One of the things I did in Vancouver was hangout with Joseph and Israel.

Joseph in the 90s has listed his company on Nasdaq, probably the first and only Ethiopian and then later sold the company for more than $100m.

You guys know Aman, a great researcher and Chapa CTO, Israel.

Is AGI possible in the next 200 years?

This is a poster session and this is almost 1/10 of the posters there. Just to give you a glimpse.


Almost 15k people attended Neurips and everyone is working on different areas of ML, what's the ultimate goal of their work and in 25 or 50 years most of the tasks they are trying to do will be solved, they will solve it, i think.

Now all those little things combined, pose estimation, inference time, better architectures, recognition, classification etc are just small pieces to really make AI!?

Oh and academia isn't dead but not all the papers here are relevant 😂

"For those unfamiliar, an LSTM is the thing that poor deep learning researchers did before transformers, and it's basically a ResNet, but rotated 90 degrees"

I need this on a shirt, simply the most artistic way of talking about DL

I had so much fun being on Gugut Podcast. The hosts were very kind and relatable. On and off camera I had so much fun talking to the hosts.

I loved the fact that it was an open ended podcast where we talk about early life, tech, hobbies, personal life, faith and more.

Enjoy! ❤️

I feel like writing a good technical blog, what should I write about?

lol i found with this website you can access member only content on medium (and medium like websites e.g. towardsdatascience) https://freedium.cfd/

This has to be a big W of 2024 for me.

AlphaGo The Movie | Deepmind

Just rewatched it after a long time yesterday and I recommend you all to watch it. It's one of the achivments we saw in our generation.

AlphaGo combines deep learning and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to master Go. It uses a policy network to predict the next move and a value network to estimate the probability of winning from a board state. MCTS improves the decision-making by exploring move sequences guided by these networks. It's trained on human games and refined in self-play with reinforcement learning.

If Man United win today,🤯 ......, also open for your score predictions for tonight.


Let's go United

So we had secret Santa with me and other 30 people.


I got this unique piece of research like writing from Unique (@Austererie). This really made me laugh and she is so creative with it, it's fun go check it out and also join her channel.


I was the secret santa of @storyOfXcode and he had issues with a credit card so I decided to give him a gift Visa card.


Overall it was fun, next year I'll just wrap a 🐑 and send it to the person.
