Ever since the big UX app overhaul there is not much to like regarding functionality. They removed the pdf renaming and some other major automated file mgmt features from mendeley. Other than that the commenting and note reader UI was prett

Mendeley beat Zotero for me with automatic pdf renaming, organising and its highlight and note taking tools in the reader. The Elsevier account integration is disgusting though, and I hate the idea of using all Elsevier product.

Looks great, but I have my reservations about confidentiality of the data. The financial model, expenses, hiring/ salary plan and basically all thin ledger financials of most SMBs/startups are highly sensitive. If leaked or sold t

The lowercase is nigh unreadable but the all uppercase example is not too bad. Would be cool to integrate in my split keyboard OLED screens in ZMK firmware.

I believe it was Llama 1 that notoriously got leaked with a torrent on 4chan.

Yes exactly the whole claim is fundamentally flawed. Better queries would include proper timeframing and all LLM-preference-tuning phrases from https://github.com/AlpinDale/gptslop But even then, I don't think thi

Of course BERT is an LM, I never claimed it wasn't. It is just much smaller than what is now termed "LLM" which is typically an extremely large generative decoder-only transformer for general multi-language (often instruction

LLMs typically do worse on specific extractive and classification tasks than a finetuned BERT-large model, so no you actually can't replace everything with LLM calls with similar performance. (Cf. BloombergGPT paper all financial bench

In almost a decade of using Pycharm I have not once used the builtin shell. (Debug console is another matter.) It can never beat the system terminal+shell setup you pick yourself (for me Alacrity+z4h zsh distro). I can only see it as a nice

On linux the default shell is simply in the $SHELL env var.

The things that cause burnout like high expectations, pressure and endless bureaucratic project management slog sound like any software development job. Except the devs aren't getting paid which exacerbates the issue.

To be fair, the term "world model" does not presume scientific understanding, factfullness or causality. In an ideal AI model this would be the aim though.

Within the field his name has become a punchline to joke about self-aggrandizing. But yeah, you honestly have to wonder what it is like day-to-day working with someone with this level of delusions of grandeur.

I tried Nebula's kit but refunded after two attempts. They took on average 3 months to attempt to sequence my sample (due to sample batching) and they both failed. It costs me a fair bit to send the sample to Georgia (US) every time so
