I worked remotely from Boston since 2016. Didn’t seem common at the time, but startups were much more flexible even back then :)

Getting harder and harder to park around here. The city keeps reserving spaces for municipal vehicles.

MGH Sexual Health Clinic. Just on other side of the river. Very easy.

I’m not clever enough to fully understand what is required, but I’d be curious to see how an LM would behave in a DOTA setting. IIRC the OpenAI bot was RL-based and (1) took a lot of training cycles, (2) didn’t generalize all that well to different styles of adversarial play. Some of the qualities suggested by the papers linked by other commenters would seem advantageous…
Anybody else getting 90s text adventure flashbacks?

Today’s Collision in Malden. I think I remember seeing a flyer for painless when I was last in there a few weeks ago. They did an awesome job on my vehicle.

Yeah, I think finding a regular group of folks to hang out with would be great. If I can do that while also being outdoors or physically active in some way, that's even better. Open to all the suggestions you made above :)

Haha. Yes, I figured I wouldn't be alone in that. I did attempt to move away once or twice, but always ended up back here. It's a fine place to live :)

Yes. Weekly. But we have a huge team.
There’s always people interested. Maybe not always AI engineers.
You could do a series where people summarize accessible papers. A lot of literature review papers are readable even by a layperson
