Well, with thinking models, it’s not that simple. The probability distribution is next token. But if a model thinks to produce an answer, you can have a high confidence next token …

Canada has no domestic automaker and US automakers, under pressure from Trump, are closing some factories in Canada & relocating production to the US. Yes, the Canadian auto indust…

Presumably a lot less expensive than pumped hydro to build.

The actual title is pretty buzzy given how limited the task described is. In one specific, very constrained and artificial task, you can find something like detailed balance. And e…

No, I still don’t understand the analogy. All of this burn-in stuff is designed to get your Markov chain to forget where it started. But I don’t want to get from “how many apples d…

I don't understand the analogy. If I'm using an MCMC algorithm to sample a probability distribution, I need to wait for my Markov chain to converge to a stationary distribution bef…

I used to be befuddled by this too. Then I lived in the U.S. for a few years. I think the answer is that the democrats are shockingly bad too, in many parts of the US. People expec…

Guessing you’re a physicist based on the name. You don’t think automatically doing RG flow in reverse has beauty to it? There’s a lot of “force” in statistics, but that force relie…

I quit Julia after running into serious bugs in basic CSV package functionality a few years back. The language is elegant, intuitive and achieves what it promises 99% of the time, …

FOAG is probably the shortest readable introduction to serious algebraic geometry anyone has written. That's the nature of algebraic geometry.

Yes, Schrodinger’s equation is entirely deterministic. There is no randomness inherent in quantum mechanics. The perceived randomness only arises when we have incomplete informatio…
