Many of the greatest papers, now canonical works, have a story of resistance, tension, and, finally, a crucial advocate. It's shockingly common. Why is there a bias against excellence? And what happens to those papers, those people, when no one had the courage to advocate?


😂😂😂

I still can’t believe Aldi sells these for 25 cents. I’ve got 8 of them now and don’t really even have a use for them, it was just too good of a deal to pass up.

New 20hr bootcamp on Probability & Statistics!!! Videos released weekly but full playlist already posted: youtube.com/watch?v=sQqnia… Probability & Statistics are cornerstones of data science and machine learning. This course rapidly covers the basics and gets into advanced topics.

Times..they are a changin

oh, and, more trivially, teaching is a solved problem. i'm getting extraordinary performance improvement in my GPT tutors in the space of a year. soon, they will answer questions better than i do.

Awesome initiative

arXiv -> alphaXiv Students at Stanford have built alphaXiv, an open discussion forum for arXiv papers. @askalphaxiv You can post questions and comments directly on top of any arXiv paper by changing arXiv to alphaXiv in any URL!

School of Math at Georgia Tech just had some additional postdoc positions available due to increased fund, for Fall 2024 (not 2025). If you know someone strong whose graduation was not expected or was somehow overlooked in a tough job market, encourage them to apply! Thanks.

Interested in learning about differential geometry and its connection to geometric computing? All material from the @CarnegieMellon course on #DiscreteDifferentialGeometry has been collected in a new webpage (videos, code, exercises, etc.). Check it out! geometry.cs.cmu.edu/ddg


Ahhhh, so cool 😍😍😍!! Loving the late 80s/early 90s vibe in this Convolutional Network demo video :)

32-year-old @ylecun shows off the world's first Convolutional Network for Text Recognition. This is 1993. Pioneer in it's true sense.



Great article by @profadamsobel on how to cope with the uncertainties of climate change and the existential question "how doomed are we"

I told a grad-student co-author "try to imagine me as the guy from 'Memento' who can't remember anything & needs clues to pick-up the thread on projects" and they said "I believe you, because you already used that memento analogy"


hahahaha

What do you call the disparity between GPU-rich and GPU-poor? Jensen's inequality



Really cool work

Many physical systems are high-dimensional, but we only really care about some low-dimensional subspace. Our latest work shows how to fit these subspaces as small neural maps automatically, *without* any data as input, just the energy function. Read on to learn how! (1/N) 🧵



Really nice work by @MilesCranmer

Three years ago, I started working on an easy-to-use tool for interpretable machine learning in science. I wanted it to do for symbolic regression what Theano did for deep learning. Today, I am beyond excited to share with you the paper describing it! arxiv.org/abs/2305.01582 1.

I am once again asking people to read almost anything on numerical integration instead of using 1st order forward Euler


This one is so accurate 😂😂😂

Basically every math textbook

A beautifully written piece by Rivka Galchen on Alexander Grothendieck's life and his mathematical contributions newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…


Really interesting thread about Meta's new AI language model. Reminds me of the famous quote by Nietzche "Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster..."

Meta has released a huge new AI language model called OPT-175B and made it available to a broad array of researchers. It also released a technical report with some truly extraordinary findings about just how dangerous this machine can be. 🧵 #AI #OPT175B
