I like your analysis elsewhere. But you can’t avoid misallocations always. Some risk has to be taken by everyone. Even the private markets miscalculate roi. You also can’t avoid debt (printing money). At the simplest, you can tell yours

The only thing that’s awkward is that he sold a lot of his tesla stake to lose his voting shares. Which is fine, but maybe they should write in the stock sale plan into the compensation plan. But then how will he maintain the 25% equity.

There are a couple of approaches to life I have used at various times: 1. Have fun. Limit productive activities to 2 hrs a day. 2. Go all out on a new idea. Succeed or fail. If there is no risk of failure, you are really in mode 1. 2 is

They just clone it a few times and call it multi head attention. 2 doesn’t really make sense. 3 is the right number.

I just think of scaled dot product attention as a generalized convolution mechanism. The query, key, value jargon is a little confusing. All 3 are derived from the same signal in self attention and just multiplied with each other. Who k
