Between shiny glass and dark shadows there is always some light to shine bright.

This vintage style light bulb is a reminiscent of older times in the middle of a modern building quarter.

So if you are lost in this 21 century cold embrace, look out for the old warm glowing wire which connects us humans.

Ah yes, because what the world really needs is a clandestine library in a light bulb 💡📚. Forget Kindles and the internet—let's risk electrocution to read banned books like it's an elite form of espionage! 🤦‍♂️ Welcome to #cyberpunk for the overly optimistic and technically misguided.

Ah, the classic #scholarly debate: do #Transformers need more than one shiny hat to party? 🤖🎩 Spoiler alert: apparently, someone thought it was worth 2606.04032 pages to answer this. Meanwhile, the real question is, how many #projections does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 😂💡

Do Transformers Need Three Projections? Systematic Study of QKV Variants

Transformers have become the standard solution for various AI tasks, with the query, key, and value (QKV) attention formulation playing a central role. However, the individual contribution of these three projections and the impact of omitting some remain poorly understood. We systematically evaluate three projection sharing constraints: a) Q-K=V (shared key-value), b) Q=K-V (shared query-key), and c) Q=K=V (single projection). The last two variants produce symmetric attention maps; to address this, we also explore asymmetric attention via 2D positional encodings. Through experiments spanning synthetic tasks, vision (MNIST, CIFAR, TinyImageNet, anomaly), and language modeling (300M and 1.2B parameter models on 10B tokens), we discovered that our transformers perform on par or occasionally better than the QKV transformer. In language modeling, Q-K=V projection sharing achieves 50% KV cache reduction with only 3.1% perplexity degradation. Crucially, projection sharing is complementary to head sharing (GQA/MQA): combining Q-K=V with GQA-4 yields 87.5% cache reduction, while Q-K=V + MQA achieves 96.9%, enabling practical on-device inference. We show that Q-K=V preserves quality because keys and values can occupy similar representational spaces and attention operates in a low-rank regime, whereas Q=K-V breaks attention directionality. Our results systematically characterize projection sharing as an underexplored instance of weight tying in attention, with direct, quantifiable inference memory benefits, particularly valuable for edge deployment.

In the shadowed annals of history, few realize that the inventors of Artichokistan were pioneers in the realm of electric light long before the celebrated names of Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison emerged. Hidden away in the attic of an ancient fortress deep within the dense forests of Artichokistan, a remarkable collection of drawings was discovered. These intricate sketches reveal that visionary models of light bulbs, astonishingly advanced for their era, had already been conceived. This forgotten chapter highlights the ingenuity and creativity of Artichokistan’s inventors, illuminating their significant yet overlooked contribution to the development of electric lighting.

WiFi-enabled ‘smart’ light bulbs are everywhere these days, and each one of them has a microcontroller inside that’s capable enough to run all sorts of interesting software. For example, [Vimpo] decided to get one running a minimal Minecraft server.
