Lefts is a small domain specific language for applied machine learning modelling. It is aimed at anyone that builds predictive models for a living and wants to focus on reasoning a…

So cool! Really looking forward to playing around with this. It was also a great little explainer of how these tilings get made. One question: how do you guarantee/prove that the t…

Pesticides are bad for bees, but Varroa is too. Until Varroa arrived in Australia the bees there didn't suffer from colony collapse, despite high pesticide use.

That's true of all statistical models, it's not some magic property of neural networks.

Great stuff - I really hope you manage to scale this up!

I can see the mathematical results are interesting, I was more wondering if there was a practical utility to this TreeFlow thing they built.

Apologies if I didn't understand the paper, but why do you want to apply diffusion models to tabular datasets in the first place? Do we think they'll be better than decision trees?…

Do neural networks work better than other models? They can definitely model a wider class of problems than traditional ML models (images being the canonical example). However, I th…
