    I came to this ML class to give a guest lecture but I ended up learning more than teaching and I wished I had attended the entire thing - it's awesome that @josh_tobin_ is putting it online - strongly recommend checking it out course.fullstackdeeplearning.com

    I recognize that I'm not the target demographic for Gartner, but this magic quadrant report on Data Science And Machine Learning Platforms is objectively batshit crazy from any business's perspective. gartner.com/doc/reprints?i…

    “Play is the equivalent of pre-training for RL agents. Kids don't get scored, there's no reward or feedback, they just play. We can formalize this in our robots – that’s the RL equivalent of pre-training – it has to be reward free.” – @pabbeel ▶️ wandb.ai/wandb_fc/gradi…
