@lougrims besides the fact that the thermal system is a challenge and that cosmic rays would eat into VRAM like termites, the bottom line is that token generation satellites have limited value and maintenance reqs, which ironically takes a hs education to understand

[Austin Prevette @InfoTheGamer]

@Robotbeat so almost 10x SC HCF life, increases cycles required to NDE proportionally, so less teardown and more resilience? It's worth it for anything aerospace but yea maybe PC for a data center.

but like the obvious power choice for that is solar anyways fwiw

[Austin Prevette @InfoTheGamer]

@GrumpyOpa @hyprturing not sure what you mean, but single crystals are definitely worth the performance boost and HCF stress resilience. typically you'd have to NDE with radiography since it's a complex assembly anyways, so cheaper over the lifespan to build single crystal

@e_snider64119 @hyprturing this is either gr8 b8 or some of the creme de la creme of AI engineers, just completely oblivious to the reality of anything

@snwy_me @CantEverDie attention is not purely discriminative. dot products are computed for all pairs of info, only becoming discriminative if we build a decoder. GSM-Symbolic showed that a model of a human reasoning chain =/= actual human reasoning.

[Austin Prevette @InfoTheGamer]

@snwy_me @CantEverDie an autoregressive model is not a discriminator. a generator can produce samples X ~ p(x), which while seemingly intelligent, is only an approximation of the distribution of human language. human collective *is* the language dist.

@snwy_me @CantEverDie transformers, however good they are at pattern replication, are not intelligent. I think we can agree that they are powerful and useful in some contexts. but they will never have conscious ability to reject or accept information like a real intelligent being.

[Austin Prevette @InfoTheGamer]

@snwy_me @CantEverDie op's idea stands. you "think" they are intelligent because you see "emergent" (yet impressive) pattern replication in human language. these networks fail at being actually intelligent: https://t.co/3uN7yJyEDk

[Austin Prevette @InfoTheGamer]

@snwy_me @CantEverDie mice are incredibly intelligent, and it's not because they've memorized their world. they have emotions, understanding of gravity, of patterns. they can reject new information as well. xformers are forced to build a context window of everything, they have no choice.

[Austin Prevette @InfoTheGamer]

@snwy_me @CantEverDie lol I would argue almost all humans understand the world. and the idea that O(n^2) attn is how you can understand the world is a fundamental misunderstanding of real intelligent brains, which are graph structures. at their root, xformers are not complex, but real neurons are

[Austin Prevette @InfoTheGamer]

@snwy_me @CantEverDie latent space self attention is NOT even close to how human brains store information. I'm of Yann LeCun's belief that while transformers are useful next token predictors, they do not fundamentally understand the world like even a mouse can. thus they are not intelligent.

[National Weather Service @NWS]

Take this storm seriously, folks.

Moderate to major impacts are expected from the Central US through to the Northeast today through the weekend.
- Hazardous to impossible driving conditions are expected. Avoid travel if at all possible.
- Widespread closures and disruption to infrastructure may also occur.

Stay weather aware and up to date on the latest alerts and weather conditions by following your local national weather service office on social media or checking https://t.co/qk3BcVP5M8.

@hasanthehun main topic notwithstanding, one of Andrew's tenets is that clip channels ragefarming with low-hanging fruit are part of the US political & intellectual spiral. the full c5 interview shows nick is in the wrong, but the 2nd round of clipfarming sure aint gonna fix anything
