There was a story once about a boy with a wheelchair who needed a ramp to get into school, and the school made him use the loading dock ramp used for garbage and other things at the back. The school argued that it was an appropriate accommo

This is the common belief but not quite correct! The Muon update was proposed by Bernstein as the result of a theoretical paper suggesting concrete realizations of the theory, and Keller implemented it and added practical things to get it t

I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. If you look at the linked video, they state that it's oftentimes not in the best interest of the private equity group's moneymaking capabilities to announce that a channel has been sold ou

They unfortunately recently (last few years) sold out to private equity (which tends to glaze over fundamentals and tries to pump out massive content using previous brand quality to give it credence), so beware of quality in more recent vid

There are versions of this kind of benchmark with a higher threshold, however, it only seems to adjust the timetables by a linear amount, so you're only buying 1-2 years or so depending on what you want that % success rate to be.

No! This is not good. Iteration speed trumps all in research, most of what Python does is launch GPU operations, if you're having slowdowns from Pythonland then you're doing something terribly wrong. Python is an excellent (and ye

This is (and was) the dream of Cerebras and I am very glad to see it embraced if even in small part on a GPU. Wild to see how much performance is left on the table for these things, it's crazy to think how much can be done by a few bol

Not bad frustrations at all. That said -- IoU is how the final box scores are calculated, that doesn't change how you do feature aggregation, this will happen in basically any technique you use. Modern SSD/YOLO-style detectors use

As someone who's done a fair bit of architecture work -- both are important! Making it either or is a very silly thing, both are the limiting factor for the other and there are no two ways about it. Also, for classification, MaxPooling

As someone who has worked in computer vision ML for nearly a decade, this sounds like a terrible idea. You don't need RL remotely for this usecase. Image resolution pyramids are pretty normal tho and handling them well/efficiently

Yes, it's a synthesizer -- you may know it inside and out, but having demo videos showing what it can do will help people with no context get that quick "ahhh, that makes sense" moment from things. :)

I don't think they really did? A single scratch to cause it to break down doesn't seem like it would really be a scalable solution for any kind of mass produced material like this. Would cause chaos if any individual container wen

Yes, this is the principle that violates the WFC algorithm and makes it no longer WFC It is now just a procedural algorithm, which is faster than but loses some of the magic of what makes WFC _so good_. You can tell by looking at the render

This is neat! However, it is now longer the WFC algorithm. The idea of the WFC algorithm is that it is limited to one-at-a-time iteration, this mathematically means that every element in the input communicates its full "state" to

That is an understandable statement, and probably fair as well I feel. Much of this comes in reference to statements from fchollet w.r.t. replacing deep learning -- around the time of the initial prize, with a lot of the much more hype mark

I feel rather consternated that this response effectively boils down to "yes, we know we overhyped this to get people's attention, and now that we have it we can be more honest about it". Fighting for place in the attention e

As a rather experienced ML researcher, ARC is a great benchmark on its own, but is punching below its weight in terms of claiming that it is a gate (or in terms of this post -- a "steward") towards AGI, and in my perspective and t
