Toronto Public Health, I'm a Toronto resident. I need guidance about COVID vaccination, COVID safety at home, work, and transit, and clearly presented data to show ambient risk. I want us to know about health risk. I want us to know about indoor air quality. Will you help us? 8/8

This is a damning report. The Ford government cut wastewater testing early citing that the federal government would take over, which was never true. Doug Ford's government knew, from an internal memo, that wastewater surveillance would, "test the whole population to identify

Doug Ford… CAN’T/WONT ❌ Get housing built ❌ Get infrastructure built ❌ Get healthcare capacity built ❌ Run an education system that isn’t a Ponzi scheme CAN/WILL ✅ Spend $1B to get beer in corner stores 1yr early ✅ Butter buns of corrupt mooches he calls “buddys”

We have no science center, the hospitals are precariously understaffed, parks are overrun by homeless people for whom there is no space in shelters, but at least we can buy booze early in the morning from Muhammed’s corner store. Thanks Doug!

.Jagmeet Singh effective solutions to problems like this is what people want to see from the NDP (or any party) that's serious about tackling housing affordability. Hope to hear one from your party in the coming months

Ontario is raking in the biggest tax haul as a share of GDP (outside the pandemic, when GDP declined) ever. Bigger even than when Bob Rae was Premier. (But affordability is Justin Trudeau’s fault) #cdnpoli #onpoli

Looking forward to presenting our latest research on RL for Combinatorial optimization at InstaDeep Thanks ICARL for hosting this event

I remember speculating about this (paper -> podcast, though really just dictation) back in 2019, and it was dismissed as way too hard. What's "way too hard" today that we'll see in 2029 I wonder?

I have this argument all the time with ppl. Positional ordering isn't solved in domains where no natural ordering exists just because you use a transformer.

Quite a good fact check from Martin Regg Cohn. Toronto Star: Believe the numbers, not the premier: Doug Ford's unemployment numbers are worse than when he took over from Kathleen Wynne thestar.com/politics/polit… #onpoli

The MIT Bioinformatics Seminar is back this semester! We have an exciting series of speakers, with some joining virtually and others hybrid/in-person. Please check out the talk schedule here: math.mit.edu/compbiosem/. (1/n)

It's mind boggling that after six years of government in ON by Doug Ford, and four years of "municipal government" by Fords in Toronto, we still feel compelled to treat these grade-school optics-only proposals as genuine policy proposals. It's bonkers.

Ford likes to brag about his beer & wine “deal” - which cost us millions of dollars. It is astounding that they can fast-track alcohol while 1199 ERs closed last year. Ontario. You deserve better. #onpoli

Please, someone with storytelling talent, please realise this.

Yep. Not only would this cost ~300B dollars in 2024, it would require expropriation of many, many houses and buildings. Utterly insane to consider when you can buy back the 407 for way less, and immediately increase capacity across the GTHA

When Double Descent & Benign Overfitting became a thing, I was a masters student in statistics — and so confused. I couldn't reconcile what l had literally just learned about bias-variance&co with modern ML Here's what I wish someone had told me then: arxiv.org/abs/2409.18842 1/n
