Episode 152 is out 🎙️
Host @alex-andorra.bsky.social talks with Daniel Saunders about a Bayesian decision theory workflow.

Big idea: stop optimizing for model accuracy and start optimizing for decision value.

New episode is out, where we dive into how to use #ProbabilisticModel to do #DecisionMakingOptimization -- because the best model is useless if you can't make decision from it. See you in there!

Memorization vs. generalization in deep learning: implicit biases, benign overfitting, and more Or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the memorization

What is the relationship between memorization and generalization in AI? Is there a fundamental tradeoff? In infinitefaculty.substack.com/p/memorizati... I’ve reviewed some of the evolving perspectives on memorization & generalization in machine learning, from classic perspectives through LLMs.

Open models are in a perpetual race to stay relevant at the frontier. While they're doing better than I, and many experts would expect given the cost of models, I don't see evidence that open models are accelerating and surpassing the best closed models.

Bayesian neural networks need one thing to matter: good uncertainty. Scaling them has always been the hard part

In this episode, host @alex-andorra.bsky.social with Emmanuel Sommer, Jakob Robnik, & David Rügamer explain what’s changing, faster sampling, better dynamics & more ..

Python: The Documentary | An origin story
Python: The Documentary | An origin story YouTube video by CultRepo (formerly Honeypot)

The live chat for the Python documentary (www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfH4...) is making me super emotional this morning.

I owe so much of my career to Python. From geospatial analysis > web dev > data engineering and more, Python has been at the center.

Python is forever <3
