Re:Tau² Benchmark: How a Prompt Rewrite Boosted GPT-5-Mini by 22%

This is very much what dspy aims to address. Learning the incantations necessary to prompt well can be replaced by an algorithmic loop and example labelled cases.
Re:Alternatives to Cosine Similarity
on Tuesday October 08, 2024 @02:37PM (#41780384)
This paper is always useful to remember when someone tells you to just use the cosine similarity: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.05440
Sure, it’s useful but make sure it’s appropriate for your embeddings and remember to run evals to check that things are ‘similar’ in the way that you want them to appear similar.
Eg is red similar to green just because they are colors

Transformers suffer from a quadratic bottleneck when calculating attention. Much work has been done investigating where memory can be saved by being more explicit on which attentions to calculate. This repo implements transformers with noted improvements

Re:What's so special about vector embeddings
on Wednesday May 05, 2021 @04:15AM (#27047436)
for all common models (GloVe, fastText, word2vec) the means across word embeddings are tightly concentrated around zero (relative to their dimensions), thus making the widely used cosine similarity practically equivalent to Pearson correlation https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/N19-1100/

You can train programmers because there is time and there aren’t often lives at stake. Nurses have to hit the ground running in specialist areas where there is (I’d assume) often little time to acquire all necessary skills in order to perform at the required level

There may be merit in tagging each of the words with their part of speech prior to fitting the model in a similar way to sense2vec. Using your example above you would then have 2 vectors, one for leaves|VERB and one for leaves|NOUN

There have been more of these fake video stories recently. Without wanting to get bogged down in politics, I have wondered if these stories are being ramped up to provide some plausible defence to possible 'tapes' mentioned in the Steele dossier? Not necessarily a legal defence, but enough to cast some doubt as to the legitimacy in the media

I use Monzo, I can see what I spent where, and eacd 'where' is part of a broader category so I can see what is being spent by category. It is the ui that banking has needed for a long time.
It must be relatively easy to only operate the liabilities side of banking, its the assets (loans) side I would expect to be the most difficult path to navigate for new banks.
Nothing on the Monzo roadmap re loans: https://trello.com/b/9tcaMB4w/monzo-transparent-product-road...
