me: it's good code!
them: *look inside*
them: it's incomprehensible regular expressions!

Well that's it for this programme. I'll see you next week (and maybe MJ's video will have finished by then)

Deep Learning as the Disciplined Construction of Tame Objects
One can see deep-learning models as compositions of functions within the so-called tame geometry. In this expository note, we give an overview of some topics at the interface of tame geometry (also known as o-minimality), optimization theory, and deep learning theory and practice. To do so, we gradually introduce the concepts and tools used to build convergence guarantees for stochastic gradient descent in a general nonsmooth nonconvex, but tame, setting. This illustrates some ways in which tam…

THANK YOU to everyone who posted about the series 🤖MurderBot.
Apple offered me a "free one-week trial" and I just finished binge-watching season one.
It is absolutely delicious. I think the last time I had so much fun, such pure enjoyment, was when I saw Galaxy Quest!😊
If not for people on here raving about it, I probably wouldn't have found it. 💙

Been working on Corsi-Rosenthal like filters devices and it's really nice to see them just sucking up PM2.5 particles in minutes when put in a room
Trying to make ones that look a bit less like a DIY shitshow and more professional
Really great and happy with these, considering making a little Open Source project for the few designs I made
Image is a prototype I put together but not yet finished the box with varnish or anything but really loving this

Ein schöner Artikel zum Thema #Kontaktabbruch in Familien von der Psychologin und Leiterin unserer Psych. Beratungsstelle Dr. Christiana Berner

Was können wir tun, um 2026 wieder zu mehr Vernunft in Gesellschaft, Politik und Wirtschaft und rationalem Handeln zu kommen, hinter dem sich eine große Mehrheit versammeln kann? „Weiter so“ wird vermutlich nicht funktionieren, denn es knirscht im Gebälk. Unsere offene Gesellschaft hat gerade wieder mehr Feinde denn je und muss sich wehren. #Demokratie

It's sad that every time you buy a new TV or fridge these days, you have to make sure beforehand that it doesn't include AI and that it doesn't have to be connected to the Internet to function.
And the saddest part: if you ask the salesperson, they have no idea because you're the first person to ask these questions!

There's nothing to be said about Killer that thousands of other people have done a thousand times better than I ever could. So I'm just going to sit back and admire Seal at his total imperial finest. #TOTP

Distributed Functional Optimization and Learning on Banach Spaces: Generic Frameworks
In this paper, we establish a distributed functional optimization (DFO) theory based on time-varying multi-agent networks. The vast majority of existing distributed optimization theories are developed based on Euclidean decision variables. However, for many scenarios in machine learning and statistical learning, such as reproducing kernel spaces or probability measure spaces that use functions or probability measures as fundamental variables, the development of existing distributed optimization…
