What Is the Fourier Transform?

news.ycombinator.com Shalma Wegsman 2025-10-09 07:11:09

As we listen to a piece of music, our ears perform a calculation. The high-pitched flutter of the flute, the middle tones of the violin, and the low hum of the double bass fill the air with pressure waves of many different frequencies. When the combined sound wave descends through the ear canal and into the spiral-shaped cochlea, hairs of different lengths resonate to the different pitches, separating the messy signal into buckets of elemental sounds. It took mathematicians until the 19th centu

Understanding Transformers Using a Minimal Example

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-12 14:30:06

The internal mechanisms of Transformer Large Language models (LLMs), particularly the flow of information through the layers and the operation of the attention mechanism, can be challenging to follow due to the vast amount of numbers involved. We humans can hardly form a mental model. This article aims to make these workings tangible by providing visualizations of a Transformer's internal state. Utilizing a minimal dataset and a deliberately simplified model, it is possible to follow the model's

OpenAI Warns Against Investing in Its Stock

OpenAI isn't a publicly-traded company — yet, at least — and as such, the company's express written consent is necessary for the sale or transfer of its equity. But that massive caveat has not, apparently, stopped sleazy operators from trying to rip would-be investors off with shady promises of buying into the red-hot artificial intelligence giant.
