I updated my regexes to clean up some of the tokenizer noise last night. So many of the formatting in the code snippets should look a bit more natural now.

It’s a different model, the AWD_LSTM. The inventor of this model spoke about GPT-2 on this podcast and talked a bit about the differences: https://overcast.fm/+Goog4jsR8

I like the idea. Unfortunately, even though snail mail has associated costs I still get a ton of junk.

It is, the tokenizer isn't reversible (and it adds spaces all over the place). But a lot of these I should be able to add to my regex that converts the output back into more human readable format (in the raw output, there's a spac

It’s something I’m interested in! Unfortunately I’ve come to the conclusion that upvotes on Stackoverflow aren’t correlated with question content (or I’m not skilled enough to be able to differentiate between “good” and “bad” questions). Ch

Yeah this is a shortcoming of the tokenizer. It splits things up in ways that are not 1:1 mappable back to their source unfortunately. I did a bit of post-processing to get it formatted a bit better (re-combining the “would“ and “n’t” token

The way the language model is trained is by rewarding it for correctly predicting the next word in a sequence. The output of the model is a predicted probability distribution of the next word and a “state” — the next iteration takes the sta

Yes, I was heavily inspired by them :) Glad someone made the connection! I actually hadn't seen thisresumedoesnotexist.com yet; but I loved https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com and https://thisrentaldoesnotexist.com

I am actually a bit worried that I’m already starting to see search engine traffic coming in... I hope that the good will outweigh the bad. I’d love to create an answer generator, for example. Once enough questions are generated I’m going

A friend of mine actually suggested trying to generate a hacker-news-comment language model next.. sounds like a fun project. I’ll have to look and see if there’s an archive of them available.

The timing of this is interesting in the context of Elizabeth Warren’s recent proposal to forbid platform operators from also being participants on their own platforms. It looks like they’ve filed a complaint with the EU Commission; I wonde

I don't think that's what's being proposed. It's that if they are going to control the App Store they can't also participate with their own apps. For instance, Apple Music, which has gotten over 50 million paying

Will this work on JSON files that are larger than the available system memory? Firebase backups are huge JSON files and we haven’t found a good way to deal with them. There are some “streaming JSON parsers” that we have wrestled with but th

Neat walkthrough! Last year I actually made an applied-CoreML app to solve sudoku puzzles where MNIST came in very handy. I wrote about it here: https://blog.prototypr.io/behind-the-magic-how-we-built-the-...

To be clear, is this VC already on your cap table or are they just a potential investor in the next round that won’t be happening because of the acquisition?
