I was interviewed for this piece in The Hill about the Christchurch massacre and tech’s role in it.

My article on the Proud Boys for PRA.

It’s been too long since the last recap! I’ve been super busy. I’ll try to compress three weeks into this one post, and apologies if it runs a little long. ...

Productionizing machine learning/AI/data science is a challenge. Not only are the outputs of machine-learning algorithms often compiled artifacts that need to be incorporated into existing production services, the languages and techniques used to develop these models are usually very different than those used in building the actual service. In this post, I want to explore how the degrees of freedom in versioning machine learning systems poses a unique challenge. I'll identify four key axes on which machine learning systems have a notion of version, along with some brief recommendations for how to simplify this a bit. ...

This week was wild! I had settled in for a nice week of getting some progress done on various work, extracurricular, and life things, and instead I ended up traveling to Köln on very short notice for half of the week.
