Oh, you're talking about using the forward gradient method. This still does not make much sense because if the projection of the gradient in that direction is zero or near zero, that is a very weak step in reducing the loss.

I believe what you are describing is grid search, not gradient descent. Gradient descent is not an exhaustive search.

I agree, in expectation, the orthogonal directions cancel out. But the variance does not cancel out. Are you using some sort of momentum-like optimizer?

> The more dimensions, the simpler the surface. With enough dimensionality, everything is a straight line. Even assuming this statement were true (which is a big if). That does not explain how it would outperform gradient descent.

That does not make sense, can you expand? The steepest descent direction is far more useful than a random direction in high dimensions because that random direction has a greater chance of being nearly orthogonal to the steepest descent d

Can a viable business be made around targets/victims sending their phishing attacks to a reverse engineering lab? The more valuable the target, the more likely an unknown and valuable exploit might be surfaced. As a consequence, this i

"Air tag" like trackers on decoy packages mixed in might be a cheap solution to this issue.

Agree that the reddit is more relevant to me because it has multiple perspectives in a discussion format, but I don't see any particularly bad links with the first search. The first one just has more conventional review sites like Good

Can someone provide some explicit search queries so we can see the bad examples? Lots of criticism is being doled out in that thread without an actual example to see for myself.

Transformers subverting convolution on their own turf (vision) was certainly unexpected.

Why is there a culture of hiding cap tables in the first place? Seems like some incentive structures need to be fixed before a transparent cap table is adopted.

This is the thing I do not fully understand about crypto and more specifically Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is successful, it will inevitably create a tiny group of super-wealthy early adopters amongst everyone else and we are back to the same rigge

What's the market Graphcore is going for here? Even their own performance releases are not really favorable over nvidia's current offerings. This is definitely not enough to justify the risk of moving to a new hardware/softwa

Housing should have never been considered an investment. It is a basic need. If that basic need becomes an investment, it is by definition going to become less affordable to those who do not hold it in the future. If you consider it an inve
