In what practical way does it affect you? What kind of domain area are you using the llms?

My intuition is that with very small microbatch sizes you're very likely to end up in one of the two modes: either the vast majority of the samples are aligned and thus pruned away, or they are not aligned. Thus effectively you're

Do you mean training each model independently and only averaging at a late stage, in order to reduce communication overhead in the distributed scenario?

Don't you think there is a difference between accidental and intentional exclusion?

I think human brains are a combination of many things. Some part of what we do looks quite a lot like an autocomplete from our previous knowledge. Other parts of what we do looks more as a search through the space of possibilities. And then

Ironically if you explain to those talk show hosts how they are wrong about how ChatGPT learns (or doesn't learn) and use all the right arguments and proofs so that they finally concede, chances are that they too won't quite learn

It's on topic indeed. But is it insightful? I use llms as tools to learn about things I don't know and it works quite well in that domain. But so far I haven't found that it helps advance my understanding of topics I'm a

Our brains contain a word salad generator and it also contains other components that keep the word salad in check. Observation of people who suffered from brain injury that resulted in a more or less unmediated flow from the language genera

What do you think about: * Chef's Knife * Painter's Palette * Carpenter's Toolbelt * Teacher's Guide ... They are all terms that work in a similar way: they qualify the name of a tool or object by the profession of who&#

I agree that currently it's a net drain. I also agree with your assessment that issue trackers and other aspects of the workflow are as important as the coding phase. I don't know yet exactly what can be done to leverage LLMs to o

TL;DR: The biggest threat to your career is not LLMs but it's younger engineers that will adapt to the new tools. --- My personal take is that LLMs and near future evolutions thereof won't quite replace the need for a qualified hu

I suggest you read about it again. It was about geo-centric vs helio-centric models. It was not about flat vs globe. The geo-centric model assumed the earth was spherical but it didn't rotate or otherwise move.

You seem very confident about the rules of something as highly ambiguous and fluid as a natural language. It may no longer be a fashionable term but it has been used by native speakers. Examples: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w

Let's try the following intuition pump. If we rephrase the scenario as: "The easiest way to detect if a person is asleep is to see if they're lying down with your eyes closed." This is clearly not always true. However wh
