@CatherineFlick@mastodon.me.uk This reminds of when (a long time ago) my young niece made a styrofoam replica of a camera for some school project. It was great, but we could not figure out what one square hole was. "That's the USB port, dummy!"😂

@xkuzinx@mastodon.social Por que no los dos?

I spend a lot of time on both.

Mastodon/Fediverse is much larger and has a lot of academic content I follow, while Nostr has a small community of...mostly the people building Nostr.

It's pretty raw but gives you complete ownership of your digital identity and posts, minus any algorithm that promotes or restricts others.

It's up to you to decide who you want to listen to, you can't get cancelled, but nobody is forced to listen to your BS if they don't want.

@davidbau Minsky69 was so notorious that was the earliest one I could think of.

@davidbau I think intuitively adding depth allows individual layers to "not work as hard" and specialize, possibly avoiding the issues raised there. Your recent paper on editing transformers, revealing knowledge is stored in MLPs and recall in attention layers, is in line with this. /handwave

@takosix@famichiki.jp I'm happy to be the *that* guy who always says "I don't even own a TV."

For over 30 years now.

The last bit (or things similar to it) have started popping up in #microsoft #copilot responses recently. It looks like something out of the RLHF process. And when I ask it what the last thing it said to me was, it responds with the last sentence of the response, before this.

Dunno if it means anything, though. #llm
