Maybe you've heard about this technique but you haven't completely understood it, especially the PPO part. This explanation might help.

We will focus on text-to-text language models 📝, such as GPT-3, BLOOM, and T5. Models like BERT, which are encoder-only, are not addressed.

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has been successfully applied in ChatGPT, hence its major increase in popularity. 📈

RLHF is especially useful in two scenarios 🌟:

• You can’t create a good loss function
  • Example: how do you calculate a metric to measure if the model’s output was funny?
• You want to train with production data, but you can’t easily label your production data

Rich text editing with DraftJS Plugins

Earlier this year Facebook open sourced its React based rich text editing framework Draft.js. At Facebook it powers status updates, comments & notes. Others used it to build editors matching Medium’s experience.

Together with a whole team of open source contributors I built a plugin architecture on top of Draft.js. In this talk I walk you through the existing plugins and show how you can build your own feature-rich text editor for the web with only a handful lines of code. 🤓

Lightning talk proposal for the Reactive 2016 Conference. Here's a handy retweet link

If you want to hear this talk, or if you just want to support me, please star ⭐ the Gist!

When I started writing React apps, I approached components as if they were “just the V in MVC!” Seriously, we’ve all heard it.

I have found this to be an inferior way of thinking about and building React applications. It makes people treat React as a drop-in replacement for something like a Backbone or Angular 1.x View. In other words, people treat it like a glorified template system with partials and don’t harness the power of its functional paradigms.

This talk is about a functional way to write and conceptualize entire React applications.

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.

Can't share the complete code because the app's closed source and still in stealth mode, but here's how I'm using React Router and Redux in a large app with server rendering and code splitting on routes.

Server

1. Wildcard Express route configures a Redux store for each request and makes an addReducers() callback available to the getComponents() method of each React Router route. Each route is responsible for adding any Redux reducers it needs when it's loaded. (This isn't really necessary on the

• Explain event delegation
• Explain how this works in JavaScript
• Explain how prototypal inheritance works
• How do you go about testing your JavaScript?
• AMD vs. CommonJS?
• Which JavaScript libraries have you used?
• Have you ever looked at the source code of the libraries/frameworks you use?
• What are undefined and undeclared variables?
• What is a closure, and how/why would you use one?

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
