Btw someone enlighten me about the A2SV issue?

I think from what I saw online some people aren't a big fan of A2SV because it gets people to big tech companies than actually building big tech/silicon valley in Ethiopia😳?

Also on a different note Addis Ababa is place where the African Union Headquarter is located and so many international offices but not a single FAANG or in similar level company dared to open an office here, just unrelated story

I usually don't like this types of studies that tend to generalize more, but can someone confirm😂

icog is probably one of the biggest game changers in Ethiopia's tech space. It's good to hear their history and struggles. I hope they make a movie out it. I've so much respect for the people I met from icog, I hope to see them rise again.

Btw I used to hate Hruy, he made fun of us back in the days when we competed for Robo Soccer, but nothing personal 😂, @bereket_ademe, I hope you remember it

Can someone help me find an app/website to play Gebeta/ገበጣ ?

Computational Complexity of Air Travel Planning

I've never thought of it as this complex until I came across 2003 slide deck from ITA Software basically saying this.

So the problem is:
- With fixed fares and routes but variable flights, the problem is NP-hard.
- Fixing flights and fares while varying priceable units also leads to NP-hardness.
- In some formulations, the problem becomes undecidable, meaning no algorithm can solve all instances.

And because of that they solved the problem with basically dynamic programming, graph based search, fare combinatorics modeling, memoization, pruning heuristics, recursive decomposition, and Common Lisp for efficient symbolic computation.

For anyone interested link

Anthropic should just be an interpretability company!

If anyone is interested in pretraining any kind of text based models, you might have experienced that there isn't much you can do than just feeding the text itself in bulk. But there's more to it.

Here's some slides to gemini's pretraining and generally about pretraining. It's super compute intensive even for old decoder based models

Gemini Pretraining

I'll be talking about running many kinds of open source models from small ~100M to 7B LLMs in the web, android and ios. Also about optimization & quantization, efficient finetuning techniques etc and all about local first AI development on April 29

For anyone interested link

So PewDiePie is now miles ahead of me on Linux 😂. The only time I tried installing linux was in high school and it was kali and hated my experience so much.

So what's next for him, colab with primeagen and bash Javascript lol
