    I've been looking into this. There seems to be some mostly-repeating 2D pattern in the LSB of the generated images. The magnitude of the noise seems to be larger in the pure black …

    Later down the line, if you want to have separate behaviour for task deadlines vs payment deadlines, you're going to have to go through your codebase and look at every call to set_…

    I used to work at Yelp, which had something that I think it similar to what you are describing called Data Pipeline ( https://engineeringblog.yelp.com/2019/12/cassandra-source-co..…

    Check out figures 1 & 2 in the Llama-2 paper :) They benchmark against ChatGPT for helpfulness and harmfulness https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/llama-2-open-found...

    It seems like VR is less than half of the investment by RL. In Meta's 2022 annual report, they say "Many of our metaverse investments are directed toward long-term, cutting edge re…

    As one of the unsupervised dorks working on LLMs at Meta (not one of the authors here) I took it in a positive way :)

    I feel like this is a boring answer but for me, I had to make a habit of it, and then it didn't feel so hard any more. I started doing a master's degree in my free time: when I sta…

    > Finally, RLHF, or "RL with Human Feedback". This is a fancy way of saying that the model now observes two humans in a conversation, one playing the role of a user, and another pl…

    I was under the impression you got a 60 day grace on the TN as well: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/chapter-I/subchapter-B/... "An alien admitted or otherwise provided status…

    What I’m seeing is that some big tech companies these days (including my own) have standardized rubrics [1] for leetcode-style questions that focus on a few areas (like DS&A, commu…

    Yes, I skipped or paraphrased those parts of the bill to keep things short in a way that I thought made sense. But I think the message is unchanged with the full text. Namely that …

    We do background checks, so hopefully we're not actually hiring people who tell big lies on their resumes. > IMO for the hopper it is also not easy I agree. I'm changing jobs soon …

    It's ok if my employer's competitors are advantaged because I'm switching jobs soon to get that sweet sweet pay bump anyways :)

    The part of the bill that mentions E2EE (Section 5) is an amendment to the Communications Act of 1934, namely the famous Section 230 which contains: "No provider or user of an inte…

    In my experience, being familiar with inductive proofs is pretty useful for programming. For most non-trivial code involving recursion or loops the way I personally "know it works"…

    The relationship is that computing the SHA hashes takes polynomial time. One way you can think of NP is that it is the set of problems whose solutions that can be deterministically…

    Comment #30096213

    You’re correct that there is no proof of the security of SHA1. The existence of any one-way function would imply that P != NP. And if it turns out that P = NP then it will turn out…

    Yeah, the MNIST model seems to have issues. I can get it to make mistakes for all line widths and most digits. Maybe the issue with small digits is that there is no cropping happen…
