Everything about that Luigi guy is just sad. Manifesto written by an LSTM, no big plan or idea, got caught in the dumbest way imaginable, miserable health condition.. just sad overall

what’s the mfu like

Personally I’m even more primitive and know basic calculus only. So the significance of this is totally lost on me. But at the same time I don’t want to do a depth first search and take 5 years to grok all this either

mom pick me up they’re putting air quotes on integrals now

Does exploration

Falsifiable prediction = respect

Similar to how “Threads should not be a library”

Commits should be first class objects. VCS is not some outer loop feature. It is what we do

That’s not even the first one. Just the first good one that didn’t use Hidden Markov Models

Ah that explains your knowledge of dosas finally

Importance sampling does not work in deep learning

This suggests that SGD is a frequentist process, not a bayesian one

hmm what a coincidence this suddenly popped up on the other site

Everybody gangsta until deepseek r1 starts thinking in Chinese

There are papers pipelining along the token dimension.
Agree it’s a little too good to be true, too basic to be new

I read it twice and still don’t understand what the insight is. Might have to read the paper

Looks like Sutton didn’t get the memo. Memory and compute are cheap. It’s called the “Bitter Lesson”

Replay buffers are a-ok!

I now hit cmd + s every breath due to trauma from this

Eric Schmidt has written a second book with Henry Kissinger on AI. Incredible

distributed learning for LLM?

recently, @primeintellect.bsky.social have announced finishing their 10B distributed learning, trained across the world.

what is it exactly?

There’s also BPE dropout

btw training a 5e25 flops model at 50% MFU would take 10k H100s for 100 days. anything more than that is surplus territory.

in any case pretty impressive operation!

Wow never would have thought you’d be an options trader. Honestly respect 🫡

The future is proper uncertain now after a while so selling CCs might just be the move

Well if pre training is over NVDA is at risk. o1 inference, data selection etc can be done on AMD

Lucky man

OpenAI, Google and Anthropic Are Struggling to Build More Advanced AI Three of the leading artificial intelligence companies are seeing diminishing returns from their costly efforts to develop newer models.

Some recent reports such as this one and all typical thought leaders and podcasters jumping on it is creating a narrative

Agree but I’ve never seen positive transfer happen so I’m a bit pessimistic.

Not sure earliness of fusion has been a bottleneck here, do you have reasons for why it could be?

It’d be great if we could figure out a pre training objective for YouTube that transfers to text
