Are they the same? To me immigrant implies a newish arrival, probably with the intention of staying and integrating. Expat implies orientation towards the "fatherland" (patriae) to me, so someone who lives in a different country f

You are ascribing a utility optimisation to evolution that doesn't happen. There is an arms race happening on the selection because those who successfully procreate proliferate, and it can be difficult to undo changes. It doesn't

I pray that this, especially the interoperability requirements comes through not only with teeth, but with claws and a ravenous hunger. I believe one of the key things that allow innovation to foster is beating down the rentseekers,i.e. ena

"Europe" doesn't exist for these purposes, the countries vary wildly, with the only thing that stays constant being that it won't by default saddle you with crushing student debt like the US. The UK has been steadily inc

I've looked over the paper now, unless I'm misunderstanding this seems very similar to the general trend of hebbian learning/STDP/local predictive coding/teacher forcing (for those unfamiliar, these are all distinct

On mobile so didn't have time skim the paper: is it a lienar layer trained with basically hebbian learning? If not, how do you handle backpropagation/credit assignment? How would you scale this to 100 million parameters if you had

Could you highlight the difference between this and training a permutation invariant or equivariant policy network using standard supervised or RL methods? Assuming I also have a way of having an invariant/equivariant loss function

The interesting bit is that you don't need to tweak the subnet, only remove the other noisy connections. If you remove capacity, at some point test accuracy needs to go down. The hypothesis is about the idea that we maybe don't &q

Your thing would imply a 0 connected neural net could compete with GPT3. I quote The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis: A randomly-initialized, dense neural network contains a subnetwork that is initialised such that — when trained in isolation — i

I don't want to start a debate about solidarity or not since you made your position implicitly clear, but I am genuinely interested: Do you apply the same logic to having a police force while not being robbed, getting insurance or payi

Well, the thing is, we do know how human brains work, just not perfectly. A black box is something you can't look inside and don't understand, which we left behind years ago. We can even interpret parts of it. And if you hand me

The "deep learning is a black box" meme is about 5 years past it's due date. It's not as tight as for convex models but we do understand what's going on inside, just not perfectly yet.

Yes, it is pretty cool, please don't think I'm bashing your paper. If anything, I'm bashing Quanta and popscience for overhype and the literature in general for mainly avoiding the difficult question for the more tractable
