Just found out that the voice actor that recorded the line 'you know when you've been Tangoed' for the adverts was GIL SCOTT FUCKING HERON, and now I need a lie down

Hi. I was away for a week. Hope everyone is doing well.
There are people who believe the reasons for my absence are shameful and disqualifying for full participation on public life.
Those people can snort my taint.
If you need help, get help. Don’t wait to be in crisis. You can feel better.

Really rewarding paper to read, pressuring the norm of uncritically using cosine similarity as a proxy for semantic similarity.
Rewarding, but also makes me sweat a little.

Hello newskies! (And oldskies too)
Bluesky doesn’t have just one algorithm, it has many, and you can pick what you like (or write your own). Here’s a few I made and a few i like:
Quiet Posters, posts from people you follow who don’t post that often whose posts you might normally miss

A preliminary experiment with a new method of measuring a story's "predictability." Code and data are shared so other people can tinker with this. tedunderwood.com/2024/01/05/c...
Can language models predict the next twist in a story?
While distant reading has taught us a lot about the history of fiction, it hasn't done much yet to explain why we keep turning pages. "Suspense" is the word we use to explain that impulse. But what is...

New from Aditya Vaidya arxiv.org/abs/2310.06408 Many have shown that LM and human predictions are very correlated, but we found that's not true when the text repeats! This points to divergence btwn memory mechanisms, which we localize in the model and then modify to get more human-like behavior.
Humans and language models diverge when predicting repeating text
Language models that are trained on the next-word prediction task have been shown to accurately model human behavior in word prediction and reading speed. In contrast with these findings, we...

Anyone have somebody in their network who might be interested in working on some data science, mapping and computer vision problems? Come across an interesting opportunity with some smart folks in commercial real estate. Put me in touch if so!
