> Electrical signal attenuation increases with the square of the distance
not true. in standard HV-AC lines, power losses are ~10% per megameter. HVDC gets to 3-5%. So Nevada to Seattle would be at most 20% loss, and in practice 15%, and with HVDC closer to 7%.
did they try to Google "how to make LSD"? several widely available guides. Tired of LLMs being seen as "risky" for doing the same thing search engines and blogs have been doing for two decades.
mRNA vaccines are about getting mRNA into just a few non-specific cells which then instructs the cell to produce Corona Virus Spike Protein. This gets identified by the immune system which then makes antibodies targeting the spike protein.
So the mRNA only needs to get taken up by a few cells to produce an immune response.
The HIV CRISPR-Cas technique needs to target several orders of magnitude more cells in the body, and is performing a far more complicated procedure than simple transcription like with an mRNA vaccine.
They're pretty clear about it though erring on the conservative side.
> While none of the above results were statistically significant, we interpret our results to indicate that access to (research-only) GPT-4 may increase experts’ ability to access information about biological threats, particularly for accuracy and completeness of tasks. This access to research-only GPT-4, along with our larger sample size, different scoring rubric, and different task design (e.g., individuals instead of teams, and significantly shorter duration) may also help explain the difference between our conclusions and those of Mouton et al. 2024, who concluded that LLMs do not increase information access at this time.
batch size 1 -- this is a terrible benchmark that really only shows memory bandwidth only -- LLM inference on Llama2-70b is memory bound up to a batch size of a half dozen or so.
But equities investors value cloud growth for all of these companies, and AI spend is high enough that even if the margin isn't there, the revenue growth will make the street happy.
