A fairly obvious theory at that, unless I've critically misunderstood what's being described. As with so many obvious ideas I've always assumed that the reason I haven't come across it in the wild is because it doesn't work (or is comparatively inefficient, or tends to blow up during the training run, or etc).

Yeah so the first entry in that list is - if I may be so bold - typically what you'd start with at a small scale _before_ writing up and publishing your "genius" idea. This is the usual crank with delusions of grandeur presenting something straightforward that he hasn't tested as though it were a working breakthrough.
Ironically the cost of testing such theories has fallen to an all time low given the capabilities of coding models. I wouldn't be surprised if a frontier model could one shot a test of this.
not sure w/o context why this is important -- no results/implementation & i believe there are prior combinations of transformers/RNNs. but perhaps I'm missing the relevance/insight

Is this just a theory about an architecture or are there actually some benchmarks/results to substantiate it?
appears it's just a theory, sort of surprised this lifted up so far on hn

I thought it's about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransformer
I can't believe that actually works? This is far more interesting than the half baked ML idea.
