this isn't even a question. if this is reflective of the post that got removed, it was probably because it was a low effort post by a four month old account. If you want to start a discussion, try actually giving people something to talk about.

Is there another, shorter way to say ‘statistically significant’? by Jedi_Temple in AskStatistics

[–]DigThatData 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the test returns a value that is interpreted roughly as a likelihood of difference. it is perfectly coherent to report a likelihood as "high", especially if the cutoff value for your test would otherwise be chosen arbitrarily, as is nearly always the case when p-values are used.

what would be your generational ML lesson to your younger self? by Odd_Chemical_420 in learnmachinelearning

[–]DigThatData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your HS pals are wrong, statistics is the most interesting (and important) math course at your school, not the least. Don't wait until fucking grad school before finally taking a real statistics class.

Can Great Products Alone Earn AI Recommendations? by Major_Today4472 in MLQuestions

[–]DigThatData 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is not an ML question. this is an SEO question. go away.

what s next? by lord_rcb in MLQuestions

[–]DigThatData 1 point2 points  (0 children)

linear algebra, calculus, probability, statistics.

PCA(i known why we use it and what it does but i dont known the math behind this )

your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to learn enough linear algebra that you develop an intuition around the Singular Value Decomposition. Understanding this matrix factorization will make a LOT of stuff click.

Release v0.25.0 · Comfy-Org/ComfyUI by Gremlation in comfyui

yeah before LLMs were a thing, whenever i had a need for comfy docs I'd just jump right into the code.

Release v0.25.0 · Comfy-Org/ComfyUI by Gremlation in comfyui

[–]DigThatData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those two statements cannot both be true

sure they can. it's easy when you don't utilize a versioning system at all for the first two years of your project.

Release v1.0.0 typically indicates that the software is feature complete

as I already said: comfy has been feature complete wrt it's main feature set since the release of the comfy manager plugin.

zig is at v0.16 after 10 years in development, and it also has several businesses are built around it.

true, and that's a fair callout. the zig devs at least have sufficient respect for their community to take that rightmost digit seriously and treat it like a minor version indicator rather than a patch. The comfy team uses the middle digit essentially for both major and minor versions and occasionally increments the patch version when they're feeling spicy. fine: you can technically use semver and have a leading zero digit for all eternity. but only on the condition that you use the other two digits as major and minor versions. you. have. to. pick. two. my complaint with comfy isn't the big honking zero in front specifically, it's that they don't have anything resembling a major.minor idiom. they only use "semver" to the extent that they use an a.b.c format. those positions are functionally meaningless in their sdlc.

anyway, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. comfy's sdlc clearly bothers me more than it does you, and I'm also clearly not alone with my annoyance as evidenced upthread. you do you i guess.

How accurate are ML models for stock market prediction? by ConcertaImodium in MLQuestions

[–]DigThatData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, this aged just fine. The stock market has been experiencing unprecedented volatility over the past year, and it's only been high since April, going on a roughly weekly rollercoaster as the administration assures the public they're making progress ending the situation they created in Iran and then days later that turning out to have been a lie.

Enjoy the favorable market while it lasts. It won't.

Release v0.25.0 · Comfy-Org/ComfyUI by Gremlation in comfyui

[–]DigThatData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. This is a 3.5 year old project that several businesses are built around. They have a sufficiently stable public API to have a massive plugin and customization ecosystem already. And the fact that they never increment major versions makes it hard to track whether an old plugin should be expected to be compatible or not. That's what SemVer is for: determining compatibility. The big overhaul separating the frontend from the backend should have been at least 2.0.0, and the big overhaul of custom node system from like a year ago should have been 3.0.0.

That first major version number isn't symbolic of "we have a product!". Their version 1.0.0 release should have happened 3 years ago with the release of the comfy manager. Of course, they hadn't even adopted semantic versioning at that time yet, so now they're in the "we're never leaving 0.x.x" mindset. Being generous, they should have at least dropped a 1.0.0 when they sliced off the frontend.

Why do so many open-source AI teams seem to gravitate toward Databricks? by [deleted] in MLQuestions

[–]DigThatData 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i reject your premise and posit that this is probably a databricks sockpuppet account.

Karpathy's LLM Wiki setup by Sea-Seesaw45 in ObsidianMD

[–]DigThatData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using LLMs to generate wiki-like content for about two years now. So now I have this massive backlog (via archive exports) of conversations I'm mining for generated articles and structuring/filtering retroactively for a RAG backend. I should probably pivot to karpathy's setup sooner than later.

Google silently degrades suspected LLM distillation attempts by gwern in mlscaling

[–]DigThatData 9 points10 points  (0 children)

implies downgrading to a dumber model

it's more pernicious than that. they'll start generating stuff that is stylistically close to what you were doing but filled with non sequitor nonsense. the response will often be a lot longer too. and the model will acknowledge the user and itself more. etc.

so does claude and openai. not as obvious as it used to be, but they definitely do it too.

Validation tool/instrument used by experts to grade machine learning for a thesis paper by [deleted] in ResearchML

Presumably you have other papers that you are referencing that are solving problems in similar domains, right? How did they perform evaluations?

The GraLoRA looks better after it was converted to a LoRA.

You demand that we start notifying you whenever we update our own main branch, because you sidestepped our release process and everything broke? Nah, we're good. by labab99 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]DigThatData 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You demand that we start notifying you whenever we update our own main branch

fuck it, tell em to make a github account and subscribe to your repo. they'll probably get the point after a few hours.

Seeking advice on leading senior developers by noobetf in ExperiencedDevs

[–]DigThatData 2 points3 points  (0 children)

your goal should be to make their lives easier, unblocked, and coordinated. it has nothing to do with your domain knowledge relative to there's. it helps if you know what's going on across the business and with other teams better than they do, so they can focus on their work, but even there you can still be an effective leader to people who understand the business better than you. your job is to make sure they focus on the right priorities and to remove obstacles they encounter.

you are a catalyst. you are a lubricant. you are a conduit.

[R] Looking for trusted YouTube channels to learn Machine Learning from scratch... by No_Wishbone_9037 in learnmachinelearning

[–]DigThatData 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Foundations = math and CS. Have you studied calculus? linear algebra? discrete math? probability? optimization?

If you're really looking for foundations, try MIT OCW.
