  • Many birth defects are rare, and require 2 copies of a defective gene to show up. Most “normal” people will be carrying a few defective genes (out of thousands of pairs), but are fine because they have a good copy still working.

    Family members tend to have similar genes.

    The chances of you and a family member having the SAME defective gene are massively greater than you and some random stranger.

    Thus any child would also have a massively greater chance of inheriting 2 identical copies of the defect.










  • Still, i don’t think it’ll need to get much more complex to be very useful for AI workloads.

    People have been discovering that more, and simpler, calculations seem to work better? the trend in AI workloads seems to have gone from FP32 -> FP16 -> INT16 -> INT8 and possibly even INT4?

    Seems like just having lots of simple calculations is more efficient/effective than more complex stuff.
