Would that be unified memory? Where the gpu and cpu can share the memory? Which is key for performance.

LLM are way older. The Nobel prize for it shows how they made many of the breakthroughs decades ago ChatGTP was the popular breakthrough. Even then your Smartphone keyboard has been using an LLM for a decade.

Because optimizing for security is sometimes specifically decreasing convenience. In the original (first) article some of those considerations are discussed.

So I was curious what they mean by sending out an id for gps. Since that seems to me not something that is happening for all types of GPS implementations.

This is great context for the cost claim. Which turns out only to be technically true when looking at the final run.

New comment by eddyzh in "Most people don't care about quality"

eddyzh — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 07:46:29 +0000

>But if there was a way to correctly tell people: "look, this smartphone is 20% more expensive, but it will last twice as long and it will be more convenient for you in ways you can't understand right now", nobody would go for the worse quality, right?

I am not sure if we are living in the same world. No most people absolutely do not make rational choices like that. No matter how you tell them.

Most importantly what you think is best for people is stil a perspective. Especially in the context of tv.

New comment by eddyzh in "Alignment faking in large language models"

eddyzh — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 07:04:14 +0000

Very fascinating read. Especially the reviewers comments linked at the end. The point is that alignment after training is much more complicated and limited than it might appear. And they make that point convincingly.

New comment by eddyzh in "Oldest human genomes reveal how a small group burst out of Africa"

eddyzh — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 06:31:16 +0000

Makes a huge claim at the start.

>"The huge gap between those ages could change our understanding about how humans spread across the world. If the ancestors of today’s non-Africans didn’t sweep across other continents until 47,000 years ago, then those older sites must have been occupied by earlier waves of humans who died off without passing down their DNA to the people now living in places like China and Australia."

But at the end gets a bit more balanced

>"He Yu, a paleogeneticist at Peking University in Beijing who was not involved in either study, said that the mystery wouldn’t be solved until scientists find DNA in some of the ancient Asian fossils. “We still need early modern human genomes from Asia to really talk about Asia stories,” Dr. Yu said."

This puzzle is still missing key elements.

While the highest catergoies are vague (web development vs cloud development) the specific clusters shown in the language specific examples expose a nation specific collectiev activity. While anonimized its stil exposing a lot of this collection of privat chats.

Good that the tell, but they did it before telling. I really hope they delete the detailed chats afterwards. They should and probably wont delete the first layer of aggregation.

They say something about retention after analysis by Clio but it's not very specific.

You might be interested in the Nobel prizes this year for (LLM relevant) science starting 70 years ago.

2 years ago was only when it went mainstream in a chat Format.

Also, you/average user has been typing with helpt of a (smaller) language model for about 9 years on mobile.

Quite unsatisfying read. Even for the title.

I guess he proves his point, it's hard to build a cutting edge system without much more research if you assembly it based on your own insights.

And most importantly: Connector labels don't mean what you should be able to expect them to mean. That point is no news sadly.

I would love to read from someone who actually knows what's happening and who goes on til the reason is found.

Any other articles?
