It was the same with most recent Star Treks too, including all of the new movies. They may as well have been titled “Generic Sci Fi Movie” and “Generic Sci Fi TV Show”
Strange New Worlds is the only Star Trek in a long, long time that has been worthy of the name Star Trek.
But well known and deeply loved IPs sell, so we get a ton of generic media with the name slapped on it.
I believe GPT-3 has a transformer-based architecture. So it doesn't recursively ingest it's own output in each iteration. I believe attention-based transformer models have enough complexity to be able to learn what you are talking about on their own.
GPT-3's transformers only recur some finite amount. Attention does a lot compared to a bog standard RNN, and probably if the numbers were tokenized it would be enough for most reasonable computations, but eventually you definitely would hit a cap. That's probably a good thing, of course. The network and training are Turing complete together, but it would suck if the network itself could fail to terminate.
Thank you for pointing out the difference. I went and reread about transformers; previously I thought they were a kind of RNN. (I am not an ML engineer.)
I don't think he is making any moral judgements in his analysis. It is you who are imposing your moral judgement here. He is taking a realist position here.
Yeah, this is the right place to fight about who has better tolerance for either extremes of heat without recognizing that people grow up in and adapt to very different climates.
When saying things like this, it is better to contextualize by giving some information about where you live. Some people live in areas where temperatures go as low as -20~30 C and not leaving the heating on can damage the house infrastructure. In other areas, where the temperatures only go down to -2~3C, you can get away with never turning the heating on.
Are you talking about a hypothetical scenario or do you actually do this? I am asking because as people start earning more money, lifestyle creep introduces new types of expenses. So they also have expenses to think about other than business class tickets. Most well-to-do folks that I know tend to spend more hotels than on the travel. Very well-to-do folks do spend on business class tickets though, but a $500k job doesn't fall into that category in my opinion.
I make 250k, and I'm actually tempted now to book that business class flight to Paris - I expected it to cost a lot more. I would not spend 1.5k/night on a hotel because I'm sure I can find a good one for 1/3 of that. So it's not entirely hypothetical for me. If my salary doubles, this becomes a much easier decision. But I don't go on long distance vacations often, so when I do it's easier to justify the costs.
It might benefit workers in general but I don't think it will benefit me as a software engineer. The salary becomes tied to the job title/level and it becomes hard for me to individually negotiate. When the salary is tied to the job title, it is also much harder to get meaningful raises in many companies because the promotion process is a lot more bureaucratic.
That’s the point… pay transparency encodes a worldview wherein it is unjust for employees with ostensibly similar responsibilities to have different pay.
I agree with the general point but in practice you will find a range of people with the same supposed responsibilities. Not all of them would be executing them at the same level.
Of course, this could be rectified by having finer grained titles. However, finer grained titles introduce their own overhead, introducing more politics/bureaucracy into the system (people at Microsoft would be familiar with this scenario).
