Thank you for comment. Knew little about the man himself. "I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane." This has to be experienced

Look, you are welcome to your 'opinion' but the q remains (given that there are only 2 choices here) as how pipeling is a form of "synchronous" communication. [p.s.]: pipelining is a kind of async comm because unlike t

That was not a description. I merely appended the primary motivation for pipelining. We trade latency for throughput in pipelining.* It's also not opinion. When pipelining, the communicating peers are not sychronizing their interac

Pipelining is a kind of asynchronous communication that we employ to maximize throughput.

But you're stuck in sort of meta duality yourself: you assert a distinction between reality and phenomena (such as consciousness). Did we actually -prove- that consciousness can not be a property of reality and is mere emergent phen

One can get a glimpse of the ever present One and its generations in modular mathematics. If we discard the insistence on numbers being simply a monotonically generated sequence (|, ||, |||, ..) which simply corresponds to counting, and i

You are correct and doing fine. The authority to check with is Kenneth Frampton and his Modern Architecture . He categorized Safdie as postmodern . I just checked and apparently my copy (some early 90s edition) is awol from the shelf an

I think the social concerns around attributing personhood to LLMs transcend ideological concerns.

by eternalban 3y ago
I suggest using 'form' instead of 'shape'; the latter is mainly concerned with external form . In context of LLMs, form would be the internal mapping, and shape the decoded text that is emitted.

You should quickly skim sections marked with a (comically fat) "!" symbol. These indicate their "key design choices and insights" in the design space.

MoMA closed for years , twice, in 21st century, as they expanded. Maybe they have something like MoMA QNS in mind for Centre. (The original MoMA was a minor gem and an oasis in midtown. I almost forgave Philip Johnson because of that gard

What is intriguing is that while French politics drove the project, it is entirely a British building plopped in the middle of Paris. It's a pity Jean Nouvel wasn't around then - his work* is great imo. This is a modern French

That conflates perception with perceiver. LLMs have only internalized [/encoded] our perceptions and expressions. From a model of the mind pov, the 'self' that we sense has an internal LLM-like tool . And it is that self tha

Definitely, should have mentioned that. However it is interesting that using temperature may lower the quality of the output and you may get a C and not the hoped for A+.

Listening to it now (thanks, +interesting). This is 1974 so predates the seminar for the OP book (1990) but it is definitely related. 'Thought as a system' is apparently Bohm's answer to the question of 'what is the root

Not clear how a rust "clone" fits into this. I wonder if people have tried pinning instances to cores and treating the ensemble as a host device bounded distributed variant. (just musing, haven't looked at Redis for ages.)
