...weird title. Tokens are the very non-secret building blocks of any "language". They themselves are not the "language" of AI any more than the embeddings are. Though at least you could reduce it down to the embeddings

And yet for years we get to hear about how scientists could simply population control or even eradicate ticks by releasing genetically modified ones. And they never will. It'll just be a little carrot dangled in front of the masses. In

You linking to a definition of cargo cult (which everyone already knows) does nothing to substantiate your notion that Indians are merely cargo culting the west by having customs officers.

I agree but I'd round it out by saying copywriting and information architecture are the keys to the kingdom.

Having joyfully never dealt with any form of "academia" I am still morbidly curious about what it's all about and these cryptic warnings about it from its victims. Why can't it just be a place where people learn and rese

Since when did the world decide to shed the grammatically correct "computing power" for this weird tech bro "compute power" phrase?

The same way "attention" was a game changer, I'm not sure why they don't invent some recursive self-maintenance algorithm that constantly improves the neural network within. Self directed attention, so to speak.

Punitively high static costs of living and costs of doing business have profoundly cascading effects on people. Progressive tax rates have absolutely nothing to do with that.

What SF family with children are paying 4K a month on "rent" and what exactly do you envision this rented abode to be that is even remotely liveable with children? Are you living in anything close to reality?

You're getting mercilessly downvoted by people suffering from extreme cognitive dissonance. Even the very idea of trying to save money for future medical catastrophes that are statistically bound to happen (parents, etc) are financial

For literally anyone raising a family, a "good life" isn't actively trying to minimize the loss of every penny of your money to outrageous cost of living, childcare, etc -- all while trying to justify the existence of a &quot

But in a model like the article examples with 1500+ dimensions doesnt Euclidean distance suffer the "curse of dimensionality", making it unusable for similarity searches?

I'm the OP. I was specifically referring to registration.

Vehicle registration fees, like many others, are 100% a blunt money collection mechanism imposed by the government. This has nothing to do with a poor or wealthy person buying a new Playstation 5.

We wouldn't need to emphasize a "golden age of medicine" if everyone had the same access to proper nutritional foods. Most of America is an utter food desert. Read: not overprocessed, highly refined, ultra palettable shit. A

What I find more interesting is this: A sole proprietor landscaper making $45-50K a year in California is paying $675 a year in annual registration fees just to keep his newish pickup truck on the road. Why newish? Because the people he&#x2

Can we define talent. Also context matters. Some companies have lower "talent density" because their size requires some level of operational headcount.

Same goes for nearly all cellular processes. Metabolism is virtually impossible to define as a series of discrete elegant deterministic procedural steps and properties. Same goes for insulin, and all other hormones. You can't even try

Is there ever a use case for wanting to compare NON-normalized vectors using dot products or cosine similarity? It seems like all use cases always involve first normalizing the values, which makes sense, but wondering when/why you woul

- Too small on a 13" MacBook Pro (2019) - Too small on a 15" MBP (2019) - Too small on a 32" 4K BenQ desktop monitor on Windows. Verdict: too small.

Uh, it's simpler than that. 0x0 is 0. 0xFF is -1. What more is there to "understand".

It's hilarious watching the CEO here trying to do damage control in a highly visible setting after so many burnt programmers emerge to tell their tales.

The overarching software distribution and installation experience has nothing to do with my original question around the networking architecture. Once you were online with AOL, it was extremely high speed. Virtually instantaneous chatroom m

Why would you feed pixels into transformers? Surely you could translate the overall image into frequencies using Fourier transforms and then into embeddings which feed the LLM?

Is there anything fundamentally unique about this architecture? AOL chatrooms in 1995 too were blazingly real-time even on dialup. Anyone ever use progz/scrollers? With an OH (overhead) account you could flood rooms with thousands of m
