@hassankhan Intel principal engineer pulls maybe 400k and they wonder why they've fallen behind

@cis_female container ships are measured in "gross registered tons" (sounds like a mass unit, is actually a volume unit) and "displacement" (sounds like a volume unit, is actually a mass unit)

[ILIAS ISM @illyism]

this project stores millions of text chunks inside a video file (mp4)

then runs sub-second semantic search on it
- no vector DB, no servers
- uses 10x less RAM & storage
- no internet required

it's called Memvid and it just broke my brain

@LauraDeming gotta separate kinetics and thermodynamics. thermo/stat mech only looks at conditions of equilibrium - an "attractor trajectory" is a kinetic process of one state transitioning to another, while thermo only looks at the end equilibrium state

@torchcompiled also real heads remember figure 8.1 from the Goodfellow book

[eigenspace @eigendecay]

@torchcompiled high dim critical points literally don't exist. "find a point where billions of parameters all have zero gradient" yeah right

plus grad norm is proportional to param norm - param norm can increase grad norm independent of loss. this is one reason you decrease lr over time

@bennpeifert scenario 3 but we implement at scale anyway because it generates shareholder value
