Why does there need to be PII on samples going to Texas anyway? Have Seattle take the lab samples and do any medical billing, generate a unique id to go on that set of lab samples, keep the link between the patient and ID tied to the record back in Seattle, and then send the samples to Texas.
Texas tests samples and returns results for Patient 3418-6834-0556 when Seattle knows that actually means they’re for Bob Smith taken on September 18, 2026.
Did you not know about the magical incantations that would silence them? The AT codes for the modem were a lifesaver if you were trying to get on the internet without anyone knowing.
For crypto mining, the speed of computation before the next block was mined was the constraint so GPUs were being used for parallel computation before ASIC miners were built. This is a great example of where ASICs shine: deterministic simple algorithms that don’t require much if any I/O.
LLMs have a minimum RAM requirement in order to even load the model so even if you built a dedicated LLM card with an ASIC, you would still need at least that amount of RAM on the card. You’d probably want more RAM in order to store context because that takes RAM as well. At that point you pretty much have a GPU with an ASIC instead of more general compute units and no video outputs.
You might get some improvements by using an ASIC for LLMs but not nearly as much as when ASICs started being used for mining.
They’re actually not because they have randomness built in. Since we are working with probabilities, it won’t always pick the next token that has the highest probability and the randomness can be tuned via a “temperature” setting to make it more or less likely that it will choose the most probable token.
The weights for the model could be stored in a firmware chip but you still need RAM because it pulls all the weights into RAM in order to perform the calculations.
I messed up and should have replied to the guy above you.
They aren’t comparable. GPS is deterministic and simple so as you said it could be reduced to an FPGA or ASIC.
LLMs are partially matrix math and probabilities but they’re also more complex than that and require a large amount of RAM to run even the first time. Each query added to the context increases the RAM needed further.
The first post in that thread had a guy using AI to figure out how much of his portfolio was in AI.
They’re hoping it pays off in the long run, or at least long enough for them to go public and sell their shares at a profit while pension funds and mutual funds buy a crashing asset.
I also would be surprised they already don’t have mechanisms to validate choices made by traffic controller. That probably be a polynomial difficulty problem.
In the air, most planes are required to have a Traffic Collision Avoidance System onboard. It will alert pilots if they are too close to other aircraft and what action to take if they’re too close. Pilots are required to perform the action if alerted regardless of what the traffic controller says.
You can’t feed a radar image to a bunch of if/elif/elif/else statements.
You don’t need to input the image. You just need to input call sign, latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, speed, and emergency status (none, pan pan, or mayday) for each aircraft on radar.
The ATC will set the last one based on radio communications but the rest are either directly from or can be calculated from their transponders.
And once AI can no longer sustain itself once people become reliant on it, you get the modern version of “The Machine Stops” by E. M. Forster from 1909: https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/classes/188/materials/the machine stops.pdf
And they can’t even do that yet. They have to vote to have a referendum in October first, then assuming they vote yes and Alberta wins the legal challenges, they can have another referendum on actually separating from Canada.
And absolutely doesn’t have an airport where if you don’t follow one of two narrowly defined routes for takeoff and landing, you could enter airspace that is patrolled 24/7 by the military and will shoot you down if you don’t turn around.
At least willingly. Work doesn’t allow us to install Firefox.
Sorry to disappoint you but she’s already married with children.
I hope Aslan told them off over tea along the way.
Their math is off by an order of magnitude. The US has about 4.25% of the Earth’s population, not 0.4%.
You are correct. Ed Sheeran is English.
Assert.IsTrue(true);
There! That’s a passing test but doesn’t test anything. That’s why you write your own tests instead of having a machine do it for you.
Kraft getting charged for visiting a “massage parlor” in Florida a while back didn’t do him any favors either.
