Replying to @AirbnbHelp
@AirbnbHelp Month-long stay, unit uninhabitable at check-in — broken gas stove control (safety) + not cleaned. Reported w/ photos, host acknowledged it. Waiting 50+ min for a promised supervisor in-app, family displaced tonight. Please escalate — case is in my app messages.

@AirbnbHelp: a Senior Manager took it over, called it urgent, then went silent a day and a half, no reply to my follow-ups. Family still displaced in a hotel ($860 out of pocket) after the host’s unit failed a safety check. I need a response today

@AirbnbHelp Over an hour with no response, family displaced from an uninhabitable unit with a gas stove safety defect the host acknowledged. Nowhere to sleep tonight. Booking a hotel myself now since Airbnb hasn’t rebooked or replied — will be seeking reimbursement + refund.

I’m very excited to share our work on Gemini today! Gemini is a family of multimodal models that demonstrate really strong capabilities across the image, audio, video, and text domains. Our most-capable model, Gemini Ultra, advances the state of the art in 30 of 32 benchmarks, including 10 of 12 popular text and reasoning benchmarks, 9 of 9 image understanding benchmarks, 6 of 6 video understanding benchmarks, and 5 of 5 speech recognition and speech translation benchmarks. Gemini Ultra is the first model to achieve human-expert performance on MMLU across 57 subjects with a score above 90%. It also achieves a new state-of-the-art score of 62.4% on the new MMMU multimodal reasoning benchmark, outperforming the previous best model by more than 5 percentage points. Gemini was built by an awesome team of people from @GoogleDeepMind, @GoogleResearch, and elsewhere at @Google, and is one of the largest science and engineering efforts we’ve ever undertaken. As one of the two overall technical leads of the Gemini effort, along with my colleague @OriolVinyalsML, I am incredibly proud of the whole team, and we’re so excited to be sharing our work with you today! There’s quite a lot of different material about Gemini available, starting with: Main blog post: blog.google/technology/ai/go… 60-page technical report authored by th Gemini Team: deepmind.google/gemini/gemin… In this thread, I’ll walk you through some of the highlights.

Is scaling your ML experiments really that easy? I have summarized weeks of learning and experimenting with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and SageMaker in a one-hour video and 7 steps GitHub tutorial. #machinelearning #ml #tensorflow #cloud #aws #sagemaker github.com/fpgdubost/sagemak…

Hey everyone, I will give a talk on explainable #ML and #medical #computervision at the #ISACT autumn school this November (isact.cogsy.de/) in Orlando, Florida. Hope to see you there, the program looks really cool. Definitely a nice event for graduate students and #PhDs!

As a postdoc, I spend 70% of my income on rent alone. I am often not able to afford clothes and groceries without putting more on my credit card. I do not know what is going to happen with student loans kick back into repayment. Postdocs are struggling in CA. @UAW5810

Scrutinazing the past as never before! Very exciting! #Webb #telescope
It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field. Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages

There is one big reason we love the logarithm function in machine learning. Logarithms help us reduce complexity by turning multiplication into addition. You might not know it, but they are behind a lot of things in machine learning. ↓ Here is the entire story. ↓
