I have been wondering how people at large interct with Hugging Face. I think I am part of a bubble where my posts reach people like me, who know HF and the products we have. This time around I want to reach more general people, who might have started their career in AI, or are hobbyists, or do not know about AI at all (or just have not used it).

If you are one of them, and are reading this post, please spare a few minutes and share what you know about Hugging Face and how do you (or intend on) using it. This would help me a lot in shaping my communication in the platform. Thanks in advance. 🤗

[Apart Research @apartresearch]

What a weekend.

Thank you to every speaker and hub behind the Global South AI Safety Hackathon.

A few hours left to submit:

lowkey one of the best things about ML right now is how many legit research paths exist outside the traditional PhD route

- MATS
- OpenAI Residency
- Anthropic Fellows
- DeepMind Student Researcher
- ML Collective
- FAR. AI
- Mila
- INSAIT
- EleutherAI
- Redwood Research
- Apart Research
- Encode
- AI2, LAION
- Berkeley BAIR
- Stanford SAIL
- MIT CSAIL
- Vector Institute
- HuggingFace also quietly has some insanely strong open source contributors btw

stupidly exciting time to be in ML if you genuinely like building and researching things

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

The post is open-source.
So if you think there's a missing bus, feel free to contribute here: https://t.co/51eBYX4b9w
P.S. I'd appreciate stars on my repo too. ;)
Thanks!

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

Someone asked me today, "which buses go from Baruipur to Mukundapur?"
I didn't know. Google didn't give a simple answer either, and I realized this shouldn't be this hard. 56% of the Kolkata population relies on buses for daily commute.

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

So I built a website that allows you to find routes for buses from any point A to point B.
It's simple, but if it even helps a single person, I'd be happy. Let me know what you think!

@ariG23498 Unfortunately I'm in Cape Town atm. Will miss this one. Hope it goes well!
I'll try to make it to the next one!

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

This is amazing. Deliberate on anything!

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

@cneuralnetwork You should read about sycophancy. Funny how I thought it was only applicable to LLMs

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

Can I call myself a researcher now?

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

I'm going to Cape Town!

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

@ariG23498 "just use uv"

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

@ariG23498 Your call honestly. Depends on the type of crowd you're trying to find. I think floating the form again may bring in more people, it's just logistically harder.

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

@EsbenKC What's wrong now?

[Akash Kundu @Akash190104]

@opinion Interesting.
