I worked on this. Yay! 🤗
I'll get straight to the point.
We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT.
Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff.
It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵

How did you figure out how to make yourself suffer less? What kinda experimentation and help did it take? Please give examples if possible. Broad on purpose.

At a recital yesterday, a performer introduced her original song explaining it was inspired by Ballerina Farm.
She is, I learned, an Utah tradwife influencer, whose husband came off so badly in a recent profile, that now strangers in San Francisco are writing songs about her.
Beware journalists!

This thread makes good points but misses the big one: selection.
A feed is so highly selected that the average quality of interlocutors is just off the charts.
In a real party of randos, I’d be astonished to meet just one person as engaging as many accounts I follow (like OP for instance)

besides note-taking and RSS feed reasons, it's really addicting to have other intelligent people converse with you on social media, once you have filtered out the noise aspects,

mammoth munchers are still among us.
With all this talk about Mastodon, I can't believe I haven't told my lovely moots about the time I (sorta, technically) ate (part of) a real wooly mammoth
Perhaps some type of gargantuan pachyderm

A question for ML/AI folks: what is some public, numerical evidence which shows the prevalence of encoder-only models (like BERTs) vs decoder-only models (like GPTs)?
Numbers like, total count of all inferences per month, over all systems everywhere?

Had a large tooth extracted, leaving a useless gap way in the back of my mouth.
Seems like a waste.
How long until I can stick a small Bluetooth bone-conduction headset there so I can silently talk to AIs?

Got more than 8 hours sleep last night, something I do only a couple times a year.
I feel remarkable!
Is this normal? Something I can do every night, or it has dangerous addiction potential?
Sign of an underlying malady?
Margaret Thatcher needed 3 hours?

ChatGPT says toothaches hurt worse around 3am because circadian rhythms lead to lower cortisol, higher inflammation, and more pain.
But wouldn’t this increase all sorts of pain around 3am? 🤔
Also, please help me, what are some effective remedies for toothache??? 😩

Loving this news that there’s a magic phrase which gets you insta-perma-banned from blue sky.
But what is it? Can you whisper it to me safely if we turn the lights off? When you feel a chill in the air, is it bc the neighbor said it?
This is like scary campfire stories for social media users. 👻🫣

I know this will sound moronic and childish but … what did Pluto ever do to this guy to get killed off as a planet? Why’s he bragging about this?
Yeah it was always too small but so what?? What was this hurting?
Does petty naming consistency advance knowledge? Or is it just astral body bullying?😡

Trying to convince myself this so insanely tricky because of an Equipment Issue (borrowing my father’s solder and soldering iron which are literally decades old) … but I’m pretty sure it’s a Skill Issue.
Well, time for a new skill. :)

Chess folks, is there an easy app/service where you can upload a video of a chess game on a physical board, and download a move history and an analysis?
My family is getting into chess, we’re starting from zero. Yes there’s resources online for analyzing digital games. But physical boards are fun.

This table rates the happiness of hummingbirds at 7. I wonder about that!
In fact, I was asking Claude about their metabolism just five minutes before I ran into this, because I think it suggests they likely lead lives of profound anxiety.
