So... We are now automating laziness? There goes my last stronghold...
Skimmming is definitely not a bad thing.
Not so sure. I do skim sometimes, but it always leaves me with are dirty feeling of cheating. Also one needs to go back and check whether something important was missed and this undoes most of the benefit of skimming.
The proper place or skimming would be to skim before reading just to get an overview of what's to come, or to skim while evaluating if the thing is worth reading in the first place.
cool paper, i enjoyed following the post (and really appreciated the effort put into the bokeh viz!) i wonder if this would have been improved by being clearer about the motivation. the authors frame it as though the ~60ms penalty for using the LSTM for prediction is a huge burden, and i can imagine situations where it is. however, it seems like if this is the case, we need some real life/"scaled out" examples of how…
A 'batch' is how much of the data you put in memory at once while training the NN. To train even a small language model, you'll go through 1000s of batches, so the time difference is way bigger than it sounds. I agree a more practical example would have been nice -- maybe it'll come out in the paper.
Not quiet! Choosing between using a fast mostly accurate model and a slow very accurate model. Time saved vs accuracy gained.
Not quiet! No usually "that person", but: quite Only pointing it out because of the irony: Choosing between using a fast mostly accurate model and a slow very accurate model.

The only reason I've ever had not to skim was because I was asked not to. But for example at school my purpose is really to learn not to satisfy the desires of my teachers, and actually most of the time reading, taking notes, and so on doesnt help me at all. Its a much smarter and more effective strategy. Trim the fat as the great adam levine would say.

my impression was that this was about the time taken to make each prediction, not to train the model? and yep, looking forward to the paper!
