I really like this definition of KL Divergence I use in the math review for my course. It highlights that we can measure the similarity between two distributions by understanding how much information we lose when approximating one distribution with the other.
I don’t have a call to action or a solution. I think for me rn, the “solution” is to make time (mostly in personal time but also at work) to build manually. My personal AI usage is super low now, because I want to build, struggle, and be more hands on.
I have convinced 4 of my friends to start Dungeon Crawler Carl this month 😈 Im re-reading it with them. I’m feeling emboldened so if I start bullying you to read DCC, this is why.
Whenever I’m having a stressful day I just think about Caleb Hearon pretending to sitting down while already sitting down.
You’re not the first person to tell me this and I think you’re all trying to trick me 🕷️
A new BOMBshell has entered the villa 🥰 Literally any time I watch Love Island all I can think about is how badly they need a villa corgi (I have a volunteer 👀)
One devious thing generative ai (as a field) did is get people to think ALL “ai” is LLMs Huge difference between LLMs and a specific-purpose predictive NN.
CPAs are rates not costs (despite the name). Perhaps this is the most obvious thing ever, but a quick blog about this here! (Don't look too closely at the blog, i just set it up👀) chelseaparlett.github.io/posts/2026-0...

Had a wonderful time at ❄️ Snowflake Conference this week but more IMPORTANTLY, got to add another California library card to my collection😎📚 AND got to take public transportation to get it 🚊 Favorite thing to do when traveling in California (as a resident).
I’m not a violent person, but sometimes…people annoy me ✨just enough✨ for me to tell Nova (my corgi) that should she ever be in the presence of their exposed ankles, she should feel free to nip at them😇🙂↕️
Best line from GC, BWR, NW Princess Donut in Parade of Horribles 😂
well well well. revisited the doc today and even lower case it protests
My grandpa: “I have found that the only way to goad busy numerical analysts into action is to claim that a subroutine is infallible” 😂 I guess the whole “the quickest way to get an answer is to post an incorrect on on the internet” was true even pre-internet 💀
Have you ever thought “this horror book doesn’t have enough statistics in it?” 🤔 Then have i got a book for you! Statistical, absurdist, horrific, and a little gay😚👌 this was a fun read. www.goodreads.com/en/book/show...
