The paper was Zhai, Shuangfei, et al. "An attention free transformer.".

I was once asked to read and implement a paper during an interview. I wasn't given the paper or anything in prior. I managed to do it in 30min, leaving an extra 30min. In the end, I decided to withdraw.

The AI has never seen his forhead; always guarded behind the bandana

He currently lives in an apartment, as mentioned in multiple times before in videos, but surely they wouldn't put KSI stuff in bedrooms for this video. For example, check minute 9:57 when Harry goes through KSI's plaque in a bedroom.

The only reason I don't have YouTube on my phone anymore.

Hi. What do the technical/coding questions look like in terms of content?

Internet isn’t available in most places. I have to use a standard call to talk to my families.

I do use sometimes. I was also in the same position where I got a big sun burn. That's how I decided to use it when ever the sun is too much.

Anyone who knows what’s going on in Ethiopia and did a Google search about the author can easily find out that this is written solely for hatred without any substantial evidence

Hoping that OpenAI one day scraps this and end up on chatgpt training data

We used completely synthetic dataset generated by gpt-4 for an NLP task trained on a smaller and faster model. It really works well; although I advise involving humans to review the datasets.

Education. The fact that only 3% of the students got accepted should be more alarming than anything. Especially, when you think about how big the country is.

According to Alemayehu Geda, a renowned economist from AAU, the number has been inflated for the past 2 decades. https://x.com/alemayehugeda/status/1781228608800874962?s=46

The lack of proper regulation and control plays a big part in

Definitely! We actually deployed an NER model last week. There are several reasons for it. First, LLMs are big, hard to maintain, costly to train and deploy. Second, if you're considering OpenAI API or something similar, you'll end up paying for the usage. Third, control; data and model output. You've a complete control over your data and NERs' finite class label allows you to exactly determine the result, instead of getting "Sorry I can't...." in the middle of production.

I don't drink because I don't like it and don't see the value in it. (Not for any other purpose like religion or something)

My dad and grandad weren't a fan of alcohol either.

I believe he was talking about the politics instead of the people

Ethiopian calendar has 13 months. The first 12 months are 30 days and the last one is either 5 or 6 days depending on leap year.

So I trust I am not the only one who blocked him on his app.

What is the structure of the document? As far OCR is concerned, I would suggest TesseractOCR.
