And why use readable variable names? "aA=q_(c8z,fW8)"

Seriously though, almost all the examples in TFA are of rewriting existing code. It may be that Python is still best for the rapid dev iteration. Then sure, cross-compile into Rust via the LLM.

Plus, If we care about token usage counts, Python has a lot more opportunities for compact "import thing_I_need" than having to generate entire libraries in Rust.

I honestly expected the demand to be "Release GTA 6 soon or else we will". ...The fact that they're just demanding money is a little disappointing. ;-)

That was tedious to read. No stable diffusion bugs were ever found. Title is simply wrong. Mod down to spare others.

An intuitive introduction to adding inference controls to pretrained (latent) flow-based generative models

Read to the end and... what was the point of that? Where's the payoff?

There was a claim near the top that some things are easier to compute when viewed as cracovians. then some explanation, then suddently it switches to numpy and showing the time is the same.

New title: "Cracovians are a Waste of (the Reader's) Time"?

I was expecting to see some mention of CoreWeave's recent acquisition of Weights & Biases. This is a glaring omission.

Paraphrase: ML in Julia is for Serious Scientists Doing Very Sciencey Things. Things you wouldn’t understand. But your desire to train deep learning models on GPUs and deploy them as apps elsewhere? ...Aw, c’mon, that’s boring. You can just use PyTorch for that. Now, who's up for a new round of Neural ODE benchmarks?!

I naively expected this article to include a link to the paper somewhere in it, so we could decide for ourselves. Oh well.

All I see is a filtered woman on the left and a different unfiltered woman on the right, the whole time. At what time does the glitch occur?

Agreed. Is this an example of the patriarchal bias of science leaving women out of the telling of history -- finally being set straight by our friends at NPR -- or leftist revisionism trying to ascribe extremely inordinate influence to one member of a large team just because she happened to be female?

If one is assigning parentage, would Lyman Spitzer be the "father" of the Hubble telescope? Perhaps it had many "fathers" but only one "mother"?

EDIT: MichaelMoser123's added info and quotes are helpful. Merits updating the Wikipedia page to give her greater(/any) credit.

> Nobody cares how long it takes to train a model.

LOTS of people care how long it takes to train a model. A few minutes, vs. a day, vs. a week, vs. a month? Yea, that matters.

Think about how long it takes to try out different hyperparameters or make other adjustments while conducting research...

If you're Google maybe you don't care as much because you can fire off a hundred different jobs at once, but if you're a resource-limited mere mortal, yea, that wait time adds up.
