Big news: we're launching a new course in <4 weeks. "From Deep Learning Foundations to Stable Diffusion". Bigger news: for this course, we're teaming up with @StabilityAI! AFAIK, this is the 1st course that covers every method used in Stable Diffusion. fast.ai/posts/part2-2022.htm…

It has been an amazing day and evening with the @javaBin crew gathered for a JavaZone workshop. A lot of progress is made and the conference is well under way. We all look really forward to welcome you in December!

The human psyche has weather. When we feel bad about the present and future, it’s cloudy in our psyche. When our psyche is cloudy, it colors everything. Things feel gloomier, angrier, scarier, and more depressing. This of course has all kinds of negative effects on behavior. /1

Today is a good day. It’s easier to be a parent this morning. Character MATTERS. Being a good person MATTERS. This is a big deal. It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around. Today is a good day. #PresidentBiden #VotersDecided

The Czech Republic went from zero mask usage to 100% in 10 days, and in the process they halted the growth of new covid-19 cases. How? They made their own! They didn't need government help; they did it themselves. It's time for #masks4all. See why: youtu.be/BoDwXwZXsDI 1/

As data scientists, we (with @math_rachel) have done our best to look at the data around covid-19, and what it means to you and your community. Our view: it is appropriate to be very concerned, and significantly change your lifestyle, right now. 1/13 fast.ai/2020/03/09/coronavir…

1/ Many of you ask me why I take the COVID-19 outbreak so seriously. Current numbers of cases and deaths are *not* why. 👇 A thread on why I’m worried and what I do personally in this situation.

The surgeon’s hand is visibly trembling. The scalpel’s blade glints as it catches the light. I’m a medical student, scrubbed in on the case. I’m not going into surgery, I know that. I’m here for him. He glances at me and notices I’m holding my breath. He grins. “Relax.” 1/

Curious about software used for climate modelling and mitigation. Are there open source projects with any traction? Are the software needs in climate research and development met?

Data engineering is not exempt from problems caused by time, but also has a slew of unique problems. At #bbuzz @lalleal will enumerate the time-related problems that we have seen cause trouble in data processing system components. Full abstract here: berlinbuzzwords.de/19/sessio…

50 years ago today: Doug Engelbart conducts The Mother of All Demos. Firsts include: mouse, GUI, database, hypertext, video conference and more. His pioneering work directly led to the efforts at Xerox PARC and the creation of personal computing. youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdh…

Replying to @skogenlund
@NHOkristin at #ThinkOslo Everybody talks about data like the new oil. It is not the data that creates value in itself. It is our ability to collect, structure, process and interpret big data quickly, which creates value. That's the new oil.

Want progress bars in a notebook that also show a training graph updating in real time? And console support too? With our new `fastprogress` library by @GuggerSylvain it's easy :) github.com/fastai/fastprogre…

Proud to be launching "Introduction to Machine Learning for Coders" today. If you're looking for a modern, code-first, opinionated introduction to machine learning, I think you might like this. fast.ai/2018/09/26/ml-launch…
