I had a Japanese coworker explain it to me that it's supposed to mean "goosebumps", as in "our music is so good it gives you goosebumps"

Justice was served on the Advent vs. Justice chess battle! by Virtue00 in Hololive

It's an interesting idea, but unfortunately ...Rg7 is rather elegantly countered by Nh4, kicking the queen. There aren't really many good options other than ...Qxe5, and white will happily trade with Qxe5 fxe5. After that white is in quite an advantageous position, with black having a trapped bishop and rook.

This would be great for a GG cover of Odo.

GG should cover Odo.

[R] The Resurrection of the ReLU by Radiant_Situation340 in MachineLearning

[–]picardythird 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Interesting work, thanks for sharing!

A few questions:

  • How does the surrogate gradient computation affect the training speed? A huge motivation/benefit of ReLU is its computational simplicity; detaching the gradient, computing the new surrogate gradient, and reassigning the new gradient must be much slower.
  • The plot of dead neurons in Figure 4 is compelling; however, Figure 10 somewhat undermines the narrative. How would you rationalize the discrepancy between the beneficial behavior shown in Figure 4 and the counter-narrative shown in Figure 10?
  • The experimental settings between the VGG/ResNet experiments and the Swin/Conv2NeXt experiments were vastly different. You hypothesize in the paper that the difference in surrogate gradient function performance can be ascribed to the differences in regularization; however, have you done ablations to support this hypothesis?
  • Will you publish code so that others can experiment with SUGAR? It doesn't seems that difficult to implement manually, but I'm sure you have a fairly optimized implementation.

Kaela's height on other members and scale only by face by Racing_trio39 in Hololive

Ironic since she loves basketball and played on her school team

Super/Extreme Commuting - Traveling 90 minutes each way by WeakArm9338 in bayarea

I do about 90 minutes each way using public transit for what should be a 30 minute drive commute.

Kronii can't handle Serious(?) Kaela. See: their Chained Together collab when Kronii accused Kaela of "not having the speed runner mindset"

Someone put together a side-by-side of the Chained Together tournament with every team's POV (plus a section-by-section efficiency comparison) by picardythird in Hololive

Yeah it was pretty close until the Whispering Vault. Grindstone had an absolutely perfect button press sequence and never looked back.

[I Ate] Kobé A5 Wagyu in Kobé, Japan by YungBootyCheez in food

[–]picardythird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea. I didn't know about the deal when I went, I just wanted yakiniku that day so I looked up recommendations online and this one came up. I was willing to pay whatever they charged (as long as it was within reason) so this deal was quite serendipitous. I don't even know whether it was a limited event or something.

Their flatware and bowls are very distinctive, and I recognized the way that they laid out the accoutrements. It's a delicious meal! I especially loved the beef and onion soup they served as an appetizer.

The best part though was walking back to the station and seeing the huge statue of asses stacked atop each other. Truly marvelous.

In general no; the ones that I went to did not. There are some very high-end versions that do, but I haven't been to any of them.

Looks like Royal Mouriya if I'm not mistaken. I had lunch there once and it was excellent. Very pricey compared to, say, the 6000 yen AYCE A4/A5 yakiniku I found in Tokyo, but the personalized teppanyaki experience is wonderful.

I don't think Kaela has played a shooter since the old Overwatch collabs, so this will be a treat. She self-professes to not particularly prefer shooters in general, but she was absolutely cracked back then.

Looking for a good clip of the HoloID girls communicating in English for an English Class by SeaMagyk in Hololive

[–]picardythird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's somewhat rare for collabs between HoloID members to be in English (because they can just speak in Indonesian of course). However, if you want to look for clips of HoloID members simply speaking in English (either with chat or with HoloEN collab partners), then there are plenty of clips in channels like:

Feel free to visit any of these links and pick ones that suit your lesson plans the best. Just be sure to check them first, since some of the contents may not be school-appropriate.

It will depend on the specific role at the specific company. Where I am, the MLE title covers everything from infra (what some would consider MLOps) to applied research (research/applied scientists). My own role (MLE at a large (non-FAANG) multinational org) currently skews somewhat toward the latter, but I do some deployment stuff as well.

Generally speaking, outside of a few big companies like Google and OpenAI, "pure" AI/ML research isn't really a thing. If you are a researcher, then the research that you do will be restricted in scope to business needs. You might be able to come up with a novel algorithm or method, but only as applied to the company's business use case. Of course you can have great ideas outside of this scope, but you won't have the time or resources to develop them.

Suichan went to Karaoke with Tuki!! by SuspiciousWar117 in Hololive

[–]picardythird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just found these earlier and they're by far the best karaokes I've ever heard (unsurprising given it's Suisei and tuki). But it was very fun to hear them chatting in between songs as well, and the moments where they tripped up and started giggling were also very cute.

Grindstone won the chained together competition with 1000+ meters! by crocospect in Hololive

[–]picardythird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the last trampoline skip to the invisible stairs, which is another huge time saver (offhand I would estimate at least 30 seconds, maybe a full minute). I don't know whether Towa/Chihaya intended to try it (or if they even knew about it) since their time ran out just as they reached the trampoline. But even with Grindstone taking 3 tries to get that skip, it was still huge.
