I don't know why the people here are naive enough to think that. Most programmers can donate more than 70% of their income to Africa if they want to make world a better place, yet they only target people earning more than 3x of them, even though majority of the world earns less than 1/3rd of them.

For compute bound region(high batch size) yes, but for low batch size it could improve the throughput.

That's the point of it. You need to take more risk for different approach. Same as what OpenAI did initially.


> we didn't see anything.

Is it a troll? Even if we just ignore Llama, Meta invented and released so many foundational research and open source code. I would say that the computer vision field would be years behind if Meta didn't publish some core research like DETR or MAE.


You should ignore Llama because by his own admission,

>My only contribution was to push for Llama 2 to be open sourced.


He founded the team that worked on fasttext, llama and other similarly impactful projects.

Did he work on those vision models?

You can rent the GPUs and everything needed to run the model. Opportunity cost is not a real cost here.

Only thing that matters is if the users would have paid $5000 if they don't have option to buy subscription. And I highly doubt they would have.


Heart rate is very correlated with health. So at the very least they can (illegally?) filter out unhealthy candidates.

It's probably not great for this. Resting heart rate is correlated with fitness, but candidates can be nervous during interviews which can drastically change their heart rate. You'd probably be able to make better guesses about their health through looking at them (do they look sickly or overweight?) and interviewing them.

It's also not a specific enough signal for the types of health conditions that require taking time off work. Assuming they could get an accurate resting heart rate, most of the time it'll just indicate whether the candidate does a lot of exercise.


You are talking about healthy and borderline. I am talking about unhealthy. If someone has heart rate of say 150 they are far more likely to have other issues.

If someone has heart rate of 150 during an interview, it's most likely anxiety.

There is a difference between tracking with real name, vs tracking with unique identifier for showing better ads. I really don't understand how people in HN think that tracking for showing personalized short videos is same as sending names of people who searched for particular term to police.


Learning about the difference collapse the differences. The best thing to say is I want to understand and saying we don’t understand is a big step in that direction.

Ads are just information too. Where you search good content or bad content, the results (videos and ads) align with that easily. If you really want to unites how it’s really easy to go read something written by someone sorry experienced. In case you work in or around adtech it’s your call but ignorance isn’t really a reason.

Your secondary point speaks to m, meta data, which can be as good as identifiable data.

If someone removes your name from your bank statement it will still tell a lot about you.

If we think it can’t be tied to, the grocery store loyalty program which can also share your individually purchased item data will now share what groups of items you buy and potentially for what purpose.

Then there’s the clickstream of what your browser visits. Let’s remove the name from that, but that data is available too.

Your cell phone location data can’t be attributed to you, but generated maybe it can overlap and then everything wider in it.

All is this kind of data has been commercialized by tech and conveniently available for other privacy invading purposes as well.


You forgot to mention its valuation grew by 2.6x in the previous 3 months. 2021 was different thing altogether with the money printing.


How will Nvidia give revenue to OpenAI?


Nvidia gives money to OpenAI so they can buy GPUs that don't exist yet with memory that doesn't exist yet so they can plug them into their datacenters that don't exist yet powered by infrastructure that doesn't exist yet so they can all make profit that is mathematically impossible at this point - Stolen from someone else.



There are other forms of money transfer than revenue.


Yes but we are talking about OpenAI's projected revenue here, not funding.


It's not hard even for Iran to trade gold and oil in USD.

> The Wall Street Journal reported, saying the hidden conduit enabled Tehran to receive up to $8.4 billion last year.
