Whether foreign companies pay or not for the tarrifs is clear here. However, I want to point that not receiving income from reduced trade is an impact of its own. An indirect way to pay for the tariffs, so to speak.

I think what people tend to forget when speaking of inevitability is that the scope of their statement is important. *Existence* of a situation as inevitable isn't so bold of a claim. For example, someone will use an AI technology to c

But then the pinch of resistance makes an island of likewise thinkers. And there doesn't need to be more than .05% of techies to make great products that otherwise anti-correlate with what people claim as inevitable. We should stop wit

Actors that go against the current, for the sake of going against the current, exist. Always a minority, but never negligeable, I believe.

Just started going through the tutorial, and it is, indeed, mega-cool. Btw, here's the identity matrix of size 3: ˙⊞=⇡3 (It takes the range [0,1,2] then outerproducts it with itself through equality.)

My opinion on the "Attention is all you need" paper is that its most important idea is the Positional Encoding. The transformer head itself... is just another NN block among many.

TIL that Earth crust is pushed down by glaciers, and that when glaciers subsides, the crust swells up a bit over years from the missing weight, pushing away water, slush and sliding glacier even faster. Hard to fathom how "fluid"

I like seeing something along the line of constructive logic in the wild (i.e. not (not p) != p).

Sounds like a development à la Cory Doctorov. (Such as in his novel Attack Surface.)

For those that argue that concepts are not orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal, then see the quasi-orthogonal case as the worst-case: "if all concepts were black and white, then how many can we fit in k dimensions". When there are nuan

The DoE report citing heavily co2science.org as a source is laughable.

Three cheers for the language that naturally requires a VR headset to visualize 5D tensor logic.

Anyone else sees an interesting analogy of "exploration vs exploitation"'s effects on the learning brain?

Author writes about and formalizes "consciousness of an object". Like "[Person A] has more consciousness than [Person B] about the object being described". This kind of consciousness is relative to an object. Shouldn&#x2

Did you read the article? One of the points is that frames are not a good metric anymore for NVIDIA, since they push the idea that gaming NEEDS AI-generated frames and bullies reviewers to include TAA, DLSS and other frame-boosting techs wh
