@163fighter @dwarkesh_sp Aren’t those chemical properties the rules? That makes sense otherwise

[Nick Sarkauskas @NickSarkauskas]

@163fighter @dwarkesh_sp There’s a phenomenal book summarizing the research on this topic called The Master Builder by Alfonso Arias. The view is increasingly changing to the cell being what truly encodes this information, and the DNA being just a helper

Inspired by “minimal implementation“ projects in AI such as @karpathy’s nanoGPT, I worked to bring this concept to the HPC world!

I’ve built a minimal implementation of an MPI library called nanoMPI, which focuses on clarity, simplicity, and easy installation.

@JosephMarella That result is from the Chinchilla paper from Deepmind last year

[Nick Sarkauskas @NickSarkauskas]

@JosephMarella I’m not an expert myself but as far as I understand, the literature on scaling laws says that right now we’re constrained by dataset size rather than model size. There’s just not enough training code for it to saturate the model to where you wouldn’t need an expert to fix it up

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.

@shoyer @ID_AA_Carmack 1) Is something like DALL-E-2 not evidence of composable reasoning? The model takes text and generates an image based on the text.
2) Moore’s law may be over, but I’m not convinced overall perf has hit a wall. Multicore CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, etc are the most obvious example of why

[Nick Sarkauskas @NickSarkauskas]

@shoyer @ID_AA_Carmack I believe it was genuine. What’s your perspective on AGI though? Why isn’t it even remotely feasible right now?

[Nick Sarkauskas @NickSarkauskas]

@shoyer @ID_AA_Carmack I’m not an AI expert but I do wonder why John’s tweet is worthy of a “LOL” from a staff level ML engineer at google. @shoyer, is it really 100% (not just 99.99…%) certain that an AGI model does not exist somewhere?

It's strange that student debt is higher than ever at the same time that educating oneself is easier than ever.

@drericcole Hi Dr. Cole, I am wondering about your take on the “no password reuse” policy many organizations have. If they store all of a user’s past passwords, doesn’t that increase risk?

@KHodgess @sara14jillian You would think that an omnipotent god would just not create people who “choose to be gay” if he really wanted there to be no gay people

@jessfraz I only use Windows for gaming—I’m not a fan of the intrusive updates and telemetry that goes on

[Nick Sarkauskas @NickSarkauskas]

@sam_whelpley I haven’t taken it yet but at Ohio State they teach x86 in our systems course. Im pretty hyped to learn it in depth

[Nick Sarkauskas @NickSarkauskas]

@sam_whelpley Pretty sweet! Dm me a pic?
