Anthropic showed emotion vectors causally shift frontier model behavior. I ran a similar experiment on a 4B model on Colab. Partial replication — and the failures are the interesting part: https://t.co/fM0Bvci1Xz

Training LLMs at scale? Understanding all-reduce, all-gather and reduce-scatter is non-negotiable.
This guide breaks down collective ops in PyTorch - what they do, when to use them, and why they matter.

We are trying to hire 2 technical personnel (technicians, research assistants/associates) for really cool projects in regenerative biology and synthetic morphology. Need people with some experience w/ cell culture or histology/immunofluorescence. DM me w/ CV - let's talk!

@risi1979 @khoribe3 @katt_walker Very interesting paper! You may be interested in our regeneration model that also only needs local communication. It does not depend on damage location. The paper from 2016 presents the original model, this one adds stem cells and cell migration. https://t.co/P6MogJH5Uo

@vivobr Estou com um chamado aberto no site de vocês desde sexta (29/03). Existe atendimento pelo site?

[Giordano B. Ferreira @giordanobsf]

@LATAM_BRA não consigo buscar passagens pelo site de vocês desde ontem. Não tem erro, fica uma tela branca. Já limpei o histórico e tentei em vários navegadores e diferentes computadores. Vi que várias pessoas estão com o mesmo problema. Deem uma olhada nisso daí.

@SanDisk I ordered a MicroSDXC 128GB card but I was just informed that this item is out of stock. I can not wait for 1-3 weeks to get this. How could I cancel the order? Thank you.

Ultima Online Postmortem at #gdc18 is watchable to everyone for free! One of the most important games in my life. It is great to learn all those stories... Thank you @raphkoster @starr_long and @RichardGarriott https://t.co/waCQSsUcd5

@Lazer I haven't played Creatures 3, but the first blew my mind. I decided to look into alife stuff when I replayed it during my UG years. It is one of the most important games in my life for sure.

[Raph Koster @raphkoster]

Oh! Looks like Rolling Stone's @glixel ALSO wrote up our #gdc18 Classic Game Postmortem of Ultima Online! :) https://t.co/PB9jw4fabN
