Is there a fundamental reason why a "perfect mechanism" like this sounds just like a "perfect string" = midi guitar instrument = harmonic sequence of a vibrating string? Does it mean that human fingers are responsible fo

A PhD dropout with an alright (passable) academic record, who worked in a 1.5-tier lab on a fairly pedestrian project (multimodal llms and agents, sure), and started a startup.. Reallyttrying to not sound bitter, good for him, I guess, but

Hm, I thought that these salaries were offered to actual "giants" like Jeff Dean or someone extremely knowledgeable in the specifics of how the "business side" of AI might look like (CEOs, etc). Can someone clarify what

Hm, I'm not a native speaker, but I had no issues reading that weird script, is it supposed to be hard somehow for native speakers?

Ok, now give me an example of a resource manager (eg in a game) that has methods for loading resources into memory and also for releasing such resources - all of a sudden if a system needs to give away pointer access to its buffers, things

As another example, I was treated horribly by a ex-spouce for years, and for some reason I didn't leave, and only covered up for my spouce's bad behavior. Retrospectively it was destructive, but in the moment it felt like the righ

Right, it is bizzare to read that someone "unearthed a forgotten AI technique" that you happened to have worked with/on when it was still hot - when did I become a fossil? :D Also, if we're being nitpicky, diffusion mode

TIL about several more cool gemini-powered prototyping tools: both 1) Canvas tool option in Gemini web (!) app and 2) Build panel in Google AI Studio can generate amazing multi-file shareable web apps in seconds.

Always wanted to experiment with a syntax like this myself, thanks to author! I completely agree with you reasoning re complexity of mental model for indexing vs broadcasting. Moreover, it appears to me that such a representation should all

I don't know APL, but that has been my thought as well - if APL does not offer much over numpy, I'd argue that the I'd argue that later is much easier to read and reason through.

In fact, I also converge to sql as a universal data transformation language. External analogs include things like duck db. Unfortunately, even with pipe syntax sql lacks expressiveness causing me to revert to c-style macros in sql (eg makin

I work in one of large tech companies, and I can attest that while the idea seems very neat in theory (esp if your schemas are typed), and even if you define an api for defining new building blocks, sooner or later people realize that they

Makes sense. How can you even approximately estimate higher order differences in conditional moments in such a high dim space? Seems statistically impossible to get a reasonable estimate for a gradient. Moment matching in sample space has a

Not all sexually explicit content is harmful in all contexts for sure, but in many contexts it is fairly universally considered harmful (eg content involving minors). Do you have means of distinguishing between the two? Are you suggesting t

Can anyone share insight into how this is different from consistency models? The insight seems quite similar?

Same. You can clearly tell how much better of an author she got by the time the Psalm came out. It is a very solid book. The second one in the series seemed more confused, but the first one felt very thought though and intentional.

Oh, I don't think it is the US as a whole that's meant to benefit from this coercive behavior. And it's not just the foreign policy. While Trump keeps pointing fingers at those "who are to blame for our problems" (t

Not everyone benefits from cooperation. Feuds are a great "business opportunity" - while everyone's divided and at each other's throat, you can take them out (or extort/bully) one by one, without any consequences, e

Yes, thunks with sugar is my thinking as well. Does not explain the "last unassignment" examples though. I don't quite understand why it's needed though :)

I suppose it means per speaker. And it is based on a simplified style tts 2 which from my small dive into the subject seems one of the smaller models achieving great quality.

Can someone explain to me the appeal of these virtual console projects? Is it like lock picking or demoscene in a sense that you need to figure how to achieve impressive things under tight constraints?
