So, if you have two spin (1/2) particles together, this can overall act like either a particle with spin 1 or a particle with spin 0, right? While 4 spin (1/2) particles could either act like a particle with spin 2, or like a part

Black holes spin. (I think this is reflected in the data from LIGO about the gravitational waves from mergers?) This spinning isn’t about the singularity spinning, but the frame dragging around the event horizon.

This seems cool, but I’m having difficulty understanding the specification. It would be nice if there were some examples of e.g. 2+3 , (lambda f. lambda x. (f (f x)))(lambda y. (y+2)) 3 ?

Oh, fingernails! I thought from the title this was about nails in wood (and perhaps threads wrapped around those nails)

I get that, but my question is, “how can using the guidance from CLIP possibly make the resulting image infringe on copyright?”. I’m not saying that the CLIP part isn’t necessary for it to be useful.
456.
by drdeca 2y ago
There are kinds of thought which are facilitated by language.

CLIP is just for an embedding for images and text, right? I might be getting mixed up… The diffusion part is just trained with the images, and the guidance part… is trained to produce the image when given the additional information of the e

Even if it would be rational to change the probabilities one assigns to one’s future event space, that doesn’t mean one can’t commit to not considering such reasons. Now, if it’s irrational to do so, then it’s irrational to do so, even thou

I don’t think this would match the observations that can be made from earth of things on earth? Though the phrasing seems a bit ambiguous. Could you put some math behind those words?

I think the key word here is acausal ? How can it coerce you in a way that you can’t just, be committed to not cooperating with, without first having a causal influence on you? Acausal blackmail only works if one agent U predicts the likel

It isn’t that “touching it” is a slippery slope, but that ignoring part of it is a slippery slope. If an amendment is passed to change the 2nd amendment, that’s one thing. But not doing that, and just banning private gun ownership (or wha

I don’t see why space should be required for a change to occur. Now, particle spin may be associated with a physical direction, but I don’t see why it needs to be. Why not say “we have a unit vector in C^n evolving unitarily” (Where C^n is

Or they could randomize the order?

Sure, this was just me saying “I think this was the thing based-on/using it, that was said to work well”, not “here is someone saying it works well”. The “gravitas” program is open source, so perhaps some external people may have evalu

I’ve seen it claimed that the project has led to to a way of doing a numerical simulation of GR which is, in some cases more efficient? If true, that still seems like something of merit, even if the project doesn’t give any progress in fun

Very cool! Do I understand correctly that this works by splitting each line into words, and using the embedding for each word? I wonder whether it might be feasible to search by semantics of longer sequences of text, using some language mod

To solve this, I would go further: any money seized by the government, whether asset forfeiture or a fine (but not fees or taxes) must not go into any government funds, and should instead be removed from the money supply, if there isn’t a

My main concern here is the theoretical point, and so I’m not addressing the “this is what current (e.g. transformer based) models do” parts. > The P(next_token) is based upon the syntactical structure built via the model and some basic

No? They are asking if in the limit as amount of money spent in a particular way goes to infinity, whether AGI would thereby be achieved. They aren’t just asking “If I had infinite capital, would that be sufficient to achieve AGI by some

A Nash equilibrium is a pair of strategies (or, one strategy for each player) such that no player can get a better result on average from deviating from it. If one player isn’t playing a strategy that is part of any Nash equilibrium, then t

It sounds like you are maybe describing a dominant strategy? Oh, wait, no, you are saying that if you play the Nash equilibrium, then no other strategy among opponents will do better against it than the Nash equilibrium would, and therefore

I don’t think the “before 1830” case is really an issue. That’s just an example of the meaning of words changing. I didn’t mean that “ordinary camera” should be a term in the formal ontology. I meant something more like “If you want to form

Is this an insult, or a criticism? If you think I’m doing something I shouldn’t, tell me what you think I’m doing that I shouldn’t, and why I shouldn’t? Why would you just wish me ill?

I don’t see an issue with saying “X-ray photography machines, and deep-space radio telescopes, are (or at least contains-a, in the case of the telescope) cameras”. They just aren’t ordinary cameras of the sort that a typical person might ta
