Eigenvalues in an oscillating system describe its resonant frequencies. Its eigenvectors can describe motion at that certain resonant frequency. Imagine a bridge. If wind or traffic match a resonant frequency (eigenvalue) it would be dangerous. Engineers can redesign it to change the corresponding eigenvector and shift the eigenvalue (its resonant frequency for that mode of oscillation) to a safer range. See that bridge in London.

So he learned nothing you already know at 15. Or younger in Asia.
I think he forgot his goals because it doesn’t even mention eigenvectors.
I am surprised because it is not a difficult thing to understand? It is a vector that when multiplied to a matrix (which in almost all cases would change the direction of the vector), in fact only scales it - and does not change its direction.
The scale factor is its eigenvalue.
So if you hav [[2,0],[0,3]] this should when multiplied to a vector give you [2x,3y]. But if you supply the vector [1,0] or [0,1] you see that the result multiplies that vector by two. So any multiple of these eigenvectors (e.g. [10,0]) will result in a doubling of the vector.
This is not a difficult concept. By any means.
This is what the new online safety bill has you do though. It is ridiculous. And we can not even vote on it.
This is not hyperbole.
Against the rules to talk about politics here. But I am interested
That old rhetoric again.
They are trying to push a law (have pushed?) that brands anyone with an AI capable of generating cp a certified pedo.
So basically any diffusion model. Or in fact any llm? I imagine you can ask an LLM to generate you sketchy svgs.
Secondary thought to that, what about scary illegal texts telling you how to make explosives or hack. Sorry guys better brandish you a terrorist for having a local llm.
That definitely does seem to change its semantics to me. I am not a c expert but this surely has problems the previous one doesn’t?
I want good looking children. I can provide for my family by myself. Why would I care if my partner is was a super genius or not as long as we were both attracted to each other and she wasn’t brain dead?
