I looked a little into it. Some of it is indeed built on stuff that is quite old. It seems like they’re doing a vector embedding thing but have operations defined on their embedding space that capture certain symbolic reasoning abilities an

Bayes theorem is fairly elementary probability. It isn’t the part that is questioned in Bayesian statistics. Someone disagreeing with Bayes theorem would be like disagreeing with addition. The controversial part is the methodology for stati

They do. They also own lots of intellectual property and will provide some amount of financial support to startups that grow out of the university commonly. At the end of the day, they have endowments and they want to grow those. Specifical

On the rare occasion I record an audio message, I hold it in front of my face. To me it feels like talking on a speaker phone in my brain and I hold my phone accordingly.

I can’t either. That dates back to me being a kid before the dawn of the smartphone. It doesn’t need to be a phone — I’ll play guitar while watching TV or work on a hobby coding project. I just need something to do with my hands. I learned

Yeah they have a bunch of physical cafes in Philly. Their original location in Fishtown also sells some liquor like a coffee infused rum they make.

How is it not unfalsifiable? It’s a logical framework. You can argue it isn’t a good model but I’m confused how it is unfalsifiable as that doesn’t really seem to fit. However I don’t know much about it beyond the basic concept.

Clearly they’re a cartel because they colluded to form their own sports league that doesn’t give athletic scholarships (that’s all the Ivy League is after all). Jokes aside of lot of the complaints are kind of nonsense. For example, the art

On top of what people have said, I have a few suggestions. One is to reproduce recent papers for which the data is available and especially if the source code is available. Don’t look at their source code initially but use it if you get stu

My godfather is an academic that does some arcane nonsense (I mean that in the nicest way possible) involving topology and number theory. He told me a story about how he and his coauthor had a paper in review for 3 years because the reviewe

Sometimes this just happens by mistake. The literature is vast and people rediscover things fairly frequently that they honestly didn’t know existed. The related work section is a good faith effort to contextualize your work in the space of

It goes that way with furniture too. I wanted to make a super basic thing that doubled as a raiser for my TV and space to store a few books. Basically 3 pieces of wood. The cost of the wood was as much as some mass produced junk you can get

How do you feel when you scan a QR code today? Vindicated in a way that the idea was a useful one, even if the company didn’t quite pan out as you hoped, or more regretful?

I went to a tiny Catholic school that didn’t have a playground. We had a parking lot with two moveable basketball nets. We played “touch” football on the asphalt where touch was only a strong suggestion. We went to the nurse a lot.

It feels pretty close to the ship computer in original Star Trek. It wasn’t really an AI in that it was sentient, but a verbal natural language interface to a computer capable of running all sorts of analyses and ship operations. If it ran

This doesn’t scale. Sometimes only a small number of labs have the equipment needed to run an experiment, let alone the training on the equipment to do what needs to be done. This equipment can cost millions. Even if the results are correct

I never totally did — there’s certain situations I feel awkward in still — but I went from a shy kid to a fairly outgoing adult. It really was exposure, just putting myself in a public place and having small interactions with those around m

Moreover, a lot of those methods are hard to parallelize. I’m not up on state of the art HMC for example, but the standard formulation isn’t easy to parallelize beyond the basic linear algebra operations.

I agree. People are digging up papers with “Q*” in the title without understanding what they’re talking about. I think it’s silly to read into the OpenAI statement but their “Q*” algorithm probably means something pretty specific to them th

Well Q learning has been incredibly fruitful over the last decade. If you want to know why it wasn’t fruitful before the last decade, the answer is that it was. Data driven techniques went in and out of vogue for this kind of stuff. The dif
