@doodlestein Yeah shoutout for this, I’ve been using it for months and it’s been great

[Peter Gao @PlanetaryGao]

I present to you the best paper of the year

I was running into issues with memory and runtime in PyTorch so I decided to learn JAX and make my own:

Here's SaxBI, a repo for performing likelihood-free inference with Flax-based normalizing flows/classifiers and NumPyro's NUTS sampling

You are seeing what our air operations are seeing. Incredible. Destructive. Sad. #CZULightningComplex

For academics (especially White academics, but this goes for everyone) reading #BlackintheIvory and wondering how you can support Black students and academics here is a thread of things to consider a number which have been especially supportive of my own professional development

Looking for ways to help?

I found this especially useful https://t.co/rzAqp6m4g0. It's written with astronomers in mind, but can be applied to any STEM field.

Comes with a good list of resources too!

[Kyle Cranmer @KyleCranmer]

I also highly recommend reading @iamstarnord's touching letter (cosigned and coedited with @IBJIYONGI ) #Strike4BlackLives

[Katie Mack @AstroKatie]

Massive appreciation to @iamstarnord & @IBJIYONGI & their colleagues for writing the statement and organizing the #Strike4BlackLives event, as well as for their voices and leadership in the physics and astronomy community in general.

Police policy reform now.

A statement on George Floyd, Empathy, and the Road Ahead, from @SamCharrington and the @twimlai team. https://t.co/eGJnUrQZVT

[Elle Osili Wood @ElleOsiliWood]

We're all angry about George Floyd.

So, want to know what you can ACTUALLY do to help?
Where to donate? How to organise protests? How to stay safe around police? Where black people can find free therapy? What to read to educate yourself?

Here's how you can make a difference:

@KyleCranmer @NYUDataScience @NYUScience @nyuniversity !!! I've been pestering Johann about this since i first heard about it 😅 Really looking forward to reading it in detail

[John Tamanas @jtamanas]

@glouppe Ah I guess I got lucky finding these https://t.co/yGsXwrs6XM but now I have even more great slides to browse. Thanks!

[John Tamanas @jtamanas]

@glouppe thanks for keeping your neural net intro slides public! Googling good resources is much easier when I can include the author 😁

[John Tamanas @jtamanas]

@glouppe Yes, deep learning essentials! Specifically I was looking for your graphics talking about the universal approximation theorem
