Viewing profile — shpongled

There is a relatively widely adopted tool (100+ citations, >500k invocations collected via telemetry) for mass spectrometry-based proteomics written in Rust, and quite a few others…

The title is >Create value for others and don’t worry about the returns. Isn't being an anti-masker the opposite of this viewpoint? Literally saying, I only care about the returns …

As someone who is "into" programming languages (and making toy implementations of them), I think some of the most important macros are along the lines of Rust/Haskells `derive/deri…

As someone who has been primarily writing Rust for the past 8+ years, I am actually unaware of any political drama surrounding Rust. It's just a programming language.

Looking at their profile I'm inclined to agree. But I think in isolation, this one post isn't setting off enough red flags for me. At the very least, they aren't just using default…

No, it doesn't. The "I'm an expert at AI detection" crowd likes to cite things like "It's not X, it's Y" and other expression patterns without stopping to think that perhaps LLMs r…

Unclear why you think this is ChatGPT, doesn't read like it at all to me. Many people - myself included - use punctuation to emphasize and clarify.

If you consider correctly citing a source that is explicitly provided in the context via tool use, then sure. They absolutely cannot correctly cite sources otherwise.

The value proposition is multi-cursor editing, which is very nice

It's not totally novel, but it's very cool to see the continued simplification of protein folding models - AF2 -> AF3 was a reduction in model architecture complexity, and this is …

Probably because ByteDance and Facebook (spun out into EvolutionaryScale) are doing it

Protein folding is in no way "solved". AlphaFold dramatically improved the state-of-the-art, and works very well for monomeric protein chains with structurally resolved nearest nei…

There's no problem with randomness in FP? You could use a monad/external state for an OS-level RNG, or define a purely functional PRNG

2016 remains one the greatest single player FPS games I've played (Titan Fall 2 is the other)

When I mean "use" them, I mean make heavy use of them, e.g. structs or functions annotated with multiple lifetimes, data flows designed to borrow data, e.g. You can often get by ju…

As someone who loves SML/OCaml and has written primarily Rust over the past ~10 years, I totally agree - I use it as a modern and ergonomic ML with best-in-class tooling, libraries…

Thanks! I'm not super up to date on all the ML stuff :)

Do you know when this was introduced (or which paper)? AFAIK it's not that way in the original transformer paper, or BERT/GPT-2

I looked through their torch implementation and noticed that they are applying RoPE to both query and key matrices in every layer of the transformer - is this standard? I thought p…

I think you cropped out the important part of the quote: > It’s rare that I have more than a drink or two in one night. I don't drink that often any more, but 2-3 drinks in a night…

I would pay $5000 to never have to read another LLM-authored piece of text ever again.

One possibility is trying a different form of cardio. I personally don't enjoy running at all... but I love cycling. Running for 30 minutes is super boring, but I can go do a 4-hou…

"It doesn't get any easier, you just get faster" - Greg LeMond

True, I should have qualified "actual" duration, not perceived duration!

N,N-DMT is very intense and not to be taken lightly - but you could say the same with LSD, psilocybin, etc. Personally, I am much more wary of large doses of LSD/psilocybin than DM…
