Mother to at least 5 ML models...but nowdays trying to make it a bit easier to AI Responsibly.

TLDR on Bias and Fairness: Your model did not just fall out of a coconut tree, it exists in the context that it was trained in.

Is the moral of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer that ugly people are only accepted if they are useful?

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

Time once again to over think the lyrics to Christmas songs every time they play everywhere

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

"He knows if you've been good or bad, so be good for goodness sakes" - the first clause implies that you should be good cause Santa is watching - not just because. A logical statement would be, BUT be good anyway (or something)

When I have git-blame enabled in my editor...

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

It is honestly terrifying how quickly this platform started showing me election denial content from the left

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

I don't think I have ADHD (despite it being a sexy self-diagnosis)...but I just can not listen to live talks that are not at 1.25x

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

I've noticed others doing it...but am just as guilty

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

It is actually really hard to listen and not just be thinking about the next smart thing you want to say.

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

A pre-print criticizing the limitations of pre-prints is highly ironic or at least very amusing

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

@AnishTondwalkar You forgot a key fourth H: horny.
Otherwise...you just have a best friend.

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

Trading purple for red Skittles with your coworker is what communism is about...right?

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

Some people text their exes WYD at 2am"..meanwhile I text them "so what's your take the safety situation at Open AI" at 6:30 am.

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

All I want for Christmas is confidence intervals on results

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

I could put an effort into curating the people I follow here, or I could read random crazy things on my For You feed...honestly the later is surprisingly fun

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

Nothing fills me with more existential dread than the unending cycle of chores

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

Every few months it is handy to go through and purge 80% of your open TODO list

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

@AnishTondwalkar I just don't want it running `rm -rf /` in my best interest 🥲

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

Didn't they teach us in grade school to not run random exe files on our computers.
I'm not using an agent outside a VM any time soon.

[Kyle Corbitt @corbtt]

Just launched agent.exe, a free, open-source Mac/Windows/Linux app that lets you use Claude 3.5 Sonnet to control your computer!

This was a fun little project to explore the API and see what the model can do. Computer use is really cool—I expect 2025 will be the year of agents.

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

@AnishTondwalkar And yet somehow "A/S/L" was okay

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

Bonus: LinkedIn is the worst...but people posting all the time on LinkedIn aren't "all" wearing 5 other hats. Or maybe they are, but their energy is depleted elsewhere

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

Two life tidbits of wisdom (from start-up life):
1. [Primarily for software architectures] When deciding between several options, ask yourself: How easy will this decision be to undo later?

[Anastassia @AnaphoraResolve]

2. You only really get "one thing" at a time. You can't learn everything and do all your projects. Yes, there will be people who know more about the other things. Find your focus.
