@dlwh Just applied for the channel :) thanks

Oh and if you made it this far, you should come hang out in our discord: marin.community for the link

So about a month ago, Percy posted a version of this plot of our Marin 32B pretraining run. We got a lot of feedback, both public and private, that the spikes were bad. (This is a thread about how we fixed the spikes. Bear with me. )

@Customer6_team This is unacceptable considering the cost of a business ticket!!

@ITAAirways I’m a business class flyer flying from Dakar and your desk is not open 3 hours before as you suggest and with no online check in available, there is no way we can wait in the lounge. Your client service desk is empty. There is no way to reach out to you. Unacceptable

@Customer6_team To continue, business tickets do not allow you access to the Odysse lounge (that I had to pay out of my pocket) nor the topkapi lounge (as of today according to their staff). However your website clearly state those are the ones reserved for your clients.

@DAIRInstitute yet another example …

@elonmusk @unusual_whales Ask truthGPT

@unusual_whales Is all this just about raising the pension age from 62 to 64 or is there more to it?

This week protesters entered Euronext, the Paris Stock Exchange, as anger over President Macron's pension reform continues to rise, per Bloomberg:

@danielbloureiro Well deserved! Enjoy the drinks!

NLP hivemind: is there any good off-the-shelf word alignment tool? I want to know which words in an input sentence are translated to which words in the output. #nlproc #machinetranslation

Did you know, that you can build a virtual machine inside ChatGPT? And that you can use this machine to create files, program and even browse the internet? engraved.blog/building-a-vir…

New paper in Science today on playing the classic negotiation game "Diplomacy" at a human level, by connecting language models with strategic reasoning! Our agent engages in intense and lengthy dialogues to persuade other players to follow its plans. This was really hard! 1/5

@tallinzen @boknilev Yeah… ACL on this regard sucked … really, 1.5k scientists and no all you can drink coffee?? What was that?

@boknilev They'd better have coffee available between breaks for that price

$775 for early registration for #NAACL2022 a non-student!?

@boknilev Inflation is real xD I feel like ACL confs are getting a bit too expensive compared to previous years

New work on autoregressive language models for retrieval! We train our model, SEAL (Search Engines with Autoregressive LMs) to produce text snippets occurring somewhere in the corpus, in relevant documents. We use the generated ngrams to rank documents in the corpus. Thread 👇

I [experiencer] am happy [cue] for @caesar_one_’s first paper in #ACL2022 [stimulus] 🤓 #NLProc

@yoavgo Having a tool like twitter fully managed and controlled by one person only is quite scarry to me tbh. Especially if that person is Musk

putting aside the fact that this will technically not work, this is the same person who funds OpenAI with their very much closed black-box algorithms, yes? also, i don't see Tesla putting its blackbox driving algorithm on github...
