Don't forget to look up this weekend, the #Perseid meteor shower peaks in the night between 12–13 August, and - with an almost New Moon - it could be quite spectacular (weather permitting😉) 👉 🔗https://t.co/KK4xkorWi2 (pic: @SkyandTelescope)

Interesting points of view about AI in our civilisation. Seen in @TheEconomist.

Wonder what an emoji looks like in binary code? It’s made up of bytes — a coding system that underpins all classical computing.

A quantum computer functions very differently, and it could change the internet as we know it https://t.co/6xCfOR7YIQ

LLaMA is a new *open-source*, high-performance large language model from Meta AI - FAIR.

Meta is committed to open research and releases all the models the research community under a GPL v3 license.

[NEW] Machine Learning Specialization - Andrew Ng

ML specialization is the revamped edition of the former Stanford machine learning, one of the famous and earliest AI courses. Materials for the new course are now freely available. No Matlab, just Python!

Don't give your kids an allowance.

Pay them interest instead.

I made a system that naturally instills the power of compounding and makes them understand money.

Here's how it works, my downloadable worksheet, and the results:

[PyQuant News 🐍 @pyquantnews]

A Bloomberg Terminal costs $27,660 per year (raising to $30,000 in 2023).

It's the portal to all the world's financial data.

Reserved for the Wall Street elite to outfox the normal investor.

Unaffordable for 99.9% of us.

Until now:

Programming isn't so much about conveying to machines instructions for how to do a thing. It's more about building clear mental models of the thing. That's the hard part. Writing the code and running it can be a tool to shape your own thinking.

@tiangolo @FastAPI Super bien, felicidades y a no bajar la guardia!

Nuclear power is good, nuclear weapons are bad.

If you want to make the world a better place... chances are the most effective way to do it is to have kids and raise them well. So that the next generation may be kind, compassionate, and emotionally & intellectually fulfilled.

[Kevin Roose @kevinroose]

I spent the past few weeks playing around with DALL-E 2, the AI image generator.

It's incredible, and it inspired this column about a wave of AI progress that I think we should all be paying much closer attention to.

Dubner & Broadhurst found this 15601-digit palidromic prime, which reads upside-down as well as back to front, yielding a 4-group of symmetries.
