Some of the smartest people I know are leaving AI research for engineering/neuroscience. Their reasons? 1. We need to understand how humans learn to teach machines to learn. 2. Research should be hypothesis -> experiments, but AI research rn is experiments -> justifying results.

- 2.7 million have enrolled in Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning course - Geoffrey Hinton has been cited 340k times - TensorFlow has been used in 60k OSS projects Hypothesis: in 5 years, when these millions of students have gained hands-on experience, we'll have AI skills overflow.

So, do you want to help get your community out of lock-down, back on their feet, and cut the death toll? Here's how you can help: 1) Share this video 2) Create a mask, and take a selfie with it 3) Use the hashtag #masks4all youtu.be/BoDwXwZXsDI

Here's an idea: How about open source models that experts can study, critique, and improve. There's a lot of brilliant data scientists, econometricians, epidemiologists, statisticians, etc who would love to help. I'm going to see what I can do to help make this happen.

ML models need to be integrated into data products and larger systems to be useful. This is a crucial and hard skill to master. I recommend this book by Emmanuel Ameisen. It covers the entire end-to-end process of building and managing data products. amazon.com/Building-Machi…

Sobering thread about "vehicle ramming attacks", of which we've seen too many of in the past few days and years. I am horrified that six states introduced legislation to make these kinds of attacks legal (?!?!) against protestors (thankfully, none passed). This is messed up.

Attacking medics is a violation of the Geneva convention. The medic who attempted to treat Justin Howell was shot with “less lethal” rounds at point blank range.

guys I know the Geneva convention doesn't apply to domestic stuff lmao, the US has a proud tradition of not adhering to the international standards it imposes on others

The Geneva Convention apparently officially doesn't apply to domestic civilians, but it still seems like a reasonable set of conventions to adhere to for everyone and all the time, and this compilation is deeply disturbing.

we need to start asking ourselves why exactly we can’t do this to other countries, but we can to our own people. could it perhaps have something to do with the fact that colonial nations would never have agreed to sign if it meant they would have to stop colonizing?

We are going fully remote first at Quora. Most of our employees have opted not to return to the office post-covid, I will not work out of the office, our leadership teams will not be located in the office, and all policies will orient around remote work. (1/2)

2010: some people put papers on ArXiv 2012: we put papers on ArXiv after peer-review is done 2016: we put papers on ArXiv the day after deadline 2018: we just put stuff on on ArXiv 2020: you wake up with a headache and wonder if you drunk-posted something on ArXiv you will regret

Roger Stone. Found guilty by a jury on 7 federal criminal counts. No jail time. Kalief Browder. Accused of stealing a backpack. Couldn’t post bail. Spent 3 years at Riker’s awaiting trial. Ultimately committed suicide after released. We have two justice systems in our country.
