Notably, out of an abudance of caution, the Google team chose to “publish” its result via a cryptographic zero-knowledge proof that their circuit exists (so, without revealing the details to attackers). This is the first time I’ve ever seen a new mathematical result actually announced that way, although I understand that there’s precedent in the 1500’s, when mathematicians would (for example) prove their ability to solve quartic equations by challenging their rivals to duels. I’m not sure how much it will actually help, as once other groups know that a smaller circuit exists, it might be only a short time until they’re able to find it as well.

In general anti-thing personalities tend to be more deranged than pro-thing personalities. Always better to orient around pro-thing

Reader + AI app | The Marginal Revolution Generative Book | Tyler Cowen Free reader and integrated AI companion for The Marginal Revolution: Rise and Decline, and the Pending AI Revolution

A book designed to be read with an AI. I enjoy the approach. One of the default options when highlighting a section is "find flaws in this argument". Love it.

This feels like it does a similar thing to softmax1 , i.e. allows tokens to not attend to anything (by attending to itself)

It is like with congestion pricing. Even if you burn the money it would still be more efficient.

Tbh, it wouldn't matter that much. The point is more to incentivize nicer behavior and less spam. But I suppose like money can go to the author, and tweet money goes to server maintenance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Getting dangerously close to actually talking about what I do here, but the boring answer here is kind of frustrating in a lot of policy related research on immigration because we endlessly look for policy related tweaks when there’s a giant neon sign with LET PEOPLE WORK floating overhead
