@eduzsh I think lot of problems around AI should be ripped away from AI researchers, we should put them deep into the cellar and let them work only on training at most ;-)
E.g., inference as an algorithm optimization exercise is more like comparable to a driver design than anything to do with machine learning. For me writing couple of inference engines from scratch has been mostly fun and I'm quickly becoming good at it despite I know almost nothing about training and machine learning. However, I think about e.g. CPU cache hierarchy almost every day (very first time was at high school while writing texture mappers for Pentium with its dual-integer pipeline plus additional simultaneous FPU 1/w op at best).
AI researcher can be considred like hardware designer or compiler writer they just have now overemphasized weight. Often e.g., a C++ compiler and successful programs written in C++ come from different carbon based entities :-)
Just had a bag of Scampi Fries for the first time in about 20 years.
The logo is Smiths which is utterly untrue since Smiths Crisps got bought out years ago.
I’m told by my daughter that Cheese Moments no longer exist but them and these and Bacon Fries are very different from other Smiths. Did someone have a Tesco Finest moment in their head and convince the board to go with it?
Back when the big player in pub snacks were KP who sold dry roasted peanuts on a card with a woman in a bikini on it.
One minute I’m writing code, then working on a blog post, and then the next thing I know I’ve downloaded the Rushmore screenplay to check something. I’m all over the place today.
Surround yourself with beautiful things that inspires you to reach for more. Then sweat the little details with the same zest. Not just because it makes for better products, but because it makes for a better you. Be someone who cares. About aesthetics, competence, all of it.
