The main traits desired for successful employees in C21: flexibility of thought & creativity.
The main traits displaced from modern jobs due to automation & JIT operations: flexibility of thought & creativity.

Good software engineering is one of the top underrated skills for successful deep learning. A problem is that many of the practitioners come straight from academia and Python is forgiving. Trying to port your code to C++ or Cython is a good practice exercise.

The Internet, especially Twitter, is a cultural anthropologist’s dream.
E.g. a favourite hobby of mine is watching misunderstanding of machine learning circulate through all the way up to “mainstream” news (almost always wrong). Clue: you need a catchy name & gimmicky visuals.

I’ve realised this week that my rounded up rule of thumb for world population - 7 billion - should now be updated to 8.
The profoundest changes are normally the most invisible.

It’s nice being on the forefront of the crashing “millennial” wave.
I’m close enough to “Gen X” to have a highly cynical view of the whole “naming generations” thing, yet firmly a “millennial” when it comes to being screwed on housing and wage growth.

I try to have similar “threads” with the family when they complain “the wifi isn’t working”.
Mostly rolled eyes and “just fix it Brainiac”. twitter.com/andreisavu/sta…

The paper is here - nuffield.ox.ac.uk/users/cox/cox4…. I like considering that most swanky ML companies worth paper $$$s are mainly using stats from the 1950s and before. Just with better computers. twitter.com/gabrielpeyre/s…

This also, I think, says why CEOs have much higher incomes than nurses. As CEOs are rare they can command a larger %age of a companies revenue & the decision is small & easy. Funny how the “talent” justification gets this the other way round (high pay for rare skills).

I need one for multivariate statistics. (Problem with that is there often aren’t enough Xs available & inconsistent notation.)

Yes - all devices are set up for that. For some reason, laptops > iDevices (but all appear bad even with the yellowy nighttime tinge). It might also be my brain associates laptop with thinking and so doesn’t shutdown properly.

Yep - without that noise (or at least some of it) we wouldn’t be here today.
It’s also apparently similar to the noisy chaos of the tiny quantum realm - where stuffs pops in and out of existence.

It’s weird - if I look at a laptop for 30mins-1hr from 7pm it really messes with my sleep - both in terms of getting to & maintaining sleep.
On the other hand, e-Ink Kindles are great at sending me off.

Turns out most of the big gains in machine learning can actually be driven by the relatively simple jobs of scaling and visualisation.
Everything else is just matrix algebra.

Cool - I’ve found something similar when looking at binary neural firing models - binary & sparse appears a feature not a limitation, especially when there is interaction or the ability for different kernels to capture different portions of the input signal.

I'm pure loving this example of how France's focus on machine-readable laws is starting to pay off. Change the structure of the tax system on the left (with ref. to the laws), see the fiscal impact on any type of household you choose on the right. leximpact.an.fr pic.twitter.com/00aBXkw8ok

Yes! It's only been in the last couple of years I've felt this, & often with some quite fundamental mathematical concepts that, even at research level, just get applied without question. I now understand (20 years late) why the best teachers wished for questioning in students.

Also another thing I like about getting old: you learn to let time do the heavy lifting.
Look at something and play until you get stuck. Give it 24-48 hours (do some exercise). Come back: more often than not, insight!

The great thing about growing older & still reading is that even simple things everyone takes for granted can be shown to have a hidden power when viewed in the right way.
Whether through bias or wisdom (or both!) things begin to click, which is one of the best feelings.
