"The Merriam-Webster link is still in there, but you have to scroll..."

meta-attention is all you need

В этой статье я расскажу о интересной находке во время моих экспериментов с языковыми моделями, которую я решил назвать "мета-трансформерами".Или я нашел реально что-то интересное, или выдал желаемое из действительное, а обьективную оценку может дать только (технически подкованный) внешний наблюдатель, поэтому этот текст и был опубликован. Особенно тут кстати будут спецы по архитектуре трансформеров. Все подробности в статье. Читать далее Read more

Как перестать путаться в IP-адресах серверов

В своёй работе мне часто необходимо подключаться к серверам через SSH и по другим протоколам. Часто эти сервера не имеют доменного имени, а подключаться необходимо по IP‑адресу. Когда этих серверов 2-3, ещё как-то запоминаешь что на каком сервере находится. Но когда их становится больше 10, то помнить что находится на xxx.xxx.xxx.115, а что на yyy.yyy.yyy.71 проблематично.
