@jack Worked with half and full duplex (a lot)

Bravo

Would love to do a deep dive on this - full duplex on tool calling, chaining requests over long running sessions is where I find the a moshi like based backbone to fall over.

LoRA remains my top choice among the various effective finetuning methods for LLMs. I've just developed and shared a "LoRA From Scratch" implementation here: https://t.co/ZrMj29wadM.

This is a hands-on approach to building LoRA from the ground up, which is, in my opinion, a great way to learn.

Additionally, there's a @LightningAI Studio available for those interested in experimenting with the code in this article. This also includes scripts for optimizing various LoRA hyperparameters.

Plastic trash interceptor could be a very effective intervention to prevent plastic getting into our rivers and oceans. CM Thiru @mkstalin has just sanctioned the TN Coastal Restoration Mission for 14 coastal districts in TN at a cost of Rs 1675 Crores. We will work on several initiatives like plastic trash interceptors to prevent plastic pollution. Video credits - @TheOceanCleanup @WorldBankIndia @gigadgets_

@HarryStebbings In my generation, all the successful founders I met had done candy arbitrage when they were kids. (You know, buy for a dime at the grocery store, Sell for a dollar at school the next day). I continue to think that it’s a genetic marker for entrepreneurship.

Nobody knows anything.

True of Hollywood, true of Silicon Valley, true of anywhere innovation takes place. No one knows if your idea will work or not before you actually collide it with reality and try it out.

So start testing today.
