awesome honking idea ! please add "spaces" for biorxiv and medrxiv too !

what about openehr [0,1]

it is fairly popular in europe. What is required for federal certification ?

An optimistic perspective of how despite today's regrettable events, Sama and gdb will start something new and more competition is a good thing : https://x.com/DrJimFan/status/1725916938281627666?s=20

I have a contrarian prediction : Due to pressure from investors and a lawsuit against the openai board, the board will be made to resign and Sama & Greg will return to openai.

Anybody else agree ?

The linked github repo was active yesterday and is now returning a 404.

one related quote i really like is : "it takes a lot of knowledge to realize the extent of your own ignorance" :D

comments like these keep make me coming back to hn :) witty comments ftw !

Thanks for this reminder about Pieter Hintjens. I have been greatly influenced by his writing, including his use of Alice & Bob, in "a protocol for dying" ! So witty, so clever - such a tragic loss.

"“I think we’re at the end of the era where it’s gonna be these giant models, and we’ll make them better in other ways,” Altman said.

He sees size as a false measurement of model quality and compares it to the chip speed races we used to see. “I think there’s been way too much focus on parameter count, maybe parameter count will trend up for sure. But this reminds me a lot of the gigahertz race in chips in the 1990s and 2000s, where everybody was trying to point to a big number,” Altman said.

As he points out, today we have much more powerful chips running our iPhones, yet we have no idea for the most part how fast they are, only that they do the job well. “I think it’s important that what we keep the focus on is rapidly increasing capability. And if there’s some reason that parameter count should decrease over time, or we should have multiple models working together, each of which are smaller, we would do that. What we want to deliver to the world is the most capable and useful and safe models. We are not here to jerk ourselves off about parameter count,” he said."

May be a little OT but came across this technique called MABs multi armed bandits , related to , finding optimal ways to decide among a sequence of actions and measuring their utility

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-armed_bandit

Has applications in a wide variety of fields : optimal design of clinical trials, public policy decision making.

apparently has some relation to the work abhijit banerjee & esther duflo, the nobel prize winning economist couple have done on design of experiments, to measure impact of developmental interventions

Fantastic read ! I have never had leverage explained so simply and succintly .

The author really has a gift for great articulation.

Hang in there. You are being too hard on yourself.

Most of us have gone through some version of this at some point in our lives, so take a breath and cut yourself some slack.

Lots of great advice on this thread already, so I will live it there.

lol-ing at "Whatever ml is pretending to be this week"

so funny, because so accurate :)

sorry to hear that, i hope if you feel like working a job again, you find kind, compassionate coworkers.

Our experience of interviewing & working is a function of the people we interact with and there are both "good" and "bad" people. I have experienced both during my career and i hope, i ( & everyone else) gets to experience more of the "good" ones !

Noob question : is magit only for Emacs users ?

Insightful discussion !

What a neat story ! Congratulations and all the best Are you hiring ? :)

I am also a big fan of yours Prof Might! I am very passionate about genomics and rare diseases and your contributions (code, writings, setting up the PMI, and all the others too numerous to list them all here) in this oft neglected area have been very motivating and inspiring to me . Wish more software folks were aware of and work on these important problems at the intersection of biology and software

p.s. would love it if you do a reddit AMA
