Embarrassing
AI made in 🇪🇺 OpenEuroLLM, the first family of open source Large Language Models covering all EU languages, has earned the first STEP Seal for its excellence. It brings together EU startups, research labs and supercomputing hosts to train AI on European supercomputers ↓

I think a lot of people get confused about this, the literature is very muddled and overloads terminology a lot. Take for instance the recent RL overview by @sirbayes . Here "Posterior sampling RL", a real Bayesian inference procedure, is presented *immediately before* "RL as a posterior inference problem", a framework that has nothing to do with Bayesian RL. A reader would be forgiven for thinking they were related, (the words are the same just rearranged!). In fact they are not at all related and the second one is not a principled approach to handling uncertainty in RL, despite the name. Myself and @IanOsband have been banging this drum for a while now with little success. I have spoken with Kevin about this and I am hoping he updates the monograph asap 🙏🙏🙏

Do NOT tell Vivek Ramaswamy about this
10 yo neighbor kid was out in 48 degree weather and heavy rain with his new Duck helmet and gloves he got for Christmas. I stood on the porch having a smoke, watching him run routes and being qb and receiver by himself as the rain came down. I'm 58 and said screw it. I grabbed my grandsons Nerf, and called him over. Wanna run some routes kid? Him... toss it. What a great Christmas. We got wet. I came in and my wife just smiled. No grief for getting the floor wet. Good kid.
