It is a little ironic that this article reads so much like an AI-generated one.

we've reached another level of dopamine-hit chasing....

I'm fine with it seeing as I can use my student email and get free usage

While I can see this being a very useful skill for many, we must also remember sometimes reading slow is desired, especially when a deep understanding and analysis of a text is required (e.g reading and analysing literature)

not too great, i submitted a photo taken of me at graduation. it got the location totally wrong and was around 50%-70% accurate on my hobbies and interests. it was able to correctly guess my sexuality and ethnicity, which is rather unsurprising.

MegaTrain stores parameters and optimizer states in host memory (CPU memory) and treats GPUs as transient compute engines. For each layer, we stream parameters in and compute gradients out, minimizing persistent device state

This is pretty awesome. The only compute I have at home is an RTX 3080 with 10 GB of VRAM, so I struggle with training larger models (>40M, 50M params). I get OOM errors and have to optimize a lot.

I have a lot more CPU RAM in my PC, and this would likely increase the size of models I can train locally.

Insane. Not even an apology. And they ask why we should respect the police.

how elitist

nixos or arch for me.

their in-house Workbench distro seems really cool, looks super light and minimalistic. IMHO it's also priced reasonably enough.

might be a cool way to visualize emergent properties of automata

LMAO How ironic...

all non-ivy league researchers? that seems a little harsh IMO. i've read some amazing papers from T50 or even some T100 universities.

This should honestly have been implemented a long time ago. Much of academia is pressured to churn out papers month after month as academia is prioritizing volume over quality or impact.

this is pretty cool, it seems they reuse every image by translating it a little when your cursor is within a range

wow - this is really well made! i've been doing research w/ Transformer-based audio/speech models and this is made with incredible detail. Attention as a concept itself is already quite unintuitive for beginners due to is non-linearity, so this also explains it very well

maybe if you were really a "cracked coder", you could learn React...

Wow. Arco was my first introduction into Arch-based systems - it taught me invaluable amounts of information. I run Arch Linux now, but Arco always has had a special place in my heart. So sad to see it go.

hehe, just beat the top score. world record is 555 now.

perhaps to give publicity to smaller yet high-quality websites?

oh my god this paper is wonderful... had me in tears with laughter note the adorable little dinosaurs!

I've never liked any sort of "minimalist" computer or any product in the same vein as this. Never found any sort of use for it. If I want a computer (or any electronic device, really), I want the best one that I can buy at that price point with the most functionality. If I want to take a break from electronics, I can just use pen and paper. No point in shelling out hundreds of dollars for a tablet with less functionality. Perhaps if it was cheaper I could (maybe) considering using it.

Could the reverse logic be used to design websites that are specifically ANTI-llm? as in making the website understandable for a human but confusing for any llm model

Of course. What did we expect? Can't trust tech corpo these days.

oh dimden! i love your neocities site! great to see you here

hey man - i'm from the states and i'm really sorry that you have to go through all this. I'll send you and email.

What is this? The website is just all blank with "V-test" written on it as a header. Is this some kind of unreleased project?

WOAH! Did NOT expect to be here. I've been playing Zero-k for over a year and it is so. much. fun. I play BAR (Beyond All Reason) and Zero-k with some of my friends.

Oh, omniglot! I really like how they include some famous conlangs like Quenya and toki pona (both of which I am familiar with). The Quenya and toki pona numbers do seem pretty accurate. There are some discrepancies with Quenya (Omniglot thinks cardinal 14 = "cancëa" while parf edhellen/ardalambion thinks cardinal 14 = "canaquë"). Of course, these errors are relatively minor and might not even be errors since Quenya is still evolving as new documents are found and analyzed.
