Could you expand on this? I can't really parse it; the first thing that came to mind was a DAO where token holders could vote on...something related to parameters and fine tuning, but idk what.

This is totally false, I dare you to write anything close to e.g. BERT with Prolog.

That's not really a C implementation of GPT-2 since it cannot be used to do the thing everyone cares about: self-supervised learning from text. In fact, it doesn't even use the weights in the same way GPT-2 does, so it's not

I think it's the possibility of nontermination that leads to unsoundness. You can construct a well-typed program that never produces a result, which means the fact that a program has a particular type does not mean you've proved a

The input is always needed, the neural net is an iterative algorithm that views the "local information" gathered from the array on every time step. It's asking continuously whether e.g. `A[i] > A[i+1]`.

No, the neural net needs to receive a feature vector before each instruction in order to sort the array. So whenever you want to sort things, you need to create that vector over and over.

Breathing affecting health in that way was absolutely news to me. I'm very skeptical that you really could have predicted the results of that study before reading it. In fact, your post on that story was: > Did you all know that hum

You could make a substantive point regarding the hypocrisy of allowing protests while ostensibly under "lockdown", but a post like this is just cheap.

I'm a little confused, because I'm typing this underneath a GE incandescent bulb, which is also the only type of bulb I use. Has this "elimination" not happened yet?

I live in New York and I'm under the impression the hospitals were never overwhelmed. That was the fear, but it didn't actually happen. They also thought they would run out of ventilators, but never came close to using all of them

In theory. In practice, Manifest v3 (the changes to adblockers) will be implemented at the C++ level, meaning you'd need to fork Chromium in order to avoid it. I would be surprised if Brave even had the engineering power to do that. Mi

Windows itself collects telemetry so I can see your point, but your example is bad. Single sex bathrooms are not symbolic at all and are a serious issue.

This is puzzling to me because I had the opposite reaction: among other things, Deno solves an incredibly important problem with Node, which is the complicated configuration used with most projects. Deno can perform, out of the box, many of

Posts like this really need to specify what type of person they are talking about. 15 minutes is very clearly not enough for someone with dark skin.

I think the coronavirus has proven this to be false. Many of the so called "essential jobs" are low paid, but the "essential" label is an acknowledgement of their high value to society.

I have a hard time liking Tetris due to the fact that it's basically illegal to make a clone. The Tetris Company is very aggressive about shutting down any popular clones. It seems pointless to invest energy in Tetris when they simply

Have you ever implemented a programming language before? You are relying a lot on "quick skims" and the POV of an "impartial reader", i.e. someone who does not know the domain. It's much easier to see through the bu

You are being too charitable. Nock does not have any interesting properties and does not meet any serious constraints besides being obscure. Here is Nock's origin document, for reference: http://moronlab.blogspot.com/20

Nock and Hoon are intentionally obscure. There is no good reason for either of them to be the way they are. Until they come to grips with this, Urbit is somewhere in between an art project and a pyramid scheme. Here is a legible alternative

AFAICT the context is that he's been downplaying the severity of the pandemic for a while now. This is just the latest example.
