The circling ball/shell model is extremely useful and intuitive for high school chemistry though, so changing one without the other probably will cause more harm than good. I am a physicist and to be perfectly honest when I have to und

I think you mixed up fission and fusion there. Regardless, a fusion reactor will need similar amount of cooling infrastructure if you want to output a similar amount of electricity.

You're right from a financial standpoint, but I wonder if from a psychological standpoint, it is easier for humans to start doing something new than it is to stop doing something they have been doing for a long time?

Do general purpose adversarial patches even exist? I thought they were pretty specific to the particular network, subject and viewing angle?

I think the limited specificity of their definition of COVID-19 means it is easier to detect effects for populations that have higher incidence.

It may be a tragedy, but I fail to see why it is a tragedy of the commons? Which resource that is a available to all is being overused? High-paying dev jobs? Those are not a commons in the sense that tragedy of the commons implies because l

I don't think AI music necessarily lacks soul, if it is used as a tool by a human. Just the same as a photograph can carry soul, not just a painting.

I agree that some kind of fallback is unavoidable at the current level of technology, but the design is critical. Having a "just go" button that disables the safeties and let's the self-driving continue against its own better

From the initial reporting it sounded like there was some kind of "just go" button that overrode the safeties, in which case I would have attributed it to poor self-driving design anyway. But "joystick control" sounds li

Came to the comment section to say this. I suspect it may be a mistranslation?

My friend is an archivist/curator for Luis Vuitton, and my understanding is they do a pretty decent job. I assume this is because they actually derive some brand value from their own historicity.

That's like saying there is no "sending" an email to Lebanon. Sure you may be technically right but everyone understands what is meant, and in consequence it is equivalent to physically sending.

Please not more beepers. Some low level white noise is much less intrusive and easier to localize.

Probably because going through another round of certification is harder than using the existing vaccine as a booster, the hope being that this will already significantly improve delta resistance.

I read a quote somewhere (possibly via @gwern) that the only secret worth keeping about the H-bomb was that it was feasible. But I can't find it anywhere, does someone know it?

To answer the question the original poster apparently had, here are the first two sentences of the abstract: > AI is undergoing a paradigm shift with the rise of models (e.g., BERT, DALL-E, GPT-3) that are trained on broad data at scale

I like the analogy to multi-head attention. Is there work on something like it for collaborative filtering embeddings, eg splitting up the vector into multiple subvectors and calculating distances separately?
503.
by phreeza 5y ago
If you use a standard distance metric for your embedding space, won't the triangle inequality still imply a slightly weaker version of these chains? I.e. if A-B and B-C are both smaller than epsilon, then A-C is smaller than 2*epsilon?

I assume that is if you already have the know-how. Starting from (almost) scratch would require more upfront work, right?

Not super related but note that the Frontiers group of journals has recently been criticised for somewhat dodgy peer review practices, where if a reviewer (or even an editor?) suggests rejection of a paper, their review will be removed and

The need for numerical simulations is completely unrelated to the predictability and/or stability of the system. If you have a Lyapunov exponent smaller than 0 everywhere, errors don't accumulate and you can simulate numerically f

True but a recurrence relationship is not the same as a closed form solution. The differential equation for a three body problem is also very simple.
