Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 08/11/2025Mathematical breakthrough of the year: Financial Times finally calculating the normalizing constant of the uniform distribution over ALL outcomes. 0120
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 10/10/2025When I applied to PhDs, I could derive the E-M algo after 5 yrs of uni and I felt I stood out. Many applicants didn’t do much ML before. This year, Miranda, barely out of high school starts her undergraduate with a NeurIPS spotlight, two AI olympiad medals, having bern to EEML 2x plus AI retreat 😨 0141

Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 21/07/2025Arrived in Sarajevo for @eemlcommunity.bsky.social Located in a narrow valley, it’s an ideal setting to get the momentum going in my deep learning talk later. I’m keen to explore beyond the hotel coffee though which, one assumes, is carefully curated to highlight floral notes of a morning cigarette 060
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 09/07/2025There once was a good man called Frederik He landed a sweet job in Limerick For fifty-six grand He would teach on command "Entschuldigung", "Tschüss" and "Ich liebe dich" 0100
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 09/07/2025In this definition, do you assume that all y in the support of mu is semantically compatible? Isn't it sufficient for a model to produce any one of possible ys? (Say x is a proposition, y is a proof). In fact, what's the point of having mu, rather than just a binary relation R(x,y)? 100
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 08/07/2025Been awesome to meet @number10cat.bsky.social earlier today! My hero, the only constant among all the turmoil. Having served under 6 prime ministers, Olympics, Brexit. Loyal to no one, doesn’t give a fur ball about anything: the perfect role model for gen Z. 2334
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 18/05/2025Trivia nugget about the new Romanian president: not only has he competed in the international math olympiad (IMO), he came absolute first twice with perfect 42/42 marks. A feat achieved by only about 30 students ever. 1325
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 05/05/2025I've started mostly using Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental) but I'm seeing failure modes that I assumed have been ironed out years ago: when asking it to reformat some text as a table, at some point it switches topic entirely. Here, it starts talking about a 1611 document from the Archives of Manila? 250

Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 15/04/2025Behold the 'EU consortium' action plan for catching up on AI. Step 1: create beurocratic overhead before any work is done. Step 2: involve at least 5-10 mediocre sites pre-diluting talent density before any talent is present in any meaningful concentration. Step 3: Write a bunch of reports. 2120
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 11/04/2025Looks like investors are rushing to safe assets like gold and eggs. 020
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 05/04/2025I am announcing new reciprocal paper rejection probabilities. It will target researchers with the most unfair citation practices who don’t cite me as many times as I cite them. Thomas and Cover have been exploiting me for years! 2800
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 18/03/2025Why do these photos from Russia look like VHS stills from from 90s comedy sketches? 050
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 06/03/2025I wish I could pay $20,000 to my PhD-level ...*checks notes*... PhD students. 0150
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 05/03/2025I created a notebooklm on software safety standards and accidentally added a paper on modeling fish feeding behaviour. The results - as you might guess - were great, if somewhat confusing. 020
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 17/02/2025What the actual… is this meant to be a joke? I thought BMJ is a serious journal 2220
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 10/02/2025Difficult choice to make. Pros and cons for each option? 0100
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 03/02/2025A bold €52 million (checks notes, yes million) move. No stopping of EU now. 1160
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 03/02/2025Also can't spell it without U.K. but I doubt he's moving here 010
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 02/01/2025The frustrating part of deck building games is that you spend the whole time building out a killer combo of cards, only to find it’s completely useless by the time you complete it. That’s what maths and CS undergraduates will feel in a few years’ time. 1170
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 12/12/2024Griffin Scholars (very smart Ukrainian undergraduates from top unis) are looking for research internships in maths or CS. (many of them can't return to Ukraine for the summer). If you can host them (we may help with funding), please fill out this form: ferenchuszar1.typeform.com/to/WjXursg3 0114

Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 09/12/2024This painting from 1894 by one of the highest valued Hungarian painters predicted side eyeing Chloe 130 years ago. It is coming up for auction this weekend (starting price around $400k) if you’re in the market for 19th century meme templates. viragjuditgaleria.hu/en/product/g... 050
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 26/11/2024We were studying the size of books in a series and came up with a maths problem: What is the largest subset of {1,…,n} which does not contain distinct a, b, c and d such that a+b = c+d. Feels related to Szemerédi’s theorem. Does this type of problem have a name? 000
Ferenc Huszár @inference.vc · 26/11/2024Migrating to BlueSky made me weirdly nostalgic of Twitter times. 1290
