[R] Biologically-inspired architecture with simple mechanisms shows strong long-range memory (O(n) complexity)
The post discusses a new sequence modeling architecture inspired by biological principles, which shows strong long-range memory capabilities with O(n) complexity. The author shares preliminary results on various tasks, highlighting the architecture's simplicity and potential for improvement with further tuning. They seek feedback on additional tasks to evaluate the architecture's performance, particularly in areas requiring strong long-term memory.
China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech
Chinese scientists have developed a new type of flash memory that is 10,000 times faster than current technology, potentially revolutionizing data storage and processing speeds.
Why do people expect the AI/tech billionaires to provide UBI?
The post critiques the expectation that AI and tech billionaires will provide Universal Basic Income (UBI) as jobs are displaced by automation. The author argues that these billionaires prioritize their wealth and privileges over the welfare of displaced workers, citing their investments in bunkers and farmland as evidence of their disregard for societal issues. The post suggests that billionaires would prefer an apocalyptic scenario over equitable wealth distribution, challenging the naive belief that they will willingly support UBI.
Damned near pissed myself at o3's literal Math Lady
The post humorously discusses a moment involving OpenAI's model, referred to as 'o3', and its interpretation of a character known as the 'Math Lady', which elicited a strong reaction from the user.
I almost never thought this day would come...
The post expresses excitement about a significant milestone being reached, likely related to the release or development of a new AI model, as indicated by the link to Hugging Face.
China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech
Chinese scientists have developed a new type of flash memory that is 10,000 times faster than current technology.
"I stopped using 3.7 because it cannot be trusted not to hack solutions to tests"
The user expresses their decision to stop using version 3.7 of a tool, citing concerns that it cannot be trusted to provide reliable solutions for tests.
Citations have gone bad
The post discusses concerns about the reliability of citations in Perplexity, noting that recent changes have made it difficult to verify information sources. Users previously could see specific locations within papers, but now only the paper title is shown, leading to trust issues for academic work.
