If you write in Python, you need to use an IDE, which provides your with a platform for writing, debugging, and executing code. Today there are several IDEs that you can use, both commercial and open-source ones. The only problem is to choose the right one. In this article, we will discuss the top Python IDEs, as well as the factors to consider when choosing the best IDE for your needs. What is an IDE? An IDE (Integrated […]
After a bit of a hiatus, I’m finally back to putting out in blog form what I find interesting in the world of brain imaging. I like the idea of keeping up a more regular pace in putting out incompletely finalized thoughts out there. There are a few things I want to write about. Some are controversies, some are book or reviews, some are summaries of activities in my group, some cover new areas, and some are attempts […]
The Rust programming language has been gaining more supporters in the developer community thanks to its focus on performance, safety, concurrency, and a rich ecosystem of libraries. In this blog post, we offer a concise overview of some noteworthy Rust libraries, selected based on their functionality and popularity among developers. What is a Rust library? In Rust, a library, commonly termed as a “crate,” provides precompiled routines (functions), scripts, and modules, allowing programmers to avoid redundant implementations. There […]
In our Haskell in Production series, we interview developers and technical leaders from companies that use Haskell for real-world tasks. We cover benefits, downsides, common pitfalls, and tips for building useful Haskell products. Our today’s guest is Leo Zhang, who works in the engineering team at FOSSA – a tool for open-source risk management. In the interview, we talk about his experience using Haskell in FOSSA’s backend analysis services and CLI. Read further to learn about the benefits […]
One of the many people who saw the incorrect Google Quick Answer about Kenya was an editor at The Atlantic who asked Caroline Mimbs Nyce, one of their reporters, to look into it. Caroline interviewed me for the article they just published which focused on the challenges Google is facing in the age of AI-generated content. From the article: Given how nonsensical this response is, you might not be surprised to hear that the snippet was originally written […]
In a recent interview to CBS Mornings, Dr Geoffrey Hinton, the ‘godfather of AI’, shared his concerns about the state of artificial intelligence. The person who has built the first neural nets and dedicated much of his career to the study of artificial intelligence, is worried that AI might eventually become smarter than people, and what happens next is hard to predict. AI agents make these concerns even more solid. If you go to YouTube and look at […]
NLP and ML have gone through several phases of how models are trained in recent years. With the arrival of pre-trained models such as BERT, fine-tuning pre-trained models for downstream tasks became the norm. The increasing capabilities of ever larger models then enabled in-context learning via prompting. Recently, instruction tuning has become the newest method to make LLMs useful. This post covers a range of widely used instruction tuning datasets, as well as important characteristics of instruction tuning […]
A recurring topic of discussion on the OpenAI forums, on Reddit, and on Twitter is about what ChatGPT’s knowledge cutoff date actually is. It seems like it should be straightforward enough to figure out (just ask it), but it can be confusing due to ChatGPT’s inconsistent answers about its cutoff month, differences from official documentation, and varying capabilities between the API and playground. ChatGPT’s knowledge cutoff is of interest to me because I run Preceden, an AI timeline […]
Tech conferences are major gatherings for staying abreast of the fast-paced world of modern technology. These events bring together industry experts, professionals, and enthusiasts from around the world to share insights, innovations, and forward-looking perspectives. In this article, we provide an extensive guide to key tech conferences in 2024 across various fields, including AI and machine learning, functional programming, fintech, and more. We have covered events scheduled from January to June 2024, since the dates and programming for […]
Hi there, Jay here again with updates from LLM land! I’ve recently put together a bunch of videos and collaborated with some of my ML heros to create a course about semantic search with LLMs on Deeplearning AI. Here’s a run down of them, and and update about our upcoming book. Thanks for reading Language Models and Machine Learning! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Video: ChatGPT has Never Seen a SINGLE Word […]
