Back from another China trip. 6 days - 5 cities - 8 factories. Like always, China overwhelms & scares you with its speed & scale. One goal for the trip was to learn how do we replicate same thing in India. We went to factories that have seen exponential growth in last 5 years.

MLPs are so foundational, but are there alternatives? MLPs place activation functions on neurons, but can we instead place (learnable) activation functions on weights? Yes, we KAN! We propose Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN), which are more accurate and interpretable than MLPs.🧵

I have a friend who makes like high six figures as an engineer. I once asked him his secret and he was like, “honestly man, I just read one engineering textbook every year, which is one more book than everyone else I know reads.”

It looks like Twitter is *globally* withholding a tweet in response to a legal demand in India. This is a disaster for free speech online. Indian law dictating social media speech rules globally—a worst case scenario for free speech and content moderation. https://t.co/J5azU3gPFC

A dramatic #Seattle #Sunset from a few days ago(02/13). The rain mixed with the sunset colors made for some cool drama in the sky. I am still out of the country, had to extend my trip, but my trusty camera is working non-stop back home and I found this gem during a quick triage.

Thinking about how 100 years ago Seattle had elevated streetcar tracks that went from downtown to west Seattle.

Park Chan-wook’s DECISION TO LEAVE hits MUBI today. A beguiling, romantic detective noir, as visually ravishing as it is precisely controlled, Park Hae-il and Tang Wei, on the film’s enigmatic wavelength, deliver two of the finest performances this year. https://t.co/x0yyuGYBD2

On Tuesday night, locals in Chamarajanagar found a man carrying a body wrapped in a plastic cover on his shoulders. The police took the body for post-mortem and the man into custody. But during interrogation, he told them that he couldn't afford an ambulance.

On the eve of Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman's birthday, take a look at this clip from 1930 when Raman had just arrived in Stockholm, Sweden to receive his Nobel Prize at the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony on 10 December.
