Really we should be thinking about how to prepare students for life in the twenty-first century. I'm not convinced clever ways to prevent them from using machine learning are a big part of doing that.

Turned on federation again in light of recent Twitter implosion and resulting instances worth federating with.

Right now I federate with https://sigmoid.social/

Sigmoid Social

A social space for people researching, working with, or just interested in AI!

Trained a super-resolution Stable Diffusion model (before SD2 introduced an "official" one): https://twitter.com/Buntworthy/status/1593266512474824704?s=20

In principle that’s ground for rapprochement. Critics could say “look, we were right about what was missing, and they’ve had to adjust their strategy—which is now better.” But that doesn’t seem to be happening; instead a critique that was originally “this won’t work” is hardening and turning into “this must not be allowed to work.” https://irisvanrooijcogsci.com/2023/01/14/stop-feeding-the-hype-and-start-resisting/

Three weeks ago, I wrote a blogpost about how ChatGPT is a “stochastic parrot” (a term coined by Bender, Gebru, McMillan-Major, & Shmitchell, 2021; see also this video for an explan…

If anyone ever needs to compute the integral of softplus (2-fold integral of sigmoid), it's -Li_2(-exp(x)) where Li_2 is the dilogarithm, and you can find a very good and fast numerical approximation to the dilogarithm of real argument in https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.01678.

Comparison of methods for the calculation of the real dilogarithm regarding instruction-level parallelism

We compare different methods for the computation of the real dilogarithm regarding their ability for using instruction-level parallelism when executed on appropriate CPUs. As a result we present an instruction-level-aware method and compare it to existing implementations.

The Covid bivalent vaccine booster works better than expected.
I've reviewed the cumulative data

That's in contrast to a

I tell you what, having Semantic Scholar send you mail saying there are articles matching your filters "occult" and "folklore" and not worky stuff is a giant mood boost. #search
