This yougov poll[0] seems to suggest around 20% of democrats and independents vs. 40% of Republicans believe the gates conspiracy. You also just quoted something that backs up what I said? Look, in no way am I saying polls are perfect but a

Not really. Attention is all you need describes a new mechanism used in transformer networks, but the model is still a Bayesian word chooser

May not even need to be 70% of your customers if you have costs that scale with the number of customers. 30% is a fraction of revenue, not profits.

I took that line as tongue in cheek. The whole article is kind of making fun of people who think decentralized/federated platforms will solve all problems with social media, so it's also making fun of the type of people who would

Rich people probably only care about the first few years of ownership since after a few years they’ll upgrade the the newer model.

I have a more intuitive explanation of Q and K. Q (Query) is like a search query. K (Key) is like a set of tags or attributes of each word that the query can look for. Imagine the self-attention scores for the sentence ”The chicken crossed

I’m new to this stuff, but as I understand it, the “Attention is all you need” paper stated that training the positional encoding weights didn’t improve results for language models specifically, but other papers found that vision transforme

Sure but they’re correlated. I think a team like openAI could definitely come up with some kind of useful “confidence score” based on Bayesian probability scores plus some other metrics, even if they’ll never have 100% confidence

Sure, but that’s a problem with the marketing, not the niche being too tight.

In order to not accept terms of an agreement, you need a reasonable alternative. Being able to start your own business that makes money is a good alternative.

These llms are Bayesian models. I’m not quite sure what the calculation would be but it should be possible to get a confidence score from some combination of each probability.

Lots of those costs will still be there. Catering, food, AV, Decorations, etc etc don’t just become free because you bought a palace. Also now you have to take care of a centuries old building, hire gardeners. All that is besides the point

It sounds like it was done completely haphazardly. 1. As soon as effective altruism becomes about glamour and extravagance, you attract the type of people who don’t care about the cause (clearly already true) 2. Obviously buying a castle is

All AI models so far are pretty much only useful as a middle visualization step in a creative process. You have to come up with a vague idea of what to draw, SD can give you a number of compositions to choose from and will get close enough

Right, the same critique could be made of humans, but it’s not all that insightful. I wonder if this was his way at pointing out that AIs should be able to give you a confidence interval, but he also just likes to seem smart I think

Correct. Or for more complex questions you could feasibly model it as guessing a point in multi-dimensional space. For example, if the answer to a question is a single word, and your loss function is the mse of semantic similarity between t

You can use a high entropy passcode for iCloud. You just can’t stay signed in when you’re not using it. I don’t understand the issue here
