Scaling laws vs individual differences: “It is possible that humans are at a point on the scaling law where the density of tasks that can be solved per unit of log-loss is extremely high, such that even tiny variations in log-loss result in large apparent differences in performance.” https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/eYFscbv5BJ8Fezauj/scaling-laws-vs-individual-differences
“Scaling Laws for Generative Mixed-Modal Language Models. In this paper we explore the scaling properties of mixed-modal generative models, discovering new scaling laws that unify the contributions of individual modalities and the interactions between them.” https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.03728

“Many people mistakenly think that large language models that generate one word at a time is the end game. Connecting LLMs with tools, e.g.: search engines, python interpreters, etc., is super exciting, and leverages tools' power, robustness & more!” https://twitter.com/OriolVinyalsML/status/1613227037959028736

“In logic circuits, the Toffoli gate (also CCNOT gate), invented by Tommaso Toffoli, is a universal reversible logic gate, which means that any classical reversible circuit can be constructed from Toffoli gates.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toffoli_gate
Researchers have confirmed the presence of an exoplanets at only 41 light-years away, in the constellation Octans, almost exactly the same size as our own, clocking in at 99% of Earth’s diameter. https://esawebb.org/news/weic2302/

About the obese man, my friend told me about this and then I checked the phone and got the same fact. Logging this coincidence
