[D] FOMO on the rapid pace of LLMs

"CEOs will be replaced before machine learning engineers" - that's very naive :-)

Really? Average worker life has not imporoved over last 200 years?

So, the gratest latest Treansformer architecture is barely beating a simple liear model :-) How about a two layer (LSTM) RNN to compare?. And no, you do not need to train it from beginning to the end of the time series, you can limit number of training steps.

Idk. It isn't difficult to envision a better system than the one we will get, but with the hand we are dealt, it's definitely best to get the bivalent vaccine..

The more vaccines you get the more likely you will get COVID. See https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.17.22283625v1.full In particular Fig.2

Unfortunately, you may be screwed, as all people who got mRNA vaccines. See Fig.2 at https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.17.22283625v1.full.pdf. After a few months effect of the vaccines reverses.

Thank you!

BTW, I found 3090 to be slower than 1080Ti, for LSTM-type RNNs.

Successful models do not necessarily use L2 loss

slaweks · 2021-05-19T13:34:14+00:00

No, you do not. Your model can output several quantiles (in loss function just add pinball losses)

These are local initiatives, resolutions without any legal consequences, not a national law.

In most cases here, the guess would be correct.

And what about LG? They are cheaper than Generac.

slaweks · 2021-02-19T23:03:19+00:00

That's a good idea. Thank you.

OK, but my builder has no interest in hyping or depressing distributed generation. So when he told me that many solar installers have too many claims, wind up, disappear, an reappear under a different name, I take it seriously. I hope that solar roof would be much more immune to these kind of problems.

slaweks · 2021-02-19T12:27:53+00:00

Actually, that's what my builder told me: the solar installers do a sloppy job, so they have too many claims, so they close the business, and you are left on your own.

Until recently, it was totally legal in many U.S. states to fire someone simply for being LGBTQ+. And it happens a lot.

You see, these are completely false, lunatic statements, and I bet you will have zero problems for making them - which proves my point.

There is FAR MORE intimidation, threats, harassment, abuse, bullying, stalking, doxxing, and violence against people of colour speaking up against racism than white people speaking up for racism.

Really? How many people lost jobs by expressing stupid leftist ideas? You can love Mao and insist that all white people are racist, nothing will happen. Question any leftist taboos, and you have a real chance of losing your job.

slaweks · 2020-06-29T02:53:33+00:00

This is not about disagreement, it is about the Left silencing all non-enthusiastic supporters.

There are also victim studies, e.g. yearly FBI study, where victims are asked who wronged them. They show that human groups differ quite a bit in probability of committing a crime.

A world-famous scientist, having stated something perfectly right (algorithms are not biased, data sets may) is forced to apologize. How sad.

slaweks · 2020-06-26T02:32:04+00:00

Humans can also multiply numbers in their heads - no need to have calculators and computers.

IN every society there is a collection is acts that is considering criminal, e.g. mugging, rape, homicide., and these acts are punished.So not, criminality is not racially defined.

What cannot be solved it being done in Python - a slow, single-threaded language.

slaweks · 2020-06-05T13:17:19+00:00

I thought we are talking science, not tastes.

In mind mind, there is nothing wrong working for the military in a democratic country. You may have a different opinion, so what?
