The lack of understanding of how current AI/ large language models work makes us susceptible to thinking that AI is more powerful and all-knowing than it actually is. That’s what concerns me the most.

Ich steh bei Aldi* an der Kassa und hab den Einkauf am Band bereits strategisch so platziert, um beim Einräumen einen Vorteil gegenüber der Kassiererin zu haben. Sie legt los. /1

Have been thinking about this post by Ethan for a few weeks now and sharing it with everyone I know. It is so, so spot-on. Data scientists often don't learn good engineering practices because they are alone, and this prevents them from learning. ethanrosenthal.com/2023/01/1…

Nick Trefethen, professor of numerical analysis at @UniofOxford, explains what the concept of resonance can teach us about dribbling. Watch out, @StephenCurry30!

Most of us who work on heavily used systems at scale saw this one coming, and that they would propose a rewrite as they just have, and we also don’t think this is the answer. This is why hubris is a very counterproductive quality in engineering. Why do we all agree on this?

When our sister Caribbean states experienced disasters in the past, 🇧🇿 was ready to assist. Many campaigns & drives were organised; we shared serious concern over their situation. 🇧🇿 is presently reeling from a hurricane and not even messages of sympathies have been expressed. – at Belize

Pandas DataFrame output is now available for all sklearn transformers (in dev)! scikit-learn.org/dev/auto_ex… This will make running pipelines on dataframes soo much easier, and provides better ways to track feature names! thanks to @thomasjpfan @glemaitre58 and Christian Lorentzen!

One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen. Sensible, honest, smart. I’m posting the video directly as Times Radio tweeted it with a clickbait and somewhat misleading headline that unintentionally confirmed his point. More of this please.

Conservative leadership contender Rishi Sunak has referred to the Equality Act 2010 as a "trojan horse" of "woke nonsense" and has pledged to review it if he becomes Prime Minister. Here is some of what is contained in the Equality Act 2010: [1/7]
