I've added labels to dates on my website that show the global average atmospheric CO2 levels on that date — and wrote about why: https://t.co/JaqBfhcVJE

fascinating how the people who were experimenting w deep learning in 2015 have profoundly different reactions to the latest LLMs and image generators than the folks who got started a couple years ago, and again from those who got started this year.

A lot has happened in the last six years — from the first idea for the app in 2017, the first proof-of-concept in 2018 and the beta release in 2019 until today! We learned a lot about building a product from scratch and have kept polishing every piece of it.

When I get emails from @TheNewSchool's Exec. VP for Business & Operations announcing no pay or healthcare for striking adjuncts, I think about his ~$500,000 salary, while I'm fighting with @UAW7902 to get ~$7,500 to teach a class. #NewSchoolStrike

@shannonmattern So am I :) I’m rooting for you that Penn will make for an easier-to-write goodbye post!

[Philipp Schmitt @philippschmitt]

@shannonmattern Thank you for this essay 🙏 Taking your class was my most cherished “only at The New School” experience!

I guess I did sign up for Mastodon? @[email protected]

[Philipp Schmitt @philippschmitt]

I've been active on Twitter since 2009. So many good things have come my way through the people on this site, both for my career and personal development. I'm sad, not sure I have the energy to rebuild on Mastodon. FOR NOW, TIME TO ANNOUNCE ONE MORE PROJECT FOR THOSE STILL HERE!

[Philipp Schmitt @philippschmitt]

@TonyZador Thank you for finding these! I might need to do another project just about plots of neuron activations, gradient descent, etc. :)

@SeerMarkets No they don't. These diagrams are either in the public domain and/or copyright of their respective authors or the academic journals where the paper was published.

[Philipp Schmitt @philippschmitt]

@donatoaz @thomaskipf Thanks for the suggestion. At least stylistically these diagrams should be well-represented in the collection :)

[Philipp Schmitt @philippschmitt]

@BobThibadeau @hhmmss @Grady_Booch I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'd love to talk to Selfridge about his demons.

[Philipp Schmitt @philippschmitt]

@mashahupalo Thanks :)

[Philipp Schmitt @philippschmitt]

@chrismoffett Thank you :)
