Please welcome Chris Ford @ctford to our panel of Speakers for @Lambda_World 24! Chris will hilariously decode birdsong into Clojure, proving once and for all that even birds are better coders than us! #Clojure #FunctionalProgramming

"Can everyone read the code on the slide?" "Not really." <enlarges text> "Better?" "No, it's still Scala."

We've had the best time over the last week. Running our famous unconference - uncodebar - in Barcelona and Glasgow. We absolutely loved meeting and learning from you all ❤️❤️❤️

This is also why @huggingface does not have an "ethical AI team". It's critical IMO to build up a coalition of people across the company, horizontally, who want to think about ethical AI issues + apply in their teams.

Lamento profundamente el fallecimiento de Jesús Ociel Baena. Perdimos una voz potente por la igualdad y los derechos de las personas LGBTI+. Le magistrade luchó con arrojo por una sociedad más igualitaria, en la que la diversidad sea celebrada y todes puedan encontrar la felicidad. Me uno a la exigencia porque se esclarezcan los hechos a cabalidad. #JusticiaparaOciel

Given my post on the importance of open source AI - swardley.medium.com/why-open… ... I'm loving the definition of an AI system by OECD, particularly as the diagram makes clear that data is part of the system - linkedin.com/posts/oecd-ai_o… - and that means training data

Even numbered product versions are better than odd numbered product versions, the opposite rule than for children.

I'm glad he managed to get through the crisis without harm to anyone.

This is one of those cases where the explanation is worse than the original problem. theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

The holiday was once about remembering the costs of war. The change in language around it is pervasive and pernicious.

@taylorswift13 just a thought, U should go in & re-record all the songs that U don’t own the masters on exactly how U did them but put brand new art & some kind of incentive so fans will no longer buy the old versions. I’d buy all of the new versions just to prove a point 💁🏼‍♀️

A good reason why "model transparency" isn't as meaningful as it seems. Give us ways of evaluating systems, don't bury us in details of how individual pieces function.

I'm appalled by how many otherwise decent people see nothing wrong with this mediaeval slaughter of a trapped and penned civilian population- even as both the IDF and the Biden administration say that the actual casualties are likely far higher than the 10,000+ dead posted by the the Gaza Health Authority. "Fistfights break out in bread lines. Residents wait hours for a gallon of brackish water that makes them sick. Scabies, diarrhea and respiratory infections rip through overcrowded shelters. And some families have to choose who eats” - ⁦Gaza @AP⁩ To obsess about Pro-Ceasefire protesters using a phrase "from the River to the Sea" that also exists in the Likud Founding Charter, and which has been used for half a century as the justification for a programme of illegal Israeli settlements which are now making a just peace almost impossible, but at the same time to remain completely sanguine, and silent, about the actual hour by hour, block by block massacre of innocent children, surely represents a total loss of all moral bearings.

Biggest misconceptions in AI: 1. Confusing skill and intelligence. They are orthogonal. General intelligence can be converted into skill at many tasks, but in reverse, you can achieve arbitrary levels of skill at arbitrary tasks without requiring any intelligence at all.

#AWS Lambda is improving the scaling behavior when processing data from Kafka Lambda is increasing the number of initial consumers, improving how quickly consumers scale up, and helping to ensure that consumers don’t scale down too quickly #serverless go.aws/473s63G

What we need is companies to be held to account to release the ingredient lists and "may contain traces of nuts" of AI systems.
