Na ja. Das ELT baut man ja nur, weil das Overwhelmingly Large Telescope (OWL) nicht sicher technisch umsetzbar war.

Heat map of travel efficiency, updated

“Now Scientific American has updated and re-released what it calls the “classic graphic” that shows that a human on a bicycle—able to coast, or freewheel, without pedaling—remains the world’s most energy effecient traveler.” @carltonreid.com on the re-release of the iconic graph in @forbes.com.

Nur wenn es zum Nachtisch Kinderschokolade gibt.

The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England hat zumindest ein Kapitel die Rolle der Frau und ist allgemein ein empfehlenswertes Buch.

Ja, beim Kochen, wie es laut Folge möglich sein sollte.

A model trained with a frequentist objective using i.i.d. observational train and validation data is almost surely converging to the non-causal model of the underlying data generating process. That is because using short cuts/spurious correlations leads to a lower loss than not, i.e. you are actually specifically incentivizing your model not to be causal. "Emergence" believers' core fallacy is the assumption the causal model would have the lowest error, and therefore better optimization would eventually converge to the causal model. The opposite is true - the best scoring model (per frequentist objective) is actually the one that is best at exploiting spurious correlations.

Beautifully succinct statement of the core problem with the blind application of statistical learning in AI!!

And we only need the whole freaking Earth to hold us down.

Isn't that simply a case of "the plural of anecdote is not data"?

Von Kriegen, Ängsten und gefährlichem Halbwissen Militärische Fragen als gestrig abzutun, während die eigene Sicherheit von Verbündeten garantiert wird – das war lange deutscher Usus. Doch die Zeiten sind vorbei, in denen wir uns einen solchen Luxus...

My latest piece for @internationalepolitik.de on the German debate on security and defence. I feel quite strongly about this one, so I hope you’ll read it.

Hi, I'm Jörg. I'm Head of AI for R&D at an automotive supplier. I'm particularly interested in human-in-the-loop AI systems and organizational change.

Same here. Categorization in an automotive R&D context.

Do the Health Benefits of Cycling Outweigh the Risks? Although from a societal point of view a modal shift from car to bicycle may have beneficial health effects due to decreased air pollution emissions, decreased greenhouse gas emissions, and increased ...

Despite the increased accident risk, cycling is expected to be a net health benefit: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...).
