Gosh, Andor s2 clips and Claude 3.7 — not a bad day in the end?

There's been a lot of work on "culture" in NLP, but not much agreement on what it is. A position paper by me, @dbamman.bsky.social, and @ibleaman.bsky.social on cultural NLP: what we want, what we have, and how sociocultural linguistics can clarify things. Website: naitian.org/culture-not-... 1/n

You can try out Veo 2 now! I didn’t expect it to team up with Freepik first. Plus, the first 10,000 users will get 2 free generations!

Doing the experiment of using groq's api (billing on usage) to call qwen coder model in cursor.... uh, it's almost *too* fast.

I've now released the generation code, origin text, bonus materials, and 10,000 newly generated copies of Subcutanean, my queer horror novel where each copy is unique (as I promised back in 2020 that I'd do five years after release). Details and links here: subcutanean.textories.com/source-relea...

After 6+ months in the making and over a year of GPU compute, we're excited to release the "Ultra-Scale Playbook": hf.co/spaces/nanot... A book to learn all about 5D parallelism, ZeRO, CUDA kernels, how/why overlap compute & coms with theory, motivation, interactive plots and 4000+ experiments!
