Machine learning teams depend on upstream pipelines for training data and downstream infra to serve models.

What can we do if these teams won't or can't help?

There's this person who many stakeholders want to work with. When asked why, his manager remarked: "Because he's hungry and gets shit done."

Can this hunger be cultivated or taught?

I've been reading Cixin Liu (Three-Body Problem trilogy, Wandering Earth) and it often touches on social progress/inequality, technological issues, alienation.

I'm curious how his work ties to Chinese culture and society and the deeper meaning behind them—any suggestions?

I got 40-50 new followers over the past 48 hours, mostly tech and data folks.

What’s driving this spike in mastodon adoption / twitter exodus?

Wrote a short overview of autoencoders and how they compare to diffusers, especially the denoising variants.

We're excited to have Ritesh share about how WhatsApp catches and fights spam & abuse. He'll share about:
• ML models (mostly GBDTs & NNs)
• Training data
• Features
• Lessons from the field

Next Wed, Dec 7, at 9AM PST.

RVSP below!

It seems diffusion as the noising process isn't as critical as we think—other noising processes can also achieve similar results.

Thanks to @roycoding for raising this in the @normconf slack!

It took a while but I finally wrote what I learned about the fundamentals of text-to-image generation. We'll discuss:

• Basic diffusion
• Text conditioning
• Classifier(-free) guidance
• Moving from pixel to latent space

Feedback welcome!

@vicki @Aarontrent Thanks for the ping Vicki. @ Aaron, you might find the posts in this "Start Here" page helpful. (I like to think that they're concise and worth the time reading too.)

@john You're welcome! As an alternative, if you prefer Hugo and javascript, I also created applyingML.com to learn Hugo and JS. The code is available here: https://github.com/eugeneyan/applyingm l

Figuring out Mastodon and started with following folks I follow here there: https://twitodon.com and https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/ have been helpful for this.

Any other migration tips?

Spending some time setting up my profile on Mastodon so here goes:

Hi I'm Eugene! I work as an applied scientist at Amazon where I design, build, and operate machine learning systems that serve customers at scale.

My interests are machine learning, engineering, recsys, python, pragmatic systems, and practices & mechanisms for effective ML teams.

Outside of work, I'm sometimes scribbling on my site eugeneyan.com.
