Training with large minibatches is bad for your health.
More importantly, it's bad for your test error.
Friends dont let friends use minibatches larger than 32. arxiv.org/abs/1804.07612

Canada should revoke access to our free healthcare to non citizens
If citizens can't get family doctors, why are we giving access to so called "asylum" seekers?

Rust is such a beautiful language for working with genomic data. Clean syntax, functional programming, and extremely fast.

Excellent blog post from Turing Post on JEPA (Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture), my favorite meta-architecture for Self-Supervised Learning of continuous data, such as images, video, and audio.
The post includes a list of relevant papers from my collaborators and me, as well as part of the growing list of papers from other groups that use JEPA for various things: audio, EEG, SAR, LIDAR, etc.
A small clarification: JEPA is not an alternative to transformers. I'm fact, many JEPA systems use transformer modules.
It is an alternative to Auto-Regressive Generative Architectures (such as LLMs), regardless of whether they use transformers.

Haha, we agree with the post! Respect to @tenstorrent who actually sells chips with a price on the website.
There's a reason @GroqInc and @cerebras don't list prices. They know they aren't competitive.
And then there's companies like @Etched who make chips in Blender.

I think this will happen sooner than you think but will be too expensive for wide use. Sort of like high end pro graphics were before PC gaming GPUs
