'My family is dying' meme gets a training-run edition with a crash-annotated loss curve
Sauers_ · x · 2026-11-10
The classic 'someone who is good at economics please help me, my family is dying' meme gets an ML training edition. The attached chart is a real training loss curve from step 0 to 1000+, densely annotated with multiple 'no steps' gaps: 19 crashes fixed in specific commits, new data/code making runs 'not comparable with before,' main score switching to a new question set, and more — effectively a timeline of every training disaster. The author self-deprecates via meme while the annotations double as a genuine incident log.
