@adamrutherford.bsky.social on eugenics. Shocking how widespread these views are. Incredible that this isn’t known more widely. Gives me shivers! Foundations of the teachings and communications in genetics are built on pseudo science, perpetuating a certain political ideologies. Scary stuff

Followed by Tim Spector (founder of Zoe Health amongst other things. Rattled off 6 principles for nutrition. I think it was: 30 plants a week. More legumes less meat. Eat the rainbow. Stop late snacking. More fermented foods. High quality food. Won’t see me arguing against that

Hanna Foerster telling us about “wiggle sign recovery” 🪱 in the context of cryptographic model extraction. Some neurons harder than others (ones with close neighbours). Conclusion :Currently feasible on small models at the moment

Israel Mason-Williams giving a talk on knowledge distillation from a functional perspective. Does distillation lead to models with similar representation spaces, actually transferring knowledge, and doing so efficiently? Answer often no!

@mediatek.bsky.social again, this time on RL. Starts with kernel methods -> kernel based bandits (BO) with UCB-> RL. RL just less control. Shows that you can use UCB for RL too with dynamic programming: KUCB-RL. Result is no regret algo. Downside is need to have a fixed window size

Conditional diffusion models for PDE modelling. Using conditional score not ideal as your need to retrain for every conditioner. Trick is to separate out into a reconstruction guidance and prior term and lean autoregressively
