Fuck off Google, you promised me I would never have to delete an email again.

Reply to comment by ckperry in [N] Google is increasing the price of every Colab Pro tier by 10X! Pro is 95 Euro and Pro+ is 433 Euro per month! Without notifying users! by FreePenalties
Good to hear, thanks. That's when I'm teaching next so would be great. It's a fantastic resource for teaching ML but frustrating when students hit the GPU cap. My university also won't let the students pay for Colab Pro on their .edu google account themselves, some legal nonsense. Some of them end up paying on their personal google accounts but then it's awkward needing to share the notebooks again (and I feel bad about the students paying when it should really be the school).

Oh nice. Please can you get invoice based billing set up so I can have my university pay for my students' Colab subscription!

Oh sorry I meant I should check out discord!
I've used ChatGPT for a few tasks and it's been helpful (not perfect), e.g. summarizing a long document. Current issue is mainly just it being overloaded! Haven't tried code writing or brainstorming yet.

Hmm well now I don't know if I'm talking to you or your bot!
Cool I should check it out. Seems like the free version is already pretty functional?

It's also frustrating finding researchers that I want to follow. I work on ML/compbio so the ppl I want to follow are spread across multiple mastodon servers which makes them hard to search for.

I haven't used discord but heard good things about it, even with some labs using it instead of slack.

Completely agree. I use reddit casually and twitter as more of a work/research tool, but I really much prefer reddit to twitter as a platform (especially post Musk). I tried getting into mastodon but it just feels like more awkward-to-use twitter. An academic focused ML subreddit might be good. Maybe even enforce "real" names for users to post?

Welp... no new phone for me yet then. Guess that's good.

Reply to Big Sur, CA [OC] [4000x6000] by Equal-Bad-8489
Unpopular opinion: Big Sur is overrated for the most part. You can't access most of the beaches like this and where you can hike the views aren't great (with some exceptions, e.g. Point Lobos). It's a nice drive... if I wanted to spend my vacation in a metal box. It's also a horrible bike ride – no shoulder and a lot of traffic.

Good for visualization maybe? Not good for further downstream analysis.

Reply to comment by blazejd in [D] Why do we train language models with next word prediction instead of some kind of reinforcement learning-like setup? by blazejd
I don't think so, that's not what gets upvoted on reddit (for the most part, on the popular subreddits). It would be moderate/left-leaning. It might even learn to be funny.

While there are plenty of good responses here I want to add that I don't think you're your idea is dumb. Taking a pre-trained LLM and using it to initialize an RL agent that tries to maximize upvotes when commenting on reddit would be pretty interesting.

If you're such a shitty driver that it drove [sic] someone to spit on you, I suggest that as well as stepping down as a moderator you also take a driver's ed class. Or just stop driving, even better.

Reply to [R] The Illustrated Stable Diffusion by jayalammar
Minor typo: "ransom latents tensor".
For the diffusion model the "noise" is actually (approximately) integrated over, is that correct?
