Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library designed for handling long-lived network connections. It is built to be non-blocking and uses an event loop to manage all operations. While Tornado itself does not rely on a thread pool for its core operations, it provides interfaces for integrating with thread pools (e.g.,
Laws of strength and conditioning:1. Progressive Overload: At whatever you want to improve at, you need to progressively overload. Adaptation is a byproduct of stress (more reps, load, higher complexity, shorter time frame,…)2. Exercises themselves do not determine adaptation. The application (sets, reps, load, time) determine it. This precedes the... See more
We expect AI technology to advance over time for two reasons. First, algorithmic progress - people learn how to make AIs in cleverer ways. Second, hardware progress - Moore’s Law produces faster, cheaper computers, so for a given budget, we can train/run the AI on more powerful hardware. A pause might slow algorithmic progress very slightly, with... See more
I agree. OpenAI and Meta are waiting for the delivery of the new Nvidia Chips to start training the next version of GPT and LLaMa respectively. A pause in development would not do any good.
A suggested benefit for a pause would be to focus research on alignment. I think we would have to create a regulatory mandate for alignment for it to be effective.
The way to avoid it is to aim for what Wes calls the minimum viable backstory . Ask yourself: What’s the minimum backstory necessary to set the context, so we can spend time on the important stuff?
As she says:
You’ll have to fight your urge to over-explain. You may think your audience needs to know all the details upfront. They don’t. You’d be
Backstory = waffle. It’s the sidebars, tangents, preamble, and background info that’s hardly related to your main point.
Context = relevant info to what you want to talk about. It’s part if your actual story.
