Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Makes a lot of sense! I should probably stop wondering about this and just put out some interesting academic content then! 120
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Does anybody know the level of interaction a general account on BlueSky has? Despite over 1000 followers I feel it's a lot lower than many other social platforms. Do you think this is a result of a large influx of non 'organic' growth? #meta #bluesky #askbluesky 340
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Is there a way to shift my doomscrolling from Instagram to Bluesky? I know I'd end up more informed and positive from 10 minutes on here than on insta. Maybe some good suggestions of random fun accounts to follow? 010
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Wallace and Grommit serving up some great PSA's on AI and automation. Doesn't just seem to play out the AI bad trope and shows to a general audience how it can go wrong quickly. 000
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Starting to debate getting dual providers but can't quite justify the cost. Starlink as back up seems a little steep for redundancy too! So I'm at the whim of virgin media for now.... 100
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Thank you! Still need to put up my whiteboard! Currently in storage 010
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Yep was very conscious about lighting so put a Philips hue ceiling light in for adjustability and a SAD lamp to fend off the feels 020
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Adorable! But sadly not with my horrific allergies... However a little lamp for the tortoise to come bask under could work 120
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 04/12/2024I've built my own desk at a nice sitting height, but was thinking of adding an optional standing riser! And a full teapot and biscuit tin is non optional 020
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Just starting to build out my home office to have a nice space to push through the end of my PhD. What's your number one item to have in it? Can be anything from plants to monitors! 🌊🧪 #phdlife #academia 662
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 04/12/2024All the different kits and bikes before the official change over in the new year! Love seeing the mixes of the new signings integration. 020
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Unfortunately I have broken the illusion of childhood that one can have snacks with no prior work... It has ruined me 010
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Routine is currently, sit and look at my outline in bullet points. Hate most of it, procrastination for the rest of the day 😂 100
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Great idea giving a talk about it! Might help me figure out the figures I actually want. 010
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Sits down to write paper... 6 months later. This paper hasn't written itself yet no matter how many times I ask nicely... What are your tips for breaking through writing block and pushing out your paper? Could really do with some advice from the academic community! 🧪🌊 11222

Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Our oceans aren't quiet and they're getting louder. A great paper on how important sound is in the ocean and how humans are impacting it. This is not only important for the biosphere but louder oceans make bad actors harder to detect. 🧪 🌊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...science.orgThe soundscape of the Anthropocene oceanSound travels faster and farther in water than in air. Over evolutionary time, many marine organisms have come to rely on sound production, transmission, and reception for key aspects of their lives. ... 23110
Reposted by Ed ClarkEugene Vinitsky 🍒 @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Kind of a broken record here but proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/... is totally fascinating in that it postulates two underlying, measurable structures that you can use to assess if RL will be easy or hard in an environment 815029
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 23/11/2024For those doing lit reviews, be aware that Scopus can now search for pre prints as well! Great for getting visibility of what's on the horizon in your field. 🧪 141
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Do you have a link to the whale use index paper? I'm interested at how they account for detection bias. 100
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I've considered doing it but I use an acoustic propagation model in my environment which I think I'd also have to re-write. Wonder if an llm would have a go at refactoring into being jax compatible 100
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Thank you for this starter pack! Would you be able to add me to it? I look at how we deploy and manage ocean sensing platforms for passive acoustic monitoring 100
Reposted by Ed ClarkRebecca Henderson @rebecca-henderson.bsky.social · 20/11/2024The beginnings of a starter pack for UK-based PhD students. Please let me know if you'd like to be added! go.bsky.app/8Uj4vn7 211

I use: - Custom gymnasium env - Stable baselines 3 - RL library - PPO - Algorithm - NatureCNN - Model network - wandb - run tracking - wandb sweeps - hyper-parameter optimization - tensorboard - offline tracking #AI #DRL #RL #Reinforcementlearning 2120

Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Yesterday's wintery work views. Having a large window right next to the desk has helped massively with fighting back the SAD this year. Take this post as your reminder to get some sunshine and fresh air today. 020
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Another must read for reinforcement learning.

Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 21/11/2024You've said multiple times Trump is a threat to democracy. What are the Dems and other adults in Congress/Senate doing to ensure the peaceful transfer of power in 4 years time? (A nervous Brit) 000
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Ah yes I have also had this happen 😂 would be nice to have a flag for pause sweep agent if the train function throws an error. 010
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 21/11/2024I'm going crazy! I meant Optuna... Yeah I like it's ability to run locally and the pruning seems better but wandb is just so user friendly. I've never had wandb crash like that though running a sweep! What's your RL setup? 120
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 21/11/2024One of my favourite DRL papers. OpenAI five, it highlights just how much compute and time is needed for training complex capable agents. Remember this is learning in a human coded environment . Training agents for real world scenarios is even more challenging. 🧪 #RL #AI arxiv.org/abs/1912.06680arxiv.orgDota 2 with Large Scale Deep Reinforcement LearningOn April 13th, 2019, OpenAI Five became the first AI system to defeat the world champions at an esports game.

Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Brilliant thank you! My PhD work uses RL to learn in complex ocean environments. Great to find others publishing in this area on here 110
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 21/11/2024I wouldn't go that far. What medicine can do has advanced to the point where we now have to make tough decisions on what we treat. Moving from a world where we treat everything we can to what is reasonable is a massive shift in mindset for the general public to come to terms with. 000
Ed Clark @clarkai.bsky.social · 21/11/2024The perception of doctors in the community has changed radically in the past decades. My grandfather was a GP and would receive fruit baskets at Christmas from grateful patients. Now few trainees want to become GPs and handle the management of patient expectations with chronic underfunding. 120
