Good Local Posts
- Google announced the first Machine Unlearning challenge: simple concepts like data deletion don't map well to complex models. I'll be interested to follow along with this area of research.
- Cool piece from Comet.ml on Working with Audio Data for Machine Learning in Python.
- StreetEasy did a summary of their sale-to-list price ratio, which they use to track market competitiveness.
Miscellany
- Douglas Hofstadter (of Gödel, Escher, Bach fame) wrote about someone using GPT-4 instead of asking him a question.
- RIP National Geographic :-(
