Thank you for your rebuttal. It is good to think about the "just a stochastic parrot" thing. In many ways this is true, but it might not be bad. I'm not against replay. I'm just pointing out that I would not start with a

Thanks for maintaining benchmarks here. Is there a github repo that might accompany the benchmarks that I could take a look at / reproduce?

So, a couple things here. It is true that replay in the world frame will not handle initial position changes for the shirt. But if the commands are in the frame of the end-effector and the data is object-centric, replay will somewhat genera

To be honest, I actually really like the visual delivery here. It's especially helpful for understanding what's going on with computer vision problems. Please make more!

I can appreciate that, but also they are recording and replaying motor signals from specific teleoperation demonstrations. Something that _was_ possible in the 1950s. You might say that it is challenging to replay demonstrations well on low

Sorry, but this is a lot of marketing for the same thing over and over again. I'm not against Aloha as an _affordable_ platform, but skimping on hardware is kind of a bug not a feature. Moreover it's not even _lowcost_, its BoM is

To be honest, most researchers in applied ML in the bay say the opposite. If you are trying to be nimble and prototype, use pytorch. If you're trying to gain some optimizations as you near deployment, rewrite in Jax.

Let me say, he's a great teacher! I took a CV class with him. He should teach more, and take it seriously. Being a popular AI influencer is not necessarily correlated with being a good researcher though. And I would argue there is a st

The headline, the picture, the article --- it would be easier to take them seriously if they just made the tools work and stopped posing for band pictures. I am happy to have the tools, but the hype, the valuation, the "we have solved

I think the problem with stuff like this is that in many cases the authors have an idea like "LLMS + ???? = Operating System !" which is not that hard of an idea to come up with. Generally in each instance of LLM + ???? = "th

I am really impressed by this work. If only Disney needed an empirical physicist...

I appreciate the conciseness of this article. Thank you for sharing. I agree. The kitchen sink data strategy appears to be fairly inefficient with current model architectures.

Twitter is just embarrassing now. I haven't used it in over a year now. Turns out it's absolutely unnecessary for a normal, well-informed lifestyle.

The word on the street among the researchers I know from my grad school days is that this is basically a bunch of datasets that were created earlier on for specific papers, and the subset of researchers are repackaging them as a kind of wei

Why is it so painfully obvious that people with position piece blog posts do so to distance themselves or provide an alibi for the things they plan to directly contradict in the future?

Why is it that tech brand names (including people like Altman) have just become so cursed? I feel like society at large is tired. Everyone buys the thing but basically does it because it's required to continue to play the game - not be

I'm sorry but this is just a depressing article... Seems like it offers no upside.

You are completely right about this being a shallow treatment of a complicated subject. There are many different functions the concept of the "growth mindset" serve. Unfortunately, we do not differentiate between them, which as yo

I also really like the instructor for this course! Seems like he really cares. I looked him up and I guess he was a student of Andrew Ng (the legendary ML lecturer!!) so it makes sense.

I have stayed in SF for almost a decade and have no plans to leave. Many of my younger friends have moved to NYC (or elsewhere) and they have told me they don't like the overwhelming tech culture that permeate the bay drowning out the

A fair response. I agree, I would rather see thoughtful technical insights than vanilla advertisements on reddit or whatever. That being said, the quality of these MLOps websites blog posts (excluding the one from OP) on average tend to lea

This is a great and fairly accessible project. I'd like to give this a shot at my local hackerspace!

No disrespect. This article isn't terrible (and I did learn something practical), but isn't the underlying purpose of this post to advertise whatever service assemblyai.com provides? Why is it necessary for MLOps product websites

It's almost as if governments are actually serving their constituencies... Something that large corporations (or otherwise masquerading as NGOs) will most certainly never do unless it magically aligns with making them filthy rich in th

One more for the list is that a lot of people don't know what "Karpathy" means unless they are in the field and have been reading papers. It might be good to include context like "the science communicator/researcher

Possibly dumb question, but why does gemini have to be difficult to use? Why not just serve simple renders of Markdown+inline media? Why not just use something like Obsidian for this purpose?

I love hacker news. I did really appreciate getting a serious answer.

Serious question - not trying to be cute or funny - is Xitter pronounced like "sitter", "ksitter", or "shitter"?

I have never let the existence of Elon swing my decision making too much one way or the other. As others have pointed out, he has some qualities that making him a major asset and some that make him a liability. Since you asked specifically

Whether the CFO leaving is a "canary" or not, I think there is ample evidence that Tesla's overall value proposition is grossly misaligned with its current valuation (futures priced-in). I would not blame people for using thi
