I stole this for the linkedin post 😂 Gratitude 🫡

Aaaaaaa! I'm regretting my choices 🥲

I actually like the em dash. Am I an LLM? 🤔

What I imagine open ai feels like after reading that s1 paper

Wait... So s1 cost only $50 to fine-tune and beat o1-preview. And the secret sauce is... forcing the model to generate "Wait" instead of end-of-sequence???

Ahahhahahhaha this is so cool

🚨 MAJOR ALERT 🚨

The people wanted verification badges on Bluesky and @guan.dk and I have teamed up to bring you verification badges.

Behold! It is the Official Verified Labeller!

Strong characters sounds amazing + I think there is a lot to learn from that time if portrayed well. Thanks for the recommendation, I will give it a go!

Hi John,

That’s what all the bots say 😳😂

Not really my area of expertise, I know of the very obvious ones like input sanitation, regular finetuning on problematic examples, etc. The folks at lakera.ai have been on it for some time and regularly host hacking challenges, which I enjoy following

I love Silo and For All Mankind. Maybe I should try Halt & Catch Fire next!

Thank you! Indeed, what a debacle 😂 🍿

I think this chart better conveys the benefit and costs of a specialized model

What's the drama with Byzantine? Did someone raise it during reviewing in the past? Is there a public discussion? 🍿

Bluesky's firehose is a treasure trove of public data for researchers and developers, and it's completely free. Check out our developer docs: docs.bsky.app

Book outline

Over the past decade, embeddings — numerical representations of machine learning features used as input to deep learning models — have become a foundational data structure in industrial machine learning systems. TF-IDF, PCA, and one-hot encoding have always been key tools in machine learning systems as ways to compress and make sense of large amounts of textual data. However, traditional approaches were limited in the amount of context they could reason about with increasing amounts of data. As the volume, velocity, and variety of data captured by modern applications has exploded, creating approaches specifically tailored to scale has become increasingly important. Google’s Word2Vec paper made an important step in moving from simple statistical representations to semantic meaning of words. The subsequent rise of the Transformer architecture and transfer learning, as well as the latest surge in generative methods has enabled the growth of embeddings as a foundational machine learning data structure. This survey paper aims to provide a deep dive into what embeddings are, their history, and usage patterns in industry.

Just realized BlueSky allows sharing valuable stuff cause it doesn't punish links. 🤩

Let's start with "What are embeddings" by @vickiboykis.com

The book is a great summary of embeddings, from history to modern approaches.

The best part: it's free.

💯 no fake science please 😬😬😬 This sort of accounts can also be used to build up a following base and then activate as part of an influence campaign

Personally, I like Quiet Posters: it surfaces posts I wouldn't have seen otherwise!

By the authority vested in me by the decentralised gods (💅🏻) I accept this proposition.

(💅🏻 Sarcasm. I possess no such authority. The decentralised gods would never grant it to me (💅🏻))

Maybe we need a special sarcasm tag here on bsky

My question was a joke!

I know what the word means 🤣

What do you mean "once"? 🤨

I got a Probabilistic Programming starter pack going. Hit me up if you're involved with #probprog R&D and want in!

Thanks, Chad! Much needed starter pack 🙌🏻

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/

Hey kids we brought @pivotpod.bsky.social over too.
