This is the common belief but not quite correct! The Muon update was proposed by Bernstein as the result of a theoretical paper suggesting concrete realizations of the theory, and …

I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. If you look at the linked video, they state that it's oftentimes not in the best interest of the private equity group's moneymaking capabilitie…

They unfortunately recently (last few years) sold out to private equity (which tends to glaze over fundamentals and tries to pump out massive content using previous brand quality t…

There are versions of this kind of benchmark with a higher threshold, however, it only seems to adjust the timetables by a linear amount, so you're only buying 1-2 years or so depe…

No! This is not good. Iteration speed trumps all in research, most of what Python does is launch GPU operations, if you're having slowdowns from Pythonland then you're doing someth…

This is (and was) the dream of Cerebras and I am very glad to see it embraced if even in small part on a GPU. Wild to see how much performance is left on the table for these things…

Not bad frustrations at all. That said -- IoU is how the final box scores are calculated, that doesn't change how you do feature aggregation, this will happen in basically any tech…

> The MSE here is not intended to be a training loss, but as a means to demonstrate that both approaches lead to almost the same result except for some rounding error. Ah, gotcha >…

As someone who's done a fair bit of architecture work -- both are important! Making it either or is a very silly thing, both are the limiting factor for the other and there are no …

As someone who has worked in computer vision ML for nearly a decade, this sounds like a terrible idea. You don't need RL remotely for this usecase. Image resolution pyramids are pr…

Yes, it's a synthesizer -- you may know it inside and out, but having demo videos showing what it can do will help people with no context get that quick "ahhh, that makes sense" mo…

If you would like an original link non-heisted through the gwern domain, I'd encourage you to read it from the original UPenn link (University the professor who wrote this works at…

I did my part and manually reloaded the page about once a second for 5 minutes so that Andrew could get their dev validation beep quota in for the day (unless it's not naive hits, …

I don't think they really did? A single scratch to cause it to break down doesn't seem like it would really be a scalable solution for any kind of mass produced material like this.…

I'm a speedrunner, and I'm pretty sure this is well known -- and accepted as standard in some categories! It's a pretty well accepted standard (to the point of the headline being a…

Yes, this is the principle that violates the WFC algorithm and makes it no longer WFC It is now just a procedural algorithm, which is faster than but loses some of the magic of wha…

This is neat! However, it is now longer the WFC algorithm. The idea of the WFC algorithm is that it is limited to one-at-a-time iteration, this mathematically means that every elem…
