Vision transformers need registers!
Or at least, it seems they 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 some…
ViTs have artifacts in attention maps. It’s due to the model using these patches as “registers”.
Just add new tokens (“[reg]”):
- no artifacts
- interpretable attention maps 🦖
- improved performances!
🚨 Airbnb just eliminated its traditional product management function.
This is one of the boldest experiments in product management we have seen in quite some time.
→ Who’s going to own the roadmap?
→ Who will cross-functional teams collaborate with?
→ Who will be responsible for writing the team’s charter, focus problems, and metrics?
Brian has been posting Twitter threads of each of Airbnb’s two most recent product releases. So it sounds like the executives are re-taking over the roadmap.
And, presumably, engineering managers and designers will split the other tasks. It will be an interesting experiment to watch.
The crowd erupted in applause. Is there something broken with today’s product management? What do you think of the change?
If statisticians wrote papers like computer scientists:
“By leveraging logistic regression, we exploited linear algebra to capture a latent log-odds representation of the data, uncovering coefficients with SOTA p-values.”
* People ask LLMs to write code
* LLMs recommend imports that don't actually exist
* Attackers work out what these imports' names are, and create & upload them with malicious payloads
* People using LLM-written code then auto-add malware themselves

In 2020 Figma started hitting growing pains with their single managed Postgres database.
That means they managed to grow to a $2B company on a single mged instance.
I bet at they hired engineers around this time who grumbled about not picking a more ‘scalable’ tech.
AI Twitter is flooded with low-quality stuff recently. No, GPT is not “dethroned”. And thin wrapper apps are not “insane”. At all.
I feel obligated to surface some quality posts I bookmarked. Every one of them should've been promoted 10x, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

to daff (v) -- (1) run @fitzyfitzyfitzy's daff tool on a pair of CSV files. Not to be confused with "to diff (v)" which usually gives garbled output; (2) run @edwindjonge's daff::diff_data() on a pair of data frames.
