It's better to treat llms as more of a language encoders and decoders and have some for of intermediate representation where facts are verifiable. Or some form of a validation mechanism that isn't exactly checked against the gener

My biggest woah moment wrt transformers was when I saw a paper that took a pretrained Roberta model and made a slight modification to it's embedding layer to feed in image and audio data and it worked. Granted the performance was proba

But wasn't the whole point to drop down to a lower language, release the GIL and then do parallel processing? Gil per subinterpretee makes things easy python side but I'm not sure how much of it's relevant if you are using so

The small downside to using kwargs is just the extra letters needed to call the function but I can live with that. As for args with the same type, you can use phantom types I guess but I haven't explored it much in python. I'm pre

In python I mostly code in functional style. Even then types helps me a lot. I make a lot of typos or get the order of arguments wrong. Typing helps me a lot here especially when I'm doing ML. The last thing I want is my training code

It's easy but just mind numbing

https://simplify.jobs/ This is the site I mentioned. They provide an addon for auto filling workday applications

Workday is weird. It's a chore to apply but things like simplify jobs browser addon makes ituch better. That being said I have more luck getting a response from a workday application than greenhouse or lever. Maybe the harder pathway d

Wouldn't term limits atleast slightly mitigate this issue? Harder to be buddy buddy with the person in power of they keep changing every other term or two. But you are right about the influence of lobbyists. It's very messed up wh

Thanks for this analysis. I feel like there is a big diconnect between what groups of people are assumed to be like vs what they actually do. Point 5 being the most apparent for me

For me the most glaring example of this was it's document parsong capability in GPT4. I was using it to revamp my resume. I would upload it to got, ask for suggestions, incorporate them into the word document and then repeat the steps

So i have played around with this architecture specifically for entity linking. Two BERT encoders: one for the query text and another for the candidates. Initially the two encoders were separate but trained together. When I tried using the

But those two are not the same right ? In elections everyone involved (candidates and voters) have agreed to the system. If they feel the system is not working as such they could always check the results. Sometimes something may pop up and

The best way to evaluate it would be as a function of the elasticity of the service provided. I can avoid eating a pizza but not avoid taking a specific road. Besides it seems like any domain where the initial investment is large seems to b

That would be pretty useful. I'm working on getting chatgpt to classify a dataset. So basically I use the same big prompt for a bunch of different small texts and ask chatgpt to generate the class label. Something like initializing the

Guess the main point is the environment itself changes depending on what you do and what you eat. So you need to constantly resupply the initial good bacteria for them to keep holding on

by rdedev 3y ago
It could be the case that these specific strain of good bacteria does not last long enough in the mouth for some reason. For example they could mutate or they might not have the capability to attach itself to the tooth surface for long enou

For international students another trick I've seen from companies is moving the starting date by 5 or 6 months. On F1 visa you only get a set amount of unemployment days (90 days if I remember it right) after which you have to leave th

I've been thinking about doing something like this but only inference and written in rust. I thought it might be a good excuse to learn SIMD but it seemed like a big undertaking so I've been putting it aside for a long time

I bit the bullet. After singing in via google, its just a page with instructions on installing the Mojo SDK. Nothing about pricing but on their FAQ section they do talk about the telemetry data they collect and how to disable it https:&#x2

Are you talking about the metadata collection by nextdns itself ? It's not some random company and again you can disable it pretty easily. Afaik the metadata is mainly used to classify requests per device and show some stats

Is there a place where I can learn more about GPU hardware and programming? I've not been able to find a good introductory course in it yet

Being forgotten in India? Things are much better than it was before but there are still couple being murdered for marrying out of their caste

Would phantom types help in this case ? I know that rust supports it

You got a good point about code evolution. Has anyone taken a look at it from a biological perspective? Seems like such problems can occur in genetics and nature might have come up with some tricks we can use

I think the consensus on cancer screening is stil not fully there? Came across this video by a cardiologist a long time ago https://youtu.be/yNzQ_sLGIuA?si=fUttSVFQjsrIqc-p I guess the main gist is that screening is not com

Would it be better if substack has two forms of the same article? Like have the full article available only for paid members while having another one for someone just checking it out. Leave it to the author to decide what to show in a parti

A simple way would be to do some form of retrieval on those emails and add those back to the original prompt

So there are a lot of Asian countries that eat rice everyday. Including india. I can't even try to come up with anything in those countries that comes close to what's there in Thailand or Philippines. Assuming everything you said

So not everything has a perfect linear dose response relationship especially in the body when there are multiple feedback loops that may make things better or worse Then there is the liver whose job is to filter out said toxins. It might no
