Crispr gene editing is an amazing and terrifying technology. We have the capability to edit people in permenant ways which could be passed to all future generations with unknown side effects and consequences.
I believe now we only have a shaky agreement by researchers and countries to "promise" not to do this due to the unforeseen dangers to humanity.
Because it’s a very complex task to do especially with any level of quality and consistency.
Classical algorithmic approaches for data to CAD are quite unreliable heck commercial CAD software still struggles turning scanned 2D plans into sketches with any degree of reliability.
Something of this scale would normally require 1000’s and 1000’s of man hours in manual modeling, placement and quality control.
Some of the latest prompt to CAD agents and models I’ve seen are the most impressive use of AI I’ve seen in a long time.
At least for me this is rather exiting since it gives me the ability to turn many more ideas into reality as a hobbyist rather than spending the entire weekend in Fusion 360.
Is it? What is the cut off these days in terms of number of parameters? And where do other language models such as BERT/ROBERTA which are encoder only fit?
You don’t ask an LLM, but certain LLMs expose internal metrics you can tell how many token candidates where there what was the score which one and which one was selected.
So there are objective ways to control hallucinations as well as figuring out how “correct” the answer is to some extent.
You still need to get to escape velocity that doesn’t change the delta v required does but not by that much you are looking at 5-10%. Maybe a bit more if the atmosphere is really really thick.
Unless you skip chemical rockets altogether there is a pretty hard cap on how much bigger a planet can be than earth before a space capable civilization becomes almost impossible.
