@Jecovit Congrats! 👍

Current LLMs are trained on text data that would take 20,000 years for a human to read.
And still, they haven't learned that if A is the same as B, then B is the same as A.
Humans get a lot smarter than that with comparatively little training data.
Even corvids, parrots, dogs, and octopuses get smarter than that very, very quickly, with only 2 billion neurons and a few trillion "parameters."

Na zalost sem jaz pripravil ta predlog za Senat FRI - posluha pred tem ni bilo, vprasanje, ce sedaj bo 🤷‍♂️. Pa tudi sicer FRI dobi (precej) manj denarja na studenta kot primerljive fakultete; imamo najvec studentov/ucitelja; asistenti so mnogo prevec nadobremenjeni …

Novi vlaki so fajn in “s kolesom na vlak” ni problem priti 👍. Je pa malo nerodno na perone nositi kolesa po stopnicah gor in dol 💪. Kaksne “šine” ob robu stopnic bi koristile (ali pa sem kaj spregledal) - @slozeleznice 🤞

Just received the shocking news from the eLex conference, in Brno. Thierry was a cornerstone of the LLOD community. I will always remember his enthusiasm and warmth. He was an inspiration. Words are failing me... https://t.co/iPFVXK1yQx

Summers get hot in Slovenia. Sometimes you just want to settle in a cave and never come out. Well, this year you can!*

Join us at the #ESSLLI2023 trip to the beautiful (and chilly) Postojna cave.
