I have been a Statistician for 10 years. Some of the earlier Statisticians invented amazing tools like Random Forest, boosting/bagging, Lasso. Since then I have seen no real progress. The same old debates are ongoing. Statisticians with ambitious goals have all moved to AI.

Saw this "BOLD" prediction on the future of AI from Gianluca Mauro, who has worked in AI for 10 years and also teaches at Harvard. It is a very interesting take that I also find myself agreeing with. What are your thoughts? 🤔

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

👀 There are now more than 1,000 functions supporting gpuArray on @MATLAB, making it easier than ever to accelerate your #HPC workflows. ⚡ Learn how you can boost performance with minimal code changes. ➡️ nvda.ws/3ZKGA7Z 🙌

MATLAB now has over 1,000 functions that Just Work on NVIDIA GPUs

GPU support in MATLAB started in R2010bBack in R2010b, the first GPU enabled functions were made available in MATLAB via Parallel Computing Toolbox. The idea was then, as it is now, to overload...

My @klm flight Manchester>Prague was delayed on Wednesday, leaving me stuck in Amsterdam airport for over 7 hours. Now it looks like my return flight is going the same way 😭 Currently on the plane on the runway, 50 mins late and counting. No way I’m gonna make my connection
