You shall be remembered
  • First time I read about it and even more surprised that for 38,000$ they don't even talk details. They talk about videos, audio, photos, etc. but how much storage space?

    Update: Ok looks like it's based on the business/creator plan ... so 50GB. There isn't even a bulk discount because the creator plan is 25$/month, so just 30,000$ per 100 years 🤔 The entire "deal" is just nuts.

  • Long Cow is coming
  • The same is true for your brain. Show me the neurons that are fluent in Chinese. Of course the LLM is just executing code. And if we have AGI it will also just be "executing code" but so does your brain. It's not exactly code (but maye AGI will be analog computers, so not exactly code either) but the laws of physics dictate what your brain does. The laws of physics don't understand Chinese, the atoms and molecules don't understand Chinese. "Understanding Chinese" is an emergent property.

    Think about it that way: Assume every person you know (execpt you) is just some form of Chinese Room ... You first of all couldn't prove that and second it wouldn't matter at all.

  • Long Cow is coming
  • Your brain is also "just a Chinese room". It's just physic, chemistry and biology. There is no magic inside your brain. If a "Chinese room" is fast enough and can fool everyone into "believing" that it's fluent in chinese, than the room speaks chinese.

  • Beautiful but worrying 🌍
  • I also think that this is what will happen (not only discussed) but unless we master fusion it's practically just fixing a symptom and we'd have to do that for quite a while and the oceans will probably become too acidic.

  • 1-bit LLMs Could Solve AI’s Energy Demands
  • It depends what you mean by useful. Most humans are (at least at the moment) more versatile than even the most advanced AI we have. But you have to keep in mind that there are jobs with pretty mundane tasks where you don't really need the intelligence and versatility of a human.

  • 1-bit LLMs Could Solve AI’s Energy Demands
  • True, but It's still not what I meant unless they kill those humans. The employees that did that work before still need the 100W. It might be that they can now do something else (or just be unemployed) but the net energy usage is not going down.

  • 1-bit LLMs Could Solve AI’s Energy Demands
  • The problem is that using those tools no matter how energy efficient will add to the total amount of energy humans use, because even if an AI generates an image faster than a human could, the human still needs 100W constantly.

    This doesn't mean, that we shouldn't make it more efficient but let's be honest, more energy efficient AI just means that we would use even more AI everywhere.

  • Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytes

    zeta.one zeta.one

    Blog about random technical stuff.

    I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.

    This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It's about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.

    Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.

    https://zeta.one/viral-math/

    I wrote a (very long) blog post about those viral math problems and am looking for feedback, especially from people who are not convinced that the problem is ambiguous.

    It's about a 30min read so thank you in advance if you really take the time to read it, but I think it's worth it if you joined such discussions in the past, but I'm probably biased because I wrote it :)

    Found that on a playground in Austria [OC]

    Our kids really liked it, thank you kind stranger.
