If you look at it, I'm sure you'll find equally plenty of people rolling their eyes at film critics for "making that up". But I broadly share the sentiment of your message, and I personally blame some sort of variation o

Is it so hard to accept the fact that an author might not be completely 100% conscious of all the things influencing them when creating a work of art? That some choices they made because they just felt right in the moment come from somewher

I'd give it a shot to make node embeddings with Node2Vec [1] and then reduce them to 2D with UMAP [2]. I think it could help breaking apart the hairball, assuming you have a nice clustered structure. [1] https://pytorch-geom

Granted that I'm not a physicist and I may be wrong about this, but I don't think what you say is correct. This is not a matter of interpretation. In no interpretation changing the spin of an entangled particle will change the spi

I have visited it in the Easter week, with my 4 year old. It's nice, but I experienced a major disappointment when visiting the immersive experience about the quantum world: they explain quantum entanglement in the wrong way! The voice

I don't know if this is exactly what you are thinking about, but there are some physicists working to understand what happens in transformers: https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2023/file&#x

Some people would disagree with dismissing information as non physical. For instance: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=3327 The argument there would be that stuffing an extra bit of information in an information saturated volu

Not OP, but in a similar situation. I'm 39, the last time a dentist looked in my mouth I was probably 16 or so* and I brush only once a day (after breakfast, which is the least effective over doing it before going to sleep). Never had

I haven't tried it unfortunately, and I don't really have data to make an educated guess. I have played a little bit with some training and it seemed a bit slow, but the environment for testing is not really representative of the

Funnily enough I literally just today launched a big job on LUMI that I have started also on another smaller cluster with nVidia GPUs. Basically, I'm running Llama2-70B to do some zero-shot text classification. The nVidia setup uses 4

I'd add that I had a great time reading the Metamorphoses by Ovid.

That unfortunately doesn't help me. I have imposter syndrome. Then I realize "who am I to think I deserve to have imposter syndrome? What have I accomplish for anybody to even think I might be an imposter?" I have imposter im

"Trust the science" is a silly slogan and should be dismissed. But you should also remember that "science" doesn't guarantee that _every_ paper is good. No one can. "90% of everything is crap" is a law of

As the final reader you're expected to do some due diligence and at the bare minimum read the reference list. Once you do, you can easily see which papers are self citations and which ones are not. If you're not doing this due dil

Writing about your own work in third person has nothing to do with using the passive voice. You can use the active voice just fine: "Papers X,Y,Z show that ..." works regardless of the identity of the authors of X,Y,Z So the style

What is interesting is that, if we turn this opinion change to the max, there are mathematical models showing that people should converge to the average (i.e. moderate) opinion of the system. However our model, via the four parameters we ca
