I don’t really see how torrents solved this problem as so many seeders for any file could simply disappear. Not to mention, the significantly higher bandwidth costs of higher resolution video nowadays. I’m less familiar…
That’s 2023? There’s a new series of accusations that the article is a response to? https://www.wsj.com/world/ukraine-starlink-elon-musk-trump-d...
Well, the masking could be causal and I think that's been investigated by several groups.
Well, that’s true for a lot of TCS algorithms. The n log n algorithm prior was also not very practical for any numbers relevant to humans.
I also don't think there was general consensus on which way this would resolve prior to this (or is that a little out dated?) unlike some of the other major problem resolutions. I heard rumors that there would be a big…
I don't think this is how preferred suppliers have typically worked through the supply chain risk considering the US has definitely had preferred suppliers before and has not historically used this against a US company…
I think this was discussed ad nauseum last time so I am wondering if somehow this has changed but the biggest part of the issue last time was the retaliation. You seem to suggest that this was due to the government not…
I think the Navier Stokes problem kind of illustrates what he’s highlighting. I think most people even before AI expected that this would resolve in the negative and that you could get finite time blow up. There wasn’t…
To be quite clear, the solution to the _Navier Stokes problem_ is one in which you get a finite time blow up (i.e. infinite pressure). This is more meant to suggest that Navier Stokes is unphysical in some way which is…
I don't think OpenAI solved the unforced version either according the document unless I'm missing a piece? I think they both solved the forced version which is not the $1,000,000 prize variant.
I'm curious what regulatory pressure there is on EU AI companies that wouldn't apply to many of the US firms. The AI Act and GDPR still apply to the tech giants since they operate in the EU (e.g. Anthropic…
This is rather weird framing since usually an additional citizenship (especially one in a country like the US) is considered a valuable thing to have for your child. Usually people claiming birthright citizenship are…
I know this is a bit cliche but I wonder how much headroom there is in the lower parameter count range. Is there any good reason to believe there is a lot of headroom or there is not? I suppose I'm just wondering if…
I'm not the biggest fan of the current age verification schemes, but I don't think the idea kids can lie about their age differs in the threat model posed under either system. Presumably, under the law, parents would be…
The final time complexity for Karatsubas does account for the addition via the master theorem and gives you something less than n^2. It’s just in some sense the recursion is dominant so we add to the exponent. As a…
Given more code hosting services, I wonder if we'll also see a corresponding increase in the number of alternative VCS or if git is legitimately very entrenched as a tool. I am just being a bit grouchy but I do wish…
I actually agree to an extent with the idea that there is also some obvious political influence on LLMs on stuff like GLM or DeepSeek. This is reflected in conversations even on HN where this is brought up as a risk so…
I think I understand your point but the funnier response to this question is that actually sometimes it is: https://futurism.com/grok-looks-up-what-elon-musk-thinks To your narrow point, it's very obvious that Musk…
I think the distinction with the Chinese models (or with any of the other models) is that they aren't particularly vocal and obviously active about their politics. I don't see how political commentary about Musk's is…
This is essentially an open research question. ML theory is unfortunately very weak relative to where the empirics are. I think there's a relatively optimistic paper that was posted a while back here but I would also…
So I can't tell if the linked commit is an actual attempt or just an experiment but it did always strike me as odd to make a JS runtime in Zig when my impression was there were a lot of work-stopping compiler bugs at…
I'm curious how this view fits in with BERT or the T5 release which prior to the current LLM craze were the de facto language models for use in pretty much any tasks. Was this a position that would've otherwise grown…
Some of those organizations (Linux and Mozilla) work on open source code for which they are already trained on. For clients like Apple, they almost surely have agreements to not do that.
Well it did contain a request to not notify according to that same letter. I suppose that brings up several questions. 1. Does that mean the same thing in the ToS? 2. How valid are these requests?
Depends on how legitimate you consider an administrative warrant and how willingly you think complying with one is. On a more practical level, forcing them to go to court might not be much better. If this went to a FISA…
