The Stockholm R user group is rebooting! Rasmus Bååth (@[email protected]) will talk about "Three Strategies to Tackle Big Data in R" on 16/11. meetup.com/stockholmr/eve…

It was fun to talk to a large and engaged audience about obscure DL methods for tabular data (and why gradient boosting is still going strong)

"Instead of working on the core of the code and focusing on the performance of a self-contained application, developers are now forced to act as some kind of monstrous manual management layer between hundreds of various APIs [...]" vickiboykis.com/2022/12/05/the…

Still surprised that ByteDance (TikTok creators) of all companies are working on protein folding prediction algorithms, but maybe I shouldn’t be…

So to summarize: * GPT-4 could "run" R code, in that it predicted output from R code. * It was able to do this even though the code wouldn't actually work because of a missing column. * It didn't tell me the column was missing 🤷‍♀️

If you come from a ML background but don't really have statistical fundamentals, i.e. modelling for inference (not prediction), traditional time series modelling, comparing sample means etc. are there any good learning resources out there? #datascience #rstats #statistics

White to move - how does he mate in 2 moves? (Disregard that white is completely winning. This is from a bullet game)

An open call to former open ai employees. Now is the time to tell the open source community what the small but important details of your internal work is! It can be anonymous but please enlighten the world while you have the chance between jobs. 😊

What I learned leading a data science & software team in biotech You You are a technical leader at a biotech startup. Your title is Director, or VP of Data Science / Machine Learning / Engineering, or CTO / CDO. Your remit is to develop a "platform" or "engine", an exciting

It's weird how we live in an age of miracles with respect to AI/ML, and yet when I want to extract some text from a screenshot the best (very bad) option is tesseract, last updated ~7 years ago.

It’s no secret that LLM training data is running out. How close are we to the limit? To answer that, here's an estimate of the total amount of text in the world from every major source:

Great opportunity - Max is the real deal when it comes to the tech side
