Totally separate from this line of discussion is that if you want to use an LLM for, say, copyediting it's pretty obvious to me how a diffusion model could get much better results. Like if you take your existing document and measure th

Consider the entropy of the distribution of token X in these examples: "Four X" and "Four X and seven years ago". In the first case X could be pretty much anything, but in the second case we both know the only likely com

The modern approach is common view time transfer. Both clocks can observe signal sources such as satellites and compute their relative offsets. The signal doesn't need to be particularly accurate (though it doesn't hurt), thoug

The timing output from a $5 gps receiver isn't particularly impressive. You have to go to pretty long time intervals for a non-timing GPS to win out. Depending on your application those intervals may be thoroughly irrelevant, e.g. us

High average productivity can just as well come from aggressively not employing anyone that doesn't drive the revenue per head-count forward. I suggest that the below-average workers productivity is inflated by aggressive fat cutting-

Is there really a limit on bits to shed? I suspect not. Take N gates, normalize them, represent them as points on the surface of a hypersphere. Quantize the hypersphere as coarsely as you need to get the precision you want. Want less pr

Might be useful to use gabor filters as the basis function, since just 2d cosine filters doesn't produce particularly sparse output for angled features. The additional overcompleteness would probably be helpful for the NN learning.

Fair point though compilers could presumably do much better warning there on arrays-- at least treating the whole array like a single variable and warning when it knows you've read it without ever reading for it.

Zero initializing often hides real and serious bugs, however. Say you have a function with an internal variable LEN that ought to get set to some dynamic length that internal operations will run over. Changes to the code introduce a path
