I have just read this book and I strongly identify with the authors. In the increasingly accelerated landscape of machine learning (where a paper from two years ago is considered "old"), I think these kinds of reflections are really important for researchers in academia.

A long human life is about 90 years. You can visualize that as weeks. I wrote an R/shiny app and a Python CLI (click) that'll make this plot for you when you input your birthday, and give you a printable 8.5x11 PDF. https://github.com/stephenturner/lifeweeks #Rstats 🧵 1/5

A post by @cloneofsimo on Twitter made me write up some lore about residuals, ResNets, and Transformers. And I couldn't resist sliding in the usual cautionary tale about small/mid-scale != large-scale.

I am super hyped and happy with our recent paper on a ✨VampPrior 2.0✨: Hierarchical VAE with a diffusion-based VampPrior! 🦇 We got SOTA VAE results on CIFAR-10! Kudos to Anna Kuzina because this TMLR paper is the last chapter in her PhD thesis 🤩

I don't really see a clear path where we keep an open internet that is not mostly full of AIs talking to each other. We can't reliably detect AI content, it is cheap and easy to generate, and there are lots of incentives to do so, even besides scams.

Have you ever wondered how to train an autoregressive generative transformer on text and raw pixels, without a pretrained visual tokenizer (e.g. VQ-VAE)?
We have been pondering this during summer and developed a new model: JetFormer 🌊🤖
