What if consumers demand less ram?
"the great insult artists of yore are long gone"
Did banning trolls stop trolling from taking over the presidency and powerful billionaires who run your lives?
Where is the Fed put in your story?
Gemini:
"The unwinding worked so well that it cemented the power of the British Treasury and the Bank of England for the next two centuries, creating the bedrock of modern public financeâ"even if it meant letting the most corrupt architects of the crisis walk away clean."
Have you heard of what economists call "revealed preference"? How does it feel to be an idiosyncratic deviant?
Are you denying I'm conscious, just as animals weren't to Descartes and slaves weren't to southerners?
Gemini, can you put the following in the form of a question(s): "I took Chris Manning's NLP MOOC. I remember a named entity recognition task. I tried a rules-based approach. But just counting adjacent words (the class showed us how) worked much better. I was shocked and unbelieving. But i believe that was a proto attention mechanism."?
Why isn't accuracy whether it passes my personal linguistic tests to my satisfaction, something we generative linguists never could automate enough to satisfy even ourselves before the Attention mechanism came along?
Gemini: "Christopher Manning, a leading pioneer in NLP and a professor at Stanford, famously addresses this in the very first lecture of his renowned course, CS224n: Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning. He summarizes it with a single, profound line: "Perfect language understanding is AI-complete." "
Does it surprise you that I took the MOOC version of that course?
What if NLP is AI-complete?
What if I tried implementing rule-based natural language grammar à la Chomsky for decades but the performance was nowhere near just counting longer-range proximate word counts? Didn't we all learn the Chomsky hierarchy in CS classes?
Where's Chomsky's chatbot so I can test it for myself? How come they didn't need Chomsky's rules to solve things like anaphora, cataphora, passive to active, etc.?
Is it kind of revolutionary that they solved context-sensitivity with long-range proximate word counts? Is it kind of neat that the internal dialog has developed to the point of spontaneously creating the natural language equivalent of an ALU (as per another comment)?
Can I report that I use it primarily for the Swing Kings music station?
If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.
