notable omission of deepgram models in comparisons?

+1 to running. If you run consistently, you'll learn to believe in your body as something that naturally improves if you train it well, and that belief will cross over to your mind and heart.

You can use voice prompting; it's supported on ElevenLabs and Hume.

Awesome post!

Time to first token is as important to know for many use cases, rarely are people reporting it

this is nuts

+1, had the fortune to work with him at a previous startup and meetup in person. Our convo very much broadened my perspective on engineering as a career and a craft, always excited to see what he's working on. Good luck Simon!

Had this exact problem (Heroku Postgres to RDS) at my old co. Data migration went as bad as it possibly could (dropped indices, foreign keys, everything but the data itself). This would have saved us months of pain.

High integrity maintainer, big respect.

Karpathy covers this in Makemore, but the tl;dr is that if you don’t normalize the batch (essentially center and scale your activations down to be normally distributed), then at gradient/backprop time, you may get values that are significantly smaller or greater than 1. This is a problem, because as you stack layers in sequence (passing outputs to inputs), the gradient compounds (because of the Chain Rule), and so what may have been a well behaved gradient at the end layers has either vanished (the upstream gradients were 0<x<1 at each layer) or exploded (the gradients were x>>1 upstream). Batch normalization helps control the vanishing/exploding gradient problem in deep neural nets by normalizing the values passed between layers.

Wow, great catch. I will update this in the morning!

working on it hehe

Hey! This is what I've been working on, would love to chat, feel free to email

I'm in a ton of LLM Discords, and I follow the announcements and events for updates!

I think the point of differentiating between the blinded and unblinded groups was to show that placebo alone does not account for the effects of microdosing.
