*Alice's book got a (minor) upgrade!* Thanks to the dozens of people who gave feedback, now with 1000% less typos and errors, a novel set of Colab lab sessions, and a brand-new CC-BY-SA license. 🙃 sscardapane.it/alice-book/
I can't* fathom why the top picture, and not the bottom picture, is the standard diagram for an autoencoder. The whole idea of an autoencoder is that you complete a round trip and seek cycle consistency—why lay out the network linearly?
This reminds me of the test for engineer vs non-engineer: get them to pronounce "coax" (currently rereading 'What is applied category theory?' 1809.05923 , linked tweet is footnote 8)

In era of pretraining, what mattered was internet text. You'd primarily want a large, diverse, high quality collection of internet documents to learn from. In era of supervised finetuning, it was conversations. Contract workers are hired to create answers for questions, a bit…

Are we really running out of data??? No. We're just not using it correctly. The solution: let the model learn which data it needs to learn!!! 1/n
Today we're putting out an update to the JAX TPU book, this time on GPUs. How do GPUs work, especially compared to TPUs? How are they networked? And how does this affect LLM training? 1/n

Just ran across an old post from a former intern about Jane Street's approach to programming and code review. I thought it was a pretty accurate, and I think captures something important about how OCaml's design makes code review easier and more effective.
Idea for possible regularisation: per-frame: image segmentation to get subject, then depth estimation Then point cloud extraction over frame sequence via arxiv.org/abs/2310.07630 and use loss function based on reference point cloud
