Amidst all the problems we are facing in this
pandemic, IITG admin doesn't bother to bat an eye on the students and all they care about is evaluation without any flexibility for the students in problem. #shameIITG #AuthoritarianIITG #IITGtorturestudents

@CMMadhyaPradesh से आग्रह है की जबलपुर के बच्चे को एयर एम्बुलेंस से सिलीगुड़ी से दिल्ली एम्स , या जहाँ उसे उपयुक्त इलाज हो सके शिफ्ट करा दीजिए। चीफ सेक्रेटरी जी को मैंने पेशेंट की डिटेल्स भेज दी है। मुझसे जो मदत संभव है, मैं ज़रूर करुगा। आप की कृपा की उम्मीद है। @JansamparkMP २/२

I had a HORRIFIC experience with a Rapido cab driver who harassed, threatened, and even tried to extort money from us. @RapidoCares, WAKE UP!

RL community should be in awe and shock from Eureka paper🫨. The idea here is that you feed the source code of environment to GPT-4 and ask it to write code for the reward function itself! Then you evaluate this reward function in simulation and provide your evaluation results back to GPT-4 so it can make improvements to the reward function!! You do this over and over and RL eventually ends up achieving super human results in lots of different challenges, all without human intervention!!!

I don’t know if folks still remember but companies with AGI ambitions were used to be all about RL just few years ago. But then something happened on the way and RL was relegated to just being a little cherry on the cake. It seems LLMs were the missing puzzle piece all along. If you had been listening carefully, you can almost hear that thundering sound of come back :).

The overall approach of generator synthesizing r_i, critic providing feedback f_i and then generator synthesizing r_i+1 is very reminiscent of actor-critic feedback loop at meta level. This already has so much foundational theory in place but rather underutilized in current setting. LLM instances themselves can be the world model, the agent and the critic while RL a mechanism that jointly improves all of them iteratively. The proverbial positive feedback loop of self-improvement might be just around the corner that allows us to go beyond human training data and capabilities.

@india_kawasaki Today again battery is not working. Is this the reliability you guys always talk about?

[Pranav Dhadnekar @Pranav_IITG]

@india_kawasaki My bike broke down twice within 1 mnth of purchase. On 8th July bike broke down, it was battery issue. Kawasaki Whitefield claim the warranty and changed the battery.
On 29th July, it was first service of the bike where they said battery is working fine.

Has anyone ever come across this way of visualizing the convolution of two functions f and g: Look at the graph of the two-variable function f(x)g(y), and consider diagonal slices over the line x + y = k.

The area of those slices represents (f * g)(k).

Iran’s Food & Drug Administration has ordered pharmacies to force their female staff to wear black veils at workplace. Iranian men are mocking this order and supporting their female colleagues by wearing hijab.
Compulsory hijab is the main pillar of a religious relationship. Together we will bring this wall down.

A short thread on higher dimensional spheres. Or what the volume of spheres have to do with (-1)^-i ?

A sphere is the collection of points with equal distance to it's centre.

In 2012 when a Hunger survey showed that 42% Indian children under 5 are underweight; almost double of sub-Saharan Africa.

The then PM Singh said, "I have said earlier on a number of occasions and I repeat that the problem of malnutrition is a matter of national shame.+

This meme might not be as simple as you think.

Most people get this one wrong.

Read this thread if you want to be one of the few that gets it right.

To “believe X” is basically the same as to “think X” (i.e., to give substantial credence to). But just to “believe” without an object seems to have connotations of unwarranted conviction, which has poisoned the former sense in certain circles.

It is utterly wondrous that the mathematical symbols we scratch out on blackboards and notepads can predict what happens as a baseball soars, as black holes collide, or as space swells.

Children who missed out on 2 years of education and had to work in fields or join the labour market to afford food, will now compete in entrance exams with those who could comfortably access online education from safer households. Then the latter will call it "merit".

The mere right of the public to change the “ruler” once every few years by itself need not be a guarantee against “tyranny: N.V. Ramana, Chief Justice of India.
