This is beautiful work! First, I thought this would involve using PCA to go from 3D to 2D, which would result in an easier selector to use, but at the expense of representing every…

When you have Claude Code indepedently author commits and PRs and merge them in, it'll always credit itself as an author. I assume it showing up in the README is a byproduct of the…

Every time I come across a pudding article, it stops me in my tracks. They're always so rewarding!

Not me, but my dentist always keeps one of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's livestreams in her office. Sea otters: https://www.youtube.com/live/abbR-Ttd-cA Jellyfish: https://www.youtub…

I have the same issue. Perma-black loading screen that resolves as soon as I disable ublock origin. Using Firefox on Debian.

I interpret it a different way than that. I see application code and testing code as both a part of blue team. It's the code reviews and architectural critiques that are part of re…

They made Claude Code available on their $20/month plan about two weeks ago. Your point still stands, of course.

I love the animation when you click "No" on "Do you want a new Pebble?". So extra.

This is really cool! I've seen Jensen's inequality used many times over in my stats/ML classes, but the traffic example here gave me an "aha" moment about how it manifests. I like …

I'm not a huge fan of the color/pitch relationship they seem to be trying to establish. What I do appreciate is the engineering design in these interactives. The circular metronome…

It sounds like Google wants to get more edge compute in people's homes so they have a new vector to deploy AI products on, but they're still so far from actually deploying an innov…

Very cool! Just curious, would you consider adding more exotic experimental design setups like Latin Square Design to the roadmap?

At a high level, Bayesian statistics and DL share the same objective of fitting parameters to models. In particular, variational inference is a family of techniques that makes thes…

I feel like cost, availability, taste, and strength are kind of important actually.

I didn't expect Sweden's Prohibition history to be so interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systembolaget#History

This seems really cool! I noticed the landing page has a rotating PNG gallery in desktop but not on mobile. I'm sure you must've wanted to put it in the mobile page too, was it har…

I don't know. I think the younger 20-somethings all have this same kind of dream, but the older people get, the more comfortable they seem hiding behind NDAs at FAANGs or staying i…

But for such a model, the joint pdf would not be written simply as a product of each individual pdf. That's what independence provides.

I mean, instead of using a fixed threshold at 500, if you use a live threshold determined by the recent average upvotes, then yeah I'd have no qualms with calling them outliers. It…

Right. But if you make the notation slightly more explicit, then the integral of L(data, params) over data is 1. This follows from the independence assumption. So we ARE working wi…

Hi! Some background first: I'm putting together a blog right now using Hugo and D3. I'm a huge fan of D3's infinite flexibility, as seen in some famous scrollytellers [0-1], and I'…

Any explanation on the choice of the colormap? It can have a powerful effect on how we perceive this visualization.

Yes, this is a counterfactual line of reasoning. It's certainly legit, and I believe it's an active field of research in ML, but at the end of the day, you're still poking around t…

As long as it spits out a p-value and the human decides it looks pretty small.
