We can't just look up info using an LLM. We have no clue what its weights and biases are based on, and whatever other layers control the output. Just a total black box. It would be…

When I was learning ML, I spent a lot of time using sentence transformers. Seriously underrated. Happy to see it here.

How do you debug it properly? Suppose you see others not have the mysterious difficulties that you have. What if they were simply pretrained - through prior exposure to that materi…

Hey I'm reading that book too! Glad to meet you! I love that book.

I mean, my friend's wife is an eye surgeon. My husband's cousin is a pediatrician, with neonatal specialty. I'll take software engineering.

Lots of happy examples in this thread. Let me add mine. My 3 year old vastly prefers complex carnatic music to cocomelon (and its ilk). He can listen to a 15 minute, intricate song…

Some languages are supposed to be very difficult & mentally taxing to learn, because they have many conjugations. But a native speaker with very low intelligence (however you measu…

ITT: ppl saying LLMs are v helpful The keyword in title is "bullish". It's about the future. Specifically I think it's about the potential of the transformer architecture & the ide…

I started with this 3 part course - https://www.coursera.org/specializations/machine-learning-in... . I think the same course is available at deeplearning.ai as well, I'm not sure,…

I learned ML only to satisfy my curiosity, so I don't know if it's useful for interviewing. :) Now when I read a paper on something unrelated to AI (idk, say progesterone supplemen…

Not the poster you responded to but I learned quite a bit from kaggle too. I started from scratch, spent 2-4 hrs per day for 6 months & won a silver in a kaggle NLP competition. No…

What an incredible waste of words. What is this even based on? For a start, where I'm from, there is no marker around the age of 40 (or 35 or 45). It's the age when people are extr…

Thanks for asking this -- your question made me realize I don't have much experience with pain at all! The answer is pretty run of the mill stuff -- I got my finger stuck in a door…

Pretty common. I did.

> Imagine someone being a brain surgeon also interested in the heart, kidneys and urinary tract, nose-throat-ears, ... that's a Renaissance Doc. Do you mean that such a Renaissance…

He meant that micromanaging and getting into details is good (not disparaging him here, fwiw I agree with him), but he didn't want to come right out and say it. Also, I think he's …

My amnesia is somewhat intentional. Like some of the commenters here, I'm doubtful if I should really take it everyday. Just seems excessive? Did it during pregnancy ofc, and it's …

This is great. My mother had osteoporosis and I hope they come up with a therapy she can use! However as a currently breastfeeding mother, I'm asked by doctors to take calcium supp…

Visualizing 3D matrix multiplications, and getting comfortable with it. Then there's basic calculus in understanding gradient descent. Can't think of any other advanced math that w…

The end neither justifies nor undermines the means.

Is it really secret though? It's the first thing you learn when you google "how to take bp". Like I'm not a medical person but when I was pregnant, I was asked to check BP and I as…

Nice. I tried visualizing this algorithm here - https://visuallyexplain.pages.dev/kmp/algorithm-(wip) . The sidebar has a bunch of completed algos -- DFS, BFS, binary heap queries,…

Does anyone know if there's something similar for plain old geometry? I need some proofs beyond basic ones (for ex, I need to know how to find out intersection points of 2 rotated …
