I’m gonna simply say this: if you are at all interested in a Stargate show with ANY of the original creators/performers involved, now is the time to say something. Otherwise it really will be the end of that chapter forever. Let them know you are THERE
Hey Stargate Fans please let @amazon and @AmazonMGMStudio know how you feel about them cancelling #Stargate
They MOCK us. They think they don't need us. Let them know what you think of that.
I won't be watching ANY other Stargate that is created without the OG creators /Gero being involved.
I'm DONE with studios SHITTING ON THE FANS AND KILLING IPS WE LOVE.

So, this is it then? No more OOMs of scaling, no more speculation about whether GPT-5, 6 or 7 would be AGI. The performance wasn't even good enough to brand it as GPT-5. The diminishing returns finally kicked in and this is as far as we'll get just from scaling pretraining.
GPT-4.5 has entered the Chat.

Anyone else having audio issues with @TSN_Sports right now? It’s all static #SuperBowlLIX
ChatGPT model naming conventions are terrible.
The interface has no less than 7 different model options to choose from...
Headlines about inflation are getting annoying.
Why do people expect prices to go DOWN, when inflation is still a positive number?

Congratulations to COP 475 for continuing to under deliver!
Don't worry about it, I'm sure you will get it right next time!!!

LLMs are powerful sequence modeling tools! They not only can generate language, but also actions for playing video games, or numerical values for forecasting time series. Can we help LLMs better model these continuous "tokens"? Our answer: Fourier series! Let me explain… 🧵(1/n)

unpopular opinion: ML conferences should charge $100 per submission. For accepted papers this would count towards the registration fee of the attending author, so it's free. Extra funds collected could be used eg. for replication studies or other improvement to the review process

Let me share a lecture from my ML for Physics course at @EPFL_en, where I derive the Boltzmann machine from the maximum entropy principle and use it to motivate the attention mechanism and a simple transformer architecture. Enjoy!

This mini-review is based on Hugo Cui's PhD thesis: arxiv.org/abs/2409.13904 . My advice to him was: "Write something you would have loved to have when you started your PhD!" He did an outstanding job introducing the rich methods he developed. Enjoy and share widely!
Today the Nobel committee has confirmed my long-held definition of Physics:
Things I find interesting.

John Hopfield has a nice article in the annual reviews of condensed matter physics. It starts off with a discussion of what physics is, which I think is totally on point.
I remember when I started working on ML many years ago and people told me it wasn't physics
BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”
