    LLMs applying the ideas to problems I'm trying to solve is exactly what I said I wasn't interested in, actually. Because the LLM doing this for me reduces back to me simply reading…

    I believe D. A. Jimenez and C. Lin, "Dynamic branch prediction with perceptrons" is the paper which introduced the idea. It's been significantly refined since and I'm not too famil…

    Looking at how no samples other than the 3 samples in the "Long horizon memory" section have any camera movement which puts something offscreen and then back onscreen, it certainly…

    But how do you analyze the policies without doing science? Nothing in the above is sound to me. "The proposed policies in the US all dramatically increase the cost of energy" - why…

    One application I like is the use of the Seifert-van Kampen theorem to prove that the fundamental group of the circle (S^1) is isomorphic to Z. While category theory is not strictl…
