ML researcher. Mostly interested in how learning works

I now appreciate the importance of fundamentals, and have started tracing back all those things I forgot to learn and understand well. I've made a fool of myself enough times believing I'll remember things forever. Today I'm making sure I won't ever forget (by ankifying) the properties of a vector space

@learning_mech @dhruvakarkada Well deserved beer!
Would be cool to make an algorithm to incrementally construct 'whatever' shape. Given a bag of words forming a shape, to find and add one more wherever it best fits the 2D PCA. You could surprise Dhruva with a 'dhruva' plot

An interesting thing I'm noticing with LLMs is that they're making punchlines low signal. Still don't know why tho

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@palashshah Probably talking about the IPFC, the part of the brain that you cook and then lose executive control. Apparently you can train that by just keep it cooking it

@vboykis True! Parsing my PDFs seem to be harder than finding CRISPR 2.0

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@pcshipp Yep. It built my meteorological predictor in an hour, and I have two 4 hour blocks scheduled to understand what it did and how achieved that RMSE

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@mathelirium Increasingly been hearing this (and agree). There has to be a better system out there in someone's mind, but haven't heard it. I think we are prepared to start thinking about a new way of science contribution

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@YashHustle_22 That's just 99% true

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@jasonfried Great, similar idea to Derek Sivers' “There’s No Speed Limit”
It's a 5min read and a masterpiece!

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@Cristina_AC_X Really good last take! 'Good luck automating the human need for status'

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@ziv_ravid TLDR; interesting lead, function unknown

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@bryan_johnson Would be great to contact those ppl who are above you and make a lil video with them

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@willdepue We all humans will suffer this. So we will have each other, which is the only thing that mattered in the first place

[Ian P @implicit_p]

Feels like status is going to shift even further from money to social standing

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@misraetel Yep. Definitely how you would talk to a past version of you

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@Hesamation Is the word stoke hot right now?

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@cremieuxrecueil They put Witten to talk to gpt for an hour a day, and then it could prove Navier Stokes

[Ian P @implicit_p]

@AestherML It seems that he could retract. But he has an ego submanifold that makes him just double down and escape forward

@kenneth0stanley Stockastic-er parrots

@signulll There are people snorting powders
