My life just changed forever too...

today is the day i stopped reading opinion pieces from the technologyreview. not for presenting an opinion i don’t agree with, but for mistaking word soup for an argument.

ah I see what you mean, sorry it took me a while. Yes, you're right, the two are dual: "fix complexity budget then optimize data error", and "fix data error budget then optimize cx…

Right, but see how the complexity budget is prescribed ahead of time: we first set the regularization strength or whatever, and then optimize the model. The result is the best mode…

I agree with your observation about the exact noise-free nature of the problem. It allows them to formulate the problem as "minimize complexity such that you memorize the X-y relat…

I'm trying to distill the essence of their approach, which imho is concealed behind inessential and particular details such as the choice of this or that compression scheme or prio…

Bingotry (n. uncount.) /ˈbɪŋɡətɹi/ 1. The futile attempt by Microsoft to equip their search engine with artificial intelligence. See also: Bing (Microsoft search engine), Try (v.).…

Not exponentially, just inverse-quadratically :)

Here's GPT's own explanation what the purpose of that while loop is: --- This code uses JavaScript's `eval` function to obfuscate the code by looping over an array of strings and p…

I shall learn from this post how to disagree respectfully on the internet. Hats off.

I wonder how a modern language model would fare here -- use something like GPT-3 to evaluate the log likelihood gain of stitching together each of all N^2 possible pairs, then merg…

as someone with a degree in math, this is the funniest thing I read in a while.

I still don't understand why this ME feature has been created to begin with. Assuming that breaking it is a matter of time (someone clever enough thinking about it for long enough)…
