    I didn't see any of the specific job titles you mentioned on the career site. Perhaps this is part of the "antedisciplinary" method you refer to? Practically speaking though, shoul…

    PSA... check out this guy's LinkedIn profile. It's a great read.

    I think that is why he asked the rhetorical "which masks?".

    There are a couple starting points you could take. I spent a weekend hacking out a program that generates fake word/definition pairs with a transformer model set against a dictiona…

    Let me take a stab at this (I'll maybe take it halfway there). First of all we want to know what kind of matrix we are talking about. Imagine that you have a whole bunch generative…

    +1 on the whole references as a nice introduction. I think the authors overstate the preparation of their hypothetical "pedestrian" (either that or they need to get away from the p…

    I have been using the phrase "Artificial Stupidity" as well, but with the opposite meaning. Specifically I like to think of human-like artificial stupidity as a challenge for machi…

    This would be the opposite of a Turing test though, since most people wouldn't be able to do this.

    I can imagine a variant of this card that tries to tackle the point you bring up. Not all purchases are equal. Some of them have negative carbon footprints. The tree planting offse…

    It seems to me that they are basically describing a variational formulation of the "optimization perspective" of reinforcement learning, which is cool, but I am confused... where i…

    FYI this is the _first_ call which is dominated by the JIT process. So not really "this time to plot" so much as the "time to compile". Calls to the resulting jitted function will …

    > we shouldn’t just be ranking people by age, if we want to come to moral outcomes? Agreed. But I think quantifications can still be useful. Person-years probably aren't the right …

    How is it speculative? The background does not always allow for the discrimination to be made but in the random sample of ~20 faces I looked it was the main factor in maybe 1/4 of …

    Came here to pretty much write these same notes. The fact that you need to know the spectrum of all the minors really limits the usefulness for solving general eigen* problems. But…

    FYI you need to type something into the "Secrete message" and ask to "Encrypt" using the prepopulated "LM context". Both the context and secrete message change the encrypted messag…

    It's probably too hard to answer the general question about "how to gain math intuition". Mathematics is just too vast. However, you have written > I think when I took physics it r…

    Stupid question... Are there equivalent (in the sense of being fast and having nice interfaces) solvers for #SAT problems? A whole pile of inference in machine learning can be fram…

    > Absolutely useless Not at all. To say "we don't know" might mean that we don't know the order of magnitude. Order of magnitude estimates to the first or second decimal place are …

    Honest question from a less than A1 level Russian student... Is there really a significant difference between the two? I have no doubt that there is different vocabulary etc. and o…

    Just FYI as noted above, 0.7 is the harbinger of 1.0. It is functionally equivalent to 1.0 except deprecation warning, serving essentially as a migration version. So while not out …
