I dunno. This analysis is great but it just *feels* wrong. NYT probably bought his Twitter account

This whole "the NYT ruined Wordle!" thing is a great case study in confirmation bias. It also gives us some insight into human nature that helps explain how conspiracy theories work.

JuliaCons are fun because they bring together a bunch of super smart people working on very diverse and interesting cutting edge problems. 10/10 would recommend

There is nothing intuitive about probability theory. And it's perfectly ordinary not to understand it. The kids are okay. But yeah it'd be great if secondary school education were less focused on rhombuses and more on the product rule.

This tweet was a joke. But it’s also a completely plausible scenario based on what we know about both language models and git mistakes.

Haha, FSD 9 beta is shipping soon, I swear! Generalized self-driving is a hard problem, as it requires solving a large part of real-world AI. Didn’t expect it to be so hard, but the difficulty is obvious in retrospect. Nothing has more degrees of freedom than reality.

Finally, you have an engaged community ready to use your amazing software. Implement it! You know what you need to do, and you have a good sense of who will use it and how. This is the easy part, and you'll be motivated through the process.

In short... share your unfinished thoughts and intermediate work. And be ready to make mistakes in public. It was very difficult for me when I first started in OSS, but got easier over time and allowed me to grow tremendously. Good luck!

Generalizing automatic differentiation to not do differentiation? Uncertainty quantification, sparsity detection, improve the stability of numerical solvers, and expose more parallelism. This is explained in detail in the new blog post: stochasticlifestyle.com/gene…

Generalizing Automatic Differentiation to Automatic Sparsity, Uncertainty, Stability, and Paralle...

Automatic differentiation is a “compiler trick” whereby a code that calculates f(x) is transformed into a code that calculates f'(x). This trick and its two forms, forward and reverse mode automatic...
