vpj··on Show HN: We've open-sourced our LLM attention visualization library
Pretty cool. The tokens are highlighted based on the activation?
vpj··on Training language models to follow instructions with human feedback
Sorry didn’t see it.
vpj··on PyTorch 1.10
Agreed. But it makes implementing and testing a lot easier for us. We try to minimize the dependencies as much as possible.

Do you think it also comes in the way of understanding the paper and learning how to implement it?

vpj··on PyTorch 1.10
We did a bunch of popular research paper implementations in PyTorch with notes (annotations); might be helpful.

Have you looked at TorchServe

vpj··on Scientist says cleaning indoor air could make us healthier and smarter
Bought one about a week ago, because of similar research studies. I don't notice anything different. I use it in the bedroom when sleeping.

May be my air quality was already pretty good. I will check the status of the filter after a few weeks to see how much purifying it had to do.

vpj··on Ask HN: Reinforcement learning for single, lower end graphic cards?
Depends on what sort of RL you are doing. If you are trying to train agents to play small games with vision the agent will need a small cnn to process images. This will need a gpu and what you have should be enough.

I was training on atari for a while with 1080ti. The games run on the cpu so you need a decent cpu as well.

vpj··on React's UI State Model vs. Vanilla JavaScript
Thanks for finding the typo.

Ton of abstractions is an overstatement. https://github.com/vpj/weya is more like a helper function around `document.createElement`.

vpj··on React's UI State Model vs. Vanilla JavaScript
This is true. We recently re-wrote everything in plain javascript from react, and it didn't increase the lines of code.

The vanilla code was much easier to maintain too. React comes in your way when things get complicated and the work arounds produce really messy code.

Edit:

Project (GitHub): https://github.com/labmlai/labml/tree/master/app

It's a mobile/web app to monitor machine learning experiment.

vpj··on Regret Minimization in Games with Incomplete Information (CFR)
I think it's a derivative of CFR, with a lot of optimizations and abstractions. They reduce the search space by grouping different card combinations together e.g. KK and QQ are treated same. They also limit the action space and only allow half-pot or full pot bets.

This is what I remember. I went through what they published briefly sometime back. So I could be wrong here.

Author here. From next month onwards we will pick papers to implement based on votes on Github issues https://github.com/lab-ml/nn/issues

Feel free to open an issue if there's a paper that you like implemented.

vpj··on Show HN: Monitor server hardware usage from phone
Hi, I am one of the developers. This makes total sense, we were thinking of doing alerts. Do you have any specific alerts in mind? Do you think they should be customizable or general anomalies be enough?

I don't think you are missing a better workflow. Our current use case is monitoring the hardware while monitoring model training. In this case researchers tend to take a look at how their models are doing from time to time and they could check on hardware at the same time. This wouldn't be the case for general servers.

All of the class definition has to be in a single cell. You can’t have notes within it only normal comments
vpj··on Show HN: Collection of deep learning implementations with side-by-side notes
We used https://coffeescript.org/#literate for some products at https://forestpin.com and it was so much easier to maintain.

One of the problems with notebooks for literate programming is that it kind of breaks down when you define a class or a long function. The entire code has to be within a single block.

vpj··on Show HN: Remote – A CLI tool for distributed PyTorch model training
I haven't had time to really use it. Finished off coding a couple of days ago. I only used it with a bunch of old pytorch projects for testing on Lambda Labs cloud. I plan to use it for training some NLP models, that are too slow for my home GPU setup.

For now, starting servers, copying their ips/hostnames to the configuration files and stopping servers when training finishes seem is tedious. I think I will integrate it to the AWS (and other cloud) api so that you can automate starting and terminating servers.

We don’t have an android phone and will test when we get hold of one.

Will add installation instructions.
