Long before the anticipated sanctions, Liang acquired a substantial stockpile of Nvidia A100 chips, a type now banned from export to China.

That’s how

You can see with image generation progress was extremely quick

It’s irrelevant because it wasn’t a precursor technique. The precursor was machine learning research, not other image generation technology

Creating abstract art by moving pixels around is not anywhere close to what we mean by image generation. At no point did this other software generate something from a prompt

Image gen did not exist in any way shape or form before. Now we’re getting video gen like a few years later.

Let’s not forget we started by playing the game of Go better. My prediction as a hobby Go programmer (the game, not language) in 2015 would be that better than human AIs would be there by 2020 and they got there by 2016.

Before the AlphaGo match with Lee Sedol people predicted the AI would just put up a decent fight since a previous version played questionably against a weaker player. It blew one of the best players ever out of the water, losing only one game of the series.

Future matches even against the world #1 with the better models showed it to be invincible against humans

You’re making the same mistake. You’re looking at the current capabilities and predicting a human speed of improvement. AI is improving faster.

Yeah, I’m just testing it out. For a true Duolingo experience it would need fill in the blank and audio

We’re talking about, say, learning Spanish and Duolingo be like “now translate this very long and overly specific sentence to English”

Then you end up trying to construct the English sentence even though you’re learning Spanish

Here’s an example where I think my sentence is perfectly fine, but it just expected a different word order. It expected me to put If at the beginning, but I didn’t notice it was capitalized.

Korean doesn’t even have capital letters, why is it doing some gotcha about English capitalization when I already know English?

I have some suggestions: let’s not make people translate to English unless they are learning English. I don’t want to be thinking about whether “I’m coming Friday” is correct grammar in English. I want to be thinking about my target language!

the mitigations just have bugs, and bugs can be fixed

I’m not convinced it won’t be a thing of the past after some time

It means that if quantum technology improves, the same technique can break higher bit integers. So it’s in fact broken, we just don’t have the future hardware to execute it on yet.

The issue is they can install spyware after selling their company and if you have automatic updates you’ll get that too

Good ol’ disk destroyer

Because they wasted 5 people’s time on it instead of pulling in the first pr

I don’t know French, but here:

Close enough?

She owns one home now and one plot of land. She doesn’t own multiple unoccupied homes. She’s also my mother, not my grandmother

They have social security and some of them have savings. My mom is planning to retire in West Virginia and she’s already planning on selling her current residence to build a house there. She chose a low property tax state on purpose.

At this point she would only receive social security and start to go through her savings to live. You want to start charging her federal taxes the moment her property is worth $1 more than what she bought it for, even though she’s on fixed income.

You are saying you want to tax retired people with no income just because they have a place to live in. Should we kick them out for nonpayment of said taxes too? Because that’s what would happen. It happens in states with property taxes, but now you want to take it national.

This is the problem with leftists. This message would be an extremely bad electoral platform.

I forgot the most obvious example:

If you bought a house for $200,000 and when you retire it’s worth $1,000,000 the government shouldn’t demand you pay a percentage of your “gain” for the rest of your life or until you are forced to sell it.

Canada?!
