>with ~31% originating from Europe (East and West combined).

I think the parent comment was referring to the idea that the overwhelmingy majority of those "Europeans" we're rather people of MENA/Turkish immigrant background, not "ethnically" European.


Even if that's what the parent comment was implying it still wouldn't be correct; much more than 5% of ISIS' fighters were "crazies" from "Indonesia, Chechnya, etc".


>it pays for itself with more energy and focus throughout the day (and better sleep quality).

...for some people.


>IMHO Having a guiding principle or view doesn’t mean the guardian is under influence

Whether they do this out of their own conviction or due to external influence is ultimately secondary. The Guardian is taking a clear side in the culture war and subjects her reporting to it. Check out their reporting on topics like race, immigration, gender relations, or the Middle East.


Not the parent, but in my case it was the attempt to optimize the process of falling asleep, in any way possible, after years of sleeping problems. There are a lot of articles, books or YT videos compiling tips and tricks. 4-7-8 breathing is another common advice.

After I had been diagnosed with sleep apnea, I received a prescription for an APAP machine (auto-adjusting pressure, in contrast to constant-pressure CPAP). Unfortunately, I still wake up every night after ~3 hours of sleep with a feeling of suffocating and panicking which makes me take off the breathing mask. Therefore I have yet to experience any positive effects from using the APAP machine to treat the apnea.

Any advice from somebody who has gone through the same thing?


I’m sure it has occurred to you to try CPAP; was it ruled out by your pulmonologist? If the pressure is incorrect enough to wake you up gasping, “it ain’t workin’”. As a CPAP user, being able to access the hidden control menu for my device was key: it allowed me to change the pressure, the ramp, and other runtime configuration that really improved my experience - which improved my compliance and thus my energy level (and that small thing of not being at risk of sleep-death!). You have to press a certain combo of buttons to access, maybe your APAP has something similar?



>Snorkel-Mistral-PairRM-DPO

The naming of these models is getting ridiculous...


I kind of disagree. It's not "user friendly" but it is very descriptive. They are codenames afterall. Take "dolphin-2.6-mistral-7b-dpo-laser" for instance : with a little LLM background knowledge, just from the name you know it is a 7 billion parameters model based on Mistral, with a filtered dataset to remove alignment and bias (dolphin), version 2.6 and using the techniques described in the Direct Preference Optimization (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.18290.pdf) and Laser (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.13558.pdf) papers to improve its output.


And here I was thinking they were somehow using the first three words from my Bitcoin wallet.


Thank you for a great and informative explanation despite my somewhat ignorant take.

I'm an occasional visitor to huggingface, so I'm actually superficially familiar with the taxonomy. I just felt like, even if I tried to satirize it, I wouldn't be able to come up with a crazier name. And that's not even the end of the Cambrian explosion of LLMs.


A bit like the User-Agent string.

Answering the GP's point regarding why deep learning textbooks, articles, and blog posts are full of sentences that begin with "We think..." and "We're not sure, but..." and "It appears that..."

What's yours?


What makes you think that those who'd want that kind of interaction, haven't already done so?

Or is it rather that you want direct access to high-value individuals and experts?

Personally, I can see many more downsides to having scrapable contact info:

- crypto-peddling

- soliciting for jobs and investments

- social engineering attacks

- de-platforming for "politically incorrect" statements made 5 years ago


Do victims of violent criminals receive the same kind of support to start businesses, learn programming or to enroll in a degree?


Use pattern matching (Regular Expressions) or language-specific heuristics to identify code snippets. Code snippets often have distinct patterns, such as indentation or the presence of common programming keywords.

Or easier, if your LLM allows it, give it instructions to initiate and end your code with a marker - everything inbetween those markers is code.
