💘 residuals 💘 For any model: residual = data point - model prediction it is the part of the data that your model has failed to explain residuals are good for checking model diagnostics, AND ALSO super interesting *as their own thing* as below

The "inner work" that does not result in you being better connected to the outer world, is not inner work, it's dissociation
When ML overtook AI, ML problems looked very similar to classical Statistics problems. We had so much to offer them. In this new ear of Generative AI, which makes fantastical use of embeddings (i.e. fancy pca), we have so much to learn from ML.
Do we have simple examples of LLMs understanding context? Clearly they do, but I'm looking for nice examples. For example, you change the prompt text slightly, in a way humans understand makes the context very different, and the LLM's response changes appropriately.
