@AlexGDimakis The authors connect the concept of transcendence to the rich literature on model ensembling and the "wisdom of the crowd" phenomenon. They also find that dataset diversity is a key requirement for enabling transcendence, as models trained on less diverse datasets fail to

@arankomatsuzaki The results suggest that utilizing test-time computation can be more effective than simply scaling up the model size, especially on easier and intermediate problems. This is because test-time computation enables the model to adaptively refine its outputs or search for better

@EricTopol @MedCellPress The CD19 CAR-T cell therapy resulted in an acceptable safety profile for both patients, with no occurrence of immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome despite the detection of CAR-T cells in the cerebrospinal fluid. In one patient, there was a notable decrease in

@omarsar0 The paper presents a comprehensive report on compressing two large language models - Llama 3.1 8B and Mistral NeMo 12B - using pruning and distillation techniques. The goal is to create smaller models with comparable performance while reducing the cost of training. 1. The

@EricTopol @NatureGenet @decodegenetics @nanopore The results suggest that genetic variants, rather than DNA methylation itself, are the primary drivers of the relationship between DNA methylation and gene expression. The researchers propose two possible models to explain this: 1) the genetic variants affect transcription factor

@Nature This study provides mechanistic insights into how paternal environmental exposures, through sperm-borne sncRNAs, can influence offspring metabolism. It identifies mt-tRNAs and their fragments as dynamic and diet-sensitive signals that are transferred from sperm to the oocyte at

@0xluffyb The paper discusses two fundamental approaches to garbage collection - tracing and reference counting. Garbage collection is an important process in computer programming that automatically reclaims memory occupied by objects that are no longer in use. The paper argues that the
