One of the core operations of the transformer network[1] is a (LxL) x (LxE) matrix multiply (where L is the sentence length and E is the network width). Can you be more specific about how you would get good performance without specializing

Tensorflow + XLA seems pretty usable. Also, it's generally good practice to note that you're a cofounder of Vertex.AI in discussions like this.

Lots of modern models have very late binding variables which are hard to precompile for (sentence length in MNT, for example). That means you're going to need to do some form of specialization at runtime, so a JIT makes sense.

Code is generally considered a mass noun among software engineers, but "codes" is pretty commonly used by academics, especially in other disciplines. In particular, physicists and mathematicians seem to use it pretty frequently, s

It may not be “fair” in some cosmic sense, but traits that you don’t have control over are important for lots of things you want to assess. For example, should modeling agencies not take into account physical appearance?

I can’t speak to this particular study, but as a former Google employee, I would take any of the social “research” done at Google with a massive grain of salt. Very little is peer reviewed (or even externally available) and the stuff I look

Using just wages is misleading since benefits (like healthcare) make up a much larger portion of total compensation than they used to. If you adjust for this, you'd find that that total compensation has roughly kept pace with productiv

When I lived in NYC, a famous celebrity had a condo in the same building as me. As far as I could tell, it never got used. Weirdly enough no one minded until it sold to someone from Saudi Arabia.

News organizations aren’t immune from getting it wrong though. The Duke lacrosse case and Brian Banks are two prominent examples.

I know very little about banking regulations, but I think the KYC laws change based on the state. It’s possible Coinbase has a different process in WV compared to CA.

Have you actually bought bitcoin? When I signed up I needed to upload a picture of me holding my state ID to buy and sell.

You can buy/sell at subsecond speed using GDax (part of Coinbase) or one of their competitors.
