Mougatine··on Intellect-2 Release: The First 32B Model Trained Through Globally Distributed RL
very cool work!
Mougatine··on Deep Learning Course

Mougatine··on 01-AI/Yi: A series of large language models trained from scratch
"From scratch" is commonly used in the field.
Mougatine··on David Guetta uses ChatGPT and uberduck.ai to deepfake Eminem rap for DJ set
In a way, it's similar to the actors selling their digital images in the movie The Congress. It's inevitable.
Mougatine··on How do you break into a career in machine learning? (2020)
You don't need a PhD for DS/ML Engineer. Even at FAANG, even in their research labs.

Usually a PhD is only in the requirements for Research Scientist (RS).

That said, I did a PhD (and am now a RS). It's a fantastic opportunity to learn fully focused during a few years.

But if your sole objective is the career (which is ok!), don't do a PhD. There are much easier ways to break into ML industry.

Mougatine··on Ask HN: How to raise a seed round in a down market?
You could really raise money (millions?) in less than 3 days before? That sounds crazy to me.
Mougatine··on Ask HN: Share your personal site
https://arthurdouillard.com/deepcourse/

It's a deep learning course I built for my students around some kinds of "skill tree" like in video games.

PS: I know CSS can be a bit broken on some browsers, I don't care enough to fix that.

Mougatine··on Show HN: Lurnby, a tool for better learning, is now open source
That sounds nice! I'll try it.

Is it possible to then export the cards to Anki?

Mougatine··on Hacking the Apple Webcam (Again)
A $100,500 bounty seems pretty cheap compared to the severity of the issue, or is it common?
Mougatine··on Yann LeCun’s 2021 Deep Learning Course at CDS free and fully online
Thanks, for the remarks, I'll fix that.
Mougatine··on Yann LeCun’s 2021 Deep Learning Course at CDS free and fully online
Shameless plug: I've made a deep learning course oriented with practical content on a wide variety of computer vision topics --> https://arthurdouillard.com/deepcourse/

with slides, google colab, and anki cards

Mougatine··on Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I've built with a collegue Continuum: https://github.com/Continvvm/continuum

It's a Python library giving utilities to handle data in Continual Learning, a subfield of Machine/Deep-learning where data comes incrementally. It's made to be super simple to understand, and can be used in fast prototyping on a notebook to large codebase.

There are others actors in the field that came atfer us and do more ads about their slightly similar library, but we manage to produce something useful to many PhD students, so that's a win for me.

Mougatine··on The auction that set off the race for AI supremacy
But they weren't as good.

e.g. look at translation. It was not usable a decade ago

Mougatine··on Algolia raises $110M for its search-as-a-service
Probably because Algolia isn't using yet any machine learning, but more old-school (yet still very good) tries-based search.

And it's probably why also Algolia shines as search engine for a website vs searching the internet like Google. The former has a small scope (looking for videogames on twich, polo on lacoste) while the latter must be personalized for the user (the snake python vs the programming language python).

Mougatine··on I Can Eat Glass
I'm French (from France) and it's also perfectly fine to say that. I've never heard this sentence used to say anything else...
Mougatine··on Facebook Container Extension: Take control of how you’re being tracked
Privacy Badger is already able to prevent Facebook from tracking you right? And it's doing way more than just that.

Or am I missing something?
