I get that. But what about other less prestigious locations. For example, I live in Hannover in Germany (it says online that it has the biggest exhibition centre in the world). I would expect that there are many other conference centers all over the world. Are they more expensive?

Why do we even have conferences in "attractive locations"? It sounds much more sensible to have them in other cities with conference centers, that are much cheaper. We do not need to go to Hawaii or New York City...

I would say it is exactly the same companies training on the test set, and selling the product :D

I got an email yesterday afternoon that my NSF SPRF Postdoctoral Fellowship was terminated. My grant focused on testing interventions to address online misinformation and I was 8 months into a two year appointment.

Australian academics refuse to attend US conferences for fear of being detained ‘When academics fear travelling or partnering with US institutions, the impacts ripple through the entire global knowledge ecosystem,’ one says

There are great conferences and science in the US, but with the way things are right now, it’s too risky to attend.

Any pointers?

Is this true? I find almost no interesting Machine Learning Threads here. Maybe I just follow the wrong people

Hahaha :D
Well, now i am a bit embarrassed - but mostly very amused :D

Strongly disagree. I quite often ask LLMs questions with simple solutions. And I am not taking lectures anymore. I have no idea how a model should discern easy and complicated questions based on the way it is trained.

Conversation with the obnoxious LLM in Whatsapp. I asked whether it agrees with Mark Zuckerberg on masculine energy in the work culture. It does not

I do not want a ChatBot in every app. What is this? Why did you give it to me? I did not ask for it and see no use in it. And also, it does not appear to like you very much

So it's somewhat correct? 🤔

The Ellis Winter school on Foundation Models was amazing and very exhausting.
Good to know that I can still become somewhat anxious around new people and put my foot in my mouth every now and then - who wants to be normal? I prefer being confusing 🙈😇

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

What is DEI?
And I would not say that there is too much work on gender bias, otherwise the models might perform better there.

Hey y'all,
If you spot some interesting research, or are interested in the utilization of LLMs for Optimization feel free to reach out :)

That's why we all left for bluesky, right? :D

Really cool !
Can't wait to play around with it ♥️

Haha, I feel this.
Installing Anaconda on windows made me switch to other operating systems :D

What the fuck is an Anaconda Gui that wants to install Pycharm?

Look who is hanging out with me in my new apartment.

(Unfortunately you can't see my ?hammock? on the picture so I have to explain my pun)

Wonderfully second conference day at AutomlConf. Really looking forward to the conference dinner tomorrow. I am just as tired as these dogs I just saw in the subway though

The most important part is that it is free :D

Yes, nice bagels and coffee :D

How to identify master's students at #automlConf? They might be the first once at the conference, due to breakfast
