Our article about customizing loss functions for gradient boosting in @TDataScience today with @groverpr4. It's the culmination of a lot of work for one of our clients where normal MSE and MAE did not capture the business needs appropriately.

Americans, let’s welcome fleeing Afghans with open arms. Let Afghanistan’s loss be our gain, as Iran’s, Vietnam’s and Cuba’s were before.

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

[Jeremy Howard @jeremyphoward]

Wow.

@OpenAI has trained a model that can create new images - you just describe them in English. 🤯

This is a perfect example of the sort of article that would not have made the cut in the New York Times' newspaper of record days (which I'm old enough to remember), but does today.

We recently released V2.0 of Orbyter, with more tools to make your life easier. KDNuggets just wrote up a nice piece about it today. If you've used it, let us know what you think! https://t.co/iPwz1tJjM2

With so many children out of school as a result of COVID-19, there has never been a more urgent need to facilitate learning. We're calling on our community to support in whatever way possible so children can continue their education. Help Room to Read: https://t.co/wEUjQyR717

I just donated to @SavetheChildren to transform children's lives and the future we share. Join me: https://t.co/Ss2MTE0W6c

Learning:

1) Make something. It sucks.
2) Realize it sucks.
3) Actually care about it.
4) Find ways to improve.
5) Try again; repeat forever.

A lot of people get stuck at either 2) or 3).

4) and 5) are practically automatic if you pass 3).

@StephanieWaxman @ImAmyO @missjohnson @strataconf @cred_sf Thanks for the shout out! Love the meme capture from the talk :)

I really enjoyed working on this article about the ways in which machine learning can be used in medicine, with my co-authors @alvin_rajkomar and @zakkohane!

Writing is underrated. We've been using internal documentation extensively at @manifold_ai to synthesize our thoughts, better collaborate, and provide transparency across our team. I've personally been inspired the writing culture at companies like @stripe and @amazon too.

The ROI of human ethics is often on a long time scale. Much of human ethics is about overriding short-term interests. Housing issues, climate change, inequality-- none of these are sustainable long-term. @timoreilly #StrataData
