A lot of (probably valid) criticism in these comments. Personally I find the comparison between strange attractors and hermeneutics really fun. I imagine the self-similarity in interpretations could be attributed to something akin to the "universal human experience". It's like we're iterating the hermeneutic circle... Whether or not that is something Borges intended I suppose is up to interpretation!
The comparison to luxury goods is not really accurate here IMO. When you purchase a luxury watch you get something tangible in return. These apps purposely prey on psychological weaknesses to get people addicted - a better comparison would be something like phone call scams.
The Lutheran reformation was a political movement. And the spread of this movement was dependent on things like population density, economic potential and proximity to catholic institutions and influence. Conditions based on the above lead to adopting the heterodoxy. Not the other way around.
Contrary to this, what the article here is talking about is an intellectual exercise.
I doubt the average peasant was into schelling or fichte. Göethe had and continues to influence literature, poetry, etc. But shifting culture to be more self-oriented? Please. The largest social impact he had was the surge in suicides by teens inspired by young Werther.
Individuality and self-centric-philosophy is a consequence of financial independence. And if you think capitalism is to blame in this case, please visit Asia where individualism is still mostly stuck in the pre-revolutionary era.
There's not. The positional encodings are generated using sines and cosines such that any offset in position can be described as a linear function on the original position. Using the DFT here would not make sense as the positional encodings are fixed anyway and during inference this method generalizes nicely because of the geometric progression created by the arguments of the positional encoding functions.
I think it's because ext2 and ext4 both use block allocation in favor of paging thru bio and uses buffer tricks to write data in a way that reduces fragmentation
There has been research into common factors on the biomedical front. For example, the shank3 gene has been implicated in both ASD and Schizophrenia.

I'm not qualified to say whether or not these implicated commonalities affect this p-factor. It seems likely to me that disorders that affect identity, language, affect, etc. would have common features that could be passed down genetically.
I don't really agree with the opening paragraph here. We have seen numerous examples of GPT4 "reasoning" by what is essentially dumb metacognition. For example, when querying wolfram-alpha using the new plugin. GPT4 will correct itself if the query gave an inappropriate response or if the generated wolfram language code did not yield the desired output. And if the code doesn't work GPT4 will acknowledge this. Whether or not this "reflection" or "internal monologue" is intelligence is a different question. It's like the old meme about moving the goalpost of AI each time we accomplish something new.
One cool application of the discrete laplace operator is that we can use it to calculate the number of spanning trees of the graph by considering the determinants of the submatrices we get my removing 1 row and 1 column from the matrix!
Nothing pisses me off more than journals charging thousands for access. None of the money reaches the actual researchers and it only serves to reinforce public distrust in research
As far as I can discern, the Carter administration, much like its predecessor, was responsible for providing the most of the arms used during the East Timor genocide. However I don't believe that Carter supported Latin American dictators. He stopped all US arms sales to Argentina, for one.
