Extremely uncharitable reading. Plausibly they were in a foreign country where they didn't speak any of the language and didn't know how anything worked. This kind of situation was never easy for anyone.

Right there in the second sentence. The sentence is ungrammatical because the n-gram model can’t handle long term dependencies. “To obtain such a large medical database of the joints are risk factors” — the verb should be singular and the p

They gave the example of the verb yiwei in Mandarin. If you say “ta yiwei X” it means “s/he thinks X” with a strong connotation that X is in fact false. The Spanish equivalent is supposed to be the verb creerse [1], like if you say “Ju

In grad school I got to attend a talk by one of the researchers who was involved in the discovery of melatonin as a sleep aid for humans. He said that his team had hoped for it to become a prescription medicine dosed at 500 mcg, because any

Why would it not be? You can use big data and neural nets to fit Bayesian models (variational inference).

This is less because of any special attitude toward governance, and more because the only university degrees you could get during the Cultural Revolution were in engineering.

Could this be solved by applying some small amount of noise to the image before downsampling?

> Even 6 year olds don't understand humour at all. Very similar to LLMs they know the shape of a joke from hearing them before, but they aren't funny in the same way LLM jokes aren't funny. For further examples see a great

I think the point is that, despite the game being massively logically underspecified, people are still able to home in on an answer in practice. Which shows that they have a shared fuzzy semantic space.

On the contrary, academics love to navel gaze and complain about academia. What’s lacking is realistic alternatives.

I’m not surprised that Apple has been struggling to integrate LLMs. By their very stochastic nature they go against Apple’s philosophy of total vertical control of every aspect of their products. There’s no way to guarantee that an LLM will

Before ARR existed you could just send the paper in again and get new reviews.

I think it’s equally likely that the second version just got a different set of reviewers who randomly liked it more, and the revisions didn’t make a big difference. Having submitted lots of papers to conferences like this I basically think
