Language models pack billions of concepts into 12k dimensions

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-30 23:54:20

In a recent 3Blue1Brown video series on transformer models, Grant Sanderson posed a fascinating question: How can a relatively modest embedding space of 12,288 dimensions (GPT-3) accommodate millions of distinct real-world concepts? The answer lies at the intersection of high-dimensional geometry and a remarkable mathematical result known as the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma. While exploring this question, I discovered something unexpected that led to an interesting collaboration with Grant and a

Self-Assembly Gets Automated in Reverse of 'Game of Life'

Alexander Mordvintsev showed me two clumps of pixels on his screen. They pulsed, grew and blossomed into monarch butterflies. As the two butterflies grew, they smashed into each other, and one got the worst of it; its wing withered away. But just as it seemed like a goner, the mutilated butterfly did a kind of backflip and grew a new wing like a salamander regrowing a lost leg. Mordvintsev, a research scientist at Google in Zurich, had not deliberately bred his virtual butterflies to regenerate

What do the Samsung Galaxy S25, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and the OnePlus 13 have in common, beyond simply being Android phones? The answer is that they're all powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which is the processor of choice for 2025's top Android flagship phones (other than those made by Google).

In a paper published earlier this month, OpenAI researchers said they'd found the reason why even the most powerful AI models still suffer from rampant "hallucinations," in which products like ChatGPT confidently make assertions that are factually false. They found that the way we evaluate the output of large language models, like the ones driving ChatGPT, means they're "optimized to be good test-takers" and that "guessing when uncertain improves test performance."

Being Underweight Might Be Deadlier Than Being Overweight

If asked whether one would prefer to be too skinny or fat, chances are most people would reply that they’d rather be too skinny. Distorted standards of beauty and their propagation on social media are certainly to blame for this, in addition to the knowledge that being overweight typically brings along a host of health risks. A new study, however, suggests that being too thin can actually be deadlier. Researchers used health data to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and
