Rare Earths Are Rare in the US Only Because We Choose To Export Environmental Challenges
As has been said by many commentators, rare earths are not particularly rare. Via source, here is an estimate of their abundance in the Earth’s surface: Note by the way the Y-axis is logarithmic so small changes in vertical position can mean a factor of 10 or more difference in concentration. But the rare earths are not unreasonably far off fairly common industrial metals like lead, nickel, copper, and molybdenum and well more common than gold, silver, and […]

From Transformers to Associative Memory, How Titans and MIRAS Rethink Long Context Modeling
What comes after Transformers? Google Research is proposing a new way to give sequence models usable long term memory with Titans and MIRAS, while keeping training parallel and inference close to linear. Titans is a concrete architecture that adds a deep neural memory to a Transformer style backbone. MIRAS is a general framework that views most modern sequence models as instances of online optimization over an associative memory. Why Titans and MIRAS? Standard Transformers use attention over a […]

Why SNAP Reform Needs More Than Mass Recertification

Understanding the nuances of human-like intelligence
What can we learn about human intelligence by studying how machines “think?” Can we better understand ourselves if we better understand the artificial intelligence systems that are becoming a more significant part of our everyday lives? These questions may be deeply philosophical, but for Phillip Isola, finding the answers is as much about computation as it is about cogitation. Isola, the newly tenured associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), studies the fundamental […]
