we will see!

I do find that it reliably crashes on the first try, but then it picks up from where it finishes and completes the conversion reliably.

Well, he lost his job on that bet... and yet... I do not think that the verdict of history is quite in.

What's their moat / secret sauce?

Currently 4.9% of the company is on the market.

Mid Aug... 15%...

40% by December.

Elon unlocks next June. Could be quite academic by then.

This is very helpful though, thank you.

Our world appeared computable, but it isn't, even if P=NP.

This is staggering bullshitp. In what way does understanding a transformer allow you to solve the core problem of LLM's that no frontier lab has managed to resolve?

>>To fix the problem, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) forces AI to look up information in a trusted source such as a company’s database.

This also is bullshit. Yes, RAG helps and reduces errors, but NOOOO! it does not fix hallucinations...

>>Prioritizing data security. When using AI with proprietary code, security is a major concern. Engineers must learn how to set up “private” instances of the models to ensure that sensitive company data stays within a secure cloud environment and is not used to train public versions.

This is somewhat true, but really the motive is providing a soverign instance that cannot be withdrawn for arbitary reasons. Fundamentally the big providers are not going to steal your data, they may change the license to allow them to use it in the future, but then all their big customers will leave. So, they won't be able to, probably. What might well happen (and has happened) is that the USA might withdraw access with no notice leaving you high and dry.

I want to learn to build a real LLM so I looked at https://allenai.org/olmo where there are instructions and ingredients. But, unfortunately I can't afford the required compute resource so I will have to wait for a bit I guess.

He probably can't any more (I have no idea what the implications of his stomach disorder are, but I don't imagine great). But if he can I hope he has a beer and just relaxes and gets some happy vibes for a time.

You do realise that you'll never work in this town again? \s :)

So... you tell me. Why no experiment? Not one in 50 years?

In the meantime we've learned a lot about the Martian atmosphere, it's climate, it's history, it's geology, the evolution of it's surface. I would argue that if a Viking 3 had flown with a revised kit that produced a definitive signal we wouldn't have got any of that.

What is odd is that there hasn't been a single other mission that's carried any experiment that has the objective of creating that result.

If the objective is to find life, why isn't anyone actually looking?

Tell me if what I've said above is in any way factually incorrect.

I think that median household disposable income is a much better way of looking at this than GDP.

2014 is the turn. The US gained shale, isolationism is possible, Trump 2 is created by the general (true) perception that things were good under Trump 1. The European war starts and China is left to dominate Asia.

"Why are we not spending that money on more social housing?" : Because this is the greatest mystery of our time... (nods all round)

"Why are we doing science?": I don't know and I don't care, cut my taxes! (Cheering and mocking comments about nerds.)

I suspect that NASA knows this full well, as do Mars scientists, and I suspect that they are being very careful to make sure that definitive proof does not appear until they understand all sorts of other stuff about the planet.
