LLMs meet AutoML: in an effort to integrate user knowledge into AutoML, our new tool CAAFE uses LLMs to generate semantically meaningful features for tabular data (and also explains them). Towards an AI assistant for human data scientists

Paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.03403
Demo https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1mCA8xOAJZ4MaB_alZvy...

CAAFE uses GPT-4 and a textual description of the dataset to iteratively generate Python code that creates new features and explanations for their utility. It thereby harnesses the creative power of LLMs in combination with a systematic verification process that interacts with the LLM in an iterative fashion.

While hyperparameter optimization can profit from domain knowledge as well, we believe that steps of the pipeline that are closer to the data and the user, such as feature engineering, can benefit much more from additional semantic information. This may open exciting possibilities for broadening the range of applications of #AutoML to help practitioners with more of the data science pipeline.

Executing AI-generated code requires careful consideration. We've implemented a whitelist of safe python commands, but risks remain. Also, AI can replicate or even exacerbate biases present in the training data. Much more work is needed to avoid this. Please use CAAFE cautiously and examine its generated features critically, especially with an eye on principles from algorithmic fairness.

Why not let GPT generate your features directly or simply use OpenA’s Code Interpreter? While GPT-4 is a powerful model, it's not specifically designed for ML. CAAFE steps in with a systematic verification process to ensure the generated features are useful for the task at hand, also providing feedback to the LLM.

Professional musician here. Practice for one person is not the same as practice for another; and the resulting outcomes are different. There’s reductionism that serves and there’s fussy, pedantic reductionism. I’m not saying the latter doesn’t creep into this field (as in any) but by and large the distinction between just doing the thing and deliberate practice is significant. I’ve seen countless students just repeat repeat repeat their repertoire; and I’ve seen students employ principles of deliberate practice - highly focused, super-specific, acutely aware. The results are strikingly different. So I don’t think it’s excessively reductionist to account for those differences.
There are definitely exceptions, that's true. Usually there's an interesting pharmacological reason why though.

For instance, SSRIs have this property, because for those drugs, the tolerance is the treatment effect. The tolerance has downstream effects on things like BDNF that are thought to be the true mechanism behind their efficacy. But this is also clear from the phenomenology observed, i.e people see improvements with a delayed effect.

This drug is very pharmacologically simple though. It's an extremely selective agonist for the 5-HT-4 receptor, and its effects are mostly acute, it seems(though due to a longish half-life it does take some time to reach steady-state with once daily dosing).

Now, I'm genuinely curious: does anyone know of a drug which,

1. Has acute psychoactive effects
2. Retains those effects under chronic same-dose usage
3. And the perceived effect can not be explained by correction of a rebound effect(i.e one cup of coffee in the morning might wake you up the same, but is it really, or is it just correcting an overly tired, mild withdrawal state associated with chronic use?).

I actually can't think of any.
Sorry for kinda hijacking this, but it is the main reason I am building trydeepwork.com, to actually put deep work or deliberate practice into actual "practice".

Because most of the time the 11.99 is in a date series. So, the 11.01 item is probably not referred to much, and it's easy to zip down to stuff you're doing now. But 100 subfolders are too much to actually go looking through, especially if you're trying to `ls` the folders.
Hmmm, wouldn't it make more sense for one of the major apps that's going to shut down (ie Apollo, etc) instead duplicate all posts through it to the same er... "subreddit" in a chosen Reddit alternative?

That should get enough of the Community moved over reasonably quickly, so it has a chance of working.

When I was preparing to flee free google apps for domains during the recent kerfuffle, the cheapest overall really was Exchange Online (it's a basic email-only option). For a single user and single domain, it's just $56 a year.

Next best was proton mail (seems it's a bit cheaper now, $48/yr)
Turing equivalence says that all logic can be translated to other paradigms. But thread interactions are not logic they are based in real time. So the differences in how they treat time will show up as differences in the implementation. I guess you could create a worst of all of the above polymorphic abstraction that looks the same no matter which way you’re using it, but I don’t know if we would benefit much from that.
Something like Airbnb for renting a house is kind of convenient when you're traveling with a close group of people or something for maybe a long weekend at a lake and a hotel might not be the most convenient situation to enjoy nature, fish, swim, grill and drink beer outside, etc. A house you have to yourself is far better in that kind of scenario.

For general travel needs, hotels seem like the much better choice these days.
I have not heard of it but I think the main benefit of ESM over a bunch of `script` tags (what I used before CJS came about) is that the individual modules files are isolated and do not share globals which was a common pain point when using `script` tag soup and something that IMO drove a lot of people to use bundlers to avoid this who did not benefit from bundling otherwise (intranet web apps and low traffic Internet apps - their debugability went downhill and stayed there for a long time and even with the introduction of source maps and such, those weren't supported right away in all tooling). If the thing you describe solved this back then I regret not having come across it.
I assume there's also support for a kind of calculated long jump done at elf load time? I know that's done as part of the relocations on aarch64.

"Google has publicly committed not to use them for ad targeting"

1 - Why would I trust anything Google says?

2 - What else could they use that information for apart from ad targeting that they're not telling us about?
Keeping in mind that the law wasn't that when the tech stack was built.

It would certainly be a problem for Google to solve, but one should note that legally requiring this of the company would be tantamount to legally requiring Google to shut down (which in the long run would harm user privacy because the company would almost certainly be replaced by an ecosystem of companies that care far less about privacy than Google does, and a gaggle of unrelated firms running hither and thither with user data is harder to regulate than one megacorp). There are better ways to serve the public interest here.
Oh yeah, that's right. Though the chronology isn't important.

I think modern macOS is a decent example of how you can increment away from the drab corporate gray of that era without using flashy colors like XP and without going too far into flashy effects like Vista.

This was the first version of Mac OS X I ran on my first "modern" Mac, a 2001 Titanium PowerBook G4. There were some performance issues in this first release, but 10.2 (Jaguar, pronounced "Jag-wire" by Steve Jobs) had a focus on performance and resolved much of it.

I vaguely remember dual-booting Mac OS 9 and X for a while, but it wasn't long before Mac OS X took over full time.
I also think it is an unrealistic suggestion, in case that didn’t come through in my first comment! Haha.

But I’m sure the hoped-for result was just another one of those specialized tools, specialized for some Y Combinator niche. Which is also probably an unrealistic idea for a team that isn’t interested in that sort of thing, but at least isn’t totally ridiculously stupid.

They’re the same core concept. There are generally two major differences:

* a heat pump has a switch valve for coolant. This allows it to move heat in either direction.

* while not strictly necessary, heat pumps typically have a variable rate compressor. They scale to match load.

Some heat pumps will also have a supplemental electric heat element when conditions are extremely cold.
No heat pump?

IMHO, the main reason heat pumps are pushed is that most countries are having big issues with their electricity production and grids. Indeed, the move away from ICE cars and gas at home means electricity production is struggling. Cynically: "Look we don't need to invest we can just tell people to install heat pumps".

Here in the UK for many properties heat pumps are either very expensive to install or they destroy the small garden/patio people have, or both so I can see people trying their best to avoid them, quite reasonably so because there are not well suited.
Largely agree, but I don't understand the connection to interest rates.
Thanks for your comment.

There is a community of people who administer web forums called "The Admin Zone"

You can probably find web forums to join based on the posters there. There's all sorts of advice on that forum to do with rules, server administration and guides.
Well, depends. For music that era is just an explosion of great things. From 10.3 or so a Mac and a Firewire audio interface was an amazingly stable and portable package, with possibilities you could hardly have dreamed of even with a studio full of gear ten years before. The extra power that became available in the Core 2 Duo era was transformative, too, but the software was available for a good while before.

Why is OOP different in that regard? Functional programs can also be spread over many files.

The difference between FP/OOP and AOP is that with FP/OOP you know where to look. References outside the file you are currently looking at are usually declared at the top of the file. While with AOP there are no references in the files that are affected by AOP code.

I have nothing against ES modules, actually it's a good thing objectively.

The problem is how it was introduced to the ecosystem with basically no official support until very recently.

First draft in 2009, official release was 2017, a very long time in the Javascript world.
Yet, Browsers have minimal support for it;
Node.js supported fully in 2020 (node 14, backported to 12);
Typescript finally became usable in 2022 (v 4.7);
etc.

On top of that, some developers arbitrarily pushed this switch to ESM with their very famous lib (eg: sindresorhus) which created a lot of frustration and forks, further more deteriorating the public opinion for ESM.

I recently created a new nodejs project in 2023, no personal issue with the modules themselves or the syntax, but still countless of issues with the tooling.
Imagine if a supermarket not only sold goods but also controlled all supply chains, decided on the prices of every product, and owned the only transportation system in town. All the while, it keeps track of every item you've ever bought or looked at, and how much you're willing to spend on groceries. The supermarket then uses this data to influence product pricing, availability, and transportation routes...And it's the only supermarket in town...
Just checked your website. I feel it's a great starting point for a freelancer like me who don't want to invest much in a community building tool early on by paying a hugh upfront fee not knowing if my followers will ever become paid members. I used to have my followers on a slack channel but I was hesitant to charge members a fee to get my most useful advices and strategies simply because I had to collect payments via PayPal and add them manually to these exclusive channels separately all by myself. So I always parked that idea. Now that I have discovered a platform like this. I will confidently give it a try. Thanks for letting us know. Best of luck :)

I had surgery last year and I believe I was out for a few hours. when I woke up I could definitely sense that some amount of time had had passed. I haven't felt that sensation during quicker surgeries so maybe our perception of how quickly time passes is changed and slowed down?

I learnt JavaScript recently and the CommonJS vs. ES modules issue was very odd to be confronted with.

Coming from other languages ES modules seemed much more familiar.
Some months ago, I was building some plugins and other code in Javascript, and to my surprise, my biggest problem back then was to figure out how become code form another file into my working context. There were multiple different code-snippets with different syntax, some worked, others not. This rant explains my problems back then. Getting some up to date documentation for modern javascript seems some kind of gamble at the moment.

They’re actually nearly identical in concept.

An air conditioner is actually just a one-way heat pump. The major difference is heat pumps can run in reverse.
It's a messageboard. The only people who need to think of users as "consumers" are Reddit execs hoping somebody will buy "reddit gold" or an NFT avatar. The mere fact that these e-trinkets are considered "products" should be indicative of how un-monetizable public messageboards are.

Nobody ever said internet platforms were free to operate. That's what the ads are for. Reddit is locking the doors because they had 10 years to build a competent ad product and failed.
My bad, my past experience/bias got the better of me here. I only got exposed to CommonJS as a part of Nodejs but it does look like CommonJS was started independently of Node.

Only things I’ve done “it” for were matters of physical exercise - first indoor rowing utilising an actual coach and a progressively overloading program, and now for running utilising ChatGPT as my coach, as sort of an experiment.

I suppose the “how” is really boring, and that’s why none of the resources talking about deliberate practice really seem to dive too deep into it. For my rowing practice it was simply getting feedback from the coach constantly regarding form and doing checkups for my pacing and current condition. I’m more interested in this running practice with ChatGPT, where I aim to keep it updated on my current progress on the program we came up with together, and ask for advice on possible adjustments.

After all the difference between deliberate practice and any old practice seems to be the progression and constant feedback from someone who knows what they’re doing.
This was also my propofol experience. The doctor injected a tiny bit by accident before I had to sign a form and I felt so removed from consciousness it was weird. Then he pushed the rest and next instant of time I was in the recovery room but it felt like the best sleep I’ve ever had in my life. No wonder people get addicted to it
Very cool.

Not sure you read that chart right. It's slower because it's much lower power.

Out of order execution gives on the order of 2x speed improvement not 10x. I would imagine branch prediction gives a much bigger benefit but nobody is going to make a performance sensitive processor without branch prediction (whereas in-order is still common).

For Britain I'm pretty confident that victorian era tea for most parts wasn't great either by modern standards.

People do care. They just don't have much, if any, choice.
Or just some guides for some topics, even a few examples of how deliberate practice for X might look like is already much better information to start your own practice than these aloof principles. It's great to know the principles if you're also aware on how to apply them, if there's no path to application it becomes mostly noise...

I like the sci-fi extension of this idea - pre-AI texts become as valuable as such steel, until they are able to successfully synthesize pre-AI data - in this case by running real world simulations.

I was a big advocate for “just use jQuery” amidst the JS framework hype ~10 years ago, but nowadays I agree that plain Vue hits a similar mark quite well.

Even just a naive approach of plopping a whole page in one big component or enhancing a page rendered elsewhere by mounting a few self-contained widgets on it is nicer than manually keeping track of state with events. Even my best an most concerted efforts at jQuery frontends eventually had many bugs that simply don’t happen with a declarative approach.
I've been following ES module standardization for a while now. From the early days I was not convinced that we need a new syntax. We could adopt require/module as language features without breaking the entire ecosystem. It was just not "impactful" and "sexy" enough to do so.

Since then I'm yet to see ES modules solve real problems that CommonJS couldn't as the OP argues.
I think the key here is that you only deliberately practice things that you really, really want. Things that you want so bad that you obsess over them and you wake up realizing you've been dreaming about them. I quit a comfortable software job to take about 9 months off to devote to piano recently. Every free moment I get, I'm throwing myself in the waters. It's really hard to push through the painful points of learning stuff if you're not obsessed.
