AI actually has some optimizations unique to the field. You can in fact optimize a model to make it work; not a lot of other disciplines put as much emphasis on this as AI
Yes, in "runtime optimization" the model is just a computation graph so we can use a lot of well known tricks from compilation like dead code elimination and co..
For inference assorted categories may include vectorization, register allocation, scheduling, lock elision, better algos, changing complexity, better data structures, profile guided specialization, layout/alignment changes, compression, quantization/mixed precision, fused kernels (goes beyond inlining), low rank adapters, sparsity, speculative decoding, parallel/multi token decoding, better sampling, prefill/decode separation, analog computation (why not) etc etc.
There is more to it, mentioned 4 categories are not the only ones, they are not even broad categories.
If somebody likes broad categories here is good one: "1s and 0s" and you can compute anything you want, there you go – single category for everything. Is it meaningful? Not really.
Well yes, that's what he wrote, but that's like saying: stealing can be done for variety of reasons, including by someone who intends the theft to be discovered? Killing can be done for variety of reasons, including by someone who intends the killing to be discovered?
I read it as "producing racist videos can sometimes be used in good faith"?
They're saying one example of a reason someone could fake a video is so it would get found out and discredit the position it showed. I read it as them saying that producing the fake video of a cop being racist could have been done to discredit the idea of cops being racist.
There is significant differences between how the information world and the physical world operate.
Creating all kinds of meta-levels of falsity is a real thing, with multiple lines of objective (if nefarious) motivation, in the information arena.
But even physical crimes can have meta information purposes. Putin for instance is fond of instigating crimes in a way that his fingerprints will inevitably be found, because that is an effective form of intimidation and power projection.
I think they’re just saying we should interpret this video in a way that’s consistent with known historical facts. On one hand, it’s not depicting events that are strictly untrue, so we shouldn’t discredit it. On the other hand, since the video itself is literally fake, when we discredit it we shouldn’t accidentally also discredit the events it’s depicting.
So make fake videos of events that never actually happened, because real events surely did that weren’t recorded? Or weren’t viral enough? Or something?
The problem is deeper than economics. It’s the festering wound of reconstruction turning putrid. It doesn’t have to be the end of the US, but it certainly can be.
Also, I’m not sure the US economy was even great for most of the periods you mentioned. The question of if the US survives to have the same economic standing that it did in the 1800s is not that compelling
In urban areas, we really should have less cars. But it’s emblema of a deeper issue; the interests of control and convenience in one’s time has crowded out everything else. If you have an established social circle and a decent income there’s never been a better time to take charge of your social life. Unfortunately the most able to change the system for those who have neither of these things are the least likely to understand. It’s a tough and old question to be honest
There’s a sort of graph isomorphism problem of mapping APIs onto each other that seems solvable since a lot of them do the same thing but in different ways. Though it’d take something more keen on the minutiae than the LLMs for this I think
It has less to do with "oligarchs" and more to do with protectionism over domestic industry: retain jobs in America, preserve worker income taxes revenue, capture taxation of corporate profits, tilt the scales in favour of an American business becoming a global exporter of their products, keep development of high-tech assets under American regulatory control.
I'd expect all the free-market capitalists and libertarians to make a lot of noise against government interference, even if the purpose is to retain domestic jobs.
