🇿🇦 Getting through my undergrad in Math and Comp Sci. Maybe art sometimes.

I just want to ramble about the stuff I'm learning cause I think it's neat.

Wow!

1. Best "beginners' beginning" definition of a topological space I have encountered.

2. It makes the case for the mathematical necessity of topology.

“They said it could not be done”. We’re releasing Pleias 1.0, the first suite of models trained on open data (either permissibly licensed or uncopyrighted): Pleias-3b, Pleias-1b and Pleias-350m, all based on the two trillion tokens set from Common Corpus.

This week on Counting Stuff, I want the internet to have more "intermediate+" level content (so I can read it!) but writing at that level seems hard so I thought about why and ways to make it somewhat easier #dataBS

Making "intermediate+" content
It's that the internet needs, and we're the only people who can create it for ourselves and our peers.

ML practitioners have forgotten a fundamental lesson from statistics: correlation does not imply causation. Not only do most state-of-the-art methods neglect this crucial principle, but by doing so they often produce nonsensical or flawed causal models, akin to social astrology or physiognomy.

The Gini coefficient is the standard way to measure inequality, but what does it mean, concretely? I made a little visualization to build intuition:

Outlined an AI research review article for December… I love traveling but I also can’t wait to be back on my computer 😅.
In the meantime, if you are curious how Multimodal LLMs work, I recently wrote an article to explain the main & recent approaches: magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/understand...

More people should read Schumpeter. Homeboy passed in 1950 but he understood "emergence", the centrality of entrepreneurship and innovation in driving both economic destruction and growth, and the ultimate end of industrial-labor formulation of "capital".

Bayesian Neural Networks

Bayesian neural networks address overfitting by modeling uncertainty in the weights. Plus they can be trained using standard neural net tools using an algorithm called stochastic variational inference, which we cover at the end of this tutorial.
