This is huge! @jcheng announced Shinylive for R at #positconf2023 🔥

Now you can:

1. Convert Shiny to static HTML/CSS/JS/wasm
2. Write Shiny apps directly in a browser
3. Embed Shiny as Quarto code chunks in other webapps

Mir hat das keine Ruhe gelassen.

Nach Rücksprache mit der Leiterin der Wahlkommission: Hier ist ein Fehler bei der Transkription des Ergebnisses passiert. Es ist zur Zeit nicht feststellbar, wem die eine Stimme gehört. Unklar, ob die Wahlkommission noch einmal zusammentritt.

incredible story here: Austria's centre-left SPÖ (the country's second largest party) announced the result of its leadership election two days ago... now they say an Excel spreadsheet error led them to announce the wrong candidate as the winner

Them: Since the good old days of the mid 20th century, a few people have gotten richer and everyone else has gotten poorer.

We also think that open source models are the only way for a broad acceptance of LLMs in our society (and regulators)

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Since AI base models are going to become a basic infrastructure, people (and the industry) will demand that it be open source.
Just like the software infrastructure of the internet.
Also, human feedback *must* be crowd-sourced, Wikipedia style, if we want those base systems to become the common repository of human knowledge.

I was in the confidential preview of the PaLM API, and now I can finally talk about it.

It's seriously underrated. A couple takeaways:

1. Programming ability is often better than ChatGPT.

2. Seems to be more regularly retrained. This has HUGE implications (continued):

This analysis should be in everyone's mind.

The tech sector's outperformance compared to the broader market has never been more extreme.

As shown in the chart below, the ratio between tech stocks and the S&P 500 is now over 2 standard deviations above the historical mean.

During other times when this indicator also reached such high levels, the tech sector significantly underperformed in the following decade.

It's unlikely that this time will be any different.

When discount rates experience a structural increase, valuations become more important, particularly when fundamental growth becomes stagnant.

This is pretty slick: LLMs integrated with Pandas.

You can:

• Run aggregations
• Automatically plot
• Easily chain GPT calls together
• Integrated w/ other LLMs, like StarCoder

Only a matter of time until we see more tight integrations like this.
