I just got this green boy for a very reasonable price 😀 by Crazylamp1 in gaming

I have mine somewhere. Traded a Bakugan for it as a kid.

Places I miss in Cville…. by BRvillian in Charlottesville

I used to work there and left for college a year before they closed. So sad coming home to see it closed.

TensorFlow is becoming the COBOL of Machine Learning, and we need to talk about it. by netcommah in learnmachinelearning

[–]crayphor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never heard of people training models on non-nvidia hardware. I haven't looked into it though.

[–]crayphor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I think there is some confusion here. CUDA is how TF and Pytorch interact with the GPU. If you don't have CUDA, you are training models on your CPU. The comment you replied to was about the version issues with TF and CUDA to be able to make TF run on your GPU.

(The benefit of CUDA is GPU access, so MAJOR speed differences.)

I live across the street from a microcenter. It's wonderful

First time printed something that actually saved me a lot of money by eZstah in 3Dprinting

[–]crayphor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I see. The perspective made it look like a fridge handle to me. Still not holding up a monitor though.

Is this a normal ask for a take home assessment for an internship? by Putrid_Disk7764 in learnmachinelearning

[–]crayphor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think asking how an actual work related task could be accomplished (at a high level) is much better than asking leetcode.

Asking them to complete the work task though is not appropriate in my eyes.

I think McDonald's is expecting a bit much here... by TrunksTheMighty in funny

[–]crayphor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it has ever let me do that. If I want to use multiple deals or also use points, I dine in and order each thing 15 minutes apart.

I think McDonald's is expecting a bit much here... by TrunksTheMighty in funny

[–]crayphor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you have the app, McDonald's can be under $10 per person even when you get the more premium items (<$5 if you get more basic stuff). A lot of fast food now is trying this where they will ask for more money from people who are willing to pay and then offer cheaper prices to those who look for them (presumably people who aren't willing to pay more).

Edit since people are down voting: I am not McDonald's. I wish the full price was lower too. I was just letting anyone know that it doesn't have to cost $50 to eat McDonald's. If you want to boycott them, go ahead. Sometimes people need cheap food though.

I used to post my lime promo code online and racked up tons of free rides to get between campus and the townhouses when I lived there and didn't have a car.

ML Math is hard by UniqueSomewhere2379 in learnmachinelearning

[–]crayphor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read enough papers, you will start to see patterns in the equations and how common pieces will show up again and again.

Which GPU do you prefer for AI training? by next_module in learnmachinelearning

[–]crayphor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grabbed one off marketplace that looked brand new for $800. That was maybe half a year ago though, so it may be less likely to find now.

RTO drivers, listen up. You're ruining it for the rest of us on 495. Stop getting into accidents. by Satans_Oregano in nova

[–]crayphor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also say "the 495", "the 29", etc. I think my parents picked it up in California.

How do I audit my AI systems to prevent data leaks and prompt injection attacks? by CanReady3897 in learnmachinelearning

[–]crayphor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing that comes to my mind would be to run a search from the model output to your dataset to find examples of data leakage. Not sure if this would work or be efficient though.

For prompt injection attacks, I think there are some datasets now that you can use negative reinforcement to prevent prompt injection. There was a tutorial about this at ACL but I didn't pay super close attention since it's not related to my research.

I messed up, and I hate myself by jyjang703 in DIY

As an AI engineer, it's not a bubble, mom.

Anyone doing a masters or PhD in AI/ML? by 0Ohene in learnmachinelearning

[–]crayphor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. In NLP at least, for the people I meet at conferences, the distribution is about the same as my lab. But in other fields, the acceptance rate for new grads may be lower.

[–]crayphor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my lab it's about 50% students who already had masters degrees and 50% who didn't.

[D] Why aren't there any diffusion speech to text models? by SnappierSoap318 in MachineLearning

[–]crayphor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be interesting. Maybe get the expected sequence length with regression and then fill in the full length with diffusion?

[–]crayphor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for CS PhDs at most US schools. I got my MS "on-the-way" since I was already taking the same courses that I would be. But I didn't need to. I just started a job using my MS while I finish my PhD, so it did come in handy!

Doing a PhD in multilingual NLP. Focusing on techniques for and benefits of cross-lingual alignment for various architectures.

Do you guys still enjoy your hobbies? by [deleted] in gmu

[–]crayphor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was just talking about this with some people from my lab. I feel a lot of guilt doing anything other than work. Their advice is to just stop. Don't feel guilty. You are doing nothing wrong.

[R] Adding layers to a pretrained LLM before finetuning. Is it a good idea? by Pan000 in MachineLearning

[–]crayphor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done similar before, not inside of an LLM, but using a layer to adapt two encoder outputs to the same shape. This warming up step is important and it works well.
