Sumble co-founder and CTO. Learning high-quality, structured data about the world. Formerly @kaggle
- Letโs make a deal: America will adopt the metric system, Europe will adopt 10,000,000.00-style number formatting
- Programming: 10% writing code. 90% figuring out why it doesnโt work Analyzing data and ML: 1% writing code. 9% figuring out why code doesnโt work. 90% figuring out whatโs wrong with the data
- Replying to @brianwiltBoth America and Europe are wrong here. ISO-8601 dates (YYYY-MM-DD) is a hill I will die on. Unambiguous and sortable as strings!
- Between ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot I think I spoke more to AIs this week than humans
- Easy parts of applying machine learning: .fit() .predict() Hard parts: .clean() .transform() .get_data() .frame_problem() .debug() .handle_nonstationarities() .handle_missing_inputs()
- Replace "AI" with "matrix multiplication & gradient descent" in the calls for "government regulation of AI" to see just how absurd they are
- Excited to launch Kaggle Learn - interactive tutorials on machine learning, deep learning, R, and data visualization
- The blockchain movement is 100x worse than the NoSQL movement. Every time I see a new blockchain idea I ask โwould a relational DB be unambiguously better in every regard here?โ (generating page views expected). 99% of the time the answerโs yes
- pandas pro tip: use df.style.format(thousands=",") to make larger numbers legible (I'm confused why this isn't the default display)
- How did a tiny research team at OpenAI outperform thousands of scientists at Microsoft Research? Turns out they used Google Meet instead of Microsoft Teams
- Deep learning and AI get all the buzz/press. The untold story is all the hard valuable work to create high quality datasets that enable them
- Itโs embarrassing and infuriating that some #NIPS2017 authors couldnโt get visas to present their work. USA should be leading through enlightened example, not disgusting racism. We lose when we canโt attract the top AI minds, whatever they look like and wherever theyโre born
