I've just discovered that baby owls sleep face down like THIS because their heads are too heavy. Also, I don't think I've seen owl legs before....

Using 4 colors to make a painting that looks as if it was shot from a camera

An image of @BarackObama getting upsampled into a white guy is floating around because it illustrates racial bias in #MachineLearning. Just in case you think it isn't real, it is, I got the code working locally. Here is me, and here is @AOC.

Daughter and I just had a few games of Fortnite together - we trash talk and laugh at how silly I am. I don’t get along with my dad, I don’t celebrate Father’s Day for me or him - just another day. But we gamed and laughed. I know how lucky I am to be her dad all the time.

My new game pitch: It's a regular FPS, but all the guns are floppy.

Trump rallygoer sans mask: “We had a friend who died from Covid, and his son was on a ventilator, he almost died. So we know it’s real, but then at the same time you don’t know what the facts are, you feel like maybe one side plays it one way and the other side plays it another.”

Back in my day you couldn't just ask someone out on a date. You had to buy the house across the bay from them, throw a bunch of parties, and just kind of hope they'd show up.

I can barely hear anyone speaking with all these masks. I never realized how much the context of lips moving added to “hearing” people. I can only begin to imagine how hard this must be for the hearing-impaired right now.

I can't get over how perfect this is. If you set out to design an easy-to-understand example of how machine learning models encode racial bias, I don't think you could do better.

Weird that I haven’t bought an avocado toast in more than three months and I still don’t have the down payment for a house.
