    I think that some of these choices (as others have commented) show that the author has not investigated how tokenization works. Tokenization is not some black box, you can run toke…

    PCA is applied after the model, so there should be no difference in embedding throughput. Lookups in the index should be faster, but that speedup also applies equally to MRL. So I …

    Ah I meant more to say that I was working on this as well. I haven’t published the results for this comparison specifically yet.

    Comment #49231804

    Nice! I’ve been working on something similar and found similar results. In my experiments, I used lots of embedding models and the results were not nearly as uniform as this curve,…

    LinkedIn recently added a “seems like AI slop” button. I.e.: independent of downvoting/not interested/flagging as spam/ToS violation, you can say “this is AI slop”. Maybe we need s…

    That is true, I’ve seen people do biochemistry and geology work, and it did look very mind-numbing. Then again, gassing rats and taking biopsies is not something you can do with AI…

    I’ve always felt that the idea that science is bottlenecked and therefore needs more automation only works for a very narrow definition of what science is, and entails a very speci…

    Love it. I especially thought the introspective “aside” section on related resources was great, and I wish more people would show this kind of reflection.

    I’m in a similar boat. The one thing that seems to help is recognizing when the ask from leadership is genuine, and also sensible from a product point of view. Seize that moment to…

    100% generated. I skimmed the paper, and came out with a feeling of still not knowing what this is about.

    It is hilarious to see most comments are people peddling their own products more or less directly.

    They sell their products using the credentials they gained. I’d never heard of socket until they found and reported shai hulud hiding in pytorch lightning. It pays off.

    Comment #48994931

    I think this is such an nefariously unnecessary negative argument. Most, if not all, of the shai-hulud attacks that hit npm and other ecosystems were preventable with cooldowns. An…

    Nice! That sounds a lot more like a mission statement than your actual readme.

    Comment #48975399

    Not the software, the whole thing. As an author: show me why you thought this was interesting and why you’re doing it, and why you think it’s relevant. What does it build towards? …

    Sadly 100% generated. I think the idea is interesting though, although I wonder if training time for LoRA is such a bottleneck to deserve its own, extremely narrowly scoped, leader…

    I don’t think this is the right take-away though. Your fully generated project description makes people lose faith in the actual project. If you went through the trouble of writing…

    Even the title is a Claudeism, it makes me sad

    The file drawer effect, except this one maybe should have stayed filed.

    I think he is a good example of someone who writes mainly to show he is ready for the next rung of the corporate ladder. That is, his posts are not meant to be useful, but to show …

    As mentioned by a sibling comment: this is an insensitive take. It takes a lot of courage to write down one’s struggles for all the world to see. Your analysis denies the OP their …

    I am interested in why you chose to do this, and publish it with the headline you used. Was it to learn something? Or to get publicity for another project? Tbh, this sounds like fe…

    Why do all this work and then let an ai write the blog post.
