📄🔈✨ Deep learning is an empirical science, but we rely on basic empirical methods. What might a better foundation—a simple theory—for empirical work look like?

things initially get increasingly more complicated, but then there's a point after which they all start to become simplified.

i guess this can be thought of as learning a better-conditioned energy function.

the past few weekends here and there spread through a few months have been fun for me. i vibe-coded and along the way learned various services that enable one to rapidly deploy a trial version of a web service.
an awsome era for software development!

recently gave a talk on <Reality Checks> at two venues, and discussed (and rambled) about how leaderboard chasing is awesome (and we want it to continue) but that this isn't easy because everyone (me! me! me!) wants to write more papers.

These biases can lead to dramatic downstream effects that cause unexpected conclusions from analyses. For example, RSA may identify two models computing the same, complex task as much less representationally-similar than either of them is to a model computing a much simpler task (right panel)!

Understanding and creating mathematics using natural mathematical language … used by humans is a challenging and important problem for driving progress in machine learning.

Japan has started rice rationing in stores as another harvest gets decimated by extreme heat. The future is grim for island nations that are directly exposed to sea surface heat spike.

ok truly done with my two weeks of vibe-coding (catching up with the trend): the final day ended with local inference using gemma3 via ollama for the medical advisor app for Mac OS.
it's slow (bc my laptop) but it works to some extent. local models, local inference and privacy will win!

EPIC never sent me any offer, not to mention a zuck-level one, and thus, out of spite, i've tried to build a Mac native app of my personal medical advisor.
still waiting for a call with a zuck-level offer from EPIC 🤑

yet another day of vibe-coding: people use LLM as their bespoke medical advisor. what if this advisor can be super-charged with your own medical records?
