Did you mean to paste a different image? That diagram shows a much older design than the transformer coined in the 2017 paper. It doesn’t include token embeddings, doesn’t show multi-head attention, the part that looks like the attention mechanism doesn’t do self-attention and misses the query/key/value weight matrices, and the part that looks like the fully-connected layer is not done in the way depicted and doesn’t hook into self-attention in that way. Position embeddings and the way the blocks are stacked are also absent.

The FT article at least describes most of those aspects more accurately, although I was disappointed to see they got the attention mask wrong.
The foundation is the information in the article.

Saying it has no foundation, ipso facto it is baseless, is just laundering your subjective opinion to make it sound objective.
I'd say marriage is a doggedly hopeful way to make someone please you, be useful, and act like they're friendly, under color of law, but it rarely captures the actual thing you imagine it's enshrining.

I am surely not a moral judge, as I am not sitting on any ethics panel monitoring animal trials. What can easily be said so, is that those panel are necessary. And that there are practices aroind those panels, if a company ignores those that is a huge red flag.

Same goes for slaughtering animals for meat, there are rules, lax as they may be, so if those bare minimum rules are ignored it also a red flag.

In questions of doing illegal things or not, there are no two sides to be considered. As long as the laws came into being in a democratic process, but we are not discussing that particular can of worms here.
The post I replied to makes a broader point than just Australia ("invasive everywhere").
I was thinking you could cover the moon in rotating mirrors to redirect the light to solar panels. And if they can be controlled independently, you can tweak them and basically use the surface of the moon as a giant display, who wouldn't want the moon to look like a giant Apple logo?
You are confusing "no base" with "no evidence". A basis can also be logical support. And OP has outlined the logical (decision theoretical) foundations of their reasoning pretty clearly.

I still don't quite understand it. Where does the battery get the energy? I understand that there's no difference in a circuit, but why is this comparison relevant? Many power sources are way less efficient that using a battery, but we need to charge the battery.

Can you elaborate on the applicability of the blockchain to CRFD's mission? They don't seem to be in the business of decentralized coordination.
> they also modulated the logic behind the Weighting methods. No?

No. They did not change the logic. They cannot change the logic. They wouldn't have a clue how to do that. No one does. The neural network is practically impossible for us to understand and manipulate directly at that level. Way too complicated. They trained it to be "less racist" by RLHF until it was sufficiently woke.

The logic is exactly what is "learned" automatically by the machine and is beyond our current abilities to understand at a low level. The neural net is too vast.

> you think they just "asked it to be less racist"

Yes that's basically what they did. It is incredible technology.

I don't get why they go for storage with this. Storing a block of carbon or tungsten at 2000°C for hours or days does not sound like something that will ever be economical. A battery leaking energy this quickly (and it will leak₎ will need to be incredibly cheap to ever make sense.

I wonder if you could use this with parabolic mirrors, though. Build a large mirror array, focus sunlight onto a big carbon sphere (maybe coat it with one of those new materials that are transparent for visible light but pretty reflective for IR), cover the top of the sphere in those new panels. They are more efficient than practically all solar cells and get much more power out the same area than solar cells. This should beat a photovoltaic parabolic mirror setup, right?
Rails is great, and better than ever.

I've spent most of my early years in the field working with Django and Laravel, then moved to frontend doing [all the usual stuff we do nowadays] and this year I was assigned back to a Rails + Hotwire project.

I'm truly amazed how much simpler things are. I feel sad most of us have forgotten how easier things could be, and I'm terrified about new people joining this industry that will never know about how easier things could be because they'll never experience that (as things are right now, who knows the future...).

If you're reading this and never tried Rails, or discarded it because you listened somebody say the usual "PHP is ugly/Rails is dead/JavaScript is messy" give it a try with an open mind and ignore what others say for a moment. I can't recommend it enough.

It might not be the best tool if you have 1k engineers working on the same repository, but as a small team it has no competitors, it's just miles ahead everything else (well, honestly, maybe Laravel is as good).
So like obviously the original comment was facetious.

But just to make it clear… “weeded out of market after the parts fail” involves a billion dollar aircraft with hundreds of humans on it. And just to be more clear, delta is the fourth airline to report these parts.

So when does natural competition start? Because the goal is of course to prevent anyone from getting hurt due to problems that may occur on ~100 jets.
What Is the Point of Decidability
What exactly do you think they do? I'm not sure how you think blockchain helps anything, nor what you think you're comparing machine learning with.
The article is written like notes, and seems to mainly be about expositing sociological theory, not giving life advice. So I would forgive it the somewhat cold tone. How such information is applied in real life will depend on each person's individual needs.
To me, these brainstorming sessions theorizing the future of AI tools always miss a key thing, which is that human beings are still human beings. They don't follow logical rules of adoption and they often rebel against the things you force them to do.

For example, they talk about AI-generated copies of your voice becoming the way people communicate with each other. But who wants to listen to a computer copy of someone else's voice? No one. Maybe it will replace the pizza shop guy answering the phone, but it certainly isn't going to replace real conversations between friends and family members.

I saw another app that uses a small number of family photos to generate the surrounding scene where the photos were taken. Again, it's just a gimmick – family photos have value because they are memories of real events, not because of the intrinsic nature of the photographic paper.

If I were a betting man, I would bet on a major backlash to this sort of "automate everything" approach and a serious counter-culture to arise in the next decade or two.
You really should put in a sarcasm marker for content like this, there's no way to tell if you're serious.

> in 1958 (the year Prince was born)

I was confused at first how Prince is relevant, but it seems GP is referring to the CEO of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince, who was born in 1974. (1958 appears to be the birth year of Prince the musician)

Not that it affects your point in any way.
I never thought of the I in AI as a comparison to a human of average intelligence. I always understood it means intelligence as in "capable of reasoning", regardless of whether it's "kinda dumb" or "super smart" - the same way we speak about animals not being intelligent, and are looking for "intelligent alien life" in space - the aliens might not be very smart, perhaps even totally dumb, but still intelligent. The same applies for AI, perhaps it doesn't match even the least performing humans, but it's still intelligent.
This is all making me realize investors are just people with money (not these super intelligent market predictors that they're often portrayed). You'd do the same to market a product as you would to skim off the flood of money going into a hyped field I suppose.

There are a looooot of moving parts in a CCGT generating station, multiple oil loops, multiple coolant loops, many consumables, a complex control flow.

Being able to replace the combined turbine/alternator assembly with a 'when it gets hot, voltage comes out' unit would give you significant reliability gains and lower operating costs.
Not everywhere you have first party service to swap battery and usually after 3rd party swap you cannot trust water resistance anymore, therefore this tactic might not be for everyone

Also by looking at metrics of my wife phone you are basically even after about 1.5y - 2y (gets to 80%), so you loose battery life first but after that time you are net positive.

If you plan sticking to your phone for longer time, then it's good investment.
> you may as well run MySQL

You're right, there are use-cases where SQLite is not appropriate. But nothing beats the ease of installation/backup/maintenance of SQLite compared to server databases like MySQL or Postgres.
Another point is development: For unit-tests, I found that initializing a SQLite database for each test-run is much easier (and faster) than having a VM that runs Postgres/MySQL/etc, which I have to spin up and tear down before/after each test run.
wouldn't that be easier if you just ssh?

> He struggles with defining love

Well it is infamously difficult to define, so he's not alone in that.

Poets, artists, philosophers and scientists have all been trying and failing to define love for thousands of years.

I suspect that it means different things to different people so by its nature is undefinable.

Betavoltaics aren't really either - they provide a constant, slowly-over-years declining flow of power. They can't be recharged, they _could_ be refueled (don't know if it's economic though), and are mostly used when you need a small flow of power and a long period of time between maintenance (think pacemakers, weather buoys, some satellites or probes).
They don't ever run those close to this hot, right? There's barely any turbine blade materials able to withstand half those temperatures.

At those temperatures, even the best alloys lose a large percentage of their strength. And also, steam this hot is incredibly corrosive.
The author does not use a single word of emotion to describe what he calls "backstage intimates", so I reject this label for the kind of friendships I talk about. I would primarily describe them based on emotions! Intimacy, platonic love, deep appreciation, being confidents!

The greek storge variant of love comes closest to what I am talking about. I have three friends like that, I trust them on a deep level, we often talk about our deepest feelings, in complex ways they love me and I love them. I even share physical closeness with them, when we meet we are as close as a long distance couple that just met again in real life. With two of them I occasionally have sex when we see each other, opposed to my FWB I do not have a connection to beyond sex. They are beacons of light in my dark life and among the most valuable things I have.
> Your reductionist approach to human agency and freedom of will is appalling.

I don't understand where this is coming from at all. I value human agency and freedom most of all.

> Poor Americans of today have better healthcare than kings of 300 years ago.

Yes, in the last 300 years we started using soap and also discovered penicillin, this has indeed caused enormous leaps forward in medical care. Did you mean medical access? That is still highly striated based on class, and our royalty class seems to be smaller but far more wealthy now (the difference in net worth between our top .1%, 1%, and 90% is astounding).

> The conditions of the poorest 10% have vastly improved over the last 100 years, both in relative and absolute terms, and keep improving.

People say this all of the time but outside of soap and penicillin I'm not exactly sure what people are talking about. The poor and starving seem to only exist in greater numbers than ever in history. Perhaps the conditions of the absolute poorest in American society are slightly better than the absolute poorest in American society 200 years ago, but at the cost of creating new poverty classes abroad in colonized places that previously had relatively low technological development but much higher happiness and quality of life than they do now.

It's tempting to think so, but that's not at all right.

> Cars used to be a variety of iconic shapes and designs, now they are one homogenized platform.

I don't see this. They're pretty diverse in form now, from the "star trek shuttlecraft" look of people carriers and boxy form of the Hummer and similar SUVs, the low-slung form of road sports cars, the cute bubble that is the Microlino, etc.

> Houses used to have a variety of rich architectural styles. Now all new builds have the same rendered concrete, flat walled, sharp edges, soviet style.

I'm in East Berlin, so I get to see soviet style up close a lot. Surprisingly, this is often a better look than the Brutalist style in the UK in the same era: https://www.google.com/maps/@52.5158104,13.4533347,3a,75y,27... (of course, this may just be "the bad ones got taken down, or remodelled, or looked so bad those bits of the city are places nobody has reason to go to — which are all things I suspect of making the past seem rosier than it was).

Importantly though, it's also not at all like the modern stuff going up in former parking lots etc.; and when I wander the older parts of the city and suburbs I see many repetitions of the older styles.

Also I think you may have edited the order without checking the dates, fusion was first demonstrated in 1930s not late 1800s[0], electric cars were 1820s which I guess is still "20s", etc.

[0] we were still arguing about if atoms existed until Einstein's brownian motion paper in 1905, and didn't have E=mc^2 to suggest there was any point to fusion even to those who accepted the atomic model until his other, more famous, 1905 paper… but even that wasn't enough as we didn't know about the mass difference until (IIRC) 1920.

I suppose you might have meant "radioactivity" in general? That was Becquerel and the Curies in 1896. (Sounds like a good name for a band…)

funny little story.
I changed my phone number a few years back. But a friend of mine didn't get the memo. He's a really foodie guy who loves eating breakfast in off the map diners, and tacos from obscure food trucks. He sends like 3-6 photos per day of food he's eating.

Anyway, I hadn't heard from him in a couple months, but we ended up in Vegas at the same time with some mutual friends. And I was like, hey, I haven't heard from you in months. He was like, "I thought it was really rude of you to tell me to stop sending you my breakfast photos".

We put it together eventually that he had been sending his breakfast photos for TWO MONTHS to some new guy with my old cellphone number, before that guy was finally like "shut the fuck up and stop sending me pictures of your food".

Funny side story about that guy (let's call him Bo). My brother is germaphobic and only eats tortilla chips up to where his fingers touched them, then makes a pile of tiny finger-touched corners of tortilla chips on a little napkin. Bo sits down at the bar and unconsciously just starts munching these tiny little corners for awhile, then goes, "where did you get these mini chips?" and watches in horror as my brother discards another one.

I'm not sure how this relates to the original conversation about friends, but I'm sure it does somehow.
I might understand some of that, but couple extra questions if you don't mind answering: There's the key value pairs in the middle if I understand correctly, but what do the points on the last layer stand for? Are the key value pairs a vector and the last layer an actual token in a simple LLM, for example?
What do blockchains help for coordination (among three players btw, as other posts point out, why even decentralized)?

What is wrong with the current proven algorithms/approach doing the celestial referencing (which is not rocket science btw)? How would machine learning help and overcome the necessary accuracy and certainty needed here?

Dad was a polymath. He used pen plotters to map out his VLSI designs in the 1980s and taught VLSI at CIT in Melbourne. I remember as a kid watching the magic as the diagram unfolded on A3 paper. I also remember my grandmother bought a four colour plotter for her home pc (Oric Atmos I think). She put herself through business systems in the 70s at night school, too. Probably enough genes there to get me into software dev :)

I guess we'll enjoy adding "AI means artificial intelligence, not generative text" to that statement for the rest of our lives.
I guess my parent comment was lead a bit by the fact that nowadays AI is often conflated with superhuman intelligence. You're certainly correct in that even a "dumb" AI could still be intelligent.

The interesting question is of course if that applies to LLMs or not. Are they actually intelligent or do they just look intelligent (and do we even have the means to answer those questions)?

I feel like that’s more the nature of luxury-priced products than reflection of their actual capabilities.

Out of the box a Range Rover is a better off roader than a Jeep, more locking differentials, and more ground clearance, but simply the average buyer isn’t going to use it that way.

Putting both those vehicles to shame is the Mercedes G-wagon, but only once in my life have I ever seen one of those on the trails.

Realistically the best capabilities will come from the aftermarket, and that depends on how many people can afford to beat up that vehicle.
Nobody other than yourself is arguing that reasonable doubt is being generally ignored by juries. You either misunderstood the Kalven-Zeisel study that you brought to the argument or you failed to read it.

The study showed that juries had a higher threshold for conviction than judges, which is a direct repudiation of your point that "reasonable doubt is generally ignored by juries. Interviews of post conviction juries show they often convict people who they have serious doubts actually committed the crime." It also explained that similar results to this had been reproduced many times over.

It's not even conclusive that it is purely due to juries having a different interpretation of reasonable doubt as it is explained that "Much more research is needed to map experimentally the differences and similarities between the judgments of judges and juries before concluding that judges are better than juries at specific tasks (e.g., assessing risk) or that deliberations enable juries to outperform judges on other tasks (e.g., assessing conflicting testimony)."

To be clear, your claim that juries are more likely to convict was disproven by your own data and your claim that they ignore "reasonable doubt" is unlikely given that they err on the side of reasonable doubt. The later article you posted doesn't really have anything to say about either of these things, but instead presents better ways to articulate the idea of reasonable doubt to a jury.

I don't find your latest argument about dice rolling persuasive either as (1) it's not an empirical argument, and (2) this oversimplifies the complex dynamics of legal decision-making and doesn't effectively challenge the implications drawn from the Kalven-Zeisel study -- unlike the randomness of dice, legal decisions are derived from a deliberative process grounded in law, evidence, and rational argumentation.

Rarely does a day go by without some frustration caused by tools trying to be clever. Garbage software like Teams and Discord is usually the culprit. Using this kind of software is less about sending commands and more begging for behaviour and hoping the beg is interpreted in an unsurprising way.
