Re:Harnessing the Universal Geometry of Embeddings on Tuesday June 03, 2025 @11:55AM (#44171380)
Hey, I read the paper in detail and presented to colleagues during our reading group.

I still do not understand exactly where D1L comes from in LGan(D1L, T(A1(u)). Is D1L simply A1(u)?

I also find that mixing notation in figure 2 and 3 makes it tricky.

Would have loved to have more insights from the results in the tables.

And more results from inversion, on more than Enron dataset. Since that is one end goals, even if reusing another method.

Thank you for the paper, very interesting!

Do the captured elements move a lot during this snapshot? since it will take months? Is the difference significant?
This comes from the same group as the EfficientViT model. A few months ago, their EfficientViT model was the only modern and small ViT style model I could find that had raw pytorch code available. No dependencies to the shitty framework and libraries that other ViT are using.

Re:Mamba: The Easy Way on Friday February 23, 2024 @12:53PM (#39483873)
The mamba paper shows significant improvements in all model sizes, up to 1b, the largest one tested.

Are there any reason why it wouldn't scale to 7b or more? Have they tried it?

I actually tried this last year, before OpenAI released their cheaper embeddings v2 in december. From my experiments, when compared to Bert embeddings (or recent variation of the model) the OpenAI embeddings are miles ahead when doing similarity search.

Re:Deep Learning Papers Are Kinda Bullsh-T on Tuesday July 19, 2022 @10:59AM (#32152441)
One detail some might not realize is the fact that research code is often a heaping pile of garbage written by a single graduate student. Some are ashamed of their code and simply don't want to publish shit code. Also, strategically, it is probably better to _not_ publish code than risk being rejected by a future job interviewer because your research code is shitty and you didn't prioritize refactoring it.

With that being said, this is not an excuse for refusing to share paper code or making sure the experiments are reproducible.

Did you know you can enable ssh by placing a file at a specific place on the SD card?

From the documentation page on remote access

For headless setup, SSH can be enabled by placing a file named ssh, without any extension, onto the boot partition of the SD Card. When the Raspberry Pi boots, it looks for the ssh file. If it is found, SSH is enabled and the file is deleted.

Re:Django 4.0 will include a built-in Redis cache back end on Friday September 17, 2021 @05:14PM (#28570960)
Last year I tried Huey for a project where usage was very lightweight. Performance was more than enough with SQLite. Unfortunately Huey with SQLite was not great at handling unexpected crashes like server and docker restarts.

Switching to Redis solved all of these issues.

Maybe it's better now.

Re:How to Replace Docker with Podman on a Mac on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @05:10PM (#28463112)
I assume `podman-machine` is different than `podman machine`

See Marcos install https://podman.io/getting-started/installation

Also there are active issues and PR related to `podman machine`.

Re:How to Replace Docker with Podman on a Mac on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @05:00PM (#28463000)
Now there is `podman machine` which makes most of this article outdated.

Tested podman to replace docker (the cli) on a mac yesterday Most of it works fine. They have an easy way to setup a vm now with `podman machine`: https://podman.io/getting-started/installation#macos

If you want the management GUI, install cockpit: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-podman

Try podman, you'll be impressed.
