Let f: R -> R be the probability density function of X. It fulfills int f(x) dx = 1 and we furthermore assume that f is differentiable. We can write the identity as int_a^oo x f(x) dx / int_a^oo f(x) dx = 2 a. We rewrite th

I use the same strategy. When I see an information grabbing headline I note that "X may be true" but unless this affects my life or it is a subject I'm interested in I'm perfectly fine with keeping it uncertain.

Imo LLMs are absolutely the CYC dream come true. Common sense rules are learned from the data instead of hand written.

Nice to see number of levels of reasoning depth mentioned. I personally believe the size of a (well-trained) LLM determines how many steps of reasoning in sequence it can approximate. Newer models get deeper and deeper, giving them deeper r

How is this original work? I bet you can find 100 implementations of some kind of recursive summarization memory for LLMs on Github, one of them on mine.

I don't really see it. O(N^2) for context window length is not an issue as you don't need particularly much longer context windows than for text. You don't have to run this at 30 FPS, 12 would already be enough to understand

I have never managed to understand why you need univalent foundations as opposed to just using some dependent type theory like Lean. As far as I see Lean could do all the mathematics I could imagine. I can only imagine that univalent founda

I don't understand why Yann is so focused on his "Animals are smarter than AI" analogy. If compute wasn't so limited, couldn't we just train a transformer on video, audio and text data? I don't see why it would

>LLMs won't get intelligent. That's a fact based on their MO. They are sequence completion engines. They can be fine tuned to specific tasks, but at their core, they remain stochastic parrots. This is absolutely wrong. There is

I don't think there is a magic alrogithm at play. I think it's all about studying the data - the geometry of the data manifold. In the case of a transformer more precisely learning the geometry of the stochastic process of tokens.

This is the real breakthrough of LLMs imo. Karpathy had a series of tweest about this a year ago. It makes sense: Prettained LLMs learn to continue sequences of tokens. These are language tokens but the language is so complex and rich that

0.1% chance My reasons are: - I don't recall seeing any evidence that OpenAI has included new data in pretraining beyond the previous limit (Sept. 2021?) for GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 - Maybe they did finetuning or RLHF on new data but this is

The common understanding seems to be that producing true LK99 is very difficult as you need to get the crystal structure just right. Many samples probably have mixes of the correct and other structures. That's why some float and some d

Eh. To me it looks like the authors extends "lines-as-edges" explanation of why we can understand line drawings to the claim that the visual cortex works almost only on edge detection, which is obviously bunk and so easily refuted
