The character actions aren't consistent and there is no learning. Jon snow, who was stabbed because of the blind trust he had in his brothers (I have my problems with show jon compared to book job anyway, but that's another story), trusts dany before she proves herself loyal
Google presents FAX
Scalable and Differentiable Federated Primitives in JAX
We present FAX, a JAX-based library designed to support large-scale distributed and federated computations in both data center and cross-device applications. FAX leverages JAX's sharding

Just..wait people, wait for me 🙄. I've been dreaming of using ML to learn optimal control policies to contain plasma and turbulence predictions to identify before it hits tokamak walls since high school. Am super jealous of deepmind researchers over here (Jk, super cool work)
Computer science is moving so fast I'm worried I won't ever be good enough lmao. At any given time there are probably millions better than me at what I do. How can one even hope to become the best when it is getting harder to chase every day ?
One of my best friends lost his family member today. She passed without even seeing him graduate. Who the fuck is responsible for that ? So many people could have been saved had the people in power just used their heads properly. What a failure of a society, country, people.
@NirantK
A lot of undergrads(including myself) are only able to do ML due to the genius of many systems engineers. They did the tough work so we could reap the benefits and build a classifier in 20 lines.
@johnschulman2
I wonder if having an external memory helps us understand how a language model "thinks". Let's say we have a neural Turing machine like architecture, and we visualize/interpret how the memory matrix changes, maybe we can better understand how the model comes to an answer ?
@skdh
No, think about a developing country like India, how feasible do you think it is to just stop existing power infrastructure without proper alternatives? Do you really think renewables are gonna be able to power the monstrous power requirements of heavy scale industries 24x7?
@likethebuilder
Instead we get a crazy "I deserve it all" queen in dany, and a spineless jon. I'm not gonna get into Arya killing nightking because "it's so sudden and subverts expectations". All that buildup for nothing and that episode was so difficult to see.
Exploring the limits of Concurrency in ML Training on Google TPUs
- Presents methods to scale models on the TPU
Multipod, a mesh with 4096 TPU-v3 chips, on Tensorflow and JAX.
- Achieves record training times from 16 to 28 seconds in four MLPerf models
My sister's kids think I am the super cool uncle who is mysterious, rebels against outdated family rules because they see me so rarely. Little do they know that I'm a rat in a rat race running towards the next paper deadline. They gonna be so disappointed when they grow up.
@likethebuilder
I found the show really good as long as they closely followed GRRMs books. It's a sobering fact that we might never get the ending of the books because GRRM is adamant on NOT finishing the books XD. But yeah, the show was terrible to hardcore fans.
Do we have a folding
@home
type project for materials discovery? Specifically for electrochemical catalyst discovery? Is that even feasible? Going through the list of distributed computing projects, I only see math, astrophysics, biology related projects.
@skdh
Unbelievable that there we are looking at some exotic new source to fight climate change, when we literally have one of cleanest, safest, most reliable, very very well understood power source in fission.
@skdh
Agree. I see a lot of hand wavy "do something" hysteria over climate change talks. The problem is anything but simple. It's not as simple as "we must stop putting carbon". How do you propose we do that? By shutting off fossil powerplants overnight?
@huggingface
transformers library is the best thing since naan bread, and you cannot change my mind. Brilliant work, seam less integration into any pytorch codebase. It's a beauty of a library guys. Thank you.

team, amazing response. 👏👏
Andhra Pradesh :
Lord Nageswara (Shiva) temple that got buried in the sand some 80 years ago has been unearthed at Nellore.
This ancient temple is over 200 years old.
Tired of this pandemic, I am spending my 20s staying up at weird hours staring at a screen trying to debug why my ML model thinks a giraffe must be dark blue in colour with very high confidence. XD
@likethebuilder
Dany, who is supposed to have learnt that just taking power is not gonna solve problems through the shitshow she created in mereen, should have worked on earning the trust of the people of Westeros. Especially after the shit the targaryens put them through during Roberts war
@ukrb84
Amazing! Been following polyblocks for a while now, very cool stuff :)
Would love to have a coffee chat with you about ML compilers sometime when I’m in Bangalore!
People on twitter, including myself, can get so caught up in things that we forget there's a world outside. Your entire world view becomes narrow, makes you detached and arrogant. I guess reading the thoughts of the same set of people everyday is not good.
Struggling to win over heart break is so draining. You'll be going about your day as suddenly memories from over a year ago will come back to haunt you and you're done for the day. Can't do anything anymore.
@ankit_seriously
I understand why people might not like this game, but to me it was a masterpiece. The raw emotions man.. it was like an intense novel. I have no playstation, I watched someone play the entire game on YouTube lol.
Bruh..I wonder what it would be like if tomorrow I just happen to solve the navier Stokes equations analytically and thought it was my homework. Why are we trying lol.
In 1939, George Dantzig, a graduate student at UC Berkeley, solved two open problems in statistical theory, which he had mistaken for homework after arriving late to a lecture by Jerzy Neyman. The two problems ended up being his entire PhD thesis.
@ToddChavezStan
Such terrible time table. Whoever thought having class at 5, when everyone is supposed to have chai and relax, is a good time to have class.
Can people in power just chill? Why do you want to do wars? All destruction in history seems to come from pride. Pride that they're the best race/gender/caste. So much effort no? Why can't every one just..sit on a balcony, see out into the night, listen to music and eat Pringles?
@DraconioSchifer
Don't scare me like that. I'm already refreshing my mail like a love sick guy who just confessed to his crush. Too scared to look at the phone, but too anxious not to.
@amazonIN
super super disappointed with your service. I managed to order a ps5 after waiting for so long and timing it perfectly. I was so happy and then I get a mail saying the price I paid is wrong and my order got cancelled. I got a refund but I lost a ps5.
@sid_srk
Are you a WW2 geek ? Normandy, Verdun (WW1 but meh) are places I want to visit. Scotland is amazing, learning about Scottish history and highland culture can be cool.
@stolenpyjak
(2/n) if they consider academic performance, we know how well grades can say how good a researcher someone can be. How else, then, would you go about a holistic evaluation of a profile ?
What's up with LinkedIn guys throwing around words like *Quantum* and *AI* ? AI is still fine, but quantum ? "Learn quantum in 21 days" ? Dude, Dirac would be so disappointed.
Everytime I see Google or one of those big companies make some progress on quantum computing, I just want to pluck my hair out shouting "Please! Wait for me ! Just 3 more years.."
I don't want "immersive meetings"..I just want my laptop to not stutter and kill itself while I open teams to TEXT. Optimize your shit and I'm a happy man.
@stolenpyjak
(3/n) sure, you can consider the students socio-economic status and consider what they've achieved in their unique circumstances. But how feasible a metric is that ? The variance would simply by high don't you think ?
@NVIDIAGeForce
retiring my ever loyal GTX 660 to the old age home now. She was a fine GPU. It's time for next generation to take over, but rtx 3k series are gonna dent my purse so bad..
@hawkeyes1094
The fluidity and sleekness of those animations dude..Everytime I think naughty dog has shown us a new high, they push more. Brilliant. Also, is it just me ? Or most of the game looks like single shot ?
@ecsquendor
@MLStreetTalk
@fchollet
No questions Tim, just a thank you for your efforts. Street talk is easily one my fav podcasts. Can't wait to hear Francois, I absolutely look up to him, I hope this is gonna be a long 2-3 hour one. Gotta grab a drink and a snack.
Don't you fucking hate it when 1 song is on the loop in your head ? I get it brain, that's an interesting rhythm, but can you please allow me to take the derivates of this convex function right now ?
Do you want to win the Nobel Prize and be considered the next Einstein? Then find the God Equation, an equation, perhaps no more than 1 inch long, which will allow us to “read the Mind of God” by summarizing all physical laws into a single equation.
@KulksThoughts
I'm not sure, but I think I will be content the day I'm not worried about tomorrow or the future. The day I'm not craving for someones company and when I'm happy with myself, just existing. Try Ramana Maharshi's "who am I?" and bhagawad Gita. They help.
@sid_srk
I can work for hours with sirivennela sitarama sastry's poetry pushing me. My favourite poet in the whole wide world passed away on my birthday. Unbelievably bittersweet. Music, poetry and art can really push people to break their limits.
