*Weighted Skip Connections are Not Harmful for Deep Nets* by @rupspace.bsky.social Cool blog post "in defense" of weighted variants of ResNets (aka HighwayNets) - as a follow up to a previous post by @giffmana.ai. rupeshks.cc/blog/skip.html

These checks are very important and useful. Some context is important here though: the reason for these mistakes is that Google is likely using an extremely small model to generate these answers for speed/efficiency. GPT-4o, Gemini Advanced, and even Gemini 1.5 Flash easily answer all correctly.

If Pranav says it, I believe it

(1/3) Very interesting development for autonomous driving! A key part of the case Tesla has been making about their approach (vs Waymo) is that they can bring the cost down by a lot and scale up production/access because they don't use LIDAR.

Amazing PhD opportunity with Jakob (@jfoerst.bsky.social) offering time split between Oxford and FAIR! Note that the deadline is Dec 2nd! x.com/j_foerst/sta...

Glad this is taking off! I'll be posting a lot more here than the other place (hopefully!)
