Attached: 1 image Here's a flow chart of how the fediverse works. You don't ever see all of the fediverse from one instance. The vast majority of what you see is people followed by people on your instance. Hashtag searches are limited to that, too. So if you want to make your bit of the fediverse good, you have to: 1) Boost cool stuff to all your followers on other instances, especially if they contain hashtags; 2) Use hashtags. #mastodon #meta #FAQ

Mastodon tip: if you want to share a Mastodon post, *always* expand and click "Copy link to post" instead of copying from the URL bar, as the URL bar will be tied to your specific instance.

Belated advertising for our NeurIPS 2022 paper. ReLU-based policies partition the input space into piecewise linear regions. How many regions are there? (Ans: related to # neurons; only weakly related to depth). Does the region density increase in areas that the policy learns to visit? (yes, moderately). See here for other lessons learned: https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~van/papers/2022-NeurIPS-understanding/index.html
