@DarioAmodei Committing to embedded safety evaluators the same month you cut @AISecurityInst out of a frontier release is a strange way to ask to be trusted on verification.

the thinking that "everyone will just vibe code their own software" was born from within a bubble

what's happening to software development right now has happened many, many times before to other things. you just need to look

web 2.0 allowed everyone to write blogs. did everyone write blogs?

instagram allowed everyone to share beautiful photos. did everyone share beautiful photos?

tiktok allowed everyone to make short videos. did everyone make short videos?

now vibe coding allows everyone to build software, and you think everyone will start building software? this time around, people are just different?

the mainstream is always a consumer, never a creator. go talk to some people outside of our tech bubble and you'll see - they literally don't give a f about vibe coding

@lilianweng I've learnt a lot from your blogs. Thanks for speaking up about startup stress so openly.

[Sindhu V @batw0man]

@JFPuget @lifeofjer Don't shoot the messenger 😂 But tbh, some guardrails and best practices (even for startups) need to be in place before giving agents full control. Or they should be fine with taking the hit when prioritising speed over reliability.

[Sindhu V @batw0man]

@JFPuget @lifeofjer They do mention somewhere they wouldn't have stored their tokens if they had known it could be used for prod DBs too. Still begs the question of why give full reign to agents when startup environments are known to be not-standardised by definition.

@SamFAHntha @Sudipta_Sharmin @Ananya_Evanstan @sumedhainglife I genuinely thought they were going to announce an India tour after that sketch. Would've been so pissed since I just moved to UK 🤣🤣

NN loss landscapes are full of permutation symmetries, ie. swap any 2 units in a hidden layer. What does this mean for SGD? Is this practically useful?

For the past 5 yrs these Qs have fascinated me. Today, I am ready to announce "Git Re-Basin"!

If it was physically possible for me to feel sorry about a meme it would be just about now.

This latest release for Transformers Interpret (v0.8.1) brings some features I'm really excited about particularly the new pairwise classification explainer. (1/8)

@Chinmayi Sad indeed. But in fairness, Johnny Depp heavily publicised his trial and the response and subsequent rejoice were proportionally larger.

2021: we can’t reproduce big lab’s research because we don’t have a 1000 GPUs
2022: we can’t reproduce this research because we don’t have a nuclear reactor.

@akilan27 Upto 3 vowels in the first guess is ok. But you have to filter consonants as well. Also adieu has barely any scope for greens except "i" maybe.

[Sindhu V @batw0man]

Don't eliminate just vowels. Eliminate character bigrams (Think ch, st ) as well. Also Adieu is an awful first guess. 😝

In 2021, I trained 693 models over 239 hours. I tuned 5 hyperparameters per model on average. Get insights on your model training with @wandb! #myyearwrapped

And I only started using WandB by late August.

@DrmChennai @GMSRailway @GMSWR Any updates on 12008 (4:15 pm Shatabdi from Bangalore to Chennai)? I see the morning train (12028) on this list.
