While being an endless source of weird errors and general technical incompetence #NBALeaguePass is at its best when you finally sit down to watch a game only to have the app itself proudly spoil the result for you as soon as you open it up.
Hi #NBALeaguePass team congrats on ruining opening night by not ensuring that the hide scores button affects the banner that appears in full screen view. That is so unbelievably sloppy. Fuck you.

It's always crazy to think that crypto has probably commanded more mind share amongst the general public than Machine Learning over the past decade - particularly given the contrast between how much has been accomplished in ML in that time vs how little the blockchain has yielded
As someone who has spent easily half a decade staring at AI arXiv each week and trying to articulate rate of progress, I still don't think people understand how rapidly the field is advancing. Benchmarks are becoming saturated at ever increasing rates.

Have to say that the Paper Visualisation feature at NeurIPS this year is a pretty great way to quickly find papers you might be interested in #NeurIPS2021
Ignored instincts & upgraded 2 "Google Drive for Desktop" which then tried 2 dload everything in Drive to my HD & tells me that if i switch 2 a less insane mode 39 Files "will remain on your Computer" & never sync
Now have 2 identify those files, have broken vow 2 never tweet etc

Every time i fire up Jupyterlab and foolishly try to figure out why it is finding/not finding various extensions in weird places hours of my life are lost with zero progress. The internal logic of its configuration/start-up process is...interesting.

Tools like @ConnectedPapers & @SemanticScholar are very exciting in what they deliver & promise in terms of automating the discovery of relevant scientific work - so important as ever-proliferating data begins 2 seriously challenge human ability 2 keep track of new developments

Weird but cool that Microsoft & Google release Python type checkers within days of each other. Not surprising OTOH given the growing importance of Python/ML & the pain of using it in larger codebases - feels similar to stuff that happened in Javascript with Typescript/Dart/Flow

Havent really closely followed React developments in awhile but the proposed Hooks API and the ability to use state with functional components looks awesome.

Once again, everything in the world of python package management is completely fucked. Everything.

Used to be such a huge fan of yarn - but ever since the move to beomce more deeply intergrated with lerna/workspaces etc its been plagued by bugs. anything to do with globally installed or native packages seems particularly broken :-(

Whenever constant negative press covfefe threatens to get me down - I always turn to this quote for inspiration. teapawt.net/realDonaldTrump/status…
This is the way the world ends - in ALL CAPS:
"SEE YOU IN HELL LOSERS, I'M LAUNCHING THE NUKES!" teapawt.net/realDonaldTrump/status…
Apparently the @realDonaldTrump team have managed to book @RealSirTomJones to sing at his inauguration:

Some random dude just asked if I was "The Backpacker Guy" (have 2 backpacks atm)
Will always wonder what would have happened if Id said yes
