Thing I Like
My phone is the MVP of this international move. Between Corona Apps, calendars, internet access, and maps, it’s also great entertainment with all the podcasts I have to entertain me.
Hot off the Press
The last paper from my PhD was finally published by IEEE. It uses a self-supervised neural network to match 3D seismic volumes. Definitely the work I’m most proud of from my PhD work.
I published an experimental Youtube Short on websites that will teach you about machine learning.
Tidbits from the Web
Safiya Nygaards Boba shop takeover was weirdly educational and as always very entertaining.
In the Christmas issue I wrote about Matt Parkers mathematical Christmas tree and the tree got into Harvard!
Learner of things Mike Boyd spent a video rating all of his videos learning things and it’s inspirational and fun.
