>I found this part to be the most interesting. If this current proclamation is a prelude to the overhaul of H1B system in a way that would make it work like described above, then i…

I seem to find myself in the minority, but I don't think distill.pub is a particularly ideal model for publicizing research. distill.pub heavily favors fancy and interactive visual…

How is that draconian? If you're issued a stay-home notice, STAY AT HOME.

Excuse me - what "draconian quarantine laws"?

One is a language generation model, the other is a fill-in-the-blank model. It sounds like they might be similar, but in practice they are different enough objectives (and in parti…

Those are question-answering and language-understanding benchmarks respectively, neither of which has been suitable for language generation mode evaluation since GPT-1 was roundly …

Is that essentially repeating the position embedding? I'm surprised that works, since the model should have no way to distinguish between the (e.g.) 1st and 513th token. (If I'm un…

How are you using GPT-2 with an expanded context window? I was under the impression that the maximum context window was fixed.

My counter-arguments (as a huge PyTorch fan) are: 1. GPT hasn't really been about model/architectural experimentation, just scale. GPT-2 and GPT were architecturally very similar. …

Minimum=/=lowest effort. Especially with the caveat of "with a programming background", it is far easier to reason and debug through PyTorch with just Python knowledge, compared to…

Besides vocabulary/characters, in what sense is Mandarin not simple?

Yes, the Reformer is basically trading off noisier for faster training / memory savings.

You keep insisting that they're the same when they're not, and then you try to subtly expand your original claim of "using less memory by hashing" to "to be more memory and compute…

This sounds like some sort of perverse inverse of "This is good for bitcoin." Making progress of NLP benchmarks? Must be a sign that we're moving even closer to an even longer and …

How is it like linear regression, considering linear regression has a closed-form solution, and even if you're using an iterative solver, is a convex problem.

The quick answer to your broader question is that there are multiple ways of slicing how GDP is computed, and yes, economists are aware of them and have thought through the edge-ca…

> This and other discussions on HN make me think on the fact that so much of your voice has been recorded by companies when you call their support lines. Are these troves of voice …
