That's a bit overly reductive of their answer: 'It's not something that I want to come out and rebut. Like, yes, it's a trans allegory — it was made by two closeted trans women, how can it not be?! But the way that they

VAE objectives are useful for pushing embeddings into a Gaussian distribution. Here's some work on low-latency neural compression that you might find interesting: https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.03312

I kinda love doing the quick+easy explanation... And especially in professional contexts. "I teach computers what sounds different aminals make."

CoT gives the model more time to think and process the inputs it has. To give an extreme example, suppose you are using next token prediction to answer 'Is P==NP?' The tiny number of input tokens means that there's a tiny amo

Don't conflate labor's perspective with capital's started position... The companies aren't leaving the companies, the workers are leaving the companies.

Additionally, if you've already got vested stock in Company A from your time working there, jumping ship to Company B (with higher pay and a stock package) is actually a diversification. You can win whichever ship pulls in first. The &

Nice! My offhand solution not using xor is to subtract from the sum of 1 to n, which has a closed form solution. The closed form roughly halves the execution time, as we only have to iterate over the range once. Good to know there's a

A good friend+colleague uses that app for counting nests of migratory seabirds in drone imagery for population surveys. It's great. I work in acoustics, myself. :)

You seem... needlessly offended. Pass in your image with red dots, and the red dots will be counted by the ML-counting thing just fine. It's a minor variation in approach to solving the problem, and that's OK: When confronted with

The post specifically says there's not a tool for counting red dots on an image, and there absolutely are. From the side-counts, you still have to extrapolate to a volume, but a specific highlighted sub-problem is well addressed by app

Here's the go-to for counting stuff in pictures of lots of stuff: https://countthings.com/ This would probably be a hard case for it! But would be cool to see how well it works.

You take the branch with the stronger smell to get home. The branching point is where the trail divides, as different groups branch out, and thus the way home has more pheromones. Follow the trail and you don't need to remember the dir

Looking at TFA, it's placing in the spec a few things that are already widely stacked onto the format (such as animation). This is a very sensible update, and backwards compatible with existing PNG.

There was once a company making a bass ukulele with inch-thick polymer strings. Playing them was kind of hilarious, and would be fun to see it scaled up to the size of an actual bass guitar... Probably someone has done it...
