Hey #sigmoidsocial users! I just found our server stats on https://beta.fedidb.org/ and thought I'd share.

Lots of interesting data in there for any viz people to try to work with.

Question for #sigmoidsocial

Has anyone seen a comparison anywhere of how LoRA and P-Tuning compare when used with LLMs? I can’t seem to find a comparison of these anywhere

#SigmoidSocial Any thoughts on the character limit for posts? While the Quipper bird site's post character limit which was inherited from SMS was enough to post a title and URL for interesting papers and such, and while Mastodon's default 500 #characterlimit is a bit better, it sure would be nice to have room for the full abstracts of papers, as well as more room for ideas, conversation, code snippets, etc. in general. How about 4K, 16K, or even 64K like qoto.org?

#stable diffusion #aiart. I think I'd better move to #sigmoidsocial server!

If anyone here on #SigmoidSocial is interested in understanding the effects our #AI or #RL systems have on society, I would encourage you to check out the communities Tom is organizing (two of which are linked below).

The design decisions and research directions of today, are fixtures and industries of tomorrow. It's always great to find spaces where these considerations are discussed openly and seriously

Anyone on #SigmoidSocial experimenting with open source recommendation systems for mastodon? With all the #ai folks here, this would be the place to experiment!

anyone know if Mastodon supports #utf8 text in links for link verification? or is there just a bit of lag on the #sigmoidsocial back-end? doesn't look like the link in my profile has validated yet. cc @Mastodon

Besides Patreon, @thegradient now additionally set up

https://ko-fi.com/sigmoidsocial for donations.

Advantages: Supports both monthly and ONE-TIME payments AND there are NO FEES. All the money you give is for sigmoid.social.

I guess there are no badges for one-time payments, but optionally it should be possible to activate a top supporters list on ko-fi for some appreciation.

Go, give some $. Setting up an account takes 5 minutes.

Please, share!

Why doesn't sigmoid.social show up as a server in the Mastodon App? #sigmoidsocial

@andrey @thegradient Hey #SigmoidSocial team, maybe consider adding this in the server announcements, or the site-level blurb? 'In the web client you can click the control panel icon in the upper right over a hashtag column and "pin" it. If you click that icon again over a pinned column, you can choose "local only".' This seems like it could be a good way for people to get engaged in #discussion and #question answering relevant to this instance, if you could advise them as such. #mastodon

@andrey I don't know if you figured this out already, but in the web client you can click the control panel icon in the upper right over a hashtag column and "pin" it. If you click that icon again over a pinned column, you can choose "local only". This seems like it could be a good way to get discussions and questions going on just this server, if people would start doing this. #mastodon #question #discussion #SigmoidSocial

@thegradient It would be really cool to have #LaTeX enabled on #SigmoidSocial like on #Mathstodon

🚀 Don't hesitate to boost if you would also like this feature!

One week since the launch of Sigmoid Social! We have over 3.3k active accounts, 7.44K published posts, and over 77k interactions. Growth is slowing, but at this point it seems there are more than enough folks on here to have a good time. #SigmoidSocial #Mastodon

#sigmoidsocial looks a lot like what I hoped Twitter would be (but wasn't) when I joined a few years ago: a space for everyone in the ML research community to have a voice and be heard without needing to have 10k+ followers!

I've already come (1/2)

I've already come across profiles of so many folks I hadn't ever seen on Twitter! This is super exciting! Looking forward to e-meeting many more folks!
