"Are you a motivational speaker?"
Hell yes! But not really.
That's the question I always get when meeting new people and the topic comes around to what each of us do for a living. The question quite possibly could drive me nuts, because  I think "motivational speakers" like Tony Robbins and others who encourage people to walk across the fire t…

Back to Basics: Revisiting REINFORCE Style Optimization for Learning from Human Feedback in LLMs
AI alignment in the shape of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is increasingly treated as a crucial ingredient for high performance large language models. \textsc{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) has been positioned by recent literature as the canonical method for the RL part of RLHF. However, it involves both high computational cost and sensitive hyperparameter tuning. We posit that most of the motivational principles that led to the development of PPO are less of a practica…

Listening to Michigan Public’s reporter (Brianna Rice) on the Crumbley sentencing, and it hit me hard that they both truly do not feel responsible for spawning, raising, and eagerly equipping a monster.
I feel responsible for my adult daughter having motivational and directional deficiencies. I feel responsible for my developmentally/physically/cognitively disabled son not being as considerate of others as he should be and for his ridiculous lack of attention span.

The idea being that Monday is such a mind-crushing day that people need some soft of extra motivational oomph! to get them going.
