Don't watch any kind of screen in the evening. Read a book instead. You'll fall asleep sooner.

"Conclusions: This meta-analysis confirmed that skipping breakfast is associated with overweight/obesity, and skipping breakfast increases the risk of overweight/obesity. The resul…

People seem to be misunderstanding this paper. It doesn't claim that any previous papers have overestimated contamination. That would only happen if scientists didn't routinely use…

Title needs to be changed. It completely misrepresents this research. There was no comparison between human written and AI written stories.

Honestly, I think if I wasn't there, she still would have loved it. She related to it like a person.

I played with this last night with my four-year old daughter. We had fun with asking Miles to explain what bones are made of etc. Today, she asked "where has that robot guy gone?".…

When I started out the books to read were clear: code complete, design patterns, refactoring etc. Now it's not so obvious. Am I just out of the loop or are equivalent books no long…

Written by someone who knows what they are talking about.

I've worked in data extraction from documents for a decade and have developed algorithms in the space. I've developed a product using LLMs for this purpose too. This article is ess…

I work in financial data and our customers would not accept 96% accuracy in the data points we supply. Maybe 99.96%. For most use cases in financial services, accurate data is very…

We hosted Ziming Liu at the London Machine Learning Meetup a few weeks ago. He gave a great talk on this fascinating work. Here's the recording https://youtu.be/FYYZZVV5vlY?si=Reoy…

Baptiste Roziere gave a great talk about Code Llama at our meetup recently: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_mhMi-7ONWQ I highly recommend watching it.

Do you have any reference for this claim, or are you guessing? It was reported that the algorithm was a Gradient Boosting Machine by investigators who gained access to the code. ht…

I think because it's a relatively 'younger' field, there is a bit more need to know about the foundations in AI than in programming. You hit the perimeters a bit more often and nee…

Not at all. It's something I've seen in practice over many years. Neither skill set is 'better' than the other, just different. There is a need for people who are able to build usi…

Most comments here are in one of two camps: 1) you don't need to know any of this stuff, you can make AI systems without this knowledge, or 2) you need this foundational knowledge …

It's not about critical thinking: the employees were about to sell up to $1B of shares to thrive capital. This debacle has derailed that.

Sorry! Here's the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.10169

We discussed this at our meetup last night. See here for paper reference and subscribe to get an alert when the recording is uploaded: https://www.meetup.com/london-machine-learnin…

The deeper problem here is that review sites don't work well for things as personal as books. I've read many books based on excellent reviews in amazon, and hated many of them. Mos…

This is to misunderstand Miles Davis. The point is that he treated the trumpet player with respect, as if he was taking to a trumpet player, not a child. He was engaging with a gro…
