Easy trick to eliminate difficulties arising from pi: fix them via legislation [0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Pi_Bill

Is this article actually trying to talk about superintelligence? Or is this article just trying to make GPT look like AGI by taking AGI for granted?

What is the breakthrough? There is no mention of the problem solved, nor the accuracy of the quantum solution, nor the amount of classical computing resources needed for a non-quan…

Apart from being fun, this seems like a nifty way to gather a huge amount of data on attempts to prompt engineer LLMs.

I do get where you are coming from. Indeed, it makes little sense to use Julia for lots of machine learning when PyTorch and Jax are just so good. And it sounds like you don't want…

I'm eager to jump into a Lisp. Janet seems really tempting for tiny footprint, distributability etc. But I'm currently leaning towards to Racket just because it would be more or le…

Two big hurdles for ML: a) explainability b) accountability. ML-enhanced development neatly circumvents this: explainability and accountability is passed on to the developer. This …

Traditional chess engines excel at tactics. But most chess tactics are brute forceable, and traditional chess engines are normally brute force behemoths. Large language models have…

There is much more to generative models than building out language models and image models. Generative models are about characterising probability distributions. If you ever predic…

Are experienced devs really ditching Python for production systems? I wasn't under this impression.

You can specify which config to use while launching NeoVim with the -u flag.

You can argue that you read the questions first too, so you should give yourself the answer to querstion 1 as correct as well and have 99/100 overall

A rubric should be specified outside of the context of a specific question if it applies all questions.

I think this test is pretty ambiguous. If you answer all the questions after reading all of them, you could only get only question 100 wrong and get the other 99 correct, so reach …

You can fully embed Neovim into VSCode: https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim , which seems like it might work for you?

I started down the same path, but ended up somewhere else. I decided to allow myself as many extra features as I wanted with one caveat: all plugins had to be pure vimscript. Repro…

I used to use a Vimium-FF (a Firefox version). I love the better browsing ergonomics. But, after some thought, I realise that allowing such extension simply requires trusting a thi…

While I agree that academic fraud is a blight upon academia, this comment generalises over many thousands of academics. > _nobody_ cares about any of this. Universities don't care,…

> Still find it nuts you need to operate the system at 0 kelvin. I assume if we had super efficient cooling equipment (not LN2) we could also do superconductors on a small scale? N…

Apologies for making a more meta-comment. But I think the title of the post title should be the the paper title "Attention Is All You Need" as per the HN guidelines. "...please use…
