That's interesting. My brain does the same in terms of attempting to simulate that model of the people, but when it becomes impossible to run the algorithm (too large of a group), instead of just giving up, my brain goes into panic mode. I have found propranolol helps me with many of the physical symptoms that would otherwise dominate.

Very excellent point. One simple possibility I could imagine to mitigate this would be having an additional device/button one had to physically press in order for the thoughts to be vocalized. I think that would be an extremely simple but clear indication of intentionality.

From the study:

"It should be remarked that, in the majority of the cases, people adopting plant-based diets are more prone to engage in healthy lifestyles that include regular physical activity, reduction/avoidance of sugar-sweetened beverages, alcohol and tobacco, that, in association with previously mentioned modification of diet [62], lead to the reduction of the risk of ischemic heart disease and related mortality, and, to a lesser extent, of other CVDs."

"It has also been described that vegetarians, in addition to reduced meat intake, ate less refined grains, added fats, sweets, snacks foods, and caloric beverages than did nonvegetarians and had increased consumption of a wide variety of plant foods [65]. "

You are correct, that is an error in an otherwise great video. The k+1 token is not merely a function of the kth vector, but rather all prior vectors (combined using attention). There is nothing "special" about the kth vector.

I suspect in the near future there will be a number of cases where individuals will intentionally release a bunch of AI "chaff", in the sense that having a very large number of bad videos/texts about them, of which many are clearly false, will disguise the actual bad behavior. I'm not sure what term/phrase will be used for this particular tactic, but I am absolutely certain one will arise.

Why would RWKV have a particular advantage in this context? (I may be missing some key intuitions)

You have been shamelessly self-promoting your Hopf algebra/deep learning research on a very large percentage of posts I have seen on HN lately, to the degree that I actually felt the need to log in so as to be able to comment on it. Please. Stop.

Easy. Have a setting where someone can consent to (or not) receiving images that may potentially have nudity in them.

I have found the books System Design Interview (volumes 1 and 2), to be really nice and informative reading material on this topic.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but this seems like a way to calculate a mode, not a median.

So I just googled "differentiable Monte Carlo" and it looks like that concept has so far only been applied to ray tracing, but I would be shocked if that (or similar) doesn't become a thing in the next year or three, such that AlphaGo et al become end-to-end differentiable.

Thank you!

Completely agree! Plus, less trivially, there can be a bunch of different link weight settings (for an assumed distribution of inputs) that result in nearly-symmetric behaviors, and then that is multiplied by the permutation results you have just mentioned! So, it's complicated...

Here are some "animated" loss landscapes I made quite a long time ago:

These are related to recurrent neural networks evolved to maximize fitness whilst wandering through a randomly generated maze and picking up food pellets (the advantage being to remember not to revisit where you have already been.)
