This paper is honestly fairly weak, if you look at it closely. The theoretical justifications rely heavily on approximating attention with linear attention, and really just show that linear attention …
comment
I agree with you (although I think one should be upset about this, and you seemed to imply that you disagree with the "systemic racism people"). This would directly penalize endangered langu…
comment
I've seen this hyped a lot on Reddit, and its main contributing base seems to be on a Discord channel, but have yet to see any scholarly discussion behind it. Is there a reason the creator hasn…
comment
In what ways would you say its awkward? I'm really curious about its performance in languages that might not have shown up in its training data much. I will say, I've tried using it with a d…

If I understand correctly, ChatGPT Plus only gives you access to GPT-4 in the online chat interface, not through the API.

I personally think this is important completely aside from any cultural propriety/censoring, as it's the one of the only parts of AI ethics that we can currently directly work on and test. I…

> The concept of factuality doesn't exist in the model at all. This is an example of a whole range of beliefs about LLMs that are very common (even in the field itself), because they were obvi…

So, tax fraud?

I'd read it, if so!

You seem to have described my home schooling experience to a T. It really was a wonderful way to learn and interact with expert adults in my community. I had a lot of good role models and mentors that…

If you think the distribution of disinformation is uniform across both sides, you've also been brainwashed good. There is plenty of peer-reviewed research on this, but here are two that I found a…
comment
But then you open yourself up entirely to being manipulated by the website owners. The Russian government has enough resources to artificially push their SEO way higher than it should be, and it'…

This is the real reason they received so few donations. I've only ever donated to them through Brave's Attention Tokens [1], so I never realized they use BitPay, but it really is intrusive. …

This is fairly useless nitpicking in this context – he's talking about a non-native English speaker, who has learned English to the point that her accent is nearly indistinguishable from some n…

The previously existing solution?

The key is that they're not linking remote content – they copied the content of the tweets into their websites' code, and then used Twitter's JS to render it. I.e., it used to be a pure…

Untrue! I've been monitoring you for some years now, and just last month got up enough evidence to bring to the FCC, so that they could revoke your human-impersonation license. Now I have your wr…

There is so, so much research showing that night-shift and living out of sync with one's circadian rhythm literally shortens your life. It weakens your immune system, increases your chance of car…

As much as I love saffron, and thus wouldn't mind if it were proven to have health benefits, this is definitely not science that inspires confidence...
comment
I'm extremely surprised to see `chr` and `ord` in the "You likely don't need these" section, and that the author has "never really found a use for them in [his] code". I …

I have also seen better performance on Minecraft on Linux
comment
But isn't this fundamentally better than the current privacy-destroying ad-tracker hellscape we live in? Sure, some of us can use adblockers, but that won't work if everyone starts using the…

I did essentially this in vim once – although I made it a little more "user friendly" with vim macros' ability to both call and modify themselves, so it would stop itself if the Turing …
comment
Brave is amazing for encouraging wide-spread use of privacy tools. It's so easy to get my family and friends to use, and does a lot to improve security, privacy and quality of life, even for the …

YaCy [1] already exists, but I've never tried it. I've been wanting to set it up (locally at first, not participating in the decentralized network, unless I really like it) to crawl only sit…
