@kchonyc
a mediocre combination of a mediocre scientist and a mediocre advisor at @nyuniversity (@CILVRatNYU)
google map didn't tell me thisriute was this awesome. just realized it thanks to @PetarV_93 ! 🤣
in introducing @sedielem , razvan mentions two historical artifacts, echo state networks and theano. no one in the audience but old wise ones laughed.
an actual rigorous test for so called RSI is to use it to arrive at the current sota LLM from scratch. if it is exponential, the initial point really shouldn't matter. otherwise, it is just another occasion of computer scientists re-discovering for loop.
i am learning that a lot of people secretly have always wanted to be G-men.
reading it now, and i already see some stark parallel between NSA and some of the so-called frontier labs; both hiw (seemingly) competent they are and how blind they are. x.com/0x00b1/status/…
umm nyt, if you thought susan zhang was worth hearing from, add asian fears in the title together as well. you can't really brush off asian americans aside in this political discourse because one of the victims didn't fit the discourse.
the era of computational math and stat is here: a proof within computational budget and constraints by search rather than a proof under strong assumptions by derivation. along this line of progress, @luciusbynum, rajesh ranganath and yours truly put forward computational identifiability. the link to arxiv below.

perhaps the most important lesson for all of us who are not dillusional from @huggingface's incident report: ``` ... When we started the log analysis, we first used frontier models behind commercial APIs. This did not work: ... these requests were blocked by the providers' safety guardrails, ... We ran the forensic analysis instead on GLM 5.2, an open-weight model, on our own infrastructure. This had a second benefit: no attacker data, and none of the credentials it referenced, left our environment. ... ... The practical lesson ... have a capable model you can run on your own infrastructure vetted and ready before an incident, both to avoid guardrail lockout and to keep ... credentials from leaving your environment. ... ```
this game is so unfair. spain has 11 players while argentina has only 1 player on the field.
not entierly sure about @OpenAI 's choice of the authoritative source
another hot tip: call it gemini-4-flash and release right now
@sharongoldman well .. okay not only those in bay area, but the concentration there can't be denied.
so sad a lot if us (inc me and my friends) in AI have lost the ability nor desire to hear ourselves talk and to listen to others. a good podcast interview today of jasmin sun

in estimation and inference, i want lower cariance. in simulation and data generation, i want higher variance. how about bias? hmm
i've tried. i've really tried to love gemini. but ... just subscribed to chatgpt again after nearly two years.
