What could happen to European societies, including the one I live in, if current AI impact trends continue under different labor-market scenarios? Everyone has an opinion, but what do economists say? This post organizes economists’ views on AI and work…
Automate a Causal Inference Python Repo from Scratch with Augment Code If you’ve ever wanted to build a clean Python repository for implementing methods from Causal Inference for the Brave and True but didn’t want to do all the setup…
Here is how you can call OpenAI’s ChatGPT API, given that you have an API key. Follow these instructions to get one. import openai openai.api_key = 'FILL IN YOUR OWN' openai.ChatCompletion.create( model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful…
Yes, this is clearly nonsense. Sorting is not a hard problem and standard algorithms such as quicksort and mergesort have O(x^2) and O(n log(n)) complexity. But let me scratch this itch of sorting numbers using an evolutionary algorithm, specifically Covariance…
The aim is to produce a plot like this. The orange line is your data, the green line is the upper "bollinger" band, the blue line is the lower "bollinger" band. The red dots indicate where your data is either…
I’m interested in object detection and other computer vision tasks. For example, I’m working on a teddy-bear detector with my son. So, how do you quickly download images for a certain category? You can use this approach that I learned…
Here is how to sample from a softmax probability vector at different temperatures. import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib as mpl import seaborn as sns mpl.rcParams[‘figure.dpi’]= 144 trials = 1000 softmax = [0.1, 0.3, 0.6] def…
I have adapted an example neural net written in Python to illustrate how the back-propagation algorithm works on a small toy example. My modifications include printing, a learning rate and using the leaky ReLU activation function instead of sigmoid. import…
I work in the ad tech industry, which means that I track people online for a living. Mainly, I do it because the industry has interesting computer science problems and because the job pays well. I will not defend ad…
