Francesca Tripodi just published an amazing paper on how Wikipedia articles about women are more frequently mis-categorized as "not notable" and the additional labor it takes to combat this. You should read the paper, but here are some highlights: pic.twitter.com/fUky0b9kn8

Takeaway from @karpathy's CVPR talk:

The most successful ML projects in prod (Tesla, iPhone, Amazon drones, Zipline) are where you own the entire stack.
They iterate not just ML algorithms but also:
- how to collect/label data
- infrastructure
- hardware ML models run on
Announcing the Data-Centric AI competition! I’m excited to invite you to participate in this new competition format, and see how you can improve an AI system only by refining the data it depends on! https://t.co/9S52L3BiZv pic.twitter.com/PriTEj8Fh0

I haven't written anything in *a while* because I've been heads down at @noteable_io so it's great to finally get back to it and get into a topic that I've been obsessing over the last year (and longer outside of startup-land): How we've siloed ourselves.https://t.co/YZFXbE0cE5

The development of hundreds AI/ML/Stats algorithms for diagnosing and prognosticating COVID-19 patients has been a disaster (with very, very few exceptions). Hopefully the worst example of research waste I will ever see pic.twitter.com/IFRew5OCZb

Motor vehicle death rates skyrocketed in 2020 - about 25-30% higher since March
— Teddy Petrou (@TedPetrou) June 9, 2021
Overall deaths inc substantially too. The death rate inc more than miles driven decreased
Death rates have not been this high since the mid 90s. Going back to normal saves 1000s of lives on the road pic.twitter.com/8LuAs01ngW
Today's paper is Why Stress Is Bad for Your Brain.
— Fermat's Library (@fermatslibrary) June 8, 2021
Our bodies' stress response evolved to help us get out of short-term physical emergencies. Such reactions compromise long-term physical health in favor of immediate self-preservation.

I'm regularly shocked by folks who think building some crappy app on top of their data is superior to just giving a link to a zipped csv of the freaking data. https://t.co/kPnOVQyvbV

Cloud TPU Virtual Machines finally released
— hardmaru (@hardmaru) June 2, 2021
These VMs run on TPU host machines that are directly attached to TPU accelerators, so everything feels like it's run locally.
The new 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝘁𝗽𝘂 library supports TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, and soon, Julia. 🔥https://t.co/Yhatj1xaKz pic.twitter.com/N6u3ix0MI0
The way I would improve spreadsheets is by allowing row numbering to start from any integer (including negative). Then row numbers could count what it makes sense to count. Books have done this forever via Roman numerals for front matter. Surely this isn’t so hard to do in 2021? pic.twitter.com/WMopl7uihp

What gripes do you have with LaTeX's default, and what you always add to papers? Here are mine: 1. Cleveref. Don't use "Section \ref{sec:intro}". Use \Cref{sec:intro}. This makes writing less error prone and it makes "Section" part of the hyperlink! https://t.co/SbJkDXJwjK
