What many people do not know is how broken the startup ML / DS hiring pipeline is. It's really easy to laugh at this egregious mistake. For some additional context, here are some t...
the @taylorswift13 x artificial intelligence collab i have waited my entire programming career for: "you tell me about your past thinking your future was me" https://t.co/2MjQSCnw...
mltrace v0.16 is out! In this release, we make big steps towards our vision of data & machine learning pipeline debugger. We introduce the `review` feature, which allows people to...
Thread on relevant reflections from Richard Gabriel on AI companies < 1996, with my thoughts: 1/ Today's AI faculty at top schools have 1+ startup. They follow the same patterns:...
Recently I realized that the biggest benefit of going to Stanford is not the high quality of education or the network of successful people. It is the entitlement we develop, which...
This is quite interesting. I am a huge champion of "iterate on the data, not the model." However after further thought, I think there is actually greater opportunity to create aca...
Some tidbits with interesting implications for AI/ML software from the EU's proposed AI Act (https://t.co/KftTk8ahJD):
Computing hardware is getting really freaking powerful! I think edge inference and ML will become more popular very quickly. It's pretty exciting to think about what this means f...
I'm tired of hearing people blame data scientists for broken production ML pipelines because they don't have "good software engineering practices." We can have a more productive co...
I used to believe a browser was just a UI for the internet, but after working in ML I have come to realize it is much more -- it is also a centralized place for web developers to d...
Stop gatekeeping in research by imposing undergrad GPA constraints (that seem to last through the PhD). You have to be mentally & financially secure to be able to focus mainly on s...
Update: I'm now working on ML tooling! When I did applied ML, it seemed like many tools I initially found interesting were divorced from the reality of data, ML, and systems. I do...
