I just uploaded a 90 minute tutorial, which is designed to be the one place I point coders at when they ask "hey, tell me everything I need to know about LLMs!"
It starts at the basics: the 3-step pre-training / fine-tuning / classifier ULMFiT approach used in all modern LLMs.

New study on the distinction b/w empathy and compassion. We find empathy = more self focus & negative emotion, whereas compassion = more other focus & positive emotion. Moral implications?

This is enraging and gross behavior from @TempleUniv and we all need to completely freak out
ALT Dear Temple Student: As a result of your participation in the TUGSA strike, your tuition remission has been removed for the spring semester. You now owe the full balance listed in TUpay, which is due by Thursday. March 9. If your balance is not paid-in-full by the due date, you will be assessed a $100 late payment fee and a financial hold will be placed on your student account. This hold will prevent future registration. For your convenience, you can make payment online by clicking TUpay Student Account. Thank you, The Bursar's Office

In 1977, media prophet Marshall McLuhan discussed CIA and FBI surveillance, and then turned it into one of the most mind-bending riffs on identity in the digital age I've ever heard.
Thanks L'Impératrice for spending 690 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Agitations tropicales. #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/artist/4Pwl…

Pretty brutal set of quotes from Google executives in privacy lawsuit just unsealed. And on the same day as Google’s massive location data settlement. 1/2
If you have any interest in data visualization or how to bring complex data to the point of insight and compelling narrative, take this opportunity! Kevin is brilliant and delightful.
