Stop saying that AI is just a tool and it only matters how it is used
I’m tired of this phrase and this simple way of thinking about tools. This blog post is a wandering train of thought on the topic of what tools are and why it matters to be even slightly more mature in how we think about them.

A polynomial autoencoder beats PCA on transformer embeddings
A closed-form autoencoder: PCA encoder + quadratic Ridge decoder. On FiQA it gives 4× compression of mxbai-embed-large-v1 at -0.88 p.p. NDCG@10, +1.34 p.p. over PCA. No SGD, no neural networks.

Understanding LSTM Networks (2015)
Humans don’t start their thinking from scratch every second. As you read this essay, you understand each word based on your understanding of previous words. You don’t throw everything away and start thinking from scratch again. Your thoughts have persistence.

When Greedy Algorithms Are Good Enough (2014)
Greedy algorithms are among the simplest and most intuitive algorithms known to humans. Their name essentially gives their description: do the thing that looks best right now, and repeat until nothing looks good anymore or you’re forced to stop. Some of the best situations in computer science are also when greedy…

A round-up of topology-based papers at ICML 2020
With this year’s International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) being over, it is time to have another instalment of this series. Similar to last year’s post , I shall cover several papers that caught my attention because of their use of topological concepts—however, unlike last year, I shall not restrict the…

Notes on Cruise's Pedestrian Accident
This is a set of notes on the Quinn Emanuel report on Cruise's handling of the 2023-10-02 accident where a Cruise autonomous vehicle (AV) hit a pedestrian, stopped, and then started moving again with the pedestrian stuck under the bottom of the AV, dragging the pedestrian 20 feet. After seeing some comments about this…

AI made coding more enjoyable
To me, one of the most annoying parts of software engineering is writing code that doesn’t require thinking. It’s just a typing exercise, and that’s boring.

The Neural Net Tank Urban Legend
AI folklore tells a story about a neural network trained to detect tanks which instead learned to detect time of day; investigating, this probably never happened.
