To plug my own field a bit, in material science and chemistry there is a lot of excitement in using machine learning to get better simulations of atomic behavior. This can open up exciting areas in drug and alloy design, maybe find new CO2

Clean code talks about this very well. Like all things it's a matter of doing it write or wrong. The checklist includes: 1 are you using comments to manage obfuscated code? I.e. the comment isn't the problem it's the spaghett

"Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it.&

From my experience I use llms for writing tests because llms are much better at writing tests than the application code. I suspect this might be due to the fact that the code ends up being a very detailed and clear prompt to the llm.

Thanks! I saw the comment but your post gave me the nudge to actually click the link. I'm glad I did!

I think the article is very honest about this just being a fun exploration. They even show how you can get similar patterns with newton's algorithm which is a more "classical" take

You can read old George Orwell essays about his experience with the media in the Spanish Civil War that sound like they could have been written yesterday. He talks about how he felt the media was entering some sort of post truth era even th

Ahaha yes, I discovered this after writing :) I think the main argument is still that Europeans don't get as much vitamins/minerals artificially added and 'may' (though not necessarily) be better poised to benefit. I say

Update: Experts are pushing back against the Spectator's reporting — including one source quoted by the magazine who says her remarks were taken out of context.

I wonder to what extent this is for Americans, whose bread and cereals are so loaded that they're effectively multivitamins anyway. I live in Norway and just realized that they don't put iodine in their salt. (Actually a lot of mi

There are two major frameworks managing DFT calculations: AiiDA and Fireworks. What's strange to me is Microsoft has put a lot of support into AiiDA (including hiring a few high profile developers). Yet in the paper they use Fireworks

Are they really "laws" my impression is its all just a bunch of empirical trends. We cannot know truly how these parameters interact at large scale and also how they interact with each other. Is it really the case that openai has

by dmarchand90 3y ago
I kinda wonder if maybe it's at least partially due to openai hitting a kind of hyperparameter lottery. When each experiment costs millions it might be that (aside from good/ unique data) they just have a good set of hyperparamete

A fun fact is that even in humble fracture mechanics one gets singularities at the crack tip using standard elasticity theory. A bunch of funny mathematics is needed to get around this. And, of course, the reality is that at a certain point

For me it seems strange that nobody is mentioning the obvious: noise. I would like to see a study where someone adds "RANDOM_SEED N" (with being some random 7 digit number) to each message check the distribution in lengths and use

I'm still not very clear why you can't just leave this as a personal moral decision rather than a legal one.

The only part I disagree with is the historical perspective. When was this time that people believed in personal growth? For most of history the nobels were nobels, peasants were peasants and that was that. If anything, the sense of having

Yes they used to be luxurious, because they all used to cost more than first class prices. You can still fly the 1960s, actually much better, if you want to pay like the 1960s https://brilliantio.com/how-much-were-plane-ti

I wonder if you could bypass these issues with strength training machines designed for space. E.g a squat machine that pushes down from above, cable tension based arm movements, etc. I bet if you're clever you can probably have a small
