Switched from Windows to @linuxmint.com around 8 months ago and honestly, it's been one of the best tech decisions I've made. I regret not making the switch much earlier. #Linux 🐧
Google's plan to block unverified apps is a 'rug pull' on the 3 billion people who chose Android for its openness. Don't let them turn your phone into a walled garden. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org
68 random galaxies 🌌 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). #galaxy #astronomy
@sifa.id I have been facing an issue where, upon logging in, I am unable to access my profile.
Microsoft sucks... even in space. www.engadget.com/computing/ar... #Microslop
Been using @hf.co’s Accelerate library for a few months now, and I can’t emphasize enough how great it is. It makes launching distributed training effortless. If you’re into training deep learning models, definitely give it a try. GitHub repo: github.com/huggingface/... #ML #DistributedTraining
Congrats to the winners of this year's Turing Award - Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard #ComputerScience #TuringAward
"Learning to Reason in 13 parameters" An interesting paper by Meta: arxiv.org/abs/2602.04118 Authors propose "TinyLoRA". They showed that Qwen 8B parameter model was able to achieve about 92% accuracy on certain maths datasets with just "13 trainable parameters (26 bytes)" for finetuning. #ML
I found this surprisingly counter-intuitive: so-called “attention sinks” in #LLMs are actually a feature, not a bug. Found this amazing paper on the topic: arxiv.org/pdf/2504.02732 #ML #deeplearning
Interesting piece by @quantamagazine.bsky.social on "Platonic Representation Hypothesis" (Neural networks, trained with different objectives on different data and modalities, are converging to as shared statistical model of reality in their representation spaces). #machinelearning
This year on Bluesky I wrote 22 posts and 11 replies. I received 49 likes, whereas 11 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "galaxies" and 🌌! www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...
A really useful tool for managing SLURM jobs: github.com/kabouzeid/turm
Discovery of "Alaknanda": A massive, grand-design spiral galaxy found just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang! Found by Rashi Jain and Yogesh Wadadekar (NCRA-TIFR) using #JWST data. Its well-formed spiral arms challenge our understanding of how quickly galaxies settled into stable disks.
If you are into #MachineLearning (or more specifically #DeepLearning) and want to learn more about the topics like Transformers, Diffusion Models etc., do give this YouTube channel by Julia Turc a try: youtube.com/@juliaturc1?... The videos are absolute gems and simply amazing.
Microsoft’s “agentic” OS push is shaping up to be a privacy and security nightmare. Been using Linux Mint for the past 2 months and it's been amazing. www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...
Interesting read.
Martin Hebart@martinhebart.bsky.socialWhat makes humans similar or different to AI? In a paper out in @natmachintell.nature.com led by @florianmahner.bsky.social & @lukasmut.bsky.social, w/ Umut Güclü, we took a deep look at the factors underlying their representational alignment, with surprising results. www.nature.com/articles/s42...
