I started my Doctor of Engineering this month. Here's a posting on my path and how I got here. It certainly wasn't a straight path.

The audio is even better! 🤦‍♂️

Seriously? Captchas are getting a bit ridiculous. Have we moved to where it's easier for computers to solve them than it is for humans defeating their entire purpose?

Just published the first release of the Alberta Framework on PyPI.

It’s a JAX-based toolkit designed for the "Alberta Plan" for AI research. Right now I'm focusing on Step 1: Meta-learned step-sizes.

As I begin my D.Eng research I'm starting with the foundations and working through the Alberta Plan steps one-by-one starting with meta-learning and online normalization.

I published a new technical post on my blog documenting a replication of Richard Sutton’s 1992 IDBD (Incremental Delta-Bar-Delta) algorithm.

Ghost - It's A Sin (Official Audio) YouTube video by Ghost

This is a great cover of It's a Sin and the video is classic. All the nostalgia of #win95 😍

Google also recently estimated that the median Gemini LLM app query produces a surprisingly low 0.03 grams of CO2 emissions), and uses less energy than watching 9 seconds of television.

" For example, many enterprise on-prem compute facilities use whatever power is available on the grid, which might include a mix of older, dirtier energy sources. Hyperscalers use far more renewable energy."

In the latest issue of "The Batch" Andrew Ng presents a good evidence-backed argument that consolidating data centres is better for the environment than our current practice of many companies hosting their own infrastructure.

Google Gemini Flaw Turns Calendar Invites Into Attack Vector The indirect prompt injection vulnerability allows an attacker to weaponize Google invites to circumvent privacy controls and access private data.

Prompt injection attacks are the new SQL injection attacks. Just on steroids.

The more things change the more they stay the same. What hasn’t changed is the golden rule of never trusting un-sanitized input from anything.

The goal: Healthcare applications of RL in alignment with the Alberta Plan.

Extremely excited to start this journey!

#RL #AlbertaPlan #DEng #AIresearch

Happy to share the next step in my academic journey: I’ve officially begun my Doctor of Engineering (D.Eng) at @umich.edu Dearborn campus.

My research focuses on #ReinforcementLearning guided by the Alberta Plan for AI Research. (1/2).

Canada-U.S. Cross-Border Surveillance Negotiations Raise Constitutional and Human Rights Whirlwind under U.S. CLOUD Act - The Citizen Lab Legal researchers Cynthia Khoo and Kate Robertson warn that a Canada-U.S. CLOUD agreement would extend the reach of U.S. law enforcement into Canada’s digital terrain to an unprecedented extent, and t...

The result? Direct-to-provider production orders that bypass sovereign gatekeeping.

Unless you own the keys (BYOK) or use purely Canadian-owned infra, you aren't protected.

#DataSovereignty #infosec #Cybersecurity

Great deep dive by @citizenlab.ca on this erosion: citizenlab.ca/research/can...

That law established that jurisdiction follows the corporation, not the dirt. If your provider is US-owned, the US government has legal reach into those "Canadian" servers, bypassing the transparent MLAT process.

The "Data Residency" myth in Canada is officially dead. 🇨🇦

For years, we’ve been told "servers in Toronto" means "protected by Canadian law." But residency is just a postal code; sovereignty is a technical status.
