Eccentric exercises, which emphasize lowering a weight rather than lifting it, increase muscle size and strength with fewer repetitions.

Untrained participants who lowered weights had similar gains to those who lifted & lowered weights - but they performed half the repetitions.

RT @vovahimself: @bakztfuture Jokes apart, one reason I can be clear and unfazed about the idea of consciousness in AI is that I took the time, actually two times, to read and internalize “The Conscious Mind” back in my early 20s.

If anyone hasn’t read it yet, please, for the sake of humanity, do. https://t.co/iIx846xDK1

Scalable Diffusion Models with Transformers

Introduces Diffusion Transformers... replaces convolutional U-Net backbone with a Transformer giving way to a new class of diffusion models with "good scaling properties" and SoTA performance.

Quantization helps to build more efficient models. This paper shows that 4-bit precision "is almost universally optimal for total model bits and 0-shot accuracy." The chart shows bit-level scaling laws for performance across different OPT model sizes.
