And highly regulated.
That is why I was so surprise.

Related: the first time I heard of companies actually using AI to replace people was in the insurance industry, specifically with some underwriting stuff. I was honestly quite surprised.

Before covid, I talked a lot with Zenna Tavares about this topic. What you described from the paper might be the right approach to think about it. I’ll read the paper soonish.

In my iPad I use an app named marginnotes that allows you to split the document in several windows and one is devoted to the appendix/references

Recently, I was thinking of going back to very low-level programming, but it wasn’t clear to me whether there was a real need for it or if it was just an echo-chamber effect. Your comment makes me think it’s the former.

I ran the following experiment: for each person in the errata, I asked gpt to search for other books in which they appear. I learned about "Bayesian Filtering and Smoothing". Ended up buying it.
I'm very impressed by the complexity of the query and the difference in performance –Claude found nothing

This is not OK.

I don't submit often to NeurIPS, but I reviewed papers for this conference almost every year. As a reviewer, why would I spend time trying to give a fair opinion on papers if it's what happens in the end???

Unfortunately, our submission to #NeurIPS didn’t go through with (5,4,4,3). But because I think it’s an excellent paper, I decided to share it anyway.

We show how to efficiently apply Bayesian learning in VLMs, improve calibration, and do active learning. Cool stuff!

Post-hoc Probabilistic Vision-Language Models

Interesting feeling: I'm reading a book and, on the errata page, I see many acquaintances' names. Feels like I'm late to the party. (Clearly one I should’ve read earlier.)

Almost every ML post on tw feels like an ad in one way or another, producing different levels of cringe.
I wish I could see traces of principia Discordia online again.

Unrelated, but the permanent exposition of Sol LeWitt at MassMoCa is amazing.
