Very cool! I was recently looking at dumping our slack data and fine tuning some openai model to do something very similar at a place I work with currently. Were there any pain points in fine tuning you wish you knew before you built everyt

A 'leaky relu' is used to retain some of the negative stuff and prevent neurons from dying young. I just googled around and now see "PReLU" which seems to also address negative value.

I'm fairly convinced this is the next iteration of that. In the last 6 years I feel like there has been a massive focus on 'content moderation' which was just an attempt to direct and bias information that was being used to p

8 or so years ago in uptown manhattan you'd see these btc ATMs in shady bodegas that I was convinced were being used for laundering money back, unless the frequenters of the surrounding methadone clinics were more astute investors than

Rust is amazing, I truly believe a large number of people are intimidated by it and so go out of their way to shit on it and pretend like it's only for some niche IOT device... when it's just as easy to write out a full crud appli

Shipping code on Friday is bad. Shipping things after 4PM is also bad. Why hire any QA? Why code review at all? All of these reduce the risk of bad or unintended software being in the wild and not releasing on friday or after 4pm reduce th

And from experience, a technical person still needs some deep pockets to really take an idea to it's potential. Personally I forget that selling and marketing is a massive overhead that is generally not solvable by some clever code and

I was imagining a system where you can essentially host your own file with your business metadata and different systems can use it for their own maps. In this case OSM could be aggregating businesses into their map to display local tire sho

I'll try not to rant, but a useful and complete open map system in my mind is one of the biggest things holding up a ton of innovation around mobile devices, search engines and even automotive by being able to divorce from apple/g

Exciting to see ML develop in ways that will enhance accessibility for people. I imagine being able to train a screen reader with your own voice (or voice of your choosing) would be a huge plus for vision impaired folks.

Very neat. Nice to see more free and easy p2p stuff. Getting a p2p video/audio/screen share application going is definitely a lot less work than it once was. https://teamvideo.app/ webRTC stuff has a ton of cool p

If you aren't teaching students about how master/slave terminology is applied to tech then you are doing them a much MUCH bigger disservice than the horrors of them having to read words they were taught to react to poorly.

This will most certainly be used to limit US citizens access to their second amendment. The unseen use cases for this will be equally horrifying. DARPA creating a precrime detection tool is about as dystopic as is gets.
