recently, i’ve been thinking about ways to design ai systems to be more compatible with slow thinking 🐌.

This is so hilarious.

Nothing can make Sam and Dario hold hands, not even the Prime Minister of India!

What? Pre-training? No, no, no, no. No pre-training. Why would you do pre-training?!

If you do pre-training, people will ask "HOW MANY TOKENS?" And it will never be enough. The model that was the frontier breakthrough becomes "just distillation from chatgpt"

But if you just do SFT, some RL on benchmarks? You're efficient. You're doing *reasoning*.

It's not about capabilities, it's about the benchmark score. And who tops the leaderboard? Labs doing RLFT on a Chinese frontier base.

just remembered that time Noam Shazeer dropped the hardest line ever written in an ML paper

@GarrettRMooney Use C++, fastest 😂

[Kaung @kgmonkhin]

@GarrettRMooney Use MUM for “data efficient” learning 😅

[Kaung @kgmonkhin]

Well.. time to go buy the lottery. I saw 2 hash collisions in real life after 44 trillion calculations #hashcollision

[Kaung @kgmonkhin]

@GarrettRMooney Don’t think it’s your problem 🤣 you shouldn’t have been able to bring down the entire platform 😛 it’s an engineering problem

[Kaung @kgmonkhin]

@GarrettRMooney Cronyism* 😝

@GarrettRMooney Tensorflow or Bust

This kid has life figured out at a young age already

[Ms. Mileham @MariMilehamIHES]

This student created his own cozy atmosphere today and I absolutely love it 😂

[Kaung @kgmonkhin]

@GarrettRMooney XGBoost with the Bayesian modes being the “simple” learners 😂

[UNDP Myanmar @UNDP_Myanmar]

The United Nations in #Myanmar is calling for an immediate de-escalation of the situation in Sanchaung, Yangon, and to allow protestors prevented from returning home by security forces to so do safely.

[Breanna Randall @randallbreanna]

Some reflections on #myanmar op-eds by Myanmar outsiders these days. A thread:

I understand why Myanmar folks, some of whom are in exile, might write op-eds that sound resigned in regard to the viability of the #myanmar protest movement. They have their reasons.

[Kaung @kgmonkhin]

Lol.. this man has a point

[Kevin K. Yang 楊凱筌 @KevinKaichuang]

What if I flip a coin 1e6 times, throw out half the heads, train an unbiased estimator on the remaining data, and then use it to decide who has to stay in jail pretrial?

[robwormald @robwormald]

Well there's two hours of my life I'll never get back 🤦‍♂️#justyamlthings

[Dr. Jeena Kleenankandy, Ph.D @JKleenankandy]

Every day some new xxx-BERT gets released, I have nearly lost track of their names. If u told me u r reading DOSA-BERT or IDLY-BERT, there is a 99.9% chance that I would believe you. #NLProc #BERT #deeplearning

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

Update: A near-total internet shutdown is now in effect in #Myanmar.

Network data show a collapse of connectivity to 16% of ordinary levels from ~2 pm local time 📉

The information blackout is likely to severely limit coverage of anti-coup protests 📵
