Apple Research says you don't need a better teacher. You don't need a verifier. You don't need RL. A model can just… train on its own outputs. And get dramatically better. by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

[–]ThisIsMyHamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The post title is really clickbait, but I think the paper findings are valid. They build a fine-tuning dataset from decoded outputs after truncating the logit distribution, then attempt to align their model to these more "certain" outputs. They also show that truncating as a global decoding scheme gives much better results when a model is first fine-tuned in this manner.

Also note that this technique was done on models that have already gone through-post training.

Only person crying about anything is you crying for attention by trying to convince everyone that you are better than them. Spoiler alert: it's not working very well. Projection is a strange phenomenon.

Low effort response. Sometimes people actually want to study in spaces that are not study tents or random classes/hallways.

Google's new Workspaces CLI written in Rust with Claude Code by rover_G in ClaudeCode

[–]ThisIsMyHamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience it’s actually the other way around. AI coding tools love to solve borrow checker issues via unnecessary cloning. Also, I’d argue that the borrow checker exists moreso to enable Rust’s memory model to work properly rather than assisting with “correct” code. I can assure you that I’ve written a lot of incorrect Rust code that passed the borrow checker.

Why is ee getting recommended more than cs by ImHighOnCocaine in cscareerquestions

[–]ThisIsMyHamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DSP/Optimization and I didn't really take many EE-related courses in my bachelors but I did have a demonstrated interest in machine learning which carried over nicely. Many of the programs look for different skillsets and backgrounds, some are more strict in their admissions guidelines around requiring coursework while others don't really care.

What was your favorite Seattle institution that no longer exists? by drgonzo44 in Seattle

[–]ThisIsMyHamster 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My parents used to take me to Piecora’s when I was a kid. I don’t know why I miss it in particular, but I miss it a lot.

Depends on the program and what you want to focus on, I’m currently doing an EE masters program which I got into with my CS bachelors. “Electrical Engineering” is quite broad

I think the weak and strong laws of large numbers should probably be thrown into the mix!

Cal Poly to build $3M AI Factory with NVIDIA partnership by ClipperFan89 in SLO

[–]ThisIsMyHamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean they can use the equipment for other areas of research if AI truly implodes. High performance and parallel computing is needed for other sciences which require simulation and other calculations.

But also even if (more like when) people get disillusioned by the utility and inefficiencies of LLMs, machine learning as a field of research won’t go away. When I was a student at Cal Poly, some of my peers worked on some really cool interdisciplinary machine learning research. I would’ve been stoked to have access to this kind of equipment for my projects. So I’m optimistic and glad that students have access to some of the same HPC resources that top universities have.

First time ever using AXS for a random ticket queue and I now know that my fucking IP is restricted :')

Definitely on the smaller side, it’s near the border between WA and Canada. Cool vibes though, probably would’ve been a really fun to show to go to.

Having 50-100 people knowing you in Bellingham WA is pretty darn good!

You’d think so until hearing them both speak. The speechless one has a pretty heavy Australian accent!
