We’ve always been told that decision trees are the best base learners for Gradient Boosting Machine Learning. I’ve always wanted to see for myself. A few days ago, I noticed that my Cython implementation of LSBoost in Python package mlsauce was already quite generic (never noticed before), and I decided to adapt it to any machine learning model with fit and predict methods.

Re your parenthesized question: x32, as discussed in the article, is an ABI using the full x86-64 instruction set and registers, but pointers are 32-bit. I believe you are talking about the same thing, because any “32-bit instructions” (assumably x86/i686 instructions) cannot use “new x86-64 registers” (either in full count of registers or their 64-bit width).
I think there has now been enough crossover between Information Theory and Quantum Mechanics, that we can stop splitting hairs between "it's an algorithm on a computer, that isn't physics".

For this to work in any reasonable manor it should work more like package repos in Linux.

There is absolutely no point to any of the 3rd party app stores, if you cannot install your banking, travel or payment apps from them. Who cares about an EPIC app store, where games are ever so slightly cheaper, if you can't install the app for your government ID from that store?

There needs to be multiple store fronts, with the option of adding different package streams so that any store can carry any app. This is obviously going to be to confusing for the average person and will make the app stores unusable for most.

The whole idea of alternative app stores is idiotic, unless companies and governments aren't being forced to distribute their apps on all of them. Maybe you can have two app stores at the same time, but then I question what we actually gained. I don't want 3rd party app stores because Google and Apple are overcharging, I want them because I don't trust Google and I want to be able to use an Android phone while not giving Google ANY information at all. But I really don't care that Apple and Google are charging developers 30%, I really don't. I have only a few paid apps, and they where price just fine.

Yes, they were hired _despite_ their loyalty (and sometimes despite their war crimes).

But not just because of their 'impressive achievements' during their time as Nazi scientists, part of why they were hired was because the US was afraid to lose them to the Soviet Union based purely on _potential achievements_. Some scientists even played this as a card to get hired by the US.

i often avoid capitals myself in informal writing, but to be fair, there's a valid argument that period is pretty small and can be hard to spot by itself for something as important as the statement separator . capital letters help with that somewhat, although it doesn't help that we've overloaded them for other things . putting a space before the period helps keep it more distinct, but i really wish our punctuation was better designed (right after we reform english spelling i guess ...) .

but i digress . whataboutism aside, what's the actual problem ?
I competed against Microsoft in the 1980s in the compiler business. Microsoft failed at defeating my tiny (in comparison) company (Zortech). Zortech did quite well against Microsoft C, despite everyone telling me that the next Microsoft release would put Zortech out of business.

Microsoft is one tough competitor. But I knew how to compete with them. I never had much sympathy for Netfix with their crummy (in comparison) browser.

Microsoft could have made their compiler free, and it wouldn't have made the difference. Lots of companies successfully competed with the free utilities Microsoft bundled with their operating system. They did it the old fashioned way - by making a better product, not a worse product.

BTW, did you know that the IBM PC came with a free BASIC compiler? That didn't even slow down competing languages.

And the Gnu stuff. All free. Doesn't that undermine competition? Isn't that so unfair? Why doesn't the DoJ go after Gnu for unfair trade?

IMO this award recognizes the effort and success of modeling the acquisition of knowledge, especially toward realizing such models in usable ways that will surely redefine life on this planet forever. Few Nobels have recognized work that is so culturally groundbreaking (and so disruptive). It'd be hard to see the Nobels as a significant measure of science/technology if they did NOT acknowledge the revolution begat by ML using DL. And with Hopfield at age 91 and Hinton 76, now is the right time to do so.

The bane of every project is understanding what you actually need to do

For example, it is entirely possible that the "right foundation" for your proposed scenario is: Hook one end up to a lightswitch, the other to a light bulb, hire two operators trained in morse code. Then once the 10 bytes are sent write them their cheques and shut it down.

Everyone's welcome to their own opinion, but ones based on nothing are worth just that.
Yeah, and the Turing Award for CS, and there's probably a bunch more that I'm forgetting.

Still kind of weird that the prestigious award that everyone has heard of doesn't have a mathematics category.
My understanding was that the extra parameters required for the second attention mechanism are included in those 6.8B parameters (i.e. those are the total parameters of the model, not some made-up metric of would-be parameter count in a standard transformer). This makes the result doubly impressive!

Here's the bit from the paper:

> We set the number of heads h = dmodel/2d, where d is equal to the head dimension
of Transformer. So we can align the parameter counts and computational complexity.

In other words, they make up for it by having only half as many attention heads per layer.
Everyone's first thought when they read something is whatever the social norms say you're supposed to think (peer review = good, publishing without peer review = not science somehow?), but shouldn't you stop and wonder why the esteemed scientist wrote that line instead of just dismissing it? Otherwise you are only chiming in to enforce a norm that everyone already knows about, which is pointless.

One of the really refreshing things about reading older research is how there used to be all these papers which are just stray thoughts that this or that scientist had, sometimes just a few paragraphs of response to some other paper, or a random mathematical observation that might mean nothing. It feels very healthy. Of course there were far fewer scientists then; if this was allowed today it might be just too crowded to be useful; back then everyone mostly knew about everyone else and it was more based on reputation. But dang it must have been in a nice to have such an unrestricted flow of ideas.

Today the notion of a paper is that it is at least ostensibly "correct" and able to be used as a source of truth: cited in other papers, maybe referred to in policy or legal settings, etc. But it seems like this wasn't always the case, at least in physics and math which are the fields I've spent a lot of time on. From reading old papers you get the impression that they really used to be more about just sharing ideas, and that people wouldn't publish a bad paper because it would be embarrassing to do so, rather than because it was double- and triple-checked by reviewers.
Can you elaborate? As I understand Delta Lake provides transactions on top of existing data and effectively stores "diffs" because it knows what the transaction did. But when you have regular snapshots, its much harder to figure out the effective diff and that is where deduplication comes in. (Quite like how git actually stores snapshots of every file version, but very aggressively compressed).

You can bikeshed in any language. Kotlin introduced a lot of optional syntactic sugar so that Java devs could choose their level of comfort with the language features. I don't really see this as a problem unless your devs are prone to this sort of bikeshedding (see: your use of "smells funny"). I've used kotlin for Android since right before it was officially supported and there has been almost no downside other than the occasional hiccup with Java/Kotlin nullability interop

Do physicists know the fundamental structure? They have some mathematical approximations that work for some measurements. They can make some predictions in some areas, but the same approximations break down in other areas. So the fundamentals aren't 'known'.

Some think measurements is engineering. So are the physicist that focus on building an apparatus to measure a theory, they are engineers? So only the theoretical people doing math are physicist? Even thought at that point they are only doing math?

I have some issues with CPI that are used in these charts. I don't mean to be like "argh this data disagrees with my worldview therefore it is bad!", but lots of people have made complaints about the CPI not showing the full picture.

I dislike how CPI handles housing costs:
"If a unit is owner-occupied, the BLS computes what it would cost to rent that home in the current housing market."

This does not take into account quality of housing or things like closing costs or insurance payments.

CPI also does not factor in things like pensions or benefits. So we are unable to see what proportion of people's money they are spending on things like their 401(k) which potentially would have been paid for by employers in the past.

Education cost calculations are also not ideal:

"Various types of student financial aid are also considered for eligible colleges. Loans or other types of deferred tuition are not eligible for pricing. Charges for room and board and textbooks are covered elsewhere in the CPI sample."

And lastly, healthcare costs appear to not take into account deductibles:

"The CE tracks consumer out-of-pocket spending on medical care, which is used to weight the medical care indexes. CE defines out-of-pocket medical spending as:

patient payments made directly to retail establishments for medical goods and services;
health insurance premiums paid for by the consumer, including Medicare Part B; and
health insurance premiums deducted from employee paychecks."

I feel like I'm missing a key insight here. I understand the problem that regular softmax attention struggles to approach assigning zero attention to irrelevant stuff. And I get that having this subtraction formula makes it possible to assign exactly (or near) zero attention weight without having crazy outlier activations. But it seems like it also makes it very easy to have negative attention weight (which is equivalent to having positive attention weight on the negation of your value vectors). Intuitively, it just feels like a difficult balancing act to keep all the stuff you don't care about so close to zero.

But Figure 1 clearly shows that it works, so I don't doubt that it is in fact possible. I'm just struggling to build a picture of how exactly the network accomplishes this.

Missing from the graphics API list is WebGPU - which is not really just for the web. I've not used Metal, but from what I've heard, the API resembles Metal a good bit, which is a good thing since it's supposedly the nicest of the low-level graphics APIs (and having used both Vulkan and WebGPU, I definitely agree WebGPU has a way nicer API). The libraries backing WebGPU implementations in the browser can be used standalone (Dawn[1] is written in C++ and wgpu[2] in Rust), which means that they can be used on an otherwise native application that would have used some native graphics API.
