In Canada too. It's not that common, but also not out of place to see people doing their regular commute on skis.
Is this a good thing? Consuming plastic means releasing all the carbon that they're made of.
This article got me curious about how these 1-bit models worked so I read up on it a bit.
https://arxiv.org/html/2402.11295v3
The model parameters aren't completely converted to 1-bit. It's decomposed into a sign matrix (the 1-bit part) and two full precision vectors which together make a rank 1 approximation of the original matrix. So if I understand correctly, this means everything still functions the same way as a regular transformer. Input vectors, intermediate values, and outputs, all are full precision and have no problem going through nonlinearities.
Health Canada denied the request due to lack of research into the efficacy of the drug to treat cluster headaches.
That's a load of BS. We know it helps this one person. Why does it matter if it helps the average person suffering this affliction?
That's how things work in the AI community. Publications all go through various conferences and journals that are free to submit to. In many of these avenues, if you submit something, the cost is to get a certain number of papers reviewed (not necessarily doing it yourself, but you have to find someone capable of doing it). The publications are then made freely available for anyone to read. Everything is organized by the research community for the benefit of that same community.
That's LLMs for ya
My local bakeries use paper bags. But they also don't sell sliced bread.
It's the term that researchers use, so does that not make it a technical term? It's also the only term we have for describing this line of work and its outputs, so until we have a replacement, it'll continue to be called AI.
Modern problems require modern problems
As far as I can tell, Costco isn't the lesser of two evils, but rather the one non evil choice of the pair. Their profit margin is something like 2%, which is just what they get from membership fees. But this is what I recall from memory, and it's data from many years ago, so if anyone has evidence to the contrary, do share.
If your bread isn't good enough to be pizza dough, then you're eating terrible bread. I'm sorry.
Besides what's already been said, even if there is food waste from things left on the shelves, at least this allows us to know that certain items are undesirable for everyone and to avoid acquiring more of them. If you hand out a bit to everyone and they all end up in different trash bins, you'll never know about it and you'll never fix the problem.
