@vfsglobalcare I'm facing an issue booking the appointment for my UK Visa application. The appointment page does not load and fails with error 429: Failed to get Response.

I'm applying from India. Could you tell me what could be causing this?

@abhisheknashier @OfficialDMRC @DCP_DelhiMetro Hi! I take the metro from Mandi daily and the skateboarders have not caused a problem. In fact, the commuters join the skateboarders to learn! It's a great public health project.

If you have an issue, please take it up with the community. I'm sure they'll listen :)

‼️New paper on auditing @elonmusk's early impact on Twitter‼️
- Hateful users became more hateful
- Hate increased dramatically
- There was no overall change in bots
Paper (accepted to ICWSM 2023) is here:

If you're hesitant about trying out Mastodon, there's a handy app called debirdify that will help you find the Mastodon accounts of those you follow on Twitter. It lowers the effort of getting started and populating your feed. The app is pretty smooth. https://t.co/4NakUSPbpN

Mastodon tip: I used https://t.co/jFg2g6s4DE to automatically go through the list of people I follow on Twitter & find the handles of those who are on Mastodon. It created a CSV file that I was able to upload to Mastodon so I could automatically follow those people. Very easy!

Literally cannot stand it anymore. Bye Twitter.

[arjun @arjbah]

I'm fucking done

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended

[DJ @DuaneJRich]

Ok people, I've finally released that thing you didn't know I was working on.

A technical, well-animated, dense, overly rehearsed, 6-part series on Reinforcement Learning.

@simraan98 It takes both courage and skill to be obvious in an insightful manner

[arjun @arjbah]

Been obsessed with state-space models ever since hearing Alex Gu's talk at the Music X AI reading group (run by @Mila_Quebec & @VectorInst)

They're so good with longer sequences!

[Scott Linderman @scott_linderman]

Following the weekend buzz about long range sequence modeling, let me tell you about our work on S5: a simple state space layer that achieves top-level performance and efficiency with parallel scans. (E.g. 98.58% on Path-X!) 🧵[1/12]

[Shubhro Saha @shubroski]

This weekend I built =GPT3(), a way to run GPT-3 prompts in Google Sheets.

It's incredible how tasks that are hard or impossible to do w/ regular formulas become trivial.

For example: sanitize data, write thank you cards, summarize product reviews, categorize feedback...

[AI Pub @ai__pub]

Meta AI releases Encodec, a high-fidelity neural audio compression model that beats state-of-the-art methods in all evaluation settings.

Our new work is out 😍!
An end-to-end 48kHz audio synthesizer capable of generating many types of sounds (with a bonus track for audio style transfer ✨)! Check it out: https://t.co/VU4Zx3rW5h !

Yet another @openai Whisper + #pyannote.audio hack. I’m seeing a trend here…

[Adrian Edmondson ❎ @AdrianEdmondson]

This obsession with ‘working hard’ and ‘hard working families’ is depressingly Victorian. We live in an age of machines that can do all that stuff for us. People should be having more diverse and more fulfilled lives, not grinding away until they die.
