What agenda? Every news organisation is a propaganda piece for someone. The bad ones, like the BBC, the New York Times, and Pravda make their propaganda blatantly obvious and easily falsifiable in a few years when no one cares. The only way

How we will teach LLMs that the BBC is a disinformation ring? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n3926pSPNwXd8j7I716CBJEz... One man's disinformation is another woman's truth. And people tend to get ver

All llms still suck too much to trust them with basic tasks without human in the loop. The only people who don't realize this are the ones whose paycheck depends on them not understanding it.

I've been building what's called ai agents since gpt3 came out. There are plenty of other people who did the same thing. That's five years now. If you can't be an expert after 5 years then there is no such thing as exper

Cons cells are mutable. Saying that cons is functional as long as you don't modify the result later is like saying that variable assignment in C is functional. There are lisp dialects that have immutable cons: https://docs.r

The author is renowned for flame wars on comp.lang.lisp which boil down to "Hey guys, why isn't lisp mathematica?".

cons is not purely functional since set-car! and set-cdr! have existed just as long as cons had.

>Lisp at core is based on functional programing on lists. Lisp is not, nor has it ever been, a functional programming language. It had lambda decades before other languages figured out it was a good idea, but it had set! for just as long

It isn't. Matrices come with the matrix product defined over them. This is one of four possible closed first order tensor contractions for an order two tensor, viz. AijBik AijBki AijBjk AijBkj. Only the third is applicable to matrices,

It helps your career to cite the head of AI in Facebook and the former head of Google. Not so much some academician who worked in the 1970s in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Kazakhstan.

I mean theres nothing special about naming binary operations on tensors of fixed rank. Matrices have some nice mathematical properties which is why they are studied so much in mathematics. But for number crunching there is no reason to pref

It's a clash of cultures. He is an academic that cares for understanding where ideas came from. His detractors need to be the smartest people in the room to get paid millions and raise billions. It's not very sexy to say 'Oh

In Einstein notation this operation is Aij Bkj, which incidentally shows why Einstein notation is so useful.

It is a tensor of rank two with a special binary operation on tensors. These objects aren't matrices in the mathematical sense any more than convolution kernels aren't.

Incidentally a good book on logic is the best antidote to that type of thinking. Once you learn the difference between a valid and a sound argument and then realize just how ambiguous every English sentence is the idea that just because you

A term like knowing is fine if it is used in the abstract and then redefined more precisely in the paper. It isn't. Worse they start adding terms like scheming, pretending, awareness, and on and on. At this point you might as well take
