Wow, putting effort into training material, thoughtfully designing it, and relating the material to the final exam, will increase performance on said exam. So much AI so much wow. Like seriously. Most university statistics courses suck big

This article is awesome. It should be required reading for all engineers but probably mostly ML researchers. I’ve encountered my fair share of geniuses that are oblivious to the fact that the world is indeed complex and has a near infinite

You’re thinking information content in the neurons but not distributions. D(world of text) is much much much larger than D(transformer). Just because you’re passing information through a smaller channel doesn’t mean the original distributio

The problem really is one has to find out what constitutes the embedding and output if you want to apply f(manifold) but as others have pointed out that’s out of scope for this paper. My only insight here is that it is not surprising at all

Now that’s interesting.. what exactly distinguishes latent representations and the manifold? IMHO, those are the same, and you’re constructing a piecewise function of the manifold itself. Decoders also produce manifolds much in the same way

by usernametaken29 4mo ago
Kind of. Autoencoders don’t need to have an embedding that’s smaller than the input. Their only requirement is that they compress information and thus create reconstruction loss. Typically however they are not trained this way because they

If you think about it for some time then you’ll come to realise transformers are autoencoders on steroids. A small input space is expanded onto a big manifold and contracted again. Now, suppose you want to impose a function to regulate the

I agree partially with this. America is a special circumstance because of the way the industrial complex and government contracts are linked, and there’s a lot of blatant corruption. If you look at the European regulation framework I believ

Honestly this is a good thing. I can endure buggy software but I don’t want to deal with buggy planes. Regulatory pressure is a market force and a useful one too. There’s a huge difference between ship fast and ship right - the latter one r

I was thinking the same. Airflow does exactly the same thing. The only benefit here is that it’s their little workflow engine so they can get all their little edge case accounted for…

Wishful thinking has it that we rally our representatives to let OpenAI and consorts rot. The last thing people should do is bail these delusional people out. Let them have it worse then WeWorks and let’s see if their self crowned AGI can h

When the title said PR spam my first thought was the massive amount of scam posts released by Antrophic, OpenAI and a gazillion AI tools that solve all your problems (supposedly). Much to my surprise this was also an ad for an AI tool. Lowk

Isn’t the idea of AI precisely to find universal compression from arbitrary input data, at least with LLMs?

I remember that cryogenesis was deemed viable in the 80ies but essentially surface area is your enemy. Anything larger than a cat can’t be resurrected. It’s pretty bizarre really, they froze mice and microwaved them back to life.

At that scale it is almost always easier to run your own infrastructure. Like, I’m not kidding, kubernetes will handle it fairly easy. Get a DevOps engineer or a good consulting agency and run your cluster on Hetzner. This saved us insane a
