Yes, this seems to be a common capability - Anthropic and Mistral have something very similar as do resellers like AWS Bedrock. I guess it lets them better utilise their hardware in quiet times throughout the day. It's…
Meta's primary business is capturing attention and selling some of that attention to advertisers. They do this by distributing content to users in a way that maximizes attention. Content is a complement to their content…
I find this style changes the way I think about and write code transformations. It's also in shell pipelines, R's magrittr, and Clojure's thread macros, and can be emulated in some OO languages with methods that return…
I have seen it work better than LSH. Each time you embed a document you search for approximate nearest neighbours before adding it, so it is O(N) like MinHash. Vector indexes like HNSW and PQ have better…
It covers a lot of the fundamentals in some detail (attention and transformers, decoding, transfer learning) that are underneath current cutting edge NLP; this is still a very good foundation likely to be good for…
> Maybe my data structure has a hash table of items, as well as a direct link to the largest item. When I say: "write the function to insert a new item in the list, and remember to update the largest item if it is…
With the prompt // Print the fibonnaci sequence, except the number 5. int main() { I got the result: int a = 0; int b = 1; int c = 0; while (c < 100) { c = a + b; a = b; b = c; if (c != 5) { cout << c << endl; } }…
This happened in mathematics about a decade ago when Wolfram Alpha came out. Lecturers started complaining that Wolfram Alpha could solve assignment problems with worked steps. In both cases I think this is a real…
These issues are often interactions between packages. I use TRAMP daily without freezing, but only when I disable company mode in shell modes. VSCode certainly requires much less of this tweaking, even with a variety of…
The killer feature of racket is it is very easy to make Domain Specific Languages (including the teaching language) and related tooling. However last time I looked the library ecosystem didn't seem great; there were…
Kaluza-Klein theory is an attempt to exhibit a transformation that charged particles travel on "straight" lines in a 5-dimensional space. The fifth dimension is supposed to be a very small circle. There are some…
I'm the same; I use evil-mode in emacs and find the friction of switching between them small.
I've thought about a variant of this with Baking Pi [1]. That takes you through assembly to the point of having a Raspberry Pi with a minimal terminal (with just an external USB driver the author wrote). I think it…
This may make sense if you want to do image processing and deep reinforcement learning. But there are lots of other domains. For tabular data (which is probably most relevant in Pharma, and probably the best place to…
If you like books and you want to deeply understand ML techniques I'd suggest jumping straight into "Introduction to Statistical Learning" and only learning calculus/stats/matrix methods (linear algebra) as you need…
Without experience in ML it's often hard to know what problems are solvable, how to frame the problem, and to tell a good solution in Github from a bad one, etc. If you want to go an applied route I'd suggest starting…
They do mention Penrose notation in the linked arxiv paper[1], as well as Cvitanović's Birdtracks[2] which let you do calculations on representations of groups. They claim they're making it more accessible with…
Circa 2009 I worked on an application that would render maths tests for teachers using plain TeX. I'm sure there are a few other wild examples (my CV is in eplain TeX).
My experience is pip and virtualenv (or venv in 3.3+) works pretty well in both interactive and deployment contexts. My main gripe is Pip doesn't resolve conflicts between downstream dependencies (which I could only get…
This is missing the most important difference - deployability. R was built as a language to use interactively and does things like raise warnings for things that should be errors, requires an external package (packrat)…
I hope that you're wrong because it's solving the wrong problem. A compatibility interval (at an agreed upon arbitrary level) communicates the magnitude of the difference as well as the uncertainty, which makes it much…
The details are even hairier. He wrote TeX82 (modern TeX) in WEB, a literate programming language he invented that could be tangled into the Pascal machine code or weaved into literate documentation in ... TeX itself.…
I wonder whether using computers more (whether numerical or symbolic calculations) could remove some of the burden of understanding mathematical techniques and make this process smoother. Or maybe it would just obscure…
Absolutely. There are some known anomalies in particle physics (e.g. neutrino oscillations) but for the most part it is insanely robust. What's really hard is moving from these first principles to modelling real world…
Apache libcloud works well for more basic services (e.g. storand and compute) and is extending into container management services.
