There are lattice-based RNNs applied as language models.

In fact, if you have a graph and a path-weighting model (RNN, TDCNN or Transformer), you can use beam search to evaluate paths through graphs.
The piano action physically disconnects the hammer from the key after you press it. Here's a diagram:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(piano)#/media/File:For...

All the complexity you mention only affects how the repetition lever (part 9) briefly bumps against the hammer shank (part 8). The only information this imparts to the hammer is velocity, and once it happens there's no more contact until the hammer falls back down. The hammer can't somehow remember what caused it to travel at a specific velocity and strike the string differently. There's only a single degree of freedom in its movement. What you perceive as "a huge amount of tonal variation" is mostly note timing.

Yep. Most people don't read the rules, and are then surprised when we remove posts or comments. Some get very angry when we don't allow them to post wildly off topic content, or outright spam. I had to make an alt account after someone started sending death threats.

Flying Aircraft Carrier never make sense to me. It needs some kind of weird technology or economy of scale that allows the carrier to float more easily than the thing it carries by its own. Because otherwise, why don't the carried plane employ the same technology and ditch the carrier entirely?

Zeppelin used to be that because it can stay in the air more indefinitely while sacrificing almost everything else (speed, maneuverability, etc) but when planes beat it at even that, zeppelin usability just disappears.

Right, this is exactly the feedback that google is trying addressing by elevating Reddit posts. People complained so much about needing to add 'Reddit'; now those posts are surfaced, and people here are complaining again. Truly can't please everyone.

> Why would southern racist democrats switch to the party that had supported the civil rights act even more strongly?

Because the GOP — having had their electoral asses whipped for decades, looking for a way back into power, and with the John Birch Society and Liberty Lobby crowd (backed by ultra-rich folks wanting tax cuts) looking for a seat at the party's table — started espousing "conservative" positions and dog-whistling to the racists.

In essence, the GOP said, "OK, southerners, we get it that YOU don't like what we've been offering for years, and WE don't like that we keep losing elections, so we'll start offering what YOU like."

Once again: Life isn't a snapshot or freeze-frame, it's a movie. The Dems used to be the party of racism and the GOP the party of freedom and equal opportunity; over time, the parties switched roles.
Sustained standardization mostly harms/ruins programming languages.

That said, it would be good to see a Common Lisp standard which cleans up outstanding issues (like whether, when an exit point for a dynamic control transfer is chosen, are the inner exit points below it torn down before the transfer takes place, or tear-down-as-you-go?)

And also standardize some common practices.

A standard way to include special characters in strings would be nice. The C-like escapes perhaps: \n newline, \u123F for unicode and whatever.

Airships tend to have a problem with poor weather. Of the 5 airships the US Navy used, only one of them lived long enough to be decommissioned, and the other 4 all ended in total structural failure in bad weather. I don't have handy stats for other countries, but I believe it's well in excess of 50% of all airships ending their lives in crashes.

While I don’t think Lambda School is good, did they actually ever collect on any students who didn’t get jobs?

It seems kind of important to the premise. These things may have been loans and had a finance charge or whatever. But if you can “default” and nothing happens… what are they really?
The studies don't actually 'suggest' any causality. Just like the studies in question don't suggest that the moon is made of cheese. So you wouldn't want to write either in a headline.

Mm... I can't remember what it's like to be 6 years old (maybe they're too young still?), but these days there are a lot of light-programming-inside-games that they can do, like Fortnite Creative Mode or Roblox or Lego Worlds or of course Minecraft. Most of those games they can start off just playing (with supervision, if needed) and then eventually make stuff in later on, only if they like it.

And there's also visual programming stuff like Scratch, which targets kids. I dunno, those just sound more fun than Logo or MS Word, lol.

Also, an iPad or Fire for Kids might be another thing to consider... there are a lot of kid apps and it's less maintenance than a real computer and more parent-lock-downable, I think.

My experience in pursuing this is that I applied to about a dozen on-campus CS grad programs, over the course of two years, noting this research direction, but those applications were all rejected. You would think with the emergence of generative AI that there could be some interest. I suspect the application was of interest, but that universities have a shortage of experts in generative AI, and that a multidisciplinary project like this might be misunderstood within a CS department or would have to be accepted by a very specific advisor who may not exist. The best chance might be to convince investors to help assemble the right team and to provide a viable R&D budget.

When addressing negative feedback, it is crucial to demonstrate genuine concern, empathy, and a willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue.

That’s doubly true when delivering negative feedback. But this reads like the salesperson’s feedback was in an email because the response was written and the OP read the response.

In addition if you have a beef with someone, it is good manners to address it directly. Not by talking to their boss.

The salesperson is the one creating bad relationships. Not just with the report but also making work for the OP instead of foregoing asshole behavior.
I don't think this is entirely true. I think a non-insignificant portions of OSS is OSS because they want people to help build the project (for free)
The contracts in the early days lasted up to five years, so people who went on to further training (e.g. associates degree at a community college) still owed money even though Lambda School had zero role.

Later, they extended it to eight years and removed the “tech job” stipulation. I read one account a guy owing money who worked as a mailman.
>the real benefit of Reddit to the Google algorithms quality of output, is the human sorting of content.

I think it's 100% this. But, maybe worse. While Google is claiming they are simply giving users what they want (e.g. observing that users were adding reddit to search terms), I believe they were also getting their asses handed to them by SEO spam / gaming and their search quality nose-dived. In the last year or so I have noticed a very sharp degradation in quality, including non-user language obvious content spam taking top results.

It's almost like their algo was finally broken for good and they had no response or didn't want to invest in the continued SEO cat-and-mouse while they pivot their search to AI.

So, hardcoding to Reddit et. al. was the quick fix.

>Google algorithm has never been independently good, it has always been dependant on a large source of human curation

But, it does seem that at one time it was much better, and reliably provided reasonably useful results to non-explictly moderated results.

I don't think this is as simple as that (and it's not entirely the display's fault). 120hz iidx is a big upgrade over the previous lcds but I'm not sure it is over the games that ran on custom hardware that wasn't just a Windows PC.

I've got a firebeat at home that I play Pop'n on and it feels magical to play with absolutely minimal difference between when the audio and visuals are to where they game expects you to hit notes. Same cabinet but with a windows PC plugged in for modern games feels worse thanks to all the extra latency you get going through Windows (it's especially bad with the audio).

I know modern iidx and sdvx use newer audio apis that are lower latency but it's still more delay than the pre-PC systems imo.
I appreciate creating transparency at home, and recognise the probmematic relationship the Chinese government has with TikTok, but people should, while reading this, keep in mind that States have a valid and recognised interest in representing the interests of of their companies abroad.

What's happening with TikTok is obviously part of a wider push against Chinese companies, and I don't think it's per se nefarious for China to make representations for them. Yes, yes, technically they're not a Chinese company, yes, it does act as an example of how the precise relationship is murky, uncertain, and carries risks for the U.S.

But I'd ask that people reading this try and have cognitive empathy and self-awareness and recognise that the U.S. and other countries would be doing the exact same thing, and have done the exact same thing many times.

Let's just keep our heads on our shoulders about all this.

Eh, I disagree. When I began working in ML everything was about word2vec and glove and the state of the art for embedding documents was adding together all the word embeddings and it made no sense to me but it worked.

Learning about BoW and simple ways of convert text to fixed length vectors that can be used in ML algos clarified a whole for me, especially the fact that embeddings aren’t magic they are just a way to convert text to a fixed length vector.

BoW and tf-idf vectors are still workhorses for routine text classification tasks despite their limitations, so they aren’t really a dead end. Similarity a lot of things that follow BoW make a whole lot more sense if you think of them as addressing limitations of BoW.
Absolutely. The framing around this is mostly about "when is the next one", but given the unlikely combination of errors and circumstances that led to this one being discovered, why would we think that it's the first time? It seems likely that this has been going on for some time, against various projects, and this is just the first to be noticed.

In the 1950s, in Great Britain, the basic accuracy of the gospels was a lot more widely shared assumption/presupposition than it is today.

If you're going to accept Jesus as a good human teacher, but not accept that he actually taught what the gospels say he did, then you have a good teacher but no teachings. And maybe that's a position that a lot of people like, because it leaves them an empty figure into which they can pour whatever teachings they personally favor, but I think it's rather a cop-out. (A steelman version would be: "I think he was a good human teacher, but no reliable record of what he actually taught survives, so we cannot claim that any particular teaching or position has his stamp of approval." But I still think that's weak. If you can't trust the record of what he taught, how can you trust the record that he was a good teacher?)

Accepting the gospels, the liar you describe is still offering people eternal life, at a price - "take up your cross and follow me". (The cross was not just a burden, it was an instrument of execution.) If the eternal life isn't there, it's hard to describe that as a benign or beneficial lie. Note that many of his followers were executed. (Our record of that doesn't depend on the gospels - Tacitus also says this.) You may say that this still falls short of Lewis's description, but it's far from your description. (I'd have to go back and reread Lewis's argument to see how tightly he has boxed people in on the "liar" branch.)

To me it's more of a response to how sugar has been added and is available too easily in people's diets in the current year, it's simpler for the cognitive load to cut it out entirely than to moderate it.

I can see it the same way on how drug abusers will quit it entirely and rather than trying to have a moderate take on using since it's too much work to be moderate.
Although, sugar is not the same as a drug, the response of cutting the substance out entirely has some parallels to drug recovery. So the movement makes conceptual sense to me at least, and it's not like cutting it out is actively unhealthy. So I don't think it's a big deal to be a "zero sugar" person

The metric that's improved is computation speed, and it's achieved by essentially changing the computation (by not performing some computation that likely doesn't have large impact on the results).

Give that it's a different computation, you could argue that Mistral+effort is a new model with the improved metric of quality per amount of computation performed.

Otherwise - given that for every different input there's a seperate set of weights in the model that are excluded - I don't think you could conclude from this (if it holds up etc etc) that the base model is not optimal.

In a similar sense, quantization improved the "quality per model size" metric, but I don't think people are arguing that Mistral is less optimal than quantised Mistral (unless you're speaking about literally that metric). On the other hand, if you're targeting that metric specifically, then it would make perfect sense to say that quantised Mistral is more optimisal for it.

I guess it comes down to optimality being dependent on the metric you're looking at, and there being many things you might want to optimise for.

To note again, if this technique holds up, it's better than model distillation (just get rid of some of the weights) because for some inputs those weights could matter and this technique should (iiuc) account for that somewhat. To me, this is what it sounds like you're referring to when saying:

> If removing weights improves some metrics, that may be a clue that the model is not optimal in some sense
Have you got any examples, because this has not been my experience at all.

Not even in the slightest.
Anything that involves adding weight to the robot (e.g. carrying something from point A to point B) seems like something more suited for Spot than a camera drone.
