Huntington's disease has been successfully treated for the first time, doctors tell BBC

It's a beautiful kind of irony when the world's most famous DDoS protector ends up getting taken down by a single useEffect hook. They protected everyone else from the storm, but forgot to board up their own windows. Cloudflare accidentally DDoS'ed itself www.sdxcentral.com/news/cloudfl...

Can we interpret what happens in finetuning? Yes, if for a narrow domain! Narrow fine tuning leaves traces behind. By comparing activations before and after fine-tuning we can interpret these, even with an agent! We interpret subliminal learning, emergent misalignment, and more

indeed i keep hearing about this

We're so excited about this model that we wrote all about it, including full inference snippets for 7 frameworks, and show you how to finetune it for your domain for even stronger performance. Give it a read here: huggingface.co/blog/embeddi... 🧵

Google just launched EmbeddingGemma: an efficient, multilingual 308M embedding model that's ready for semantic search & more on just about any hardware, CPU included. Details in 🧵:

Another important session at #DLI2025. The Women in Machine Learning (WIML) event was dedicated to an open discussion on the challenges women face in the field, and to exploring potential solutions.

We are deeply saddened to share that our friend and colleague Jim Hudspeth passed away on Saturday. We will remember and continue to be inspired by Jim’s integrity, his humility, and his unwavering commitment to discovery.

We’re excited to unveil the first #DLI2025 lineup of tutorials and practicals: ✨ Machine Learning Foundations ✨ Generative Models & LLMs for African languages All tutorial content will also be available online after the Indaba. Don’t miss out, subscribe here 👉 lnkd.in/eCgXRqsV
