Evening in the country, perhaps after skiing. A straight, warm dress of wool and rayon, its waist pulled in with a string, its skirt a new ankle length. By Joset Walker. Jewelry by Seaman Schepps Vogue November 1946 © Frances McLaughlin-Gill
Leaked Internal Google Document Claims Open Source AI Will Outcompete Google and OpenAI
The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter, which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to "a level of respective incompetence": employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another.
Buone intenzioni, implementazione proposta pessima.
[Warning: This might be the longest Shtetl-Optimized post of all time! But that’s OK; I expect most people will only want to read the introductory part anyway.] As I’ve mentioned before…
A from scratch GPU-free introduction to modern machine learning. Many tutorials exist already of course, but this one aims to really explain what is going on, from the ground up. Also, we’ll develop the demo until it is actually useful on real life data which you can supply yourself.
Other documents start out from the (very impressive) PyTorch environment, or they attempt to math it up from first principles. Trying to understand deep learning via PyTorch is like trying to learn aerodynamics from flying an Airbus A380.
Il mondo è molto più grande del piccolo cerchio che noi chiamiamo Comunità internazionale, avverte il fisico. C’è molto di vero in questa arringa, ma anche un disastroso errore di fatto
Stephen Wolfram explores the broader picture of what's going on inside ChatGPT and why it produces meaningful text. Discusses models, training neural nets, embeddings, tokens, transformers, language syntax.

Stephen Wolfram applies lessons learned from the Wolfram Physics Project to construct a proper framework to explain why--and to what extent--the Second Law of thermodynamics is true.
La Michela è utilizzata dall'Ottocento: è ancora competitiva, ma richiede tanta formazione e ora ci sono alternative più moderne
Recently I came across a piece of code which is nearly 50 lines long, plus several global variables, a state machine, all it does is to debounce two buttons. Button debounce does not to be this complicate, in this article I will show you probably the simplest button debounce solution.
Raffiguravano rane assassine, uccellini stecchiti e scene che oggi sono piuttosto insolite, tra il macabro, il grottesco e l’inquietante
Updates about my life and what I learn about creating software
My thoughts and experiences on how writing a daily journal improved my memory and understanding of myself.
This is a page about some of the mechanics of ‘big data’, specifically how to store, transfer and process perhaps 100s of millions or billions of rows/events.
Although some people think big data starts at 65k rows, at which point Excel used to lose it, I’m talking about gigabytes of data here.
Infrastructure for this kind of thing abounds. Data can however come from lots of sources, and go to lots of different places.
