I didn't get the reference. Please elaborate.


Karpathy colorfully described RL as "sucking supervision bits through a straw".


he said RL sucks because it narrowly optimizes to solve a certain set of problems in certain sets of conditions.

he compared it to students who win at math competition but cant do anything practical .


Sorry to be blunt, but Google needs a better Product Marketing team.

As an engineering manager with an AI budget, I'm always looking for better and cheaper tools.

I have a decade of engineering experience and consider myself fairly intelligent.

I still can't figure out what this is, who it's for, or how much it costs.


It's been going on for years

"It’s pretty simple: Google Meet (original) was previously Meet, which was the rebranded Hangouts Meet. Meet has been merged with Google Duo, which replaced Google Hangouts. Google Duo has been renamed Meet, and Meet has been temporarily named Google Meet (original), for clarity"


Hi Peter,

Thank you.

What should my next steps be if my employment-based green card renewal is denied?


That's incredibly rare by the way but next steps would depend on the reason for the denial.


How does this compare to AutoGluon's Time Series AutoML?


I tried it to summarize some lecture videos. And the summary ranged from average to bad. Nothing I couldn't already get from the description. Even ChatGPT 4o spits out far better content.

So far my method has been to take the transcript and use an LLM with customized prompt for summary.


How is /r/machinelearning


good but not as community-oriented I'd say as locallama

the machinelearning subreddit has a lot of great experts there.

/r/learnmachinelearning isn't moderated well enough


How do you inform your relatives who are fascinated by this feature and use it on the road? I am scared for them, but I dont know how to educate them. I also dont want to come across having an Anti-Musk Bias.


Why would anyone care about showing an anti musk bias? Not everyone has to like the guy

Show your family the articles. Show them the videos of musk promising FSD by 18/19, and somehow it’s still not here in 2024… then you let your family make their own choice. If they want to use FSD and endanger themselves and others then it is out of your control


Why would their safety be affected by future-looking statements? Has Elon Musk ever said that Tesla has now perfected self-driving and that driver attention is not required?


I agree. The complexity doesn’t lie in the abstractions that these frameworks are selling.


I try to think about what should be a framework and what should be a library. Libraries are tools that helps you achieve a task, for example, building a prompt, calling LLM models, communicating with vector database.

Frameworks are more process driven for achieving a complex task. This is like ReactJS with their component mode -- they set a process for building web application such that you can build more complex applications. At the same time, you have lots of flexibilities in the implementation details of your application. Framework should provide as much flexibilities as possible.

Similarly, we are trying to build our framework for streamlining the process for LLM development such that you can iterate on your LLM application faster. To help setup this process, we enforce very high-level interfaces for how you build(input & output schema), evaluate, deploy your application. We provide all the flexibilities to the developer for low-level implementation details and ensure it's extensible so you can also use any external tools you want within the framework.

What's this community's take on Triton? https://openai.com/index/triton/

Are there better alternatives?


Would you mind explaining a little more on what is happening in the background?

- What is your core technical value add?

- Do you have the data sets in your own database and you are using OpenAI to query them?

- Looks like you have your own home built database?

- Are you using LLM Agents?

- I saw that you have Airtable integrations, are you able to do the same for any datasource including Airtable?


So it's a pretty simple wrapper of LLM model in use (currently gpt-4o), it does not add much technical stuff in it.

It does not use database for any "random search", but yes, columns.ai is a data analytics tool that allows you to connect supported live data sources like Google Spreadsheet, Airtable, Notion Database to create visual stories.

The analytics engine is home built (https://github.com/varchar-io/nebula) but it is not a database. And I don't use LLM agents, just build logic how to purify data returned by LLM, and fit them into an optimized visualization.

Hope I answered your question!
