What about mHC? I'm surprised it helped with such a small compute budget.

Was really cool to see yous use Engrams to cut down compute! Given its basically an O(1) lookup with disk space being the main constraint, I was curious if you've tried ablating en…

Sure the thermodynamic reduction of `weight-loss := energy-in Most pointedly, theres a number of studies that measured outcomes from over/under-feeding identical twins [1] or varyi…

I think this is a commonly-held misconception. Even when individuals accurately account for calories and workout intensity (using hard data, not feels), theres a large variance acr…

Usually, chronically-overweight ppl have tried regulating weight with all kinds of diets, lifecycle interventions, regular exercise, etc, and a lot of the time the thing that actua…

Oh yay another one lol. This one seems much more general than the prior one that needed nested page tables. Patch Thursday for cloud VM ppl lol

Paperclips can be very difficult to obtain sometimes :P (have you seen smiling friends?)

Hell yeah!!

Silver-coated wire? I don't have that lying around.

Unless the load moving from down providers overloads the remaining ones, cascading into a catastrophic, model-wide failure. (Luv a lil cascade, as a treat)

Most new tech has insane P/E multiples for a time, for me the litmus test between "capex is high but but within a few multiples" and "capex is insanely overbuilt, ahh collapse etc"…

Even if you are colliding with 20 people a minute thats still 3.5 straight days of running into people. Even if gentle thats probably heavy bruising, and any conflict or discourse …

Thanks! I had a clanker graph it with sliders, its a very interesting function to play with! seems like it has the negative 'hump' typical of a GELU coupled with the saturation of …

HF says activation function is "SiTU-GLU", but I can't find any info on that? Anyone know / is this a typo? Even the python code for inference seems to use normal activations.
