Canadians, if you‘re considering switching to a heat pump to heat and cool your home, and you’re curious about utility bill costs, pay back period, and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, I made a thing for you. Link 👇

I had a pretty fun conversation with Jon Krohn the other day on startups, wind energy, the electrical grid in the US, ML, and (of course) how neural networks really work :)

We speed up renewable energy site selection & due diligence, reducing months of work to minutes. With $11M in new funding led by Navitas, we'll improve our software tools to allow quick, informed decisions that accelerate the energy transition. paces.com/news/paces-rai…

Help send a bunch of researchers to DL Indaba this year! For less than one H100 we can send 25 people!

Today we say goodbye to Deep Learning Indaba after six inspiring days in Kigali rich with keynotes, tutorials, workshops, mentorship circles, and insightful posters that kept us learning non-stop. Some of us were only able to make it down to #DLI2025 because of your generous support.

A little while ago, many of you gave generously to support a number of MLC-Nigeria researchers in attending Deep Learning Indaba #DLI2025. Here's the crew 👇that attended; from what we hear it was a bustle of talks, posters, mentorship, and sparks of collaboration!
