Diffusion model for language means you’re no longer predicting the next tokens but filling words throughout the entire text space. Here it naturally starts with overall structuration ("Firstly", "Lastly").

I remember when those two papers came out — I like them but saying that there is a „prompt engineer” described there in 2015 is one hell of an interpretation…

They basically did pretty normal stuff, like monetary policy reform (no dollarization nonsense) and so far their “success” is getting to kind of Turkey-level economy, so not a particularly stunning result. To me especially interesting was that he pointed out how removing rent control *lowered* rents

To counter that point a bit: South Korea still has that whole “Samsung dynasty” thing going on, so I’m not sure if I can see it as a particularly good example of rule of law (there were even some pardons related to some of those machinations, if memory serves me well.)

Negative consequences kind of don’t matter if they don’t actually materialize and so far he’s had quite a lot of room for myopic moves. That him and his cronies are not effective doesn’t mean they have *zero* effectiveness.

Does it? Generally without an inside source it’s difficult to judge anyone’s mind unless they do something very clearly wrong. Ineffective action is observable, intent is latent. Strictly speaking, the latter is often, sadly,only provable long after the event itself, when enough evidence is gathered

However, blanket use of this rule allows actors with ill-intent to pretend incompetence, which generally earns less ire than something morally reprehensible. “Never” is something that never really holds.

I guess the simple, abstract visualization that Rimworld gives allows for our imagination to add a lot.

Or more precisely, you’d be happiest being an ethereal presence guiding other’s lives, without having to suffer any material consequences of your (or theirs) decisions. Yeah, being free from material conditions would make me pretty happy for sure.

“Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun bought…” explains a lot here. Maybe he should save it as the last meal to eat before going to jail.

But even before Musk’s takeover Twitter didn’t have an exactly rosy future — it was always a kind of faltering social network. You could even argue that this kind of Musk-end scenario was quite expected to happen, it was either radical improvement or drastic degradation.

He’s going to spearhead the education (de)reform.

But that’s also the point, the website is an archive of information, including incriminating evidence. Which in case of Twitter was actually quite a trove of data about various unsavory individuals on the US political scene.

It does utilize rule-based augmentations, like rotations and flips, which are dataset-specific (and were the most significant factor in fact.) That also makes it look like there is a lot to be gained from improving perceptual performance, not necessarily reasoning quality.

Except there was [1] and what we saw in the ballots was more of an “unreality,” but of course there we have Sanders just regurgitating trite Left™ remarks without any effort to produce actual nuanced insight, based on contemporary phenomena, not textbook theorizing.

hm, I guess it is true that it can normalize “decentralized” as some property that is not as exotic as usually thought as and make people (devs) more comfortable with working with such tech.

Ideally, they do indeed turn out to not ever use blockchain, which would be quite a shot in the foot for Blockchain Capital — if building a big platform implementing decentralization without any blockchain involvement doesn’t kill their raison d’être, I don’t know what does...
