πŸ₯ Introducing @vidtranslator 🌎

Hacked together a twitter bot that uses @OpenAI #whisper to translate any videos in any tweets, in... any language.

Making @Twitter a truly global water cooler.

It's mind-blowing how good it is! Examples 🧡
As a ukranian born who doesn't remember any Ukranian, it bothered me that pres. Zelensky doesn't upload videos with english subtitles!

Well, #whisper to the rescue!
Now, with the ease of @vidtranslator , just mentioning it in a reply to a tweet with video, say from @IAPonomarenko will return a translated video!
How about other things that are happening?
A lot of the time, twitter is the immediate platform, tweets and videos are recorded, and while you could translate tweets, videos.. needed folks to use captioning software, it's a slow process!
No longer!
I'm really impressed with whisper, it's not perfect and I'm running the medium model (again, on my own PC, @replicatehq can I get an upload permission?)
But it's pretty fast!
Here's a german for example:
Nuance is hard to translate, like Ukranians calling russian terrorists Orcs, but whisper again, shines here!
@ilyasut @npew @gdb I know I said this before, but @OpenAI did very good with this model release as open source, bringing the world together like never before!

Can't wait for whisper 2.0! Mean while, try translating videos with @vidtranslator (let's see how quickly it breaks)
Wanted to say thanks to @simonw and @m1guelpf who's work inspired this bot and weekend project!
@simonw @m1guelpf Liked this? Please retweet the main thread for visiblity!

Got my new mac from @weights_biases and it's been a while since I installed one, so will do a X setup thread cause why not?

As always, I never transfer anything, start from scratch every time, this way I get to re-decide what I use!

Thread mostly for me but follow along if u likeImage
I'm already a bit into this, but just barely.

First up as always, @1Password, undeniably the most important app to get on your mac first, so than everything else will become easier 🫑

@1Password also holds my SSH certificates for a while now, and has an SSH agent, so I no longer have to send my keys over from the older mac.

My Watchtower security score in @1Password is 358 (Weak) πŸ€ͺ 🚧 🚜 (but keep in mind I've been using 1P for well over a decade and a BUNCH of these are old accounts I no longer use, my important accounts are all unique long passwords and 2 step protected with no sms, and slowly moving to passkeys, which 1P supports!)

watchtower.1password.com/score/358/
Connecting to my personal iCloud on this mac is step number 2, there are quite a few apps that do syncing via iCloud, so making sure I'm setting that up (and also start syncing photos in the background as it takes a WHILE)

None of that "different iCloud account for work mac" stuff, that never worked for me, I need this mac to be connected to the same one so I can unlock with my watch, do airdrops without approvals everytime, install apps that I've already purchased and generally have it in the same ecosystem!

Welcome to LK-99 superconductor twitX corner, new here? Here are a few folks to pay attention to (or follow the list) :



@alexkaplan0 - broke the story w/ 29M views, the king of "we're so back, it's over, we're back? " rollercoastertwitter.com/i/lists/168444…
.@andrewmccalip from Varda space took X by storm, announcing that they have the expertise, tools and most of the materials to start replicating this, and is live streaming the replication attempt on X/Twitch
@8teAPi is serving the K-drama. Who fired whom, who joined when and for how long did they work on this? Who's Lee, Who's Kim, who the hell is Kwon and why did HE release the first paper? And is Chair the guy behind this all?

Keep watching, the K-drama here is legit πŸ”₯

#CodeInterpreter - "It's a very fast, coding intern, that's both really smart and really stupid, but the biggest advantage is, it never gets frustrated and never gives up" - @simonw

Here's my evergreen #CodeInterpreterCan thread, w examples, tips, use-cases, and ideasπŸ‘‡

1/
Open AI released Code Interpreter to every paying customer on #ThursdAI Jul 6. It's a watershed moment.

However not until @swyx pinged me and @simonw to discuss it on spaces, did I dive in.

And we're all in agreement, this is groundbreaking!

Checkout the space recording:

2/
Code Interpreter access gives us these incredible SuperPowers.

πŸ”₯ Uploading files up to 100MB in chatGPT interface
πŸ”₯ Access to a fine-tuned GPT-4 that's able to write and more important _EXECUTE_ code, re-run it when it fails, and keep trying
πŸ”₯ Generate download links

Whoah ok, @OpenAI has just answered tons of developer requests, let's dig into this.

You know how many folks struggled to get a JSON output consistently? For the use of agents and other stuff?

Well, OpenAI took it 1 step further and gave us function calls! How do they workπŸ‘‡ Image
First of all, many developers have struggled with consistent JSON output to their models (yes including me)

This led to hacks like trAI/except and other methods, I saw folks switching to yaml and xml among other solutions

So having native JSON response is just awesome πŸ’―
However @OpenAI took this 1 step further, by asking why do you even need a JSON output?

Well, to do something with this data!
So why not just... provide our API with your function and what it needs to get as arguments? And the model will return the right function call! Image

Watching @karpathy presentation from today and taking twitter notes, come along for the ride:

If you're like only the practical tips, skip to #32

@karpathy starts with stages:
1 - Pre-training - months x thousands of GPUs
2, 3, 4 - Finetuning stages that take hours or days

1/ Image
Before pre-training happens, there are 2 preparation steps.

Data collection - Get tons of data from different sources (here Andrej LLaMa mixture)

Tokenization - a lossless translations between pieces of words and integers.

2/ ImageImage
"You shouldn't judge the power of the model just by the number of parameters it contains"

LLaMa has trained on 1-1.4 Trillion tokens vs 300B tokens in GPT-3.
