to stick with it and PERSIST. I have quote framed at my desk that goes something like this:
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men[women] with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone will bring success."
Never had an issue with costco.com where I've made some of my big purchases.
