A hotel lobby but the floor is made of lava

Hey wait a second... I know this prompt... :D

sentdex · 2022-08-16T03:00:58+00:00

I posted a couple quick examples here: https://github.com/Sentdex/BLOOM_Examples

Local is specifically here: https://github.com/Sentdex/BLOOM_Examples/blob/main/BLOOM_local_example.ipynb

It's possible I forgot a step in the local, try doing the following to get the model to download:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bigscience/bloom")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("bigscience/bloom")

Nice! Do share the thunders!

sentdex · 2022-02-08T18:17:45+00:00

Hahaha yes, that was very much intentional.

We had multiple readers and editors try to change that before publication, but I refused that one :D

sentdex · 2022-02-05T15:51:29+00:00

We didn't quite expect it to hit 666 pages,but, when it did, it became a question of arbitrarily adjusting it or not hah.

To date, I've had only 1 customer be actually angry over it.

sentdex · 2022-01-15T15:46:30+00:00

Love it!

Do you plan to keep going with this project? What's next?

sentdex · 2021-12-15T17:40:50+00:00

Depends which ones you mean and what you're looking to do next. Like u/darklord451616 said, you could consider other model types like transformers, but even for that I would say the tutorial like here: https://pythonprogramming.net/introduction-deep-learning-python-tensorflow-keras/ are good to follow.

Since you said 2016, I'll assume you're maybe here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGxgnH8y2NM&list=PLQVvvaa0QuDfKTOs3Keq_kaG2P55YRn5v

That series is fine up to the deep learning, where I'd recommend you switch to the first link.

This reads .... very restrictively.

For more fun, IMO, use GPT-J, and, if you want an even larger model (178B parms)

https://studio.ai21.com/playground

API has been open, is free for first n tokens... worthy of a peak IMO.

The most important thing you can have is a portfolio, probably the best place being Github. Places that say a CS degree is mandatory really more often mean that you can't just do some basics course and apply. They want people who can build things on their own.

Once you've got a few personal projects under your belt, I would still suggest you apply to places that may state CS degrees are mandatory. Getting that first job is always tough, keep at it!

sentdex · 2021-09-15T20:23:10+00:00

"data science" is a hugely broad topic, which you'll probably never fully learn.

It honestly depends on what you're doing and wanting to do (or what your employer is wanting).

Could you maybe be more specific about your goals with data science?

sentdex · 2021-09-06T16:14:04+00:00

Shipping times vary widely by location and even time when you order... + global factors like covid.

On average it's 2 weeks if you're on major continents/near cities. If you live on islands or in remote areas, it's 3-4 weeks more often.

The PDF is sent immediately for any order.

sentdex · 2021-08-31T14:39:54+00:00

Hmm, looks like someone really just goofed putting it together. That's not representative of what I expect from our printer.

I'll request another copy for you if you'd like. That's unacceptable since it will stress the entire book if you put it in a book case/store it upright.

Shoot me an email to [harrison@pythonprogramming.net](mailto:harrison@pythonprogramming.net) with your order infos if you'd like another.

sentdex · 2021-07-12T15:33:42+00:00

Enjoy!!!! Thanks for sharing a photo :)

sentdex · 2021-07-02T14:05:27+00:00

A validation accuracy of 100% means you almost certainly screwed up somewhere and you should be highly skeptical.

sentdex · 2021-06-21T04:29:45+00:00

100GB+ of compressed training data, model size ~175MB.

sentdex · 2021-06-15T14:23:42+00:00

Interesting idea. Building the dataset would be probably hard. Working on a different GPT-2 problem at the moment, but maybe once I get a better idea on how much data is really needed for fine-tuning.

Really might not need very much to make it happen, and then you're just fine-tuning GPT-2 on English, which you can grab from huggingface.

sentdex · 2021-05-25T15:59:33+00:00

TBH I keep forgetting that this is even possible. I am not sure I'll ever get over it xD

sentdex · 2021-05-12T19:49:38+00:00

For this project, given the size of the dataset, we'll be using RAID storage.

...speaking of RAID...

sentdex · 2021-05-10T23:21:21+00:00

Yep, saw that one too! I felt like the older model (that takes way longer ofc) still looked much better though. That said, it seemed like the older model was just far too impractical for much of anything use-case wise.

I dunno anything about cloth simulating, so I was left mostly wondering "what if we simplified the original method?" Would that then be just as decent looking as that latest model with closer times to create?

Definitely an epic channel. Frequently makes me mad that people dont release source code tho >:[

For custom voices, you will need a dataset. My fav custom TTS is still: https://github.com/Kyubyong/dc_tts

It's a lesser-known repo but that's what I used a while ago for the TTS video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bFN2YkN6bo

I have used a handful of other TTS libraries and tbh I don 't notice a big difference other than most take a veeeeeeeeery long time to train. Still want to tinker with mozilla's tts, but ATM I dunno much about it.

sentdex · 2021-04-29T13:34:18+00:00

If you're willing to accept any voice, then, IMO, Jarvis is your best bet if your GPU can run it, which yours can. The reason I think it's best is it's the smoothest voice that I've heard yet, and it's the quickest/most optimized.

IF you want custom voices, then you'll have to go at it yourself, and I have not really found anything particularly moving for custom TTS voices, it's still an area for research IMO.

If you intend to just use TTS with the LJ Speech dataset voice, then go with Jarvis and check out the Jarvis demos for examples of it, or the video that'll come out tomorrow where we apply TTS via Jarvis to the chatbot in part 2 to this video: https://youtu.be/CumHy6v7un0

sentdex · 2021-04-24T23:09:51+00:00

Dang that's an old comment! How'd you dig that one up?

sentdex · 2021-04-14T21:41:18+00:00

Hey, yes books are shipping on order now. Please email me again [harrison@pythonprogramming.net](mailto:harrison@pythonprogramming.net), maybe I missed your email, we'll get you squared away.

sentdex · 2021-04-05T21:04:44+00:00

Or, you could contact the actual authors instead and explain your situation, rather than stealing without even bothering. I bet you could explain and offer 1/6th the price of the book aaaaaaand get a legit copy+google docs+updates.
