The model from OpenAI doesn’t need to be directly trained on the company’s data. Instead, they provide a fine-tuning API in a “trusted” environment. Which usually means Microsoft’s “Azure OpenAI” product. But really, in practice, most appli

This sounds extremely confounded by lifestyle, socioeconomic status, and overall diet. The kinds of people who eat dark chocolate are clearly a self-selected bunch of outliers. Even though they tried to correct for some of these covariates,

The term “petition” is being used here in a technical legal sense. Colloquially we’d probably just call it a “lawsuit” challenging the JacvsScript trademark.

ReScript is better described as a descendant (and fork) of ReasonML aimed to fit into the JS ecosystem. In contrast to js_of_ocaml, ReScript prioritizes interoperability with existing JS code and APIs over interop with existing OCaml code,

Could be interesting to create a tokenizer that’s optimized for representing chess moves and then training a LLM (from scratch?) on stockfish games. (Using a custom tokenizer should improve the quality for a given size of the LLM model. So

What country are you in? In the US, pseudoephedrine has to be requested at the pharmacy counter, but it's not a compounded medication. Instead it's sold as pills in the usual "blister pack" format.

What was a passing grade back then? Even today this varies a lot in different systems. In the US public school system, 70% is considered passing, but in other contexts tests are constructed so that e.g. 35% correct is a passing grade.

At first blush based on the patch to fix this bug, I’d say the code looks terrible: https://github.com/indutny/node-ip/commit/32f468f1245574785e... Seems impossible to read and verify. Wouldn’t it be simpler

So what's the equation? Surprised they didn't share it given that it's "simple". The paper seems to be paywalled without any preprints online that I could find easily[1]. https://scholar.google.com/s

Yes, in the sense that the amount of "distortion" they can achieve is bounded to be small. Frankly, I'm approaching this as an engineering problem, so I haven't tried to work out all the gory mathematical details to full

These are great points, and I understand your skepticism. First let's get OkCupid out of the way: while OkCupid was great for 2008 and deserves a lot of credit for pioneering the idea of actually trying to find great matches, it certai

No, the use cases for this are similar to regular autodiff, where you implement a function f(x) and the library helps you automatically compute derivatives such as the gradient g(x) := ∇f(x). Various autodiff methods differ in how they acco
