Somebody needs to make a coffee lounge with beautiful leather couches, cards and chess available to play, cigars able to be purchased and smoked. I’d spend all my hours there for work and play. Probably make high quality friends. This aesthetic is next to none.

The physics-major-turned-ML-researcher who nervously reassures themselves that physics was a great foundation for ML but deep down knows that all those all-nighters spent solving Lagrangians doesn’t have shit to do with their full-time job of hyperparameter tuning

Updated my personal website this week. It's been 3 years since I last did this, and my feelings about web design & type have certainly changed since then!

Everything we call civilization was invented in the last 500 generations—way too short a time for our bodies and brains to re-optimize. We're a bunch of primates in a totally unnatural environment, trying our best. Good thing to keep in mind!

Are there any specific, worked-out scenarios for how AI will dramatically benefit the economy (or any other large thing)? I have looked, and not found any. It's all "everything will be totally transformed!" but there's no mechanistic details. https://t.co/XGW3JzZ6Hb

Some really cool (programming) tech that I think are underrated right now and that have proven very useful to me this year:

I'm now realizing that many folks assume there must be somebody on earth who knows how LLMs work. This is false. Nobody knows how they work or how to program one. We know how to find LLMs using SGD, but that doesn't tell us anything about how they work or about how to program one

the cognitively impaired are being financially and socially eaten alive to a degree they wouldn't have been even 15, 30 years ago

new scams are being generated faster than normal people can keep up and they can't realistically protect anyone who can operate a smartphone

This top ten list celebrates biology. I hope it showcases that this has never been a better time to work in this area, or to write about it. 🧫

Biology doesn't *feel* stagnant when we reflect on its rapid progress.

So here are my Biology Breakthroughs of 2022!
