Sparse autoencoders

 "Sparse autoencoders / SAEs" - if you run into this jargon, it just means "capability to analyse a complicated issue into multiple simpler components". Basically middle-school reasoning / critical thinking / analytical philosophy. 


However, with regards to the implementation of SAEs in "transformer" architectures, it just gives you a better stochastic parrot, as it doesn't introduce things like rules or logic programming at all. It's just an increase in the resolution of a probabilistic reasoning algorithm.

Malaysian politics recap

1. Unlike Tony, I think Rafizi and Nik are doing great. 

1.1. Unlike Payung Besar Melayu, ditto. 

1.2. What we have here is true evidence of democracy. 

2. I don't think Anwar is doing a horrible job. 

2.1. He does some pretty damn stupid things, by letting coalition partners run rampant with messaging. Too bad. I accept this. 

2.2. I am ambivalent about his continued role. Not the worst I've seen in this damn country! 

3. Economic growth results from peace. 

3.1. Not all forms of peace are interesting. Mahathirism was an incredibly uninteresting example of peace.

3.2. Rome wasn't built in a day, and Malaysians are still dumber than Romans.

3.3. Keep your hopes up, we might be smarter some day.

Konsep mukallaf mungkin menggagaskan suatu lokus bimbingan bagi rakan-rakan saya yang berkepercayaan bahawa tuhan menginsankan manusia.


Saya, yang berkepercayaan bahawa manusia telahpun mencipta gagasan tuhan, meminati isu ini dari segi antropologi kebudayaan.
