Of course, with a "good" RNG seed, one can get good results. But whom are we fooling? The reviewers? The investors? Ourselves?. P.S: No disrespect to @xeophon_.

I was confused what seed means. I was going to say read X as the seed to build your knowledge, but apparently the interpretation is RNG seed! 😱.Reminds me of Feynman's "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.".

Freaking Famine!.The situation in Gaza will be the stain on our generation and all whose support led to this. #GazaFamine.

The Prime Minister is primed to the Policy Search methods. The AI minister, however, is more into the Critique. #Geek #Humour.

Is Canadian government a monopoly-maker?. I don't seen how supporting only one company/instituion is good for the market. We have examples in telecommunications, air travel, and now AI?!.

Please chime in with your good ideas! This is a draft of my book on the Foundations of Reinforcement Learning, and I'd like to improve it.

What are we talking about when we talk about Dynamic Programming?.#ReinforcementLearning

Of course, the original tweet was much less ambiguous. It was "Planning a syllabus" (not "as"), as in what teachers do in August before the semester starts.

Skimming the timeline, I misread a tweet as "Planning as Syllabus". That made me pause. It sounds like an interesting ideas, doesn't it?.What does it exactly mean though? .Not sure, but maybe we can think of planning of the future as designing a syllabus for our learning agent.

I believe they are wise words, hence my sharing them. My only addendum is to also demand that your taxes be spent wisely and efficiently. The definitions of wise and efficient are arguable!.

From an obituary: "Finally, J. would undoubtedly instruct all who read this to pay your taxes happily, fight like hell to protect universal health care, call your mother, squeeze your babies (fur ones included) and above all, be a good citizen.".

Thanks to Igor @igilitschenski, for being a great co-supervisor, @WilCunningham for always being the encouraging PhD committee, the internal examiner (@florian_shkurti), the external examiner (Philip Thomas), and the chair (Frank Kschischang). I enjoyed working with you!.

Thanks to @UofTCompSci @VectorInst, the funding agencies @NSERC_CRSNG @CIFAR_News (I accept more of your money now!), and @polymtl @Mila_Quebec, which let me continue supervising my PhD students at @UofT!.

Let me introduce Dr. Claas Voelcker! @c_voelcker .Claas defended his PhD on Friday (Learning to model what matters–Representations and world models for efficient reinforcement learning) at the University of Toronto. Claas is my 3rd graduated PhD (🌟🌟🌟), and I'm so proud of him!

@UofTCompSci @VectorInst @NSERC_CRSNG @CIFAR_News @polymtl @Mila_Quebec @UofT Also thanks to Rich Zemel for being a supportive co-supervisor, @NicolasPapernot for being an expert PhD committee member, the internal examiner (Vardan Papyan), the external examiner (David Evans), and the chair (George Eleftheriades).
