Comparing the tokenizer to sensory processing is a great analogy. That's exactly what your visual cortex and initial layers of the language center are doing: decoding visual representation of text into the internal neural representation.

It's a learned mapping from one representation to another, not some semantic lookup against an exogenous source.

Not at all. A brain is interesting because it is the computer, memory, and weights all in one. A GPU is just the calculator.

You can't move your mind to and any other brain, but weights can run on any GPU.

If you're going to claim the tokenizer is a dictionary then it doesn't really matter what paper you wrote code for.

"Time dilation" in this case is referring to the physics phenomenon from Einstein's special relativity. Not human perception.

I am curious about the laws governing something like that. Does it matter whether it's a domestic or international flight? Are pilots king of the vessel?

People have watched too many silly action movies.

Cows eating grain in concentrated feedlots and then made available in separate pieces all year round at the local grocery store... is also a modern industrial invention.

Yes, people putting effort into a "carnivore diet" can be healthy. The problem raised by the article is people continuing to follow their same eating patterns (namely, ultra-processed foods) while the fats have been swapped out.

Externally "healthy". Any heavy red meat and high saturated fat diet can lead to CVD.

Olives are a fruit and yet they are disfavored by the movement. Coconuts are a seed but they are considered acceptable. And within seeds, maíz, soy, and safflower are all very different botanically.

Coconuts are fruit, actually. Also while corn kernels and soy beans are technically seeds, they are, at least in my opinion, pretty far from the vernacular definition of seed. Part of this is that soy is a legume, corn a cereal, unlike safflower and rapeseed, which might matter nutritionally.

If you think this article is annoyingly hand-wavy about science, wait until you see the dietary guidelines put out by this administration!
