You know what, I’ve been pretty quiet on here since I started working on a PhD focusing on the computational reliability, robustness and safety of ML-enabled computer vision systems…But I gotta say: this is troubling. thetimes.co.uk/article/how-ne…

And just like that it’s July 1st and the heat is switched on in my apt because the thermostat went below 58 deg. SF is just lovely!

The Yelp Economic Average Annual report is out! Super proud of what the team accomplished this year, and lots of useful/important Y/Y analysis included. Check it out here: yelpeconomicaverage.com/yea-q4-2020.ht…

For all of the wonderful changes that parenthood brings the one thing that I can’t stand: all of the for and while loops I’ve left open and all of the unfinished function defs along the way. This keeps me up at night.
