There is a classic thereom from computational learning theory that says, if all hypotheses are equally likely, then no generalization can happen. Ie bias is necessary for learning. To respond to some sibling comments: Yup, this is prejudice

For maximum results, lie sideways on the ground and start blinking slowly and petting yourself gently and meowing softly. Your friends will think you're crazy, but cats will love you.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. A time traveling retroactive debugger integrated with an LLM for interrogating what happened and why, would be awesome.

I recently spent about two hours trying to write a script to automatically color grade an input image according to the palette of a target image. The results were unsatisfying and I was surprised that achieving this task was much trickier t

Can someone explain in detail how the hybridization of analog and digital occurs? Where and why? I, for example, would love to mod a Hasselblad medium format cameras so that it could digitally adjust light etc so I could use it as a point a

I’ve argued that if ChatGPT means that motivated students spend less time doing expository writing, and more time: * learning to ask good questions * learning to fact check * learning to edit the writing of others Then they have truly learn

I wanted to go iPad only for live music for a while, but found the supporting hardware to be lacking. (This was like five years ago.) I spent money on a dock that would allow me two audio inputs (microphone and guitar for example) and a USB

I remember SCaNN. Are there easy to use implementations available now? You also seem unsure. Personally, I love a cheat-sheet like in Slide 7 of the presentation. It's a game-tree for what ANN implementation to use, given your proble

TBH, programming has lacked creativity since complilers got within 90% as good as hand-rolled assembly. Hand-rolled assembly wasn't really fun because you could type it and get a response instantly, rather than the creative good old da

Upwork is the prototypical clown car that crashed into a gold-mine. (Or is it?) Well it's definitely a clown car. The product experience is comically bad (like sad clown comedy). There is incredible friction in the hiring and interview

Thorlo Padded socks are amazing. I own maybe 8 pairs of their thick padded crew socks in black, which are versatile and great. e.g. for boots. Their padded ankle socks are great for sneakers + sport. And then I collect non-Thorlo beautiful

These nodes typically have slow downstream, and thus are hard to use when training requires pulling a huge dataset.

I know this is probably an unpopular position, but my ML/NLP Ph.D. advisor always said not to do any optimization unless it would yield 10x better performance. I guess that makes sense in the context of large-scale data research, where

No. If you try to paste math or an algorithm box with funny notation from a PDF, it gets corrupt. Thus you need the latex source. And downloading and selecting the appropriate bits from the latex is quite fiddly.

To me, it seems like a good definition. If scaling the size of the model leads to a linear increase in capability, then nothing is emergent. If scaling the size of the model accretes almost no gains, and then there is a huge unpredicted ste

I guess my last sentence was confusing. What I meant was that we fell into the common trap that scientists want to do as fancy science as possible when they leave academia and enter the startup world. Because there's an issue of pride
