Super! I am curious, after having seen much praise of Kimi K2, are you planning to add an evaluation of it to the leaderboard?

Those are all good arguments, and I want to drag this conversation on!
But wouldn’t be amazing to automatise & improve public transport instead of having more cars, even though those additional ones are now AVs. Note, I am living in a city with good public transport where a car is not needed.

Sure they do, I was not implying Copenhagen has substantially better public transport. Rather that improving public transport is more cost effective than AVs.

While I can understand the excitement about AVs, in this discussion, I always wonder why not go for a less exciting but more cost-efficient solution, aka improve public transport systems, e.g., autonomous subways like in Copenhagen.
Having an autonomous solution for individuals seems wasteful.

I’m happily taking the heat for all of the slightly more junior folks who might not know. 😅

Because JMLR already existed when I started with ML research and I haven’t heard the whole story. What was the story behind JMLR?

The JMLR story and operating model should be widely known in academia as a clear success story for full open access. I have friends in the humanities and pure sciences that have no clue this is even possible

Five pounds makes you expect quite a bit though. Enjoy!

Must be an insane amount of work. Where is this?

This one looks truly amazing! Now I need to go to a French bakery to drown my jealousy in croissants and coffee.

I remember overhearing US big tech employees at this year's ICLR discussing satellite images of Chinese computing centres. There seems to be a strange fear and secrecy-fueled attitude atm.

Wait until you talk to someone from computer vision. 10 years is stone-age-old in CV terms.

I’m curious, do you think that you would then have enough agency to maintain the code base or would you crank up an LLM agent again?

Good point, prototyping makes total sense to me.

On the other hand, as someone with extensive coding experience, I would never use an LLM to actually do coding for me. This makes no sense to me as you are not building a mental map of the codebase if you aren’t actually writing and planning the code.

I became a big fan of Grammarly, which I suppose is some language model in the background, to provide suggestions for rephrasing. It’s a bit hit and miss but some suggestions did help improve my writing style.
