I'd love to hear the opinion of someone who has really good knowledge and experience of how byte-pair encoding works in models like these. I think I agree with you that in theory it should be able to build a phonology from the amount o

The structure of reddit really works well for preventing shilling from being a fatal problem. Namespaces moderated by genuine enthsuasists gain more users, and even if they are infiltrated, there is this constant evaluation of subreddits an

I could not agree more with you. Do you have any tips for other places? Even any good subreddits? The only way I can find the old energy now is certain twitter hubs, but I suspect there is a lot on discord. And on the topic of the post: &qu

Some of his writing in this reminds me a lot of David Foster Wallace (who is mentioned), in particular the way he is deeply concerned with seeming humble but feeling egotistical: self-consciously projecting humility but being aware of the h

The article sets up a bit of a straw man (or maybe a motte-and-bailey) I think, because it says "all mammal brains (and most likely, all vertebrate brains as well) are built from a single manufacturing plan using the same kinds of neur
