On intelligence, computation, and the work of asking better questions.

  1. Hidden costs of deep learning

    An inquiry into intelligence, movement, and the relationship between people and machines.

  2. Automated Research and Beyond: The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence

    You will soon be able to explain a research question to a machine and get an answer in return.

  3. Thou Shalt Not Fear Automatons

    In this article, I will show that unlike the pundits would like you to think, it’s our ignorance we should fear, not the intelligence of machines.

  4. Hyperparameter Optimization with Keras

    Finding the right hyperparameters for your deep learning model can be a tedious process. It doesn’t have to.

  5. autonomio/talos

    An early public introduction to hyperparameter experiments with Keras.

  6. Can a 12-bit Bit Gate Be a 1-bit Gate Instead?

    A short exchange exploring whether a calculation can stop as soon as the answer is known.

  7. What is intelligence?

    What changes when we stop using human intelligence as the measure of every other kind?

  8. The Heartbleed Weakness

    An exchange about a security assumption that seemed too obvious to question.

  9. Modern Micro Kernel

    A proposal to compile only the library and kernel functions an application actually needs.

  10. This is how scaling looks like

    The energy, materials, and environmental costs behind deep learning—and why more hardware is not the same as greater efficiency.

  11. An autopsy of a data scientist

    A working life divided between learning, wrangling, management, and the possibility of genuinely creative work.
