🧵 1/ Vector stores & embeddings may be the talk of the town, but there's more to explore! Discover how to fine-tune LLaMA, an open-source language model, to make it sound like Homer Simpson! You can even apply this method to other characters! 🍩📺 Shout out to @bfirsh for this!

@bfirsh 2/ The process starts by using a dataset containing scripts from The Simpsons TV show (Seasons 1-12) obtained from Kaggle. With ~60k lines of dialog and 1.1M tokens, it's time to train LLaMA to reproduce the voice of the characters. 📚

@bfirsh 3/ To make LLaMA speak like a character, the dataset is parsed into scenes and prompts are generated. This is done by taking the previous lines in the scene, the character with the next line, and that line. The model is then prompted to complete the line in context. 🎭

🚩An imp thread🧵 regarding #HoliFestival

Content👇🏼

💫 Clear confusion regarding date & timings of #HolikaDahan '23

🌉 #Holi Jagran Importance

🪅Harmful effects of #Chemical Colors

🎋How to make Alternative #Homemade #Organic Colors

🔮#VedicHoli with ♻️#Palash

Date & Timing of every #Hindu festival is considered according to the Panchang which is a detailed calculation & study of stars, constellations and planetary positions.

Hence this year #HolikaDahan will occur on 2 days based on the timings of sunset.

There are 4 Maharatris in Sanatan Dharma which bestow maximum spiritual benefits to the spritual aspirant who makes the most of this auspicious time.

#Mahashivratri, #Holi, Shri Krishna #Janmashtami & #Deepawali. The sadhana performed during these pious hours acts as catalyst.

I've been creating videos on my youtube channel that you rarely will see in another place on the internet 🤩

You'll find there subjects like Recreating @nodejs from scratch, Web APIs and recreating web protocols such as the Web Socket using JS with no frameworks, etc

/2

And others, which are amazing experiments, such as recreating a code coverage tool from scratch and how to process terabytes of data using JavaScript

If you search about those subjects you'd reach out to my videos but why not have them as blog posts as well?

Les boules de graisse sont souvent achetées par les particuliers souhaitant nourrir les oiseaux en hiver. Mais sont-elles sans danger pour eux ? Dans ce 🧶je vous propose quelques conseils si vous souhaitez en disposer cet hiver pour les oiseaux du jardin 🐦⬇️

Nourrir les oiseaux du jardin en hiver séduit de plus en plus de citoyens. La vente de boules de graisse dans les magasins de jardinage est ainsi en plein essor. En effet, elles sont très prisées des particuliers car vendues prêtes à l’emploi dans de nombreux magasins.

Mais si la meilleure solution consiste à fabriquer ses propres boules de graisse, peu d’amoureux de la nature y consacrent le temps nécessaire. C’est pourquoi bon nombre de jardiniers se contenteront d’acheter ces boules de graisse industrielles.

Also, fangen wir mal hinten an, Ich werde jetzt nach und nach #Literatur zu den #Luftreinigern twittern, um die Diskussion zu substantivieren.

I'll do that mainly in English, at times in German.

Let's start. (AC-1) Nature News, October 2021.
1

Of course, this is only a #News article in @Nature. The paper, at that time only a preprint, now appeared here:

AC-2 = bit.ly/3EMNQWs

In this work, authos state "Here we present
the first data providing evidence for the removal of SARS-CoV-2 and microbial bioaerosols from the air using portable air filters with UV sterilization on a COVID-19 ward."

I think this is true, in the paper actually particles...

Repair cost for a broken extension cord: $3 to $8 depending on the amp rating/quality of the new plug. #DIY

It's literally a 2 minute operation to fix something like this, I just put two different ends on this to create two new extension cords.

Family member 1: "Throw that away! Just go buy a new one"
Family member 2: "Hmm, you should throw that in the trash and buy a new one"
Me: "WHAT?!?! It's so easy to fix these!"
(obviously, I am the handy/DIY person in this part of the family)

Another @NYUAbuDhabi class visit. Sam Anderson from the first year writing program leads a conversation with @cromwellojeda for The Politics of Spectacle

The conversation starts with a discussion of how Cromwell works as a multi-hyphenate artist - musician, graphic designer, and now he opened a burger joint in Dubai as a “side hustle.”

His interest was sparked by design for album covers. So his day job as a designer is directly related to his music life - DIY marketing for punk rock shows, etc.

He started as a designer without a computer, design software.

#AMCs are manufacturers and will offer a basket to select from. Would anyone have invested if they came with NFO in March 2020?

It is duty of #Advisors/#Investors to invest or ignore. Just because AMCs offer is no criteria to invest.

Need to introspect before blaming others

https://twitter.com/sidd1307/status/1524600061836939271

Same is the case with IPOs, their timings and their valuations. Companies also come with #IPOs when markets were on a roll.

Again, investors had a choice to invest or ignore.

They invested with GREED and FOMO and now blaming others for these IPOs bombing

Why can't #Investors respect market signals? When going was good, they ignored advice of following #AssetAllocation.

When markets are bleeding, looking at scapegoats for their own actions.

This is #SelfAttribution bias. All good - their skill, all bad - blame it on others

3 things #journalism #startups need to continuously innovate are: content, distribution and revenue strategies.

+

It’s not enough to want to do everything, it’s how you do one well that matters for impact and scale.

Plus, #DIY articles are not enough to start your journalism business, #feasibilitystudy is key 🔑.

e.g. Who are the 1-20 clients or customers that would pay $100k annually to run my business if my running cost is $3-6 monthly?

Do I have their contacts & edge over competition?

When you get the 100k in first 2 years, don’t jump. Measure!

Measure impact of one product before you jump on the other… what have you learned from one that you’re taking to the other?

#Notfallvorsorge, aber wie & worauf?

Im folgenden #Thread werde ich dazu Gedanken & Grundlagen vorstellen.

Zur Frage worauf soll ich mich vorbereiten lässt sich keine allgemeingültige Antwort geben, da dies, je nach (aktuellem) Aufenthaltsort, stark variiert.

(02/n)
Jede/r muss sehr individuell mögliche Gefahren im eigenen Umfeld analysieren & eine darauf abgestimmte Strategie/Vorbereitung ableiten. Lebe ich neben einem aktiven Vulkan, sollte ich andere Prioritäten haben, als in einem Gebiet mit starken Schneestürmen oder Tornados.

(03/n)
Gleich bleibt jedenfalls immer, dass ich mich selbst informieren muss, um die Gefahren in meiner Umgebung zu (er-)kennen!

Unter vielen anderen zB folgende Fragen: Wohne/arbeite ich in der Nähe einer Chemiefabrik, eines AKWs oder in der Einflugschneise eines Flughafens?

#Budget2022 wish list:

Congratulations to @nsitharaman and @PMOIndia to guide our country thru this #pandemic period. You have avoided excesses of many countries during this period. Thanks to that #India is touted as the next preferred #investment destination.

It is dream of our Hon #PMModi to reach $5 trln economy very soon. For that, besides Govt spending, you will need help from citizens to save, invest and channel the same to productive use through investment vehicles like Mutual Funds.

Our #MutualFund Industry has grown from 25 lac crs to currently 37 lac crs and likely to touch 100 lac crs.

#MF mobilizes #savings of all #Investors - #retail, #HNI, #Institutional and helps in growing our economy by participating in #Debt and #Equity - key drivers for growth

Dive-in for a peek at my #process and #designthinking on how I made my latest science infographic: "Comparing How COVID-19 Vaccines and Antiviral Pills Work" ⬇️🧵#COVID #Pfizer #Merck #DIY #infographic #vaccines #WIP #development #Covid_19 #paxlovid

The original inspiration for this piece was the newly marketed antiviral pills by Pfizer and Merck for the treatment of COVID-19. I thought with hearing so much about vaccines this year, and with pills entering the arena, people might be curious about what each does in the body.

When I started researching, I quickly learned that there were many types of vaccines. Here's one chart I found that explains this (left; by Nikita Ramesh, made with @BioRender). My first idea (right) was to convey ALL these types of vaccines against antivirals.
