Love math, physics & machine learning. always learning, so I make a lot of mistakes and learn from them. Views are my own and not those of my employer.

Does he mean star formation and peak stellar activity? By "life" does he mean a productive star forming period?
We are about halfway through the life of the Universe as measured by how many times the atoms in our bodies will be part of an exploding star

Nope! I honestly don't know what this is. And there are so many flavors and types of Indian food.

Everyone's flipping over this, but all Yann is trying to say is (at least I interpret it like this) that you can deploy a dumb system and make it harmful or take a very intelligent system and make it harmless by virtue of guardrails, deployment (to an extent) and an improved

Kudos @AravSrinivas you know your game! Getting Lewis on board 👏 👏.
The smallest edge can make the biggest difference. You only find it if you ask. That’s what drew me to @perplexity_ai. Because they make finding answers effortless.

Text is one type of input, in the next step the model could easily be multimodal, followed by speech in speech out. Making the model culturally aware happens when you provide the modality geared towards a culture. Not sure what this 👇🏽random rant is about.
Not enough people care about Indic languages and transitively Indic LLMs. Tell me the last time we wrote and typed in our regional language. Most people who hold any kind of purchasing capability are not even comfortable reading an Indic script. I don't think there is enough

Along with international partners, we're using the same generically shaped wing design to create research models that will help us better understand how air moves around an aircraft during takeoff+landing. More on this innovation for the benefit of all: https://t.co/ZaUkBKWjxJ

The models have gotten better, no doubt and they'll continue to get better but the talk of AGI "next year" or in next 5 years was a bit too much considering we were basing that on LLMs. We're making serious progress in terms of learning and unlocking potential of these models but
i think we should stop arguing about what year AGI will arrive and start arguing about what year the first self-replicating spaceship will take off

Yup! a 100% agree. And also, the information content per token is miniscule! Not sure what the appeal is in filling pages with non-informational content. My brain immediately goes into scanning mode and throws out 80-90% of the text.

It looks scary but it isn't. It's a beautiful concept and requires a bit if thinking and then one can derive the equations on their own.

It was shocking the first time I saw someone turn down a once in a lifetime opportunity for no good reason, which they often come to regret. By the 10th time, I realized that all things being equal, seeing and acting on opportunity is what divides middling vs massive success.

Always the voice of reason. You sir are a gem 💎!
At a time when the nation stands united as Indians, this petty attempt to divide us politically is deplorable. Our government has learned the futility of past approaches the hard way -- after inviting Pakistan to participate in the investigation of the Pathankot blasts in 2016.

Why don’t you compete with ChatGPT? Last time I checked Gemini app was an order of magnitude behind. More seriously, this arrogance and comparative disparaging is toxic and not needed in our community. Do the best work you can to help those with less privilege. That’s it.

The following is so unlike me to do on Twitter but I got the premium account and it allowed me to ramble on, so 🤷🏻♂️... When we invented steam engines, the job of the carriage puller was suddenly at risk, but we didn’t stop there. We kept going. Steam engines powered railroads,

Absolutely blown away by @ProfBrianCox's Horizons at the Herbst Theater in SF! He has an incredible gift for making complex science not only understandable but utterly captivating. A show packed with information and meaning! And what a thoughtful way to end it! 🙌

Dear me, what a shame! We'll sit behind closed doors and criticize the best open source model and declare imminent victory.
