My favorite of these was "Jeff Dean puts his pants on one leg at a time, but if he had more legs, you would see that his approach is O(log n)." https://t.co/6CsvoKEepU
When I was a Google intern, there was a whole message board devoted to Jeff Dean jokes, which were basically Chuck Norris jokes but for nerds. Anyway, I heard when the loss wasn’t dropping fast enough on Gemini 3 training, Jeff Dean went in and wrote the tokens himself.

Here at Galadriel, we are building a different kind of AI. Instead of a Dark Lord, it will be a queen. Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love it and despair!

For those wishing to try out this method themselves, I recommend the TensorCrossInterpolation.jl package by Marc Ritter and Hiroshi Shinaoka. Also the QuanticsTCI.jl extension is fun to try.

The cool thing about NYC is that you can go from *this* to *this* via a one hour train ride on the Metro North

Did you know that having accurate floating point operations at every step doesn't guarantee your algorithm is stable? #NumericalAnalysis #ScientificComputing #Julialang #SciML

This is just awful news. My introduction to "real" mathematics came in the fall of my freshman year, when I took Linear Algebra from Conway. We have 100 Conway stories from that one course alone. How do you learn vector spaces? Compute dimension of the space of 3x3 magic squares!
RIP John Conway. I asked him a lot of questions when I was a postdoc at Princeton and he always had a lengthy, deep, informative answer

- Immigrates to US at 15 dirt-poor - Undergrad at Hudson Valley Community College & SUNY Albany - PhD at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign - NSF postdoc at Harvard ... Nobel Prize! A testament to the US education and research system and the US would be poorer without it!
This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story: “I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to

I have been reading this old book and it’s excellent. I had learned Kernel methods/Gaussian Processes via Rasmussen-Williams (also withstanding the test of time) but this is better. Ben Recht was writing recently something like “nobody cares about kernel methods these days”.

Hangzhou is insane. Just look at what these kids do. They casually made a fleet of trash-catching trash cans for a 3 minute video. 232 likes as of now. And all their stuff is like this. https://t.co/6ypqHQgvzX
