I had a (slightly silly) go at tackling this problem via a secure mapping and language-model reranking according to probability of text under urban dictionary - there is a detailed description here if you're curious: (pdf-link) https:

Has anyone got a solid anki deck for probability and linear algebra?

It probably is - I live in London with a spectrum of housemates from about the place and the needed "Alexa voice" is basically RP if you want it to work at all.

Well now I really want to see the projected SPARC reactor on that plot. Does anyone have the necessary familiarity to add it?

Do you think this is unilaterally true?

The reason the northern line (on the tube) is so hot is due to 2decade+ of heat building up in the surrounding rock. Not the same dynamics because of convection in water, etc, but an interesting and very real example of how local buildup of

You might be interested in RTRL (real time recurrent learning).

I don't think it's too unlikely that the cost of producing the CGI for a film like "The Avengers" could go from ~1e7 USD to ~1e3 USD over the next ~10 years. Seems like that could have some creative uses.

This is extraordinarily dystopian.

Whether homeopathy works (it doesn't) doesn't have a huge amount of bearing on whether homeopaths compete in the market with physicians (they do), because their customers are seeking the same thing.

There are organisations that go to some length to assess which charities give you the most "bang for your buck". GiveWell is the one that I am most familiar with, which reccomends the AMF, amongst other organisations. Donations th

This is not true, BPE can back off to characters so arbitrarily character strings can be generated.

This isn't true, sampling can produce novel output (and often does).

There is a silly section on the definition of the word, but it's worth pressing past that to read the rest of the document. The core content is really interesting! (Overall the whole thing is badly written and presented, imo. Many numb

Wrg to your reference: One wonders why the "modest tweaks" weren't used in the original paper - indeed because they weren't known or weren't possible. The way you should interpet these meta-analysis is "researc

I'm likely biased because I spend some of my time doing perception research, but I find the "advanced sensors are necessary" argument so odd. We have clear evidence from humans that you don't need them. I expect we'

Top tier tech is competitive with finance in London (FB/goog/DM/palantir/apple) and probably less work than equivalent technical finance roles (Jane Street, 2sigma, GR etc). But things if you're in the top 20% of yo

Personal experience with this: I find a lot of AI articles to be low-quality, so I read the first paragraph, thought "whatever mate" and fast-scrolled looking for samples. Hit the bottom, read message, re-read critically. So, I di

There is nothing about gpt3 tuned towards the Turing test. It's a language model that predicts the most likely next word given the preceding context. Further, we're actually astonishingly close, imo. Given current sota, if you ask

It's a guns issue, surely? Not got the exact stats but for 2019 I think police killings in the UK ~3 and US ~1000, with only a 5x difference in population. I'm a well spoken law abiding white guy and American cops frighten me. ht

America is also incredibly wealthy in terms of mean disposable income - irrc about 45% higher than the UK for example, with a substantially larger population.

You misunderstand critically that this is not "singing along", it's generating the music and voice. Conditioning on lyrics is optional, and done "unaligned", eg by arbitrarily encoding the lyrics and passing them as

Would be intrigued to see what the story is like with priors on the parameters and a credible interval on the output.
