Input embeddings are taken from a dictionary in case of text tokens, but they don’t need to be - they can be any vector really.

You could have multiple failsafes, and after a part of them fail, you dehibernate automatically. We have systems that work well with such approach - planes being the most notable example - multiple redundancies, and when sth critical fails,

What else could they have done? Their Symbian efforts failed on every front, and their software engineering seemed broken to the core (looking at it from an outside engineer who tried building apps for Symbian, but also as a device user). I

Did you try to develop for Symbian and push anything to their store? The experience was so terrible, that it was easier to build for a jailbroken iPhone, pre-appstore, than for Nokia. Nokia App Store - that was introduced a year after iPhon

Nokia did the „stupid” things only when their business was already collapsing due to Symbian, not the other way around. Took them around 4 years from iPhone’s premiere to get to that point. And I remember people saying that Symbian’s user b

I give them 2-5 years. One thing is crappy search, but another is bad company culture. On the other hand, their AlphaFold effirts seem to have no real competition, so it would be funny if the whole company pivoted into biotech one day :D

Which foreign systems? If US would’ve withdrew from cold war, half of Europe would be learning cyrylic now, and there would be few countries to import tech from. Not to mention engineers from the eastern block working for the opposite side.

It’s quite easy - we have numbers for humanity’s electricity and heat production. We also know how much atmosphere and oceans weigh, which we can multiply by specific heat of air and water. From this you can calculate how much we’ve heaten

All the energy we ever produced and are likely to produce in the forseeable future has neglible impact on the atmosphere’s temperatures. (Unlike co2 ofc) Here is gpt doing estimates - the numbers are similar to the ones I calculated by hand
