not sure if true, but if you look at laya they use BERT type models. If jev is also using a BERT-type model it is autoregressive and therefore can't reason in the way that GPT-type models can. However, you get the advantage of being able to attend in both directions.

Luckily for everyone including Guilhermo he can't dunk on the situation since x.com is down as well.

Feels like you could make a fun game out of guessing where in the image you in the most zoomed in level.

I think reading weekly news instead of daily news helps you stay in the loop, but cuts out a lot of information junk.

That being said I’m still looking for some good weekly news(papers) in English.

Would love some recommendations.

My main use case for this is: I get some random data file thrown at me. Could be json, csv, xlsx anything that has data that can somehow be interpreted somewhat tabular and I want to find out quickly what's going on.

You can really go from not knowing what's in a file to a decent understanding in less than a minute.

It's kind of fun to see that this has been posted several times on hn before, but never took off.

e.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8454570 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10086156 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=803901

In this one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1472611 the URI is actually broken - not sure if it changed or if it just was a mistake of OP back then.

Hey,

Recently I have been working a lot with semantic sentence encoding. For example for some semantic search use cases or semantic clustering.

As a sort of demo and way to explore the potential and limitations of semantic encoding, I thought it would be fun to build this small side project together with a colleague.

It's basically a HN clone based of VueJS' HN clone with the small twist of having the top 3 semantically most similar together with the current HN stories.

I have been using this for some time for myself now and I find sometimes some fun stories come up. It doesn't always work so great, but see for yourself.

I added a feature for ranking how similar you perceive the story to be. If enough people make use of the ranking feature it could be possible that a dataset of similar HN-stories title pairs would come together (I'm thinking of sth. like the GLUE STS-B dataset).

If that was the case I would, of course, make it available publicly.

Thanks for reading and please let me know your thoughts :)

/Philipp
