As a public proof of P34, this is bullshit. The headline claim rests on missing code, hidden notebook state, inconsistent published numbers, and no reproducible environment.
We're thrilled to announce the launch of AST-1, an innovative language model that uses an advanced attention mechanism to produce coherent and contextually relevant text while efficiently handling computational and memory requirements.
The key to AST-1's success is its novel RNN attention mechanism. Unlike traditional methods, RNN attention lets the model dynamically focus on different parts of the input sequence, resulting in more natural-sounding text and the ability to handle long input sequences.
AST-1's architecture is carefully designed for optimal performance and the model parameters are fine-tuned for efficiency and accuracy. Plus, its training process enables it to handle a range of natural language tasks, from sentiment analysis to machine translation.
We believe that AST-1 represents a significant milestone in language model development and invite you to try it out for yourself. Discover the power of AST-1 today and let us know your thoughts!
I'm working on this problem since the past year, and certainly it can scale to a wide more people and have very interesting byproduct (like carbon capture).
Contact with me if you are interested in learn more.
I'm working on this direction, with an very specific seaweed that solve this problem now and doesn't need freshwater or fertilizers. If anyone is interested reach me on my profile.
> In university (which I paid for myself through internships + loans)
So you got a loan that your family backed and you were able to work as an intern in various places. You also went to a prestigious university. You were a privileged 1% and after entering YC you are part of the 0.1%. This would not have happened if you had been born in Namibia.
My complaint is that by using the leverage of the 0.1% you try to convince the 99,9% that: if you work, think and play hard you can achive your dreams. This is no longer the case. Maybe it was like that 10 or 15 or 35 years ago. Today the wealth difference and inequality is abysmal because of the network effects. So basically you don't need to be good or bad business, you just leverage your network and keep going.
> I guarantee you if you build a product w/ a high growth rate or engagement, VC will be kicking down your door to give you money.
Why I need a VC then? Did you understand why the Venture Capital industry was created in the first place on the United States in the 60's? If I have a working product with high rate and cashflow, I just use the private debt markets and keep going and expanding. We are not talking about that.
