petulla··on California Grid Breezes Through Heatwave with Batteries
Hope other states follow. The fact Arizona is still 80%+ non-renewable is just such a missed opportunity.
petulla··on GPT-4o's Memory Breakthrough – Needle in a Needlestack
You need to know that this test set data wasn't included in the training data for this to be meaningful.

petulla··on DALL-E 2 open source implementation
He really is.. how has he not been snatched up by OpenAi etc.? He embodies the commitment to open source.
petulla··on T0* – Series of encoder-decoder models trained on a large set of different tasks
Great observation. Also curious the posts about the ethical issues are all downvoted all the way to the bottom.

why poetry over pyenv-virtualenv?
petulla··on I booked my cheapest one-month trip
ymmv but I've found Autoslash to be by far the cheapest option for car rentals. Not sure it can be scraped though would be interesting to include it.
petulla··on Substack's UI and 1Password temporarily cost me $2k
Seems more accurate to say that 1Password not Substack did this? Also headline is not true?
petulla··on About Google's approach to research publication – Jeff Dean
This response really seems like gaslighting. He doesn't address her concerns and glosses over whether she was held to a different standard than others at GR.
petulla··on Why We're Building Observable
hey Dominik

Yes I'm a fan; just would like to be able to write JS to visualize.

petulla··on Why We're Building Observable
My hope is eventually to be able to run it locally and integrate it into other language, like Tensorboard.
petulla··on Why We're Building Observable
My gripe with Observable is I can't fit into a Python-based workflow. I.e., a machine learning or gpu-training worfklow. It is a nice place to create explainers, though. I almost think of it as being like a Medium alternative.
petulla··on eBird: A crowdsourced bird sighting database
just search for ebird + your city/area on Google and go to the relevant page. Look at what's been cited recently to match against your own experiences.
petulla··on Masks Work. Really. We’ll Show You How
The same article says:

“This is a very powerful visual tool to raise awareness that a very simple masks, like these homemade cotton masks, do really well to stop the majority of these respiratory droplets,” Fischer told CNN.

The study itself tests 14 masks.

You're just reinforcing your priors ...

petulla··on Masks Work. Really. We’ll Show You How
Which cotton mask study did you read? This one found cotton masks were ok https://www.marketwatch.com/story/new-study-finds-many-homem...
petulla··on Rethinking Attention with Performers
This is sort of right. Reformer has taken books as a single input and not just in split batches. There are pretrained book-trained models on HuggingFace now. I'm not aware of book-length summarization models yet, but that's not due to the input length issues of the previous generation of xformer models (maybe due to lack of an obvious training set?). So your SQL example should be a thing of the past before long.
petulla··on Is it time to kill the calculus curriculum?
More linear algebra should arguably be taught earlier. Of course it could be used to do calculus as well.
petulla··on Oil Companies Touted Recycling to Sell More Plastic
It looks like this has changed in the last few years.
petulla··on Oil Companies Touted Recycling to Sell More Plastic
Does this include plastic bags? I find that barely anyone recycles 7 or flexible plastic, so I'm not sure stores are gaining much from collection in terms of image.
petulla··on Where to Blog
Is there an easy out of the box rendering solution for blogging that can be hosted on gh pages, where the posts are md files?
petulla··on The Cost of JavaScript Frameworks
Would be interesting to see this normalized by say DOM elements per page. Also Svelte and other lean bundle approaches should be included.
