Replying to @lindsey
I started my career in telephony. When I was an intern in the mid-80s, a lot of people (not employed at AT&T or the baby Bells) used the term "Bell-shaped head" to refer to a particular engineering mind-set...

Check out the guest blog from @ResidentMario at @spell_ml comparing #DataScience ETL runtimes on CPU vs GPU. Spoiler alert - @rapidsai and @dask_dev on #GPU are 10X faster. nvda.ws/3bNIF89

Uh oh, I notice a strange side-effect of being exposed to #gpt3 texts: similar to the early days of DeepDream when I started to see eyes in patterns everywhere, now whenever I read any text it gives me a kind of strange unreal sensation as if everything I read has become fiction.

So @jimtankersley talked to Kevin Hassett about the whole "cubic model" mess, and long story short, I'm pretty sure Hassett owes @NateSilver538 $538. nytimes.com/2020/05/06/busin…
I would bet $538 that the White House's "cubic model" is literally just an MS-EXCEL trendline with a third-degree (cubic) polynomial.

My university just announced that it’s dumping Blackboard, and there was much rejoicing. Why is Blackboard universally reviled? There’s a standard story of why "enterprise software" sucks. If you’ll bear with me, I think this is best appreciated by talking about… baby clothes!

Every rich business guy reads the same rich business guy magazines with articles like "5 Ways AI Can Change Your Business" and think they need a whole ass data science team with machine learning engineers, when 90% of them only need a small team of aspies who are good at Excel.

I’m a data driven manager. I’m a real numbers motherfucker. I love to roll around in the data, getting my hands dirty with it, just getting fucking amped on adderall, glaring at excel spreadsheets, occasionally getting a migraine when I try to do high school level mathematics

AI that plays games is my least favorite kind of AI. I'd much rather have AI that makes games for me to play

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of your dad trying to sound cool on social media and then asked it to write a tweet of its own:
#ConDon takes another shot at me. But I’m a total @SadiqKhan stan, so consider any comparison a compliment. Plus the Mayor is a much better British doppelgänger than Brexit Bojo....
