When people from outside Europe started migrating to the USA? What a coincidence.

I don't understand this single dimensional view of the world where one country has to be the "winner" or "best". Historically that has almost never been the case except for military might, which wasn't necessar

Such articles about Europe always seem to ignore skilled immigration and pretend it's not important. Europe sucks at attracting skilled immigrants compared to the US, or even Canada. And the contributions of immigrant founders is well

What value does it provide over linking to the original source? Any website that constantly asks me to login is spammy in by book. It's a for profit website that adds little value other than duplicating information from primary sources

The original pre-print is available at: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-3647379/v1 which is probably a less spammy source than the ResearchGate link.

Well, the brain is a physical neural network, and evolution seems to have figured out how to generate a (somewhat) copiable model. I bet we could learn a trick or two from biology here.

I'm not clear on what advantage this architecture has over mamba/Griffin. They also have the linear scaling, better sequence parallelism and are competitive in performance with transformers.

On a slightly related note, does anyone know of good articles written about the false dichotomy of "East" vs "West"?

It's a bit clickbaity and disingenuous to say "employees in Asia", when South Korea comes in at the bottom, and the difference between Singapore and France/UK and the rest is just a few percentage points on a small sampl

Wow, the comments on Slashdot are such a train wreck. Didn't realise Slashdot had become so bad.

But it seems to miss the point that capitalism requires cheap resources and also markets, and the European countries got these resources at huge concessions from the colonies which also provided a market for them. For example the British us

No, I think the extraction of resources from the colonies created a lot of wealth in Europe. In fact, a very strong argument could be made that that's where our (euro-centric) belief in abundance comes from. Why the colonies were so ad

Very interesting and insightful article. But I always find it odd when historical articles omit the role of massive resource extraction from the colonies that provided the driving force in European economies to be able to convert all the id

Having lived in both the US and a couple of countries in the EU, one thing that struck me about living in the EU is how inwards looking and past facing the society is. And the general sense of European exceptionalism meant there was much le
