What kind of research happens outside academia-attached labs like JPL and outside MIC firms like lockheed/boeing?

Isn't most of the actual aerospace R&D work contracted out?

Yep, all models today still need prompting that requires some expertise. Same with context management, it also needs both domain expertise as well as knowing generally how these models work.

Yeah, I think it's a super neat way to do MTP. Conceptually much more pleasing and simple than existing methods. Especially since this way scaling `k` as models get better will be easier. Wish it…

Didn't know about qmd. I use a mix of markdown notes, an sqlite database, and my image store searchable by text. I use immich. For now I do it manually by giving it skills for each data store I w…

Yeah, at previous work we used both as well. The transition from prom to vm was "ongoing" and from the time I joined to the time I left we did parallel writes to both. Never faced issues wit…

Yep. I had posted a comment earlier detailing my usecases. But I too replaced that with my own system that does those same things. It's way too bloaty, felt like operating windows start menu sear…

Sure, but given the choice to not have down syndrome, I'm sure they will choose it. Were they given the choice? Not as a hypothetical. But in front of their eyes.

Tbh. The accuracy of translation is, while much better than prior methods, not that great yet. For tamil atleast.

Eh. There is nothing diffusion about this. Nothing to do with denoising. This setup is still purely causal, making it quite a dishonest framing IMO. There is no more introspection here than what happe…

I guess their point is that of all possible industrial usecases, data centers are the least obnoxious one. I live in one of the countries that actually manufactures things, unlike the US, and I find i…

The copilot executable and the edge executable are actually the same! It looks at argv[0] to decide which to show you. You can move mscopilot.exe to msedge.exe, it still opens edge. And vice versa.

I wanted this as well. Even asked about it at an openai talk. Basically a way to get the KV cache to the client (they can encrypt it if they care about me REing it, make a compressed latent if they do…

Funerals are huge in india too. It runs for 13 days in some communities. To be clear, the actual cremation happens immediately, but the funeral ceremonies continue for 13 days after that. Most of the …

> So minimising the cross entropy over theta is the same as maximising KL(P,Q) Minimising*

IMO, it's an expectations vs reality thing. The marketing still goes on about continuous inherent improvement due to the model itself, whereas most improvements today are due to better scaffoldin…

The law is pretty much redundant here. Even if he was connection-less, reserved, etc, the same problem would have happened. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47668009 …

The admin behaviour is expected in the Indian context. See my other comment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47668009 …

Quite the personality this kid, I must say. The admin behaviour is expected in an Indian context, provided you behave the way this guy did. I am not saying it's good to snatch the guys phone, but…

This is why I built nvim from source, and git pull plugins into the pack directory. I think it's even a static binary. Whatever changes I need I git pull. After they added LSP I have not wished f…

There's an obvious baseline which seems missing If you sample from the base model with T=1.6, top_k=20, top_p=0.8, i.e, the decode settings used for the distillation's ground truth, does it …

I do the same in my 20s :) We actually had a newspaper at home and I used to sneak a peek, atleast the sports page. But that stopped during Covid and we never renewed it... No one in the house is miss…

Fairly certain they already do, atleast on mobile.

Lol. Windows update in space has to be a banned torture method.

I know that... I didn't say Q learning is not model-free. Do you seriously think a writer of that post would think model-free RL means "not training a model at all"? > Dreamer Especi…

Gell man amnesia

I suppose this will lead to a classic torvalds rant. I will be watching r/linusrants

In india, most of the firings happened in OFSS, Database and OCI. That seems to be a bit of contradiction to your thesis no? OCI is their golden goose now for example.

Usually deep Q learning is found in libraries where you function-approximate Q with a NN, which I alluded to in one of my later paragraphs (the approximation one).
