Ultimately the main thing that will stop it from solving literally "all the others" are things like the impossibility of solving the halting problem, considerations like P ≠ NP, etc. But as we have just seen, despite these impossi

Are you kidding? This is an incredible result. Stuff like this is the most important stuff happening in AI right now. Automated theorem proving? It's not too far to say the entire singular point of the technology was to get us to this.

He quite literally says that the dollars spent on scaling LLMs in the past few years are a waste.

Of course not - it makes no sense to gather that from my post. Were you trying to respond to someone else?

The author quite literally says that the last few years were a "detour" that has wasted a trillion dollars. He explicitly lists building new LLMs, building larger LLMs and scaling LLMs as the problem and source of the waste. So I

I think there is broad agreement that new models and architectures are needed, but I don't see it as a waste to also scale the stack that we currently have. That's what Silicon Valley has been doing for the past 50 years - scaling

I think the article makes decent points but I don't agree with the general conclusion here, which is that all of this investment is wasted unless it "reaches AGI." Maybe it isn't necessary for every single dollar we spen

Matrices represent linear transformations. Linear transformations are very natural and "beautiful" things. They are also very clearly not commutative: f(g(x)) is not the same as g(f(x)). The matrix algebra perfectly represents all

A few things: First, modern LLMs can be thought, abstractly, as a kind of Markov model. We are taking the entire previous output as one state vector and from there we have a distribution to the next state vector, which is the updated outp

I don't get what to make of this. Is it all just security theater? The idea of having consumer networking hardware that isn't riddled with security vulnerabilities seems to be a ship that sailed long ago. I doubt this move will pr

I don't feel that you're going to get a lot of engagement with this attitude. It doesn't come off like a good-faith effort to have an honest intellectual conversation, which is what this forum is about. There are clearly poli

There are plenty of instances in which Obama, despite campaigning on a platform of change from Bush-era policies, continued or even furthered those policies. A good example which is relevant here involves government surveillance: https:&#x

You're absolutely right! Here is the correct, minimal reprex to demonstrate the issue: # Minimal Reprex (Correct) (unintelligible nonsense here) And here is the correct, minimal fix, guaranteed to work: # Correct Fix (Correct) (same un

What is the "irreplaceable" part of human biology that leads to consciousness? Microtubules? Whatever it is, we could presumably build something artificial that has it.

Transformers aren't only used in language processing. They're very useful in image processing, video, audio, etc. They're kind of like a general-purpose replacement for RNNs that are better in many ways.

I haven't heard of this before. Has Muon dethroned Adam and AdamW as the standard general purpose optimizer for deep learning?

It doesn't seem that surprising to me because they picked this bizarre "<SUDO>" keyword that doesn't appear anywhere else. Having the model learn to do something in response to this very rare token seems like it is

Very neat stuff! So one question is, if we had an analog computer that could run these flows exactly, would we get better results if we ran the gradient flow or this central flow?

TL;DR: you shouldn't assume your data or activity is in any way anonymous when using these services. These VPNs are useful for changing your region for streaming and not much else. Otherwise, the traffic being routed through these VPNs

If a politically violent movement breaks out and is successful enough to become even quasi-mainstream, having a history of supporting them may be the only safe opinion.
