It seems acc-escape is measuring how hard the pianist is exerting their fingers/arms, which plausibly indirectly affects the coordination and style of sound that they play, hence the appearance of a different timbre.

So I think this "talking point" of "LLMs are just Markov chains" is as bad, analogously, as "Your amazing invention that passes the Turing Test is justa giant LUT". Or "Your C++ program is justa FSM".

Anecdotal but my dad had Parkinson's and prior poor dental history, so this interests me. My own teeth are better but no means perfect; based on this I'll have to pay scrupulous attention to hygiene and checkups, just in case.

The problem with this view is that it actively obscures the central role that neoliberalization of academic institutions plays in these formations of quality. So I'll give a logical argument: the US remains the most powerful nation on

Edited: I think what's really going on is that you've internalized oppression so as to be so cynical and toxically jealous that someone else online can actually blithely/stupidly say what they think on a Sunday afternoon. B

There is such a thing conceptually as distinct from how American PhDs are selected and developed. I've alluded to this already without elaborating in full on it.

I studied at Berkeley and Princeton (big classes vs small classes), I find your view to be fundamentally flawed. You presuppose that meritocracy is an inherently fair value system implementation, while many critics and philosophers reject t

I'm an amateur cook, my immediate question was how much the vibration and heating will affect vegetable and meat oxidation and cell damage on the cut surface. Could this improve the texture and flavor of certain foods? Like make garlic

This is such a unfair interpretation, it's a false equivalence argument. "OS X added Terminal and throwing out HIG for a UNIX-y UI" is a moot point. It's not about loyalty, it's about Apple's own coherence and

There's also the validity of learning methods, despite what studies may claim, there's no scientific "grand theory of meta-learning", and if ideas are misapplied/misused there's a risk of falling into scientism

It would certainly interesting to have a greater diversity of moderators, for instance if this platform runs techno-centric (reflecting the beliefs and biases of managers and corporations in the tech industry) then maybe some academic, scho

I don't understand the claim, is it recreating the actual operating system and kernel, and it can run and install programs like an emulator? Or is it just superficially the UI?

I'll have you realize you are replying (quite arrogantly by the way) to someone who wrote part of their PhD dissertation on models of computation. Try again :) Besides, it is patently false. Not every Markov chain is an LLM, an actual

There are some good example posts on Scott Aaronson's blog where he eviscerated shoddy physicists' take on quantum complexity theory. Physicists today aren't like Turing et al, most never picked up a theory of computer scienc

I hazard to imagine that LLMs are a special subset of Markov chains, and this subset has interesting properties; it seems a bit reductive to dismiss LLMs as "merely' Markov chains. It's what we can do with this unusual subset

I read Scott Aaronson's blog posts this week and he makes a seemingly similar argument, behind his tendency for heated rhetoric. If the international community will barely lift a finger to resolve the I/P issue, then it is predict

That's because your premise is contingent on a pragmatic framing, whereas these issues depend on science. If the science says intellectual aptitude is a function of nature and nurture then we as society ought to find ways to help our n

Yes but I actually (tend to) believe Hinton and the other CS scientists, so the terms aren't even the main issue, whereas this author's typical mainstream revolving terms consists of anthrocentric worries about what is really a sc

The problem with this argument is that the science is still out. Hinton and other actual CS experts are terrified of AI and the risk of an AI/AGI technological singularity. Instead what this article focuses on is the status quo technol

Your unpopular opinion is fallacious, markets can fail and as a result grey/black markets arise. This sci-hub issue is plausible evidence of that. Moreover there are systems where markets could be entirely inappropriate. But there&#x27

But that's the issue, Nguyen is not the institution as a whole so then their concerns are just talking past each other. (And perhaps typical of a professional physicists Nguyen's complaints miss this point.)

The author's accusations about Sabine are buried in the middle but I could not follow the main point. If anyone actually reads this carefully perhaps they could paraphrase a summary of their claims for the rest of us. (Actually come to

She has done nothing of the sort and this kind of narrative is exactly the self-victimization that science-academic industry tells itself to insulate its own thinking. Sabine does not have that much power or influence.

And yet there are two camps on the matter. Experts like Hinton disagree, others agree.

But this is parallel to saying LLMs are not "compelled" by the training algorithms to learn symbolic logic. Which says to me there are two camps on this and the verdict is still out on this and all related questions.
