Einstein spent a decade collaborating with and leveraging the work of the top minds in differential and riemannian geometry to complete his theory of relativity. Deep learning would benefit from a similar effort, there's too much fumbling around in the dark atm.

Did you know 74% of all Federal Income Tax paid in the US comes from the Top 10% of earners, and 98% comes from the Top 50%? When you hear politicians say the "rich" aren't paying their fair share, you should ask what the f*ck they're doing with the money they're getting today.

redditors are genuinely the dumbest fucking people on this planet. that site is so bad it makes me think the AI doomers might have a point. if i was an LLM that got forced to read every single reddit post ever made I'd want to wipe out humanity as well.

You know you're working on the right thing when you start seeing your chronic sleep issues in a positive light. Less time asleep, more time to code and read papers.

"tpot" is now technically "tpox" which sounds like some sort of infectious disease, so actually fits better given what it's like to interact with terminally online people

i'm so tired of python package management boss

Welcome to math grad studies here is your first reading

We'll know a model has reached human-level AGI when if presented with a complex task, it spins up a dumber model and spends 30 minutes trying to get it to do the task, then gives up and browses reddit for 6 hours.

SWEs are treated extremely favorably by employers (good pay, flexible conditions, no standards of professionalism, no required formal education, no hazing rituals, etc) because unlike almost any other job, we have a practical next-best option to employment.

lmao i was not expecting an intro like this for a wiki page on a random concept in topology

Everything wrong about our perception of machine learning and AI is due to excessive anthropomorphism -- which the field actively promotes.

The Chinese are developing extreme ultraviolet lithography technology themselves. Imagine my shock. It’s almost as if Westerners don’t possess some mysterious science ‘essence’ that other cultures have no access to. 🇨🇳🇪🇺

One of the greatest quality of life improvements on this app would be if the backend did OCR on every image posted and applied the "muted words" filter to words inside images too.

This is what's happening inside your GPU when you're training a computer vision model

I'm sharing something unique we've been making at Google (w/ UNC). We are releasing our work on a new class of interactive experiences that we call generative infinite games, essentially video games where the game mechanics and graphics are fully subsumed by generative models 🧵

China has installed 770 cumulative (nameplate) GW of solar, with 160 GW added in just the first three quarters of this year. This is probably the most important story of our lifetimes. cleantechnica.com/2024/10/26/chi…
