Sprookjes zijn handig. Ze helpen ons een complexe wereld te begrijpen in een simpel verhaal. Maar sprookjes hebben ook een keerzijde. In welke sprookjes gelooft jouw bedrijf?

While listening and reading about #EffectiveAltruism, I’m wondering about the need to express our extinction probability in numbers (especially very “accurately”). There is a risk that we take these numbers themselves too seriously and forget other kinds of suffering. Thoughts?

Loved this talk by @Mappletons on visual storytelling: https://t.co/t6aRxhqQk4 In it, she refers to “Metaphors we compute by” by Tim Rohrer, which was hard to find. I dug it up through the magic of the wayback machine: https://t.co/8ipFmWCrxC

For f*ck sakes. Just heard my old Dutch design team at Degreed all got laid off. Who is hiring? Send me a dm. It’s a group of truly amazing humans and designers. ❤️

Frontend tooling is weird. Running `npm audit fix —force` multiple times. Sometimes it sees 11 vulnerabilities, others 22. How is anyone getting stuff done using this toolchain?

Just got assaulted with a tennis ball while riding my bike, thrown by two guys on a scooter. It went by so quickly, and they were gone by so fast… It’s frustrating that I can’t really do anything about it. 🤬

Love this take by @shawnblanc: the point of reading is being introduced to new ideas. 🧠 Too often we forget the gist of a book, while focussing on details. @readwise helps, but I’m still looking for ways to capture the overall theme of a book better…

Or: How much manual labour is necessary to train a (albeit huge) neural net.
Time to talk about the biggest mistake I made while training DALLE-Mega 😥

Dat is natuurlijk relatief makkelijk als je al vermogend bent, maar datzelfde geldt uiteraard voor de top van alle grote multinationals.

Wat de beloning betreft, wellicht zou hier het voorbeeld van @paulpolman beter gevolgd kunnen worden. Voor zover ik begreep uit het boek “Het grote gevecht”, verzette Polman zich regelmatig tegen zijn beloning en schaamde zich voor de hoogte ervan.
De Philips topman wilde zich een bonus toe-eigenen van 1,8 miljoen euro, terwijl hij zijn doelen niet had behaald én het bedrijf in crisis verkeerd. Ter vergelijking: ik zou het tot aan mijn pensioen makkelijk kunnen redden van dat bedrag. Waanzin. https://t.co/sTnnNDtHwJ

Simply apply SHAP and other methods to interpret your machine learning model, paste those charts into a report and you're done? Unfortunately, if you do, you're likely to make a mistake. Avoid these pitfalls when interpreting your machine learning model.👇

Been trying out @getmatterapp for a while, but seriously considering going back to @instapaper. Sent a whole bunch of articles to my queue to be reading this Sunday, but they are nowhere to be found. Seriously disappointing. Hope I get access to @readwiseio reader soon!

I was wondering why spaCy, trained via prodigy, didn’t find my custom architecture. Turns out, you need the `-F <file>` flag to load the code first. This flag isn’t listed in the CLI help message…
