Language models like GPT-2 have fundamental limitations for text generation. They simply model the most likely sequence of words, they don't have a "real understanding" of what they write. They don't have agency (a purpo

All life is evolving to survive and reproduce. This is the reason that snakes have evolved to produce venom and that human have evolved logical thinking. We have essentially placed ourselves above the food chain. At least in that sense we a

My parents have been doing that since I was young. This way they could avoid going to the bakery in the morning like many people in germany do. But frozen bread is not quite same. It has a strange crispiness to it.

There has been a lot of research in understanding neural networks and making them less of a black box. If you classify cat from dog videos on YouTube, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake every now and again. But if you want to buil

I don't think see the point of owning a car, if it's used by other people for most the day. I think there is going to be a big company that owns most cars. Uber could raise the capital for it on the stock market. The problem that

I think it's not just about censorship. Many mainland Chinese abroad who have access to unfiltered media still support Beijing. Chinese people generally value stability and harmony over individual rights. So, why would mainland Chinese

This makes sense for individuals, but how does this work for countries? Let's say the US were to export more stuff to China. Now American companies have more money to buy assets. If they use this money to buy assets in the US it would

Something that I have been wondering about for a long time. Why is it considered to be a good thing to export more? It seems to me that if a country imports more than it exports, it is getting a good deal. It exports stuff and gets more stu

Market performance is not the real driver of the company’s decisions. Every company has different stakeholders, who have different interests. The German state of lower saxony has a 20% stake in VW. That doesn't mean that VW does not

First of all, it's not like most engineers at Google are working on Bigtable or Borg, with a "very simple interface and tons of hidden internal complexity". I would say that most engineers are working on something like tha
