Sounds nice except that these are 1 very small scale model, 1 reranker, and 1 embedding model that are far from frontier LLM level. And they're not open sourced. As much as I agree…

you mean like the thinkpad trackpoint?

Just talk to them as if they were already your friend. Most of what you talk about with friends isn't just mutual interests and you start conversations with them all the time.

This blog post describes the basic work of a research engineer and nothing more. The amount of surprise the author has seems to suggest they haven't really worked in ML for very lo…

The paper you're talking about is "Deal or No Deal? End-to-End Learning for Negotiation Dialogues" and it was just AIs drifting away from English. The crazy news article was from F…

My ideal is copilot that would evaluate the PR against some basic guidelines that maintainers write down. And perhaps a way to filter PRs to just contributor PRs would be easy to i…

Nice work. A while back, I learned convolutions using similar animations by Vincent Dumoulin and Francesco Visin's gifs https://github.com/vdumoulin/conv_arithmetic

> the generation of 281,128 augmented examples, from which 1,000 were held out as a benchmark test set. This model is trained on a custom dataset of 280k examples then tested on 1k…

reasonable post with a decent analogy explaining on-policy learning, only major thing I take issue with is > Reinforcement learning is a technical subject—there are whole textbooks…

I think it's pretty obvious it's 1. Given the recent huge, clearly politically-motivated cuts from the current administration, it feels pretty likely that FOIA could be disrupted u…

how does this compare to zotero?

> IR temperature sensor for checking your body temperature or stuff you baking in the oven > tiny thermal camera sensor for inspecting leaks in house for the winter So just a therm…

Good summary of some of the main "theoretical" criticism of LLMs but I feel that it's a bit dated and ignores the recent trend of iterative post-training, especially with human fee…

The low quality of this blog post (and all your posts) makes me think you wrote it mostly with AI. The irony is palpable. AI is clearly enhancing humans in their creation of garbag…

You give up a shitty view and any chance of fire escape. Such a savings!

You understand some of what your cats mean because you learned it using the same language games Wittgenstein describes. Also they co-evolved to work with us. But just because you u…

The problem with your perspective is you are assuming children have independent wants and needs to work and can stand up for themselves like adult workers can. This just isn't the …

Of all the absolute horseshit in the article, the most obviously wrong is saying that "tech doesn't play both sides of the political aisle". So obviously wrong if you look at any s…

> The solvents we need in this case are the healthier methods of fulfilling these longings. Terrible take. Algorithmic feeds and ad-tech has continually optimized how to get and ma…

How did you run the benchmarking, zero-shot or few-shot? I think a fair comparison would be Llama-7B which got an average ~35% for 5-shot.

Did you read the whole report??? The complainant is essentially stalking his neighbour with surveillance footage, recording any time the neighbour so much as looks in his direction…

The important difference between the LM and the content moderation system (itself built on top of an LM) is their training objective. LM is doing next-word prediction (or human-pre…

Even if you take this perspective, different groups are considered vulnerable in different parts of the world and it seems the API uses the American perspective. E.g. Scandinavians…

They should add geolocation to the fuckups. That is not where either Montreal or Gatineau are haha

The victims are cyclists because so many dutch people cycle! (Because the infrastructure is so good) Per Capita, cycling in the Netherlands is far far safer than cycling in the US.…
