Build what you need and use what you build. This is a core philosophy of my research. It shifts the focus away from publishing “papers” to what really matters — impact. This thread unpacks why I think this is a successful approach to science. 1/10 Or see: perceiving-systems.blog/en/post/build-…
Literally, me writing my MS thesis with 1000 other deadlines while trying to have a semblance of a life. Distractions, yes, please.

That’s a big non-trivial lesson indeed.
I'm ecstatic to share that preorders are now open for the AI Snake Oil book! The book will be released on September 24, 2024. @random_walker and I have been working on this for the past two years, and we can't wait to share it with the world. Preorder: princeton.press/awecv19z
Very interesting response from a philosophy of language view to my argument about LLM's as cultural tools rather than agents. arxiv.org/abs/2401.04854 Original argument is here journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

A really intelligent and thought provoking article by @jessicadai_ "If we really are concerned about AI-induced catastrophe...we can’t rely on those who stand to gain the most from a future of widespread AI deployments." joinreboot.org/p/alignment?
I am disappointed but not surprised. A vote in my batch will throw up similar results. Folks who clear competitive exams have a survivor bias. They believe that if they can slog their way to better economic outcomes, why can't others. There are two major flaws in this argument

A very concise portrayal of the research done by this year's Nobel prize-winning economist Prof. Claudia Globin by @nytimes . The graphic says it all.
Summary: science thinking, writing, and doing are inseparable. Focus on story. Write early. Write a shitty first draft. And do yourself a favor: write it yourself. I promise that writing about your science will improve your science. 18/18
Thrilled to share that Karya is on the cover of the Time Magazine 🥰 time.com/6297403/india-…
When I look at one of my creations - ppts, docs, notes, etc. and immediately feel a sense of imposter hood, like How could I have made something so marvelous? Recently observed growth due to a shift in this perspective- If past me could, So can the present me. 🦾 PS: Subject 👇
Suddenly the transport ministry is running under loss, suddenly women are considered wealthy. Suddenly empathy is a big word. All because women get to travel free in buses. Lol, everytime women step out, I think it creates a wave of insecurity. I love it. I am here for it.
What are some areas of your life where you get compounding returns (i.e. exponential output) the more time you put into it?
At this moment, more than RCB’s loss, Bengaluru should be mourning at this haunting picture. The young woman didn’t deserve this city’s shit infrastructure. Nobody deserves this.
Love RL? Meet Leslie P. Kaelbling, who adapted the partially observable Markov decision process from operations research for application in artificial intelligence and robotics and developed RL-based programming tools for robot navigation.
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in STEM! Here is a poem I wrote two years ago: ira-zibbu.medium.com/to-the-daughte…
“A message can save someone’s life,” says Terdale, “and we see it happening almost every day.” How Indian health-care workers (ASHAs) use WhatsApp to save pregnant women:
The invigorating 3 day google research week concludes today. Learnt so much and got to interact with amazing researchers @ravi_iitm #manishjain @fooobar @mishumausam and @ashutosh. All thanks to the program chairs @partha_p_t , @jainprateek_ and rest of the wonderful organizers!
Attending the Google research week'23 starting today, great lineup of talks. Hoping to gain great insights on latest developments in ML research. Would be glad to chat about anything under the hood of RL, DL and CompNeuro! Thanks to the organizers @partha_p_t @divy93t

1. I worked my ass off during my undergraduate at a tier 3 college. This mostly involved memorization. A lot of time wasted. 2. I spent a year of my Masters being depressed. A lot of time wasted. 3. I spent most of my PhD being depressed and borderline suicidal. A lot of time…
Still coping with how I wasted my first 2 years at college doing nothing 🥲 My prime years, going to waste Rebounding now ofc, but it would be nice to have had that headstart 🫠 anyone relate? lol

Every time I try to opt out of automated facial recognition at airports, it's always a longer conversation than "I'd like to opt out." When we unilaterally deploy tech and force feed people, we crush user agency that should be at the heart of tech design.
