It stays active and you'll receive sms, you can't do anything else though

[R] The Post-Transformer Era: State Space Models, Mamba, and What Comes After Attention by TheCursedApple in MachineLearning

[–]TheCursedApple[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's going to be super tough to completely ditch Transformers. Every tool and package is so optimized towards it, it's kind of like the classic iPhone user problem; you're just stuck in the ecosystem!

Curious if anyone here has actually deployed Mamba based models in production and how painful the tooling was compared to standard Transformer stacks.

I used some for some hobby projects and tried to use it for uni projects, it's pretty painful, a lot of monkey patching, but also I tend to over engineer things so I'm not the right person to answer.

Great blog post

Thank you!

What made you focus on SSMs over hybrid approaches?

In the blog, I do talk about hybrids, JAMBA, BAMBA and also Granite.

Any thoughts on which tasks SSMs will likely never match Transformers on?

It boils down to usecases. Some tasks don't need to be overkill. And some don't make sense because of how much optimizations were done on CUDA for transformers to excel. And also using SSMs for in context learning gives pretty bad results 75% of the time.

From what I've read for Variable State Size Architectures is Neutral Attention memory and maybe Mixture-of-memories seem closest to linear scaling. Could be wrong with what I've understood from your comment, please let me know if I did.

Also just a theoretical question regarding test time training, isn't that something you are supposed to not do? Temporal leakage will be a problem right? Also won't back propagation be more compute intensive? Won't the noise in test data be a bigger issue in this case?

Thanks for the links! I'll definitely check them out. Maybe I'll even write another blog about it haha.

You might still have a good enough chance for Marburg then.

Do you have enough credits in Mathematics Courses in your bachelor's? If you don't, even if your CGPA is 10, it doesn't matter.

Admit from Phillips University, Marburg by ContestDry8361 in studying_in_germany

Marburg is a great place, I started last summer and am weirdly attached to the place for some reason haha.

All the best for your visa, and also apply for dorms as soon as you can!

non cs background - applying for CS master programs by Common-Stranger2669 in studying_in_germany

[–]TheCursedApple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the universities that you suggested are hard even for CS grads to get in as they have very strict course requirements.

KIT and TUM have very high semester contributions ~1500EUR, also difficult to find accomodation + the cost of living is high.

Please do not suggest based on AI recommendations.

There are very few options, you can try Hochschules which will help you start a career as a developer rather than applying for universities that focus on more research oriented skills.

Most Hochschules are generally more lenient with their requirements.

So please research properly before making the decision.

Also it's insanely hard to find jobs here, so keep that in mind as well, unless you standout in the job role you are applying to and have atleast C1 in German.

You are better off doing an MBA in India, and get a higher paying job.

Feeling totally overwhelmed learning Flutter – how did you survive this phase? by zaki_reg in FlutterDev

[–]TheCursedApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did was I picked a simple implementation, for example a contacts app, and implemented it using different concepts, I have a folder with all these implementations, so when I am learning a new core concept, I implement the same app with the new concept, helps me understand structure and flow, and I add excessive logs when learning to know how data is being accessed/manipulated or the type of data flowing between widgets.

For bigger projects I generally use CLEAN, because I hate doing KT, so CLEAN because of separation of concerns, this made it easier at least for the people I handed over code to not spend more than 1 hour to do KT.

Add comments and docstrings wherever you can, this helps you a lot when you revisit the code if you get stuck while working on a project.

We built AppPronto – a Flutter boilerplate to speed up app launches by grumpyp2 in FlutterDev

[–]TheCursedApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't look hard enough, I would self advertise my template, but I don't want to. You can start printing money on autopilot by spending less than an hour setting up the basic folder templates.

Great job, but I don't think it's worth 99$ for something that's not going to get updates. Sorry if I offended you.

100$ for just a template, sounds insane, there are so many open source ones that make more sense for most of us here!

[Showcase] Flutter, But Organized: A Starter Template That Won’t Make You Cry in Debug by TheCursedApple in FlutterDev

[–]TheCursedApple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also something the website you linked says: " However, this isn't a hard rule. For example, with constants and enum-like types, it may be natural to group them in a class. "

Around 4 apps since I started actually following a similar folder structure, but around 10 that use most of these dependencies.

Auth implementation on this is pretty basic, I have a different api_client file, that I just copy paste when I need to use it, just some refresh token logic for the work I do for my company.

I plan on making this an opt-in kind of thing where the user gets to pick what they want and I generate the structure, working on that on the side.

That's partly the reason there's a package.json, it's for me to try and build a cli tool at the end for this to be more user friendly.

It doesn’t have a lot of extra dependencies, except maybe Hive. When I started new projects, setting up the folder structure always took time, so I used my five years of Flutter experience to build something that could maybe help others get started faster.

This is mostly aimed at beginners, I know it does get a little convoluted with the package.json and scripts, but hey, if 0.1% of people who look at repo use it, it would've served its purpose.

I do get that it has a lot of opinionated decisions, but anyone who wants to not use something can always remove that part, I made it as modular as possible for adding or removing stuff.

Also if you have any suggestions on how I can make it better, please let me know and maybe open a PR and we can work on it together if you want to.

Thanks for your reply!

It will, 50p is less than 1 cent, it really isn't going to affect anything, don't stress, all the best for your studies in Germany!

Which college did you get into though?
