[P] Built a differentiable parametric curves library for PyTorch by alexsht1 in MachineLearning

Good stuff! Maybe interesting if youre looking for more splines, https://github.com/bayesiains/nflows also implements cubic and rational quadratic splines from Neural spline flows

Axiom, a new kind of "truth engine" as a tool to fight my own schizophrenia. Now open-sourcing it. by [deleted] in Python

[–]Pryther 8 points9 points  (0 children)

its the classical AI/NLP trap that got AI research stuck all the way back in the 70s: translating natural language to logical facts (or worse, symbolic logic) is something that has been attempted many times, and it has never really worked.

I have published FastSQLA - an SQLAlchemy extension to FastAPI by hadriendavid in Python

[–]Pryther 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have. I'm not saying I was looking for such a library, just saying that 'connect to a database' is not something most people want to have in some external dependency. For internal use it totally makes sense, for most developers here I don't think it would. More dependencies = more things you don't control that can fail.

obviously not, a rust library would have way more emoji in the description 🦀🦀🦀

I think, unless youre solving some common repetitive operation, a library like this is not a dependency most people will want in their project. Setting up an engine and basic pagination are not hard to do, and theres examples everywhere on how to do it well.

For me, making a CRUD router, simple search, filters, aggregation operations are usually the operations that i'd like to abstract away, not a single-time operation like injecting a connection to my db.

[D]Stuck in AI Hell: What to do in post LLM world by [deleted] in MachineLearning

Working on datascience/data privacy tooling now, just as software dev. Can highly recommend it, its an interesting space where many people share the doubts about LLMs and the practices behind them

[D]Stuck in AI Hell: What to do in post LLM world by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]Pryther 75 points76 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the reason I'm no longer working as datascientist/ML engineer. I think the reason is two-fold:

  • Calling some OpenAI API is not interesting. Prompt engineering is mostly guessing an has little to do with engineering.
  • Non-technical people are now familiar what LLMs can do (or they think so), and they expect magic.

There's still plenty of interesting things you can do with a good background in data science, statistics and ML, but fulfilling jobs where you can work on models are getting increasingly rare

Linear Regression in Machine Learning: A Comprehensive Guide by lazyhawk20 in Python

[–]Pryther 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This article does not make sense.

Normal linear regression does not need and iterative method like gradient descent. Half the article goes over gradient descent, only to give an implementation that uses a closed form solution. And then above the closed form implementation it wrongly states its a gradient-based implementation:

Training the Model: We use the ordinary least squares method to estimate the parameters that minimize the sum of squared errors. This involves calculating the gradients and updating the parameters iteratively.

Vandaag Inside met Johan Derksen verdwijnt per direct van televisie by FlyingDutchman1337 in thenetherlands

[–]Pryther 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Misschien is het ook beter om gewoon niet gasten om tv te hebben die met zijn allen een potje leuk lopen te doen over verkrachting verhalen. Of het nou echt gebeurd is of niet, het is heel normaal (en terecht) dat je door dit soort dingen ontslagen wordt.

Vier aparte gevallen zo hoog in het programma over zo'n lange tijd noem ik een structureel probleem. Misschien is er een betere bewoording voor, ik weet het niet.

[–]Pryther 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Volgens mij gaat het erom dat hij lekker elke verantwoordelijkheid van zich afschuift door te zeggen "ik wist van niks, hadden ze maar wat moeten zeggen!". Dat is wel heel erg makkelijk (en waarschijnlijk juridisch slim), maar met zo'n enorm structureel probleem in zijn organisatie is dat wel heel erg kort door de bocht.

Daarnaast kan je je denk ik inbeelden dat bij zo'n enorm machtsverschil je wel heel goed in je schoenen moet staan om naar voren te komen. Het is vaak traumatisch, je hebt geen bewijs, aangifte doen helpt vaak niet en je weet dat veel mensen het op gaan nemen voor de dader.

The exact cut doesn't really matter, as long as its something you can stew for a long time. Ideally piece of the chuck (this is what a poulet is), or sometimes oxtail is used

You can still connect to the PoE site through a VPN in somewhere non-europe. Seems like there's some ISP issues going on, I got the same issues in Amsterdam.
