frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 18/02/2025I am an engineer with a PhD and I program foundational AI models for medical imaging. I use LLM’s as an assistant and they are very helpful. My background does help me know what questions to ask. But I suppose if one is curious and determined, the background will fill in, in baby steps, as one asks? 000

Therefore, it's a vulnerability & lack of agency we prefer. And lol lmao. Buddy, I have a husky. 6862926
frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 16/02/2025My code is all PyTorch so it’s performant. But, I have a feeling Rust might be ideal for deep learning. Passing data from: data loader -> transforms -> batching -> neural network -> loss, add masking - that’s a lot of things chained together and a lot of opportunities to accidentally mutate stuff. 020
frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 16/02/2025This is good advice. I’m going to start porting some of my Python modules to Rust. The idea of borrowing is especially relevant wrt training deep learning models where in my case, a bunch of different data types are being mixed together, transformed, and then passed through a neural network. 120
frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 16/02/2025I’m making multi-modal foundational models for medical imaging and clinical text. My current model has 5k lines of code and I’m starting to go nuts keeping track of everything. The stuff that makes Python easy is starting to make Python hard now. Hence, I’m looking at Rust. 110
frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Interesting. I’ve only been dabbing with Rust for about a week. I’ve just made a few simple neural networks and a data loader so far. I was under the impression that immutability was the default. In Python of course, it’s the opposite. 310
frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Dual booting is not reliable either. I have had a Windows update nuke a Linux partition. 000
frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 16/02/2025For a gamer, I totally get the frustration. I’m frustrated with this too. Because AI is so important now, the Nvidia GPU drivers are better on Linux now. Linux would be better for gaming but all the game development is for Windows unfortunately. 100
frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 16/02/2025I’m starting to dabble with Rust, Burn in particular. I feel like Rust might be ideal for deep learning because I don’t know how many times I’ve accidentally mutated a list/dict/tensor in Python. Am I thinking right or is it the case that the “grass is greener on the other (Rust) side”? 140
frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Debian is especially stable too. I’m actually really grateful Linux exists. It’s given me so much. I hope I will be in a position to give back one day. Open source software is freedom. 010
frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 16/02/2025I have a machine with 4 Nvidia GPU’s as my local AI workstation. It only runs Linux and I use it to create AI. With Ubuntu, the propriety Nvidia drivers install automatically. I listen to Spotify while I program; “sudo snap install spotify” is all it takes. Maybe Linux is worth another try? 100
frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Linux is awesome! What the heck are people talking about? Give Debian a whirl. It’s great! 030

frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Also, they are really playing up the Mixture of Experts (MOE) angle. Mistral has been using MOE for a while now. Deepseek may be an excellent model but at its heart, it’s a Transformer Causal Decoder like all the rest, and a huge one at that. 010

Part RPG and part simulation, this sandbox adventure game drops you into the Holy Roman Empire of a (slightly) alternate 15th Century. It's also the game I'm tapping out a new Adventure Log about right now. 7614

frankjoined.bsky.social @frankjoined.bsky.social · 12/01/2025I did not know this. I’m an AI developer so I’m no database expert. But, I imagine it’s really hard to keep a non-relational database from turning into a garbage dump, especially with the quantity of data these days? 220
