The 2012 Programming Languages Day will be held at the IBM Thomas J.
Watson Research Center on Thursday, June 28, 2012. The day will be held in
cooperation with the New Jersey and New England Programming Languages and
Systems Seminars. The main goal of the event is to increase awareness of
each other's work, and to encourage interaction and collaboration.
The Programming Languages Day features a keynote presentation and 8
regular presentations. Dr. Shriram Krishnamurthi of Brown University
will deliver the keynote presentation this year, "Securing JavaScript
on the Web". Details of the program are below.

Statistical Maxims
  • Correlation is not causation (???)
  • No causation without manipulation. (Holland)
  • All models are wrong, some are useful. (Box)
  • Statistics is the science of uncertainty. (arguably Tukey)
  • Statistics is the science of learning from experience, especially experience that arrives a little bit at a time. (Efron)

Principles of Adult Behavior

  1. Be patient. No matter what.
  2. Don’t badmouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing of another you wouldn’t say to him.
  3. Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.
  4. Expand your sense of the possible.
  5. Don’t trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.
  6. Expect no more of anyone than you can deliver yourself.
  7. Tolerate ambiguity.
  8. Laugh at yourself frequently.

LLM Introduction: Learn Language Models

Purpose

Bootstrap knowledge of LLMs ASAP. With a bias/focus to GPT.

Avoid being a link dump. Try to provide only valuable well tuned information.

Prelude

Neural network links before starting with transformers.
