Okay, who’s got a 4k Blu-Ray rip of Twin Peaks The Return Part 8?

New prompt to try out in midjourney

Ever wanted to do deep learning with a neural net that is one-to-one mapped to 65.05% of the fruit fly brain? 😄
Before this year ends, I will quickly advertise our code release of `flyvis.`
Docs: t.ly/YqWzR
Repo: t.ly/pMWpp
Work with @jakhmack.bsky.social, @srinituraga.bsky.social and colleagues

Mars Express is the most cyberpunk animation I've seen since Ghost in the Shell. I'm amazed by the attention to detail, the depth of the characters, and the supremacy of style above all else—not to mention the stunning animation.

Statistical analysis, archaeology, class struggle, mysterious Ismaili games from India: Board Game Studies is easily my all-time favorite journal, tied only with Lingua Aegyptia. Finally getting around to reading Vol 18 from Oct ‘24.

I like the way the Christian author of *The Cloud of Unknowing* describes contemplative prayer:
"Come to rest in a naked, blind feeling of your own being, and let go of the conceit that it's yours."*

* "conceit" is how you spelled "concept" in Middle English

‘Prayer is not a request for something: it is an expression of a mode of being, a means of existing and causing to exist…Prayer is the highest form, the supreme act, of the Creative Imagination.’

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. 🧵

Science slowly catching up with an idea that emerged 25 hundreds yrs ago in Gangetic Plain.

Observing model's convergence is like looking at fire
Watching a big model slowly converge is really addictive. It feels like I'm (vicariously) doing so much productive work.

Great sources re baroque music
It's Beethoven's birthday and I spent 2024 learning obsessively about classical music so wanted to do a thread that might be inspirational for the curious.
I'm not a classical guy btw but I always wanted to take the time to learn enough to know my way around and now I do!

I will soon delete all my twitter posts, so in the next few days I will be recycling some of my most liked tweets, in random order. The first one had to be a shitpost, of course

Monitoring for dummies
1. Basic stuff
- How many people use it
- How fast it answers
- If it crashes
2. What goes in
- Check what users ask
- Look for bad requests
- Watch for attacks
3. What comes out
- Are answers good?
- Do they make sense?
- Are they safe?

A simple experiment you can do is buy a server, set up a website with nothing on it, then look at the access logs. All day, every day, there are random systems just blasting vulnerabilities at every device on the internet. Analysts call it "background noise", executives call it "cyber attacks".

looks great! would be even better if all data stayed on localhost though
I can't begin to describe how life-changing this new project, ShellSage, has been for me over the last few weeks.
ShellSage is an LLM that lives in your terminal. It can see what directory you're in, what commands you've typed, what output you got, & your previous AI Q&A's.🧵

As R&D staff @ answer.ai, I work a lot on boosting productivity with AI. A common theme that always comes up is the combination of human+AI. This combination proved to be powerful in our new project ShellSage, which is an AI terminal buddy that learns and teaches with you. A 🧵

Can't speak to this instance, but it's frequent enough that when working with time series data, I reindex w/ expected frequency. Ex:
```
full_range = pd.date_range(df['day'].min(), df['day'].max(), freq='D')
df = df.set_index('day').reindex(full_range).reset_index()
```
Then search for nulls
```
full_range = pd.date_range(df['day'].min(), df['day'].max(), freq='D')
df = df.set_index('day').reindex(full_range).reset_index()
```
Then search for nulls
