I appreciate @bsky.app once more when Elon starts blocking access to 100s of Twitter accounts engaged in expressing pro-democracy sentiments in Turkey.

Making LLMs run efficiently can feel scary, but scaling isn’t magic, it’s math! We wanted to demystify the “systems view” of LLMs and wrote a little textbook called “How To Scale Your Model” which we’re releasing today. 1/n

If you’re passionate about brain-inspired algorithms/hardware and novel neural computation beyond current TPU/GPU stack please apply to the CapoCaccia Workshops for Neuromorphic Intelligence.

It values creativity, exploration and interdisciplinary collaboration🧪

Choosing LAAX was a good decision. Their slick mobile app allows to monitor the weather, slope crowdedness, lift positions, and which restaurants are open or closed.

Live ISS telemetry is interesting to watch. You can monitor critical sensors i.e, airlock or cabin pressures, or the urine tank percentage :)

I didn't properly practice winter sports during my 5-year PhD in Switzerland. This morning, I'm on the SBB train to LAAX to learn snowboarding in 5 days.

1/ Okay, one thing that has been revealed to me from the replies to this is that many people don't know (or refuse to recognize) the following fact:

The unts in ANN are actually not a terrible approximation of how real neurons work!

A tiny 🧵.

Blake Richards @tyrellturing.bsky.social · Dec 16

Why does anyone have any issue with this?

I've seen people suggesting it's problematic, that neuroscientists won't like it, and so on.

But, I literally don't see why this is problematic...
