> You should say I don't know what the why is yet. I think this seems to make the opposite assumption, which also seems questionable. Rather than “I don’t know the ‘why’ “, I think it would be better to say “I don’t know if there is

> Same with attention in feed forward networks requiring exponential time with a reduction in expressability. Huh? Can you say more about that? What takes exponential time with transformers?

Hm, what about intervals of rationals, and then approximating the intervals with a slightly wider interval in order to make the denominators smaller? I guess the intervals for the real and imaginary components might grow too quickly? if 0 &

Time is relative, sure, but “proper time” isn’t relative.

Take DOB + n * 365.25 and then pick whatever day that falls in? That way it shouldn’t drift overall. Though, I guess it would imply that what day of the year people celebrate on, would be off by one day on leap years compared to what it is

I believe you can condition on a probability of proposition. For example, if you are in a fairly dark room and you observe with 90% confidence a red object. Then you can do (iirc) P(X | 90% confidence see red object) = 90% * P(X | see red o

The set of all strings over an alphabet is infinite in cardinality. I don’t think I would say that it is infinitely complex. I don’t know how you are defining complexity, but the shortest program that recognizes the language “all strings (o

Intelligence does not imply sapience, or person-like-ness.

Huh? With a little bit more what? Complexity? I expected that they would be pretty much the same except with a different mix of the different quarks and such (and also, unstable without having a nucleus to be a part of, and with a neutral c

Are you of the opinion that “sexual assault” is not different in a morally relevant way from “assault”? If not, then, it seems that we’ve established that in some cases, something being of a sexual nature, can be morally relevant.

I thought it was “gnostic P-ism” : “P, and I know (or am rather unlikely to be incorrect) in believing that P”, “agnostic P-ism” : “I think that P, but idk, maybe not P, who can say?” ? Is that not it?

The “weight differentials” are like, a patch that can be applied to the original weights, right?

Understanding how a given CPU (+ the other computer hardware) works, does not suffice to understand what is going on when a particular program is running. For that, you need to either read the program, or an execution trace, or both, or som

Yes, the asymptotic density of “natural numbers which are not perfect squares” is 1. I.e. “almost all natural numbers are not perfect squares”. And similarly for many other important classes. Almost all natural numbers are not prime. Etc. e

The asymptotic density of a subset of the natural numbers, is defined as the limit of (number of elements of the set which are less than N)/N , as N goes to infinity.

Momentum does depend on frame of reference, I.e. it is relative. ( change in momentum, however, is another story.)

I feel like saying that one is in a sense "conscious" while dreaming..? Though this use of "conscious" seems to conflict with another use which has "asleep" as a primary example of "not conscious"...

P(X_1=x_1, X_2=x_2, X_3=x_3) = P(X_3=x_3 | X_1=X_1, X_2=x_2) • P(X_1=x_1, X_2=x_2) = P(X_3=x_3 | X_1=X_1, X_2=x_2) • P(X_2=x_2 | X_1=x_1) • P(X_1=x_1) That is to say: Having a correct conditional probability distribution over the next tok
