That @OpenAI Rubik's cube thing was pretty cool and all, but I just successfully installed a brand new faucet for the first time in my kitchen sink, WITHOUT any Bluetooth sensors nor LEDs in my fingertips. Zero-shot learning, y'all!

I often get asked: "How do I pass the Google interviews?" I decided to write up the responses I usually give in my first blog post. I really hope this proves helpful to people, and feel free to send me suggestions/comments! psc-g.github.io/interviews/goo…

In the year 2045 Flight attendant: Is there a machine learning researcher on this flight? Dad: *nudging me* now's your chance! Flight attendant: Our autopilot system is failing with a shape mismatch error.

it's perf season at google, which is often a big source of stress for lots of us, especially when going for promo. a few months ago i had an epiphany (of sorts) that got rid of pretty much all my perf anxiety. a thread in case it helps others (google or not): 1/🧵

I never win anything, but today at the @NvidiaAI #NeurIPS2018 lunch I won a T-Rex GPU!! I have access to enough GPUs all already, so I'd like to donate this to a school, or somewhere where it'd make a difference. Preferably in Latin America. Suggestions welcome!
