"Disentanglement of Latent Representations via Sparse Causal Interventions. (arXiv:2302.00869v1 [cs.LG])" — A new method for disentanglement inspired by causal dynamics that combines causality theory with vector-quantized variational autoencoders where the model considers the quantized vectors as causal variables and links them in a causal graph.

CatGPT uncovered! Amongst his top sitting spots.

The next time you use any navigation device, software or Google Maps thank Dr. Gladys West. Her contributions to the mathematical modeling of the shape of Earth, and her work on the development of the satellite models that were eventually incorporated into  the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. #BlackMastodon #BlackHistoryMonth

On the Fediverse you definitely get more engagement, however, some of that engagement is rather weird 😛

Just over the last 24 hours, I’ve seen at least three such engagements where people make cryptic, drive-by-remarks which either misunderstand the original post, or is completely off the point.

Since I’ve had very little engagement with people I didn’t follow on Twitter, I don’t know if this is normal or not. But it seems a little weird to me …

The one personal engagement of the ones I mentioned above was my wife getting a reply about an art project she was doing. She was doing the art for something I was working on and she mentioned it was at my request. She also mentioned that she was using a particular type of brush. She gets a response saying that she shouldn’t be dictated to as to what type of brush she uses …

We were both mystified since she didn’t say she was using the brushes at my request, nor at anybody else’s. So why the comment? Just poor reading skills? Jumping to conculsions? Or just the need to insert yourself into other people’s lives right or wrong? 😛

I have no idea … (Of course, as a disclaimer, these interactions are the exception. Most interactions here on the Fediverse have been really great and I do like being here way more than Twitter …)

The feeling of being in a hollow tree is like being tucked up in a living bed

#Tech #layoffs are not fun. If anyone is looking for a #job in tech, ProductHunt has listed a few openings at various companies.

Also Automattic is hiring as well.

Yes, I am still upset with various companies laying off tens of thousands of workers & then doing stock buybacks worth billions of dollars! 😡

Guten Morgen #mastodon

Am #TravelThursday (und irgendwie auch #ThrowbackThursday) gibt es ein Bild aus dem beschaulichen #Huelgoat in der #Bretagne.

#Huelgoat is a picturesque little town in #brittany which lies near an enchanted forest. It is truly magical 🧙‍♂️and a heaven for #mosstodon fans!

There's a specific grant or fellowship for everything, so where is the one for a middle-aged retired military PhD candidate in Japanese/military history, staring at the end of his funding, with teenage kids who have Type 1 Diabetes? Asking for a friend.
