Always. Even when it's hard. Even when it's unpopular. Even when it's painful. Just do the right thing. #MLKDay2021

I would absolutely use this primer for ML coursework using python.

So proud to see the day that a woman has finally broken through the impenetrable glass ceiling of American high political office Kamala Harris

First time I heard #LinearAlgebra in a movie today: ‘the eigenvalue is all wrong, just program a Fourier transform’ from ‘No way out’ (Kevin Costner et al). Didn’t make much sense of course, but still commendable. Any other such gems I am missing out? #Mathinmovies

Glad to announce that we have 3 papers and 1 tutorial accepted at @2021Ichi Details coming soon. Collaborative work with Ankur Teredesai @md_carly Vikas and others #ICHI2021

Solving Tensor Puzzles will set you free of the matrix. Great way to learn. Thanks Sasha Rush

Can we just make Yann LeCun president of AI and call it a day please?

Andrej Karpathy The tldr I use: "LLMs always hallucinate. Sometimes their hallicinations align with your reality". Whether or not the prompt makes them hallucinate in a way that aligns with reality depends very much on the prompter's ability to check, and thus.. x.com/rao2z/status/1… )
