Any ideas how these interactive animated diagrams were made?

Small refinement: the underlying model isn’t stochastic at all. The forward pass is a deterministic function of the weights and input, it just produces a probability distribution over the next token. The stochasticity is an optional sampling step layered on top, not something inherent to LLMs. Greedy/argmax decoding (or temperature 0) makes the whole thing deterministic.

So “purely stochastic” overstates it a bit: the distribution is computed deterministically, and you choose whether to sample from it or not.

What's in the SpaceX Files and why aren't they already public?

Maybe dumb question but how do I just take a sat image and create the scene? The scripts in the repo are all about training which I assume requires you to have the 3d data too.

These sort of projects always look cool but I think the real "wow factor" would be a file upload where you can see the result on your image. I assume there are reasons why this isn't done.

Is there anyone monitoring US government websites for deletion of pages beyond what people may notice in an ad hoc way? I feel like this should be automated.
