The machine learning research process

Dal parrucchiere uno alla volta. Niente, cade anche l’ultima roccaforte dell’editoria cartacea.

Lol, what?

I'm a scare-quoted "scientist" with high bias. Does that mean I have low variance?

Stay at 127.0.0.1 Wear a 255.0.0.0

Ricapitolando: - Mezzo milione di persone in fila per il bonus mobilità - SPID di Poste non funzionante da stamattina alle 9:30 (imprevedibile l'aumento di traffico 🤦‍♂️) - accesso a qualsiasi servizio PA (e.g. fascicolo sanitario elettronico) impossibile per molti 💥 #clickday

Ma il tirapugni di Orietta Berti? 😂 #Sanremo2021

"Zero To Production In Rust" is complete 🦀 It is a start-to-finish guide for building APIs using Rust Language. A mix of pragmatic advice and foundational concepts. Zero To Production In Rust is the book I wished I had when I started. Two years in the making - it feels surreal to be *done*.

The new #ChatGPT API is officially out! The announcement also covers the release of APIs for the underlying GPT model used by ChatGPT (gpt-3.5-turbo) as well as their speech-to-text model called #whisper. openai.com/blog/introduci…

Is arxiv.org down? 🫣

Yeah sure #gpt4, #LLaMA and #Claude are cool but XGBoost is still king on tabular data 👑

🤷‍♂️ the great irony about this is that the tech chosen as the remedy - LLMs - is out-of-the-box orthogonal to everything search has traditionally been about: facts! this is producing a headlong industry rush to try to bolt on factuality as a post hoc (!) feature

Factuality+language models (1/2): Large language models have evolved in the context of *recognizing* text; they are trained to recognize any text string that plausibly *could have been written*. By flipping around the "recognizing" to "generating", we can "chat" with LLMs. 🧵

Working on my personal website atm, gotta admit I missed doing a bit of frontend! Seeing the results of your work right away is so addictive! 😁

🔩 We've published Colab's Docker runtime image! You can connect to Colab from any machine via Docker and our local runtime connection flow. Follow the instructions below for the connection: research.google.com/colaboratory/l…

Aah!

"ChatGPT seems so human because it was trained by an AI that was mimicking humans who were rating an AI that was mimicking humans who were pretending to be a better version of an AI that was trained on human writing." 💀💀💀 theverge.com/features/23764…
