The Makanpansgat Cobble might be the earliest known "cool rock." Credit: Brett Eloff If you look around your bedroom, or in the door pocket of your car, you may have a cool shell you've found and kept. Maybe it's a nice pinky-orange, or has a perfect little hole so that one day you could make a necklace. If you've ever picked up such a shell, a good…

Follow Unfollow Writer, BoredPanda staff Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real.At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships,…

Language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of natural language processing (NLP) over the last few years, achieving state-of-the-art results on a wide range of tasks. However, a key challenge in developing and improving these models lies in extending the length of their context. This is very important since it determines how much information is available to the model when generating an output.However, increasing the context window of a LLM isn’t so simple. In fact, it comes at the cost of increased computational…

Sometimes, it’s nice to have a little mystery in life. We love watching films that leave us in suspense, and we’re often attracted to people who we want to learn more about. So if you’re looking for some images that might leave you intrigued, you’ve come to the right place, pandas.Below, you’ll find some of our favorite posts from the Images Out of Context X account. This page shares silly and somewhat confusing pics that might make you laugh without providing any background information. So enjoy scrolling through, and…

Whether eagerly waiting for a treat or napping so comfortably it seems the world around them ceases to exist, animals sure know how to be cute. But they also know how to be naughty, and, well, basically anything in between. That’s what ensures that there’s never a dull moment for people around them and that there’s always plenty of content for them to share with netizens online; and that’s exactly what we’re doing today.We’ve put together a list of some of the best pics as shared by the ‘Out Of Context Animals’ Facebook…

Integrating machine learning with mainframe systems presents challenges and opportunities stemming from the unique architecture and data environment of mainframes.  Firstly, machine learning algorithms can be used for data processing, where mainframes handle large volumes of transactional data. The algorithms can analyze this data for various purposes, including fraud detection, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and customer segmentation. Secondly, deploying machine learning models on mainframes can enable…

One of the hardest things to accept in life is that we simply can’t know everything. Nobody can tell you with 100% certainty what will happen when we die, and a meteorologist can’t even perfectly predict how the weather will be tomorrow. There will always be unknowns, and that’s okay!If you don’t mind going through life without knowing all of the answers, we’ve got a great list for you down below, pandas. We took a trip to the Weird Pics Without Context Facebook group and gathered some of our favorite posts. No, we…

Everything you need to know about how context windows affect Transformer training and usageThe context window is the maximum sequence length that a transformer can process at a time. With the rise of proprietary LLMs that limit the number of tokens and therefore the prompt size — as well as the growing interest in techniques such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)— understanding the key ideas around context windows and their implications is becoming increasingly important, as this is often cited when discussing…

The internet can be a wondrous place, because, without warning or preparation, one can stumble upon images and information that end up creating more questions than answers. Indeed, as feeds and algorithms have become more commonplace, it’s become an entire genre of content, to see a collection of pretty random images. The very vaguely named “Some Images 2” Facebook page is dedicated to chaotic, random, and generally context-less pics. So get comfortable as you scroll through, add whatever context you think is…

Tuning-Free Longer Context Lengths For LLMs — A Review of Self-Extend (LLM Maybe LongLM)A simple strategy to enable LLMs to consume longer context length inputs during inference without the need for finetuning.Source: Image created by the author using DALL-E 3In this article we will look at the paper “LLM Maybe LongLM: Self-Extend LLM Context Window Without Tuning” by Hongye Jin et. al. that was just released on arxiv 2 days ago (2nd Jan 2024).Github: https://github.com/datamllab/LongLMLLMs like GPT-3 or BERT are…
