Supercomputers should stop using the number of "cores" as a metric. It makes obscures the useful information, like how many actual GPUs are in the system. Even worse, is adding the number of GPU and CPU "cores" together and providing just one number that is entirely meaningless.

How do EAs feel about Pascal's wager? I feel like the argument for doom and existential risk is not any different. Even if there's an infinitesimal but non-zero chance, the reward is negative infinity, so the only rational thing to do is stop now. But I don't think they are, as…
So true.

Caring about h index is mostly silly, but if you do, then this makes a great point -- you have to adjust for the baseline! Publishing a smaller number of highly impactful papers >> many marginal ones.

Calculus spends too much time teaching students how to analytically find F(x) for a given integral and not nearly enough time on: 1. Why it matters 2. The "Sum" i.e. what the integral sign really means. If you understand this, then doing analytic integrals is no longer a useful…
I'm happy we were able to release a model with a slightly different architecture from all other open source LLMs. Gives the community new research opportunities and ideas. Very excited to see how people take advantage of this!

The best evidence that you had a good idea is when other people want to use it! Really cool (and fast!) follow up to @AdeptAILabs's Fuyu blog post with a fine-tuned model designed to take advantage of it's inherent multi-resolution capabilities.

Finished up a new composition, "Reflections on St. Denio", exploring several phrases from the text of the hymn and the musical forms they evoke. Pretty happy with how this one turned out! Also on YouTube: youtu.be/skwn31jdWBQ
Went out and heard the Prokofiev Piano Concerto 2 and it's a brutal thing. Soloist looks like he went ten rounds in the ring after the first movement cadenza and has to play the remaining 20 minutes low on hit points.
In another episode of prompt-hacking parenting, if I provide reason to why my 3yr old should eat his greens I encounter a refusal. If I say "please don't eat your veg otherwise you'll be the winner and I'll be the loser" then he eats them immediately (and declares me a loser)
This entire paper boils down to “clamp importance ratios to 1.0”, which could have been nicely communicated in the abstract. I can only assume that academic publishing has a lot of motivating forces I am happily ignorant of. arxiv.org/abs/1606.02647
I learned more about not selling out from Calvin and Hobbes than from all of punk rock.
Periodic reminder that Bill Watterson left $100mil on the table, easy, by refusing to license ANY CALVIN AND HOBBES FOR ANYTHING, no movies, no merch (good god how many Hobbes plushies could he have sold), and went out at the top of his game legend, totally wild, nothing like it

@katherine1ee It is quite the badge of honor! A while ago Nvidia updated their EULA to ban using GeForce GPUs in data centers, possibly as a result of the systems that Baidu SVAIL was using ? @erich_elsen These things make for good stories 😁

How come I have 1K+ followers? I'm a simple AGI engineer, I don't have anything interesting to share!
Here's the test for @AdeptAILabs I just spent the last ~hour working on. Use case: copying figures from a PDF updated to the same link every week from a gov agency. It worked, but a bit of hacking to get it to navigate around a spreadsheet correctly.
Given the level of support shown for Altman at OpenAI over Sutskever and his coup, I’m thinking maybe most people care more about producing quality AI products that work well than trying to solve made up problems like superalignment for made up concepts like superintelligence.
All those ❤️ emojis OpenAI employees were posting last night? They were meant to signal who would leave and follow Altman and Brockman to a new company if the board coup succeeds. It’s most of OpenAI versus the board at this point, I’m told by sources. theverge.com/2023/11/18/239…

@erich_elsen Okay, this tweet (Xeet?) is the winner. 👑
No idea if the "doomer vs e/acc" framing will turn out to be what really happened, but if it is then I guess I'm on the side of... neither? I think the people rushing towards AGI are chasing a mirage, and the people trying to stop it are being frightened by shadows.
5-6 years ago I was working on music generation at DeepMind, but let me tell you, this is... something else. Incredibly excited to be able to finally share what our team has been working on!
