I want to revive the original spirit of the older, pre-commercial internet—if not in form, then in function. A slower, more thoughtful, more creative space. You're invited: edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/lifting-the-…

I'd guess I'd summarize it as, being a "deep learning expert" in 2021 is like being a "medicine expert" in 1800. You know a lot less than you think, and most of what you think you know is wrong. Just keep learning and experimenting, and don't play stupid status games.

I don't consider myself a deep learning expert by any means. There are still a lot more things I don't know than things I know (it's not even close). I've only been working with neural networks since 2009, which is a lot less than many of you.

"I, Pencil" An essay published in 1958 which beautifully describes the amount of human coordination, cooperation and trade that needs to happen for the creation of a seemingly simple object, a lead pencil. ✏️ It's a great read: fermatslibrary.com/s/i-pencil

Shocking and shameful. There are no words. This hits close to home, too. I once worked at an office on this street, literally on this block. I've walked on this sidewalk hundreds of times. Help those who need your help.

Bernard Chazelle proved that if each bird adjusts its velocity and position to the other birds within a fixed radius, the time it takes to converge to a steady state tends to infinity as the number of birds increases.

Never been a great fan of Microsoft buying out Github. TBH I am still convinced that the motive for the acquisition was to exert control over #FOSS, and possibly kill it out completely in the long term: sfconservancy.org/blog/2020/oct/…
