You're not making any sense to me. How did you get from "not famous" to "must not being a great programmer"?

This is still years away from mass production. The process takes hours at very high temperatures to make a single layer.

Where did they claim to make a chip? It seems to be just a single epigraphene layer.

Normalizing flows and neural ODEs are becoming a bigger thing, and they do involve some more heavy maths.

I've probably read 100 ML papers. They're pretty bad. Even the most cited ones like Adam, Attention, and Latent Diffusion are messy, unclear, or just straight up wrong at times. Adam - Their algorithm is inefficient. Their paper c

It'd be interesting to see a diffusion model for this.

How would you build a semantic search engine that can also take rules, e.g. "AI papers with the word 'transformer' in them."

Or, users can check their passwords against known-compromised lists. It's not on them to hold users' hands and check for their mistakes.

This is basically how you win every CodinGame Spring/Fall Challenge, though you check many paths in parallel (beam search) instead of a single at a time (A*).

Oh my, that was the first thing that I came to complain about here. The type setting is pretty awful, it makes it very difficult to read.

I love this paper. It reads very much like "this is what we did, and we want to help others do it too." Also, the section "Remark on Novelty" is golden: "OpenVoice does not intend to invent the submodules in the mod

One thing I really like about Verilog is explicit register widths. I want to be able to work at the individual bit level, something that Python (and even C) are not very good at. Is Chisel decent for efficiency?

You can hook it up to a monitor and stream the graphics over HDMI. And yes, there are ways to simulate Verilog

Look at the author list... Dirk Englund. What do you mean by "no"? Do you mean, not that paper (that neither of us linked because there are probably several on matrix multiplication) but instead this other one that also has opti

No, they're poor at explaining. Have you read the Adam paper? The key concept is the signal to noise ratio, but it's only mentioned on the third page in a paragraph that nearly covers the screen.

I too "read Vaswani et al. (2017) multiple times, carefully, and was quite unable to grasp what 'attention' was supposed to be doing. (I could follow the math.) I also read multiple tutorials, for multiple intended audiences,

I'm not a researcher here, but I'm pretty sure Bayesian neural networks are realizable with quantum computers, which is a substantial "quantum advantage".

Yep, just this year they announced a whole lot of money for quantum networking, and I'm sure the rest of quantum computing gets even more.

This paper is horribly written. It's like the authors are trying to sell me on them as researchers, instead of helping me understand their research (y'know, the entire reason journals got started??). An entire section for "st

This... doesn't seem to do anything special? Everyone already knew it was bad to "batch" ODEs by making them bigger, e.g. in "Neural Ordinary Differential Equations" (the paper that introduced neural ODEs): > One

Shor's algorithm and chemical simulations have been implemented on quantum computers, albeit very simple cases (factoring twenty-one, observing conical intersections). I don't think Grover's has been yet, but it's not mu

You send a photon with the polarization giving the bit: Basis +: | = 0, — = 1, Basis x: / = 0, \ = 1 You randomly choose a basis for each photon, but don't tell the receiver which basis it is until they receive the photon. They ra

The reason it doesn't list what the computer is "useful" for is because quantum computers currently don't have a lot of uses. Right now, it's mostly: - Fourier transform in log(n)^2 rather than nlog(n) time. Shor&#x
