let here be reactions too.

I agree crypto & defi are often controversial but where else do you get so much nerd-wild-west fun?

Voxel 3D light field rendering, a thing which I dreamed of building since high school, tried to build multiple times back in 2010, somewhat succeeded in 2015. Made possible by neural networks now. IMHO This is the future of 3d art and entertainment. Unlimited detail, lighting effects of any complexity, etc etc.

(Try different rendering modes, it's all glitchy but it's starting to work!)

i honestly don't know if this goes here or into the other channel 😂

the dark side of indistinguishability obfuscation: machine learning models can encode arbitrary functions, therefore provably undetectable backdoors as well

hmm, guys from Stanford claim that for instruction-tuning LLaMA 7B is enough. good! waiting for the fine-tuning code 🧐

interesting. the fact that it’s a hybrid embedding/prediction model sounds very… logical.

so you can chug along without attention just fine it seems

Don't expect it to code but curious if this is usable as a LoRA or similar baseline - also need to look closer at their tokenizer setup, must be way different from GPT
