Transfomers use positional embeddings. The embedding of "a" in first position in word will be (slightly) different from embedding of "a" in second position of the word, roughly. These positional encodings are also sums o

It is two hours long video and you cannot verify presence of the pertinent information. AI are functions, it is very easy to make an exact simulation of their collective behavior. Did that person do that?

Define "a lot of work." In Haskell you need to define a type and implement two classes (IsList and Num). Then you will have the ability to use [1,2,3] * 4 and get your [4,8,12]. Is it a lot of work? It does not seem like that for
