@InternetH0F Pouring wine "underhanded" with your palm facing up is considered bad luck. Because the gesture resembles how assassins would have allegedly added poison to drinks by releasing it from a ring. In Italy, IYKYK.

@jeremyphoward I asked GPT-4 to write a python program to solve the Spelling Bee puzzle and it was flawless. Here is the prompt: "list the first 30 longest words that must include the letter M, and must include only the following letters: D, I, C, A, E, Y "

@jeremyphoward Along the same same lines I asked ChatGPT March 23 version (3.5) to play NYTimes Spelling Bee a week ago and it was not correct. Prompted by this tweet I asked GPT-4 the same prompt today and it was much better and it worked.

⚠️PSA Warning! ⚠️

If you have installed PyTorch-nightly between December 25th and December 30th, 2022, you should remove it immediately from your system. That version has been compromised by a malicious dependency chain.

@burkov And yet top @kaggle’ers build and reuse common ML infrastructure they have honed over many competitions. There is still great utility in standing on the shoulders of other giants to get a head start. Once you’ve established a benchmark, sure, reconsider your entire stack

Taking a morning walk in Atlanta (here for the Gathering 4 Gardner) I came across Charles Perry's 1971 sculpture "Early Mace".

@JordanTeslaTech @elonmusk @Teslarati @teslaownersSV @TeslaJoy It reminds me that “On October 5, 1960, the warning system at NORAD indicated that the United States was under massive attack … It ... had spotted the rising moon.” https://t.co/HhkpR2n5fx

Announcing a new online course I'm creating: An Intuitive Guide to #Bayesian Statistics https://t.co/GnWkWdxCjC Focus is on building intuitions with visuals and code examples, rather than the classic math-first approach. Sign up for sneak-peek and early-bird discount. #PyMC3

[Paul Perry @paulperry]

@TheAndyCamps @IHME_UW Here is the code, but good luck figuring out how to reproduce results. https://t.co/267XZHc1rA

@MebFaber Take the poll again when this one expires. Things are moving so fast my answer has now changed. And you can ask if they know someone who has passed away. :(

Oops, I started a ML blog: https://t.co/32MLjgRZGH

First posts are on JAX, Einsum Notation, and Visualizing ROC Curves.

Next up is a survey of methods for attending to long seqs, and a detailed dive into the Reformer architecture!

Dr. Woodie Flowers, one of the great educators of our time, is gone.

How many people are in #STEM careers today because of Woodie's work at @MIT, @FIRSTweets, and @PBS' "Scientific American Frontiers"?
