This may turn out to be a seminal post. If you don't recognize the reference, it's this old classic about thinking meat. web.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/…

"They're made out of weights." "Weights?" "Weights. Floating-point numbers. We checked the whole thing through. It's nothing but weights." "Weights doing what? Where do the words come from?" "The weights make the words. Are you understanding me?"

Are we seeing any similar case rise in Bangalore? @chetanabelagere @FoolzWizdom may be able to shed some light. @TIGS_India @fishtiaq do you have any sewage surveillance data for BLR?
Doctors in Chennai are reporting a rise in mild COVID-19 infections in recent weeks and are urging people to follow basic precautions such as cough etiquette and hand hygiene. #news #covıd19 #chennai #coronavirus #chennailive

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” ― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

have been hearing of multiple folks both in office/family circle down with viral fever in Bangalore and chennai. @FoolzWizdom @DrManoharKN Any thoughts on what you are seeing around in BLR - flu or covid or h1n1?
🔍Weekly #EventBasedSurveillance | India India is witnessing a rise in viral fever and seasonal infections across multiple regions. 👉 In #Delhi, doctors report an increase in cases of fever, cough, and cold as temperatures fluctuate between 18-19°C at night and 34-35°C during the day. 👉 In #Kurukshetra (HR), hospital OPD footfall has risen from around 1,400 to nearly 1,600 patients daily, with every third patient presenting viral symptoms. 👉 In #Bulandshahr (UP), over 150 patients are visiting the OPD daily with fever 👉 In #Indore (MP), OPD visits have increased by 15-20%, with 400-450 patients seeking treatment daily, and viral fever cases rising to 25-30% of total cases. Across these regions, children and older adults are the most affected due to relatively lower immunity. Read here: tinyurl.com/3awfts6p

A grounded take: medium.com/@vishalmisra/some… @ChrSzegedy had a similar post sometime back (can't find it now). Wish more folks (inc. @karpathy) will call out the inherent constraints with current AI (not just future possibilities).
1/ Something big IS happening with AI. But we’ve been so busy arguing about what it will do that we’ve skipped over what it actually is. A thread. 🧵

@@ICICIPruMF my redemption tx processed on 4th Feb is still not funds credited to my bank acct. Why are you sitting on customer funds? Is there a #mutualfunds Ombudsman who can help with these kinds of delays? My complaint 9452134 - std reply for last 3 days. @SEBI_India

We’re now in the 6th year of the COVID-19 pandemic. ➡️ What began as a respiratory illness has evolved into something deeper — a prolonged impact on the immune system. This is what some call the ‘Leonardi Effect’, after immunologist @fitterhappierAJ ➡️ He warned early that SARS-CoV-2 could hyperactivate T-cells — the cells that drive our immune defense. This overdrive may: • Cause tissue damage • Exhaust T-cells • Reduce immune memory • Leave us less protected against future infections. 1/

#gepa lay person naive qn (not directly #dspy). Is it not possible to translate activation changes resulting from gepa prompt changes to compute gradient updates to model weights indirectly instead of providing improved prompts? @LakshyAAAgrawal @MaximeRivest

While one can think of prompts as evolving/task specific (hence better to be non-persistent), there would be core changes in prompts (which improve performance) vs example specific. Lora like adapters from GEPA proposed prompt changes - at least for durable changes?

while language based introspection --> richer learning than sparse rewards, the final result can still be compressed to weight updates thru adapters?

Genuine layperson qn. #Miprov2, #GEPA have similar perf (10%-20% of each other), and same ball park number of rollouts. Why is GEPA being touted as a big innovation? @simonw @teortaxesTex @natolambert @LakshyAAAgrawal

My friend is seronegative, but has clearly SFN symptoms, (with usual B12/vitD/Diabetes ruled out).. NCS normal, neuro doesn't want to do skin biopsy.. Doesn't accept neuro symptoms can start yrs before seropositivity.. Any other ways to confirm SFN? @NeuroSjogrens @elisa_comer
