Noticed that Copilot feels less useful in .ipynb files compared to .py 🤔 🤔 Could it be the bloated .ipynb markup format? It's also why version-controlling these files is such a pain. Surely there’s a way to make Copilot strip the clutter.

Just moved my web-based object detector app from a cloud instance to HuggingFace Spaces ❤️, and updated the interface to Gradio✨(prev HTML/CSS + JS mess 🦖) Also, decided to check the upload trend over the years. Didn't expect it to gain this traction👀 v-iashin.github.io/detector

Curious about how the newly released GPT-4's VQA capabilities will improve the online experience for visually impaired individuals.

Today marks one year since Putin's senseless war in Ukraine began. My heart goes out to the Ukrainian people who have suffered greatly. It's time to end this horrendous conflict! We must work towards a peaceful resolution and support Ukraine in its pursuit of sovereignty.

With the emergence of new chatbots like ChatGPT, text scraped from the web may become less useful for training LLMs. At least, the 'fake/real' classifier will be a necessary part of the pre-processing pipeline.

I was taught that we have to remember WW2 and celebrate Victory Day every year to avoid such things from happening again. All these hypocritic parades and monuments on every second square in a town – "Remember" "Never joke around." Today the same people start the war.

Recently I had to take IELTS (high-stakes 🇬🇧 exam). It was my 2nd time and now computer-based (on-premise and w/ f2f speaking). Got 8/9. Confirming that the latest Cambridge IELTS books are the best to practice the structure. This conceited smile on the registration photo tho…

Leaving your for-loop outside of a function in Python makes it ~50% slower 😱. The issue has to do w/ the variable scope. Locals are stored as a fixed-sized array (fast indexing), globals as dicts (slower). Besides, 🐍 makes opcode prediction: squeezing several bytecodes into one

I'm keen on the opportunity to check out the NeurIPS paper reviews once I read one and formed an opinion of my own. These're useful as a fairly educated take on both pros and, most importantly, cons that are often only somewhat evident just from 1 pass. But mind the survival bias

Once I couldn't ssh to my machine. I forgot the tensorboard under tmux for 2 days and it ate up all RAM. It was running over the unchanged folder. Since then I prepend the cmd: `timeout 10h tensorboard…` (auto kill after 10h). Decided to share it because it just happened again

During this week I am writing for @dsunderhood (a collective Twitter account hosted by a new author each week). I will talk about coding, gym, Open Data Science, Finland, Ph.D., gym, and random stuff. It is in Russian but you can try to translate it using Twitter or Google Chrome
