Why neural networks struggle with the Game of Life
The Game of Life is based on very simple rules, but artificial neural networks struggle to learn its rules through the classic deep learning training process.

Anthropic's August 2025 threat intelligence report on AI cybercrime and other abuses.
Success in the movie industry relies on a studio’s ability to attract moviegoers—but that’s sometimes easier said than done. Moviegoers are a diverse group, with a wide variety of interests and preferences. Historically, movie studios have relied heavily on experience when deciding to invest in a particular script—but…
Will ML code generation like GitHub Copilot replace coding by hand? We say no: developers still maintain generated code, so abstraction matters.
Railway Mania, dot-com, AI. Technology bubbles follow a pattern older than any of them. What's different this time is that everyone knows the script.
Full stack software engineer / entrepreneur specialized in AI agents, cybersecurity and graphics. In my free time I enjoy surfing, free diving, and contributing to open source software.
A cost and speed comparison between the Lambda Hyperplane 8 V100 GPU Server and AWS p3 GPU instances. A very similar comparison to the DGX-1.
A while ago there was an interesting thread on the Julia Discourse about the “state of machine learning in Julia”. I posted a response discussing the differences between Julia and Python (both JAX and PyTorch), and it seemed to be really well received! Since then this topic seems to keep coming up, so I thought I’d…
Gaussian splats, SIMA 2, JEPA and Genie 3 — and why “world model” now means three very different things at once.
In 2023, Meta researchers were able to decode images in thoughts from the brain's magnetic fields. What if that's how the brain coordinates it's own global state?
Google is unveiling a new Quantum AI campus in Santa Barbara, California.
Claude Code Security is one step towards our goal of more secure codebases and a higher security baseline across the industry.
I scraped hundreds of Reddit comments that compare Claude Code and Codex, and used Claude Haiku to build a sentiment analysis dashboard. The dashboard and my interpretations are shared here.
Fine-tune with a single command.
The enormous advance in AI capabilities over the last several years has in large part been driven by the availability of vast amounts of training data.
Confused by LLMs, RAG, & AI Agents? We break down the spectrum of AI system design with a familiar resume-screening example to show the leap in capabilities (and complexity) at each level.
I gave a talk about accessing Large Language Models from the command-line last week as part of the Mastering LLMs: A Conference For Developers & Data Scientists six week long …
Update September 30, 2021 – This post has been edited to remove broken links. Today, we’re extremely happy to launch Amazon SageMaker Autopilot to automatically create the best classification and regression machine learning models, while allowing full control and visibility. In 1959, Arthur Samuel defined machine…
GPUX is a distributed supercomputer.

Generative Adversarial Networks refer to a family of generative models that seek to discover the underlying distribution behind a certain data generating process. This distribution is discovered through an adversarial competition between a generator and a discriminator. As we saw in an earlier introductory post on…
In this guide, I will share the standard architecture for data-informed language model applications and explain forthcoming improvements in knowledge retrieval.
Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is a fundamental concept in linear algebra, and it is particularly important in the field of machine learning for tasks such as dimensionality reduction, data compression, and noise reduction.
In the world of data, textual data stands out as being particularly complex. It doesn’t fall into neat rows and columns like numerical data does. As a side project, I’m in the process of developing my own personal AI assistant. The objective is to use the data within my notes and documents to answer my questions. The…
