Or : "The young GPU's illustrated human primer"

You've got to be careful with PDFs : We can't see how they are rendered internally for the LLM, so there may be differences in how it's treating the margin/gutters/bleeds that we should account for (and cannot).

"Make this better in a loop" is less powerful than using evolution on a population. While it may seem like evolution is just single steps in a loop, something qualitatively different occurs due to the population dynamics - since you get the opportunity for multiple restarts / interpolation (according to an LLM) between examples / and 'novelty' not being instantly rejected.

and (of course) the company will record the data so that the robots will be able to learn via imitation learning ASAP

I think the "Aha" is that the RL caused it to use an anthropomorphic tone.

One difference from the initial step is that the second time around includes the initial step and the aha comment in the context : It is, after all, just doing LLM token-wise prediction.

OTOH, the RL process means that it has potentially learned the impact of statements that it makes on the success of future generation. This self-direction makes it go somewhat beyond vanilla-LLM pattern mimicry IMHO.

"Track your potential while staying current" would be more apt

So you're the one in charge of the unix epoch rollover?

Did you see the tennis players from Nvidia? https://research.nvidia.com/labs/toronto-ai/vid2player3d/

Google Colab gives you $free GPU (usually a 16Gb T4) preloaded with frameworks, ready to run. Later, you might be tempted by the Pro(+) version, but there's plenty of scope to move up the learning curve before spending any money.

Could you point to any resources online about how to do this? e.g. is this using 8-bit quantisation?

Isn't that for only one quarter of the A100?

To just play with something : https://huggingface.co/spaces/nateraw/yolov6 (There's an images tab, and some samples below).

If you go to the associated code, you'll see that it needs a 'backbone', 'neck' etc. What is a backbone? Questions that arise directly from the code will lead you towards good blog articles, etc. https://huggingface.co/spaces/nateraw/yolov6/blob/main/yolov...

OTOH, you could go and have a look at (for instance) the Stanford vision courses for a more 'theoretical' approach. But the code itself is often solid guide to what's going on (the frameworks used for Deep Learning map well onto what's being discussed in blogs/lectures/papers).

"All models are licensed under CC-BY-NC 4.0" :

So, to clarify, does this mean that companies cannot use these models in the course of business, or is it more about selling the translation results directly?

Could be... Except their page (should you choose to believe it, of course) specifically addresses the advantages:

"""

"Advantages over Traditional GANs" : Thus, we observe that our model exhibits _better training stability_ and mode coverage.

"Why is Sampling from Denoising Diffusion Models so Slow?" : After training, we generate novel instances by sampling from noise and iteratively denoising it _in a few steps_ using our denoising diffusion GAN generator.

"""

Or the two can be combined : https://nvlabs.github.io/denoising-diffusion-gan/index.html

The automatic bug report generation tool produces the following:

"Absent comma results in unwatned string concatenation on line 330"

Bug-ception!

Also : Zero capital gains tax. Zero estate taxes.

Failing at a business in the UK: "Told you so! And now everybody knows you're a failure."

The search term you're looking for is "Keyword Spotting" (or "Wake Word Detection") - and that's what's implemented locally for ~embedded devices that sit and wait for something relevant to come along so that they know when to start sending data up to the mothership (or even turn on additional higher-power cores locally).

Here's an example repo that might be interesting (from initial impressions, though there are many more out there) : https://github.com/vineeths96/Spoken-Keyword-Spotting

FWIW, for the International audience, the (excellent) UK series "Spooks" was renamed "MI-5" - it was all about the domestic intelligence services in the UK, and (IMHO) worth looking for on NetFlix...

"I wanted to use splines for the baseline survival" - isn't this a modelling step that could have been revisited? It seems a somewhat arbitrary choice (there are other ways to ~interpolate that are much more framework friendly) - and it seems that it forced you down a bit of a rabbit-hole.

Definitely a thing in the UK : http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/onlyfools/lingo/

Look under "FP16 16-bit (Half Precision) Floating Point Calculations" on https://www.microway.com/knowledge-center-articles/compariso...

These raw numbers don't tell the whole story, of course. But IMHO, the convenience of a local 2080Ti outweighs the speed benefits of an _somewhat flaky_ V100 via Colab for day-to-day use (unless memory size is an issue, which you can't really get around).

OTOH, for just trying out stuff / one-offs, Colab is perfect - and bonus points if you score a V100.

I was a summer intern at the UK company (Perihelion) doing the Atari-based Transputer machines. The word there was that because Atari had invested in the UK company (?) the Atari machine was essential to include as the front-end, even though it didn't really fit the UK designers' idea of what a good front-end machine would be... (nothing against the Atari design, just that its quirks/shortcuts didn't match up with the Transputer cluster backend 'vision').

Where "variant" is Japanese! Much like English is a "variant" of Italian.

The venue should be available for free if your meetup is attractive to people that could be potential employees of the hosts. And why do you feel the need to give people free food and drinks? Reframe the issue : Everyone who attends should be motivated to come to the event for the content, rather than free food on their way home.

People should probably check the pictures of the water on your cited webpage before they take this as some kind of evidence. The lakes listed seem like mostly geothermally heated, or no longer existing.

I semi-remember hearing that ear-prints are also somewhat unique (like, say, thumb-prints). Since the CCTV seems to have a decent ear image, couldn't the defense demonstrate that their client's ear is distinctly different in shape?

~No. Suppose that 5 of 50 channels in a particular network layer made up the 'lottery ticket' for that layer. The number of 'combos' of 5 channels that were trained at the same time is 50C5 (i.e. ~2million [0]).

Whereas training 5C5 (=1) 10 times only gives you 10 chances to get the right 5 together.

At least, that's one way to think about it.

Perhaps people are wondering how your UNet is going to see the bristles on the other side of the dandelion seed.
