When people claim that transformers are alien black boxes, don't believe them. This is a clear explanation of how transformers work. construction-physics.com/p/the-birth-of…

tech bros stop being embarrassed by your identity, your vocabulary, your mathematical heritage. say orthogonal, insert “global minima” into every sentence

In preparation for my twenty-hour flight, I have systematically downloaded every single paper I need to read, thus making sure I can maximize my feeling of guilt while I instead binge-watch all the blockbusters available on the plane

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made

Poll question from my 12yo: Everyone responding to this poll chooses between a blue pill or red pill. - if > 50% of ppl choose blue pill, everyone lives - if not, red pills live and blue pills die Which do you choose?

ok, one final poll. There is a room-sized blender that kills everyone who steps into it. But, if 50% or more of the people answering this poll step into the blender, there will be too much resistance and it will fail to start and everyone who steps in will be fine.

my dad was helping me with linear algebra once and he said “you can use anything for a vector space. you can make a vector space with cows as long as you define what a ‘negative cow’ would be” then i started crying cause that made it worse

The #NeurIPS2023 NeurIPS Conference work of Sebastian Tay chuan-sheng daisuke richalynn proposes a no-regret #BayesianOptimization algo. where in each iter., it chooses a subset of query variables & specifies their values (with an associated cost) while the rest are randomly sampled.

You might have heard that word2vec, test of time award winner at #NeurIPS2023, was rejected from #ICLR2013 back in the day. Interestingly, one reviewer felt so strongly that they recommended "Strong Reject" four times.
