On the challenges of producing reliable insights and avoiding common mistakes The post TDS Newsletter: How to Design Evals, Metrics, and KPIs That Work appeared first on Towards Data Science.
El Gato Malo (@boriquagato) wrote a piece the other day about modern pop/rock music, saying in part: there is nothing because music is product. it became pure product, produced by product managers with hand picked performers chosen to dance and vamp and papered over with autotune and post-production. it’s music by committee and front folks by casting call. damn near all of them are just stage performers. all the money is in concert tours now. it’s about flying […]

The European Commission (EC) is considering a “Digital Omnibus” package that would substantially rewrite EU privacy law, particularly the landmark General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It’s not a done deal, and it shouldn’t be. The GDPR is the most comprehensive model for privacy legislation around the world. While it is far from perfect and suffers from uneven enforcement, complexities and certain administrative burdens, the omnibus package is full of bad and confusing ideas that, on balance, will significantly […]
Coding with large language models (LLMs) holds huge promise, but it also exposes some long-standing flaws in software: code that’s messy, hard to change safely, and often opaque about what’s really happening under the hood. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are charting a more “modular” path ahead. Their new approach breaks systems into “concepts,” separate pieces of a system, each designed to do one job well, and “synchronizations,” explicit rules that describe exactly […]
Recently, Cato Scholar Colleen Hroncich penned a new blog post in response to recent New York Times reporting titled: America’s Children Are Unwell, Says NYT—School Choice Should be Part of the Solution. In the blog post, Hroncich states that: lead , Our place-based school system was established in the 1800s, when travel and communication were significantly limited. It may have made sense at the time. But we no longer face those limitations. And we know that what works for one […]
What comes after Transformers? Google Research is proposing a new way to give sequence models usable long term memory with Titans and MIRAS, while keeping training parallel and inference close to linear. Titans is a concrete architecture that adds a deep neural memory to a Transformer style backbone. MIRAS is a general framework that views most modern sequence models as instances of online optimization over an associative memory. Why Titans and MIRAS? Standard Transformers use attention over a […]
A robot searching for workers trapped in a partially collapsed mine shaft must rapidly generate a map of the scene and identify its location within that scene as it navigates the treacherous terrain. Researchers have recently started building powerful machine-learning models to perform this complex task using only images from the robot’s onboard cameras, but even the best models can only process a few images at a time. In a real-world disaster where every second counts, a search-and-rescue […]
Clark Packard and Stan Veuger The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to soon come to a decision in Learning Resources v. Trump, the case that will determine whether the tariffs that the second Trump administration has imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) pass statutory and constitutional muster. If President Donald Trump’s signature economic policy is struck down, the consequences will be significant: The administration may have to refund the roughly $100 billion in taxes that […]
