I'm a Data Scientist. For some time, I've been working on a library for feature engineering. • GitHub: https://github.com/feature-express/feature-express • Website: https://feature.express It is

The architecture is something like an ensemble but there is also this control network which chooses 2 experts to generate text.

Right now I start my prompts to chatgpt-4 with "dont be lazy". For every question I have it answers that it is a complex problem... GPT-3.5 in the API is more consistent that chatgpt-4. Even with some additional prompts it is maki

That feels like a great idea to mix to strong models like these in a sequence.

I'm pretty surprised more people dont use logit biases to call openai with. Checking if something is either a or b means that the tokens for those letters must be 100 weight which means they will be chosen no matter what and no other c

You can build procedures for fact checking quite easily. It is like asking gpt to write code and tests.

Ah nostalgia... This was my first PC processor. I remember my CPU came with some sort of a bug that prevented me running windows 3.11 on it.

Not sure it you know Terry Pratchett and his discworld series but this was his exact train of thought. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/authorinterviews/10...

Except Paul McCartney is considered as one of the best song writers of all time. There may be many musicians who can do the same on a technical level but even then he is a significant outlier.

It is expensive but even then Youtube has been profitable for many years now. It represents 10% of Google revenue. 5-10 ads is a cash grab imho.

He liked Top Gun Maverick very much too. The review was fantastic.

Except it didnt. Dall-e and copilot are both microsoft because microsoft bought openai. Google created imagen which is better than dall-e.

Not sure if it is more relevant when you immediately hear about increased radiation from the power plant.

You realize that Scikit-learn is written mostly in Cython (where high performance is needed)? It is a part of the most influential ML library in existence.

If you believe Rust zero cost abstraction - being safe doesn't mean it has to be compared to safe languages because Rust and C can translate into same assembler code. But in Rust the compiler gives you more guarantees. I would say that

To some extent it depends on the settings of the tournament because engines can work in the background and analyse position while it is not their turn. It is called ponder. Time management is based on some heuristics built into the engine.

Yes you are right it is not a very good UX. For me the most interesting part is observing the evaluations of the position from the perspective of 2 engines. See the charts that track it move by move. It is often the case that one engine see

Just look at new cases and deaths in South Africa and compare to the previous waves. Seems pretty convincing to me.

How exactly increased elo makes lichess worse? I would only argue that because of the number of players chess.com it seems more stable. I really feel every 50 of elo difference.

Agree. Even yesterday I was praising Blender's node editor and I'm encouraging the developers to mimic its functionalities in a product we are building.

For traffic simulation there is https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet which is very impressive project.

And I disagree with you. The police officer is not doing anything wrong he is only utilizing a strange loophole. Is an actor wearing a reflective hat is breaking law by preventing paparazzis of using the photos in tabloids? Why should they

You should be grateful that someone else did it because it is a bad idea. Everyone of those services is easily replaceable with a library call. For example there is no language in the top 20 Tiobe index that doesn't implement all of th

Not necessarily true that MLPs are very compute expensive. It is maximum a couple of layers and if your input is sparse (categorical) you can gain even more. For some problems it can be the fastest and decent non linear model from my experi

The algorithms to train, initialize the networks, new architectures are far more important than the hardware advances. If people knew how to train NNs 50 years ago we would live in a different world.

What is wrong with event sourcing? We also built our app without any microservices but event based processing is actually quite good pattern. Basically the state of the application can be replayed with the events.

Anyone can draw an offensive cartoon. They are withholding the solution for money. If a startup that is removing backgrounds from photos is worth close to $100M (remove.bg) imagine how much this is worth. This technology is worth billions a

I like the analogy to learning a language. The immersion is very important. I did exactly what you said. I didn't read many tutorials I just sat down and rewrote a project in Rust. I don't use lifetimes properly right now (I abuse
