Dreams are synthetic data. But why use data so unconnected from the real world? My answer is that it probably helps with overfitting to our daily lives.

@maharshii I’m enjoying getting to see you get your head around tensors and how they’d be implemented! Excited for more blog posts

[maharshi @maharshii]

"Tensors from Scratch" - I am publishing the first part of the blog series that will help a beginner understand and implement tensors in C from scratch, starting all the way from defining tensors and shapes!

[Mamad with Aberrancy @Mamadipine]

This book is a masterpiece!
What I really like about it is that it teaches you the concepts and ideas, shows you some pseudocode, and leaves the implementation to you in whatever language you prefer!

@IroncladDev I use Neovim, btw

@martinmrmar Always my Lamy 2000…
Beautiful pen

@MaxMynter @Deor @copbrick I did enjoy using tmux too. There’s just something about Zellij that feels a bit more ergonomic, otherwise they’re not entirely that different in functionality. It is written in Rust tho and I love using tools written in Rust…

[Abdullah Ahmad @2AUK_C]

@Deor @MaxMynter @copbrick I’d recommend checking out Zellij if you want a more modern multiplexer! I use it a lot with my neovim set up

[deor @Deor]

i wouldn't say the productivity boost is a raw one. its not because i am literally operating faster because of the time savings of keeping your hand on the keyboard and the efficient key binds.

but instead it feels a lot better to code for long hours

Wow this blows me away you can get roughly correct structure of pure electrolyte solutions out of this.

MLPs are so foundational, but are there alternatives? MLPs place activation functions on neurons, but can we instead place (learnable) activation functions on weights? Yes, we KAN! We propose Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN), which are more accurate and interpretable than MLPs.🧵

Diffusion models can be reformulated as equilibrium thermodynamical systems.

[Luca Palmieri @algo_luca]

Catching on @ThePrimeagen's stream from yesterday on Mojo vs Rust: he's right.

If Mojo delivers, we'll never see Rust in "userspace" for people working on AI.
The value proposition is just *too good* if you're an ML engineer or Data scientist who knows Python well.

[Prof Hevia 🇺🇦 @EvaHeviaGroup]

Very proud of our @NeilJudge1 for a stellar performance on the defence of his #PhD @DCBPunibern The #scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 party afterwards will go down in the history books! Thanks so much @albrecht_lab and Mike Hill @BathChem for taking part on the examination

Just published our latest work on pre-Born-Oppenheimer wave functions!
Actually, in a pure state, all molecules are spherically symmetric!
We showed how to recover the spherical symmetry using projection operators.

@adad8m I feel in English you can p much unambiguously say “No, I’ve never been there”

I think “Have you never been there?” is a more interesting case. I know old English had yes-no and yea-nay forms for affirmative and negative questions like this.
