Interesting, thanks for sharing. > I'd seen too many legitimate situations in which a metric declines even though there's no regression, such as bug fixes in metrics or occasional updates to the test data. I guess you could kee

Not so much "work" per se, but something that I've been thinking about quite a lot recently is how ML practitioners test their systems. For example, before launching a model to prod, I've commonly seen that teams have a

I'm pretty curious how ML practitioners test their systems. E.g. before launching a model, I've commonly seen that teams have a suite of datasets/evals, and a model has to be at least as good as the existing model in producti

Yes indeed, and it shows the advantages of Stable Diffusion's model of just releasing the model and letting people do what they want with it - this was straightforward to implement oneself. And while OpenAI released this feature now, i

As someone in the ML community where arxiv rules supreme, I really do not understand why other communities do not also have something similar. I get that there are some perverse incentives around, but there is a relatively straightforward s

I'm not sure about GPT-3 specifically, but often these models are trained with an explicit "stop token", which the model can output when generating text to indicate that no more text should be produced. That said, there'

I don't think it is necessary - though all forms of intelligence we're aware of have bodies, that's just a fact about the hardware we run on. It seems plausible to me that we could create forms of intelligence that only run o

I work in AI and would roughly agree with it to first order. For me the key breakthrough has been seeing how large transformers trained with big datasets have shown incredible performance in completely different data modalities (text, image

I find it really interesting how these new large models (DALLE, GPT3, PaLM etc) are opening up new research areas that do not require the same massive resources required to actually train the models. This may act as a counter balance to the

My reading was that the “identical ancestors point" is the point at which every person is either: 1. an ancestor of all currently living people; or 2. an ancestor of no one currently living (ie their line died out). Alternatively, it’s

Awesome! What speed does eco mode mean? A 500km range is pretty impressive, possibly also longer than it would be comfortable to sit on a bike without needing to sleep!

Very cool! It’s interesting to think how we will look back at this time X years in the future. Is AI/ML going through the process of becoming a serious engineering discipline in much the same way software did before?
