I think RCP is the Avakian cult, isn't that just a US thing? But they're different from RCA.

Per RNN on Telegram, Hezbollah has claimed to have sent at least 2 drones towards the north of Tel Aviv, but have not yet announced the targets, or perhaps if they were successful. There will possibly be an announcement later today.

They're hindering Americans' return to Earth, too, actually

Well, yeah, but perhaps that implies they don't know who the actual communists are, so they will still target the "commie" demonrats

AI/ML research has long been notorious for choosing bullshit benchmarks that make your approach look good, and then nobody ever uses it because it's not actually that good in practice.

It's totally possible that there will be legitimate NLP use-cases where this approach makes sense, but that is almost entirely separate from the current LLM craze. Also, transformer-based LLMs pretty much entirely supplanted recurrent networks as early as like 2018 in basically every NLP task. So even if the semiconductor industry massively reoriented to producing chips that support "MatMul-free" models like this one to even get an energy reduction, that would still mean that the model outputs would be even more garbage than they already are.

I'm highly skeptical of this at first glance. Replacing self-attention with gated recurrent units seems like a decisive step back in natural language processing capabilities. The advancement that gave rise to LLMs in the first place was when people realized that building networks out of a bunch of self-attention blocks instead of recurrent units like GRU or LSTM was extremely effective.

In short, they are proposing an older type of model which are generally outclassed by attention-based transformers that power all the LLMs we see today. I doubt it will be able to achieve nearly as good results as existing LLMs. I foresee this type of research being used to silence criticisms of the ungodly amounts of energy used by LLMs to say "See, people are working on making them way more efficient! Any day now..." Meanwhile they will never come to fruition.

The strike was aimed at a target in occupied Palestine, seems appropriate.

Isn't the FLG headquarters compound in like upstate NY or something

I personally reject the notion that a just and equitable future can only be built on a pile of corpses.

Ok, then how?

Hey dumbass, headlines follow different style practices. The same conventions of grammar do not apply.

Then:

We have to bring civilization to those savages!

Now:

We have to bring democracy to those terrorists!
