I’m seeing normal people freaking out about TPOT live on my skyline right now and it’s making me realize that Twitter was so insular that there really were “parts” and they didn’t interact with each other.

This craziness is different and I’m all here for it.

The worst part of building a new ML pipeline is the very first training runs on a few mini-batches. Crossing my fingers, waiting anxiously for a few seconds hoping that the loss goes down. Then waiting again for a few minutes to visualize the overfitted results. It gets so much easier after that.

So I just spent like an hour writing wrapper classes to move data between dicts and python data classes so I could use someone else’s ML target generation code and at this point I think it might have been faster to just write my own target gen code 🤦‍♀️

Aren’t all python objects dictionaries anyway?

Ok who knows NPR

@jay.bsky.social NPR left the birdcage today. Maybe it’d be a good opportunity for someone to send them some invite codes and see if they’d like to try out bsky?

NPR quits Twitter after being falsely labeled as 'state-affiliated media'
NPR's official Twitter feeds have gone silent. The news organization cites the social media platform's decision to question NPR's editorial independence through a series of inaccurate labels.

I'm Max I fell in love with ML bcus the math of neural nets is really fucking cool. currently working on data pruning at for.ai. information is the defining feature of the information age and it increasingly looks like LLMs might be the interface btwn ppl and info, so likely to stick here for a bit!

New people means it's a good time for intros. New or old, intro yourself in this thread & let's make some new mutuals! Intro threads should be the new number threads. I'll start & tag some folks to go next.

Oh boy. This will either go very well or very poorly. Fellow tech enthusiasts, please be on your best behavior. Let’s try to make a good first impression and keep the ✨vibes✨ wholesome.

I want to have an ai agent that I can send it things I find interesting, and it will 1) crawl related items for me, 2) monitor the content every now and then for any new updates, and 3) put all of them in a vector database for searching

I think a lot of it has to do with the freshness of not having little GCs. It’s like a fragmented part of tpot just got back together and now we all have to interact in public. Kinda neat actually.
this app is way more fun it’s kinda scary

ngl vibes here are pretty immaculate. like being at a party before it gets going. you know a lot of the people & if you don’t, they’re prob friends with a mutual. everyone’s just having a good time

My "what's hot" tab is a mix of techbro shitposting and people's wives/families... It's weirdly wholesome?
when i first joined bluesky it was all just people posting pictures of their pets and scenery. now it's technology brothers and sisters memeing and im ok with this

Okay so idk how to tag the developers but not having a dark mode on the web-app is both searing my eyeballs and ruining my desire to continue browsing or posting.

Yes I know the iOS app has a dark mode, but typing on phone keyboards is inferior and you can't convince me otherwise.

Is it just me or are push notifications completely broken on this app? As in I don’t get push notifications for anything? And there’s no settings for notifications either 🤦‍♀️

It may sound obvious but the whole appeal of “social” media is the people on it. I’d heard of bsky before but had literally 0 interest until a critical mass of ppl I know showed up.

Maybe this will be a chance to meet cool new people, maybe it’ll all fizzle out by next week 🤷‍♀️
