making an LLM deliberately bad at being a code assistant also makes it a nazi, because all good and all bad things are correlated with each other

dreamt I met hank green at a busy café, where he fact-checks my thoughts forcing me to publicly announce my own ignorance just because of that one video he made

KM3Net just announced the detection of an ultra-high-energy neutrino at ~200 PeV (!!). While that's cool and a little intimidating, don't let this distract you from the fact that there is still no known way how to properly share slides or prevent audio issues over zoom www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Tune in tomorrow to see if KM3NeT finally annouces competition to IceCube

there are not that many high profile ML people posting in BlueSky Jeff is one, we need more like him, worth the repost!

Nothing screams imposter syndrome quite like science youtubers doing their yearly recap disguised as "2024 Errata". Like come on. Give yourself a little credit.

I've been feeling guilty for under-utilizing the General Purpose GPUs at the computing cluster so now I'm looking for a good therapy approach to overcome these feelings. Or in german I'm looking for an Allzweckgrafikverarbeitungseinheitunterauslastungsschuldgefühlsbewältigungstherapieansatz

German really is funny sometimes

Did you know that you can just read a fully fledged fantasy novel from Brandon Sanderson for free? He released all drafts, including the final hardcover print, of "Warbreaker" as a pdf on his website. You can just download it or print it, with no strings attached!

Sometimes you just quickly type that one thing into search just to grab stuff for a work presentation - Suddenly your eyes go wide and you wake up like from a dream. Definitely wanted to look for my little pony and not for multi layer perceptrons
