In arxiv.org/abs/2303.00848, @dpkingma.bsky.social and @ruiqigao.bsky.social had suggested that noise augmentation could be used to make other likelihood-based models optimise perceptually weighted losses, like diffusion models do. So cool to see this working well in practice!

I don't usually talk about politics, but if I could change one thing in the US democracy, it might be replacing winner-takes-all representation with proportional representation. Would fix a lot of issues. Agree or disagree that this would be a net positive change?
