Can we all remind ourselves that the point of this is to learn about neural network training, and that using a billion flops to badly simulate what is literally one (1) flop is an insane idea? I feel like this gets lost

What I love about these is that I have spent so much time reading equations in papers and textbooks just trying to answer “what does it actually do”, and these just make it unmistakably obvious

PSA: if you assign python notebooks for homework, you CANNOT allow students to use Google colab anymore, it reads instructions and autosuggests good answers. I’m trying “You’ve earned the right not to play on easy mode”, but the temptation to just say “that looks good” is there

Truly excited to be featured in this Northwestern Engineering article! Shoutout to many at IEMS and NICO who've been part of the journey

Open “source” is a relic of the 90s era separation between code and executable. Retrofitting it is hopeless. The Creative Commons license family is a better model: describe aspects like open weights, protocol, data with succinct codes.

I have a very particular set of skills. Skills that I have developed over a long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for 11-page pdfs like you. If you go down to 8 pages now, that will be the end of it.

The early 🦜 gets the 🪱 JHU Computer Science has a great opportunity for faculty hiring. Apply early and you couls interview early and 🤞get an early offer. Spreading out interviews and having an early offer = less stressful job search.

More evidence Tech companies’ spending on GPUs and electricity is crowding out hiring. Hardware vs HR. H100s will become e-waste, interns will become CEOs.

Fantastic opportunity for undergrads interested in research! I've been lucky to host and collaborate with several amazing interns through this program. Deadline 10/21. Help spread the word! 📢📢📢

If for whatever reason you can't make it to COLM, please send me an email, and we will give you a refund. There are a lot of people who would really like to come.

This is big. Nvidia is probably ahead a generation on chips, but CUDA is the moat

So, your model beats a random baseline (1/n class) in dev, so you know it's good right? WRONG Gregory Yauney and David Mimno : since you gave your model/ICL prompt/exemplars many tries on dev, you need to give *the random baseline* many tries too! 1/
