Is this.....on purpose,

No.... just... no

Instead of preparing our IPAB workshop(=seminar) about any of my recent research topics, I decided to give a lecture about Linear Least Squares and all its subtleties (the four subspaces, weak solutions, pseudoinverse etc.). I feel this is something we never quite learn upfront,

*the logarithm

Fight the power <<< embrace the weakness,

Like if I were in 1i Cambridge I think you'd know,,,

The original Cambridge and sons,

In Cambridge for the week let's avoid each other up,

revise and resubmit,

We're pretending it does to ward off the existential dread,

It doesn't,

Well Linux just doesn't recognize any drivers so the "return false;" is blazingly fast,

Grant rejections

well....hope they gonna extend the review deadline a bit.

Is OpenReview down? I'm getting "upstream request timeout". This is AAAI Review deadline day...

"Want to access advanced AI features"? ok there's a "no" option but where's the "NO" option,

Haha it's helpful, but not looking for a solution, looking for a specific type of collaborator,

Natural language is an important one yes, but also through demonstrating what data you have, what you would like to be done on it with some simple visual aids, providing constraints from white papers, etc. the way one would have a conversation with a specialist that should tailor a solution to you.

This sounds like something between HCI and explainable AI. Also not looking for "ask the LLM" but rather more "generate and customize a solution for users which is intuitive, controllable, and meets their requirements",

Is there any (preferably UK-based) scientist (University or company, doesn't matter) who researches AI methods to mediate between high-skill and steep-learning-curve technology and users who might need it, but do not possess the skill, the understanding, or even the idea of what to look for?

I often find chatGPT to be more reliable than wikipedia. Especially for non-mathematical topics. History and politics Wikipedia should be avoided as they are 100% hallucinations and forced agenda,

Gen Z find "."s offensive,

I don't want to publicly "shame" authors. Recent papers from 2024/25 about automatically learned rigging from videos with geometry priors. There are several of these,

nuances and tensions...there was physical simulation involved...

I'll be at SIGGRAPH 2025! Please avoid me,

Nobody does computer graphics anymore,

I have students who are disappointed in me for not giving them 1024 A100 GPUs to do research,

There are papers like "we trained on 1024 A100 GPUs for 2048 days and got a 7 node skeleton that you could have done by hand in three minutes,",

Urban overfitters,

Everyone is busy submitting 25 papers to CVPR and reviewing 50 more with chatGPT,
