 Welcome to the new episode of the TNW Podcast — the show where we discuss the latest developments in the European technology ecosystem and feature interviews with some of the most interesting people in the industry. In today’s episode, Andrii and Linnea talk about the benefits of having a domestic android, micromobility consolidation news in Europe, Elon Musk and Diablo IV, the randomness of coin tosses, and much more. In the interview section, we’re featuring a conversation with Anton…

Over more than 30 years, the Brian Jonestown Massacre have garnered a reputation like that of few other bands. The San Francisco group, led by Anton Newcombe, are known for their fecund creativity, violent volatility, chaos and magic – all of which are woven together to create music spanning psychedelia, shoegaze, country and garage rock. I have joined them for part of their UK tour. “Stop putting off a genius, you cocksucking dickhead!” yells Newcombe to a heckler during one of many guitar-tuning breaks in Brighton. “Go…

Advanced numerical embeddings for better performancePhoto by Pawel Czerwinski on UnsplashThis is the third part in my exploration of Transformers for Tabular Data.In the Part 2 I’ve described linear numerical embeddings and how they are used in the FT-Transformer model. This post is going to explore more complex versions of the numerical embeddings, so if you haven’t read the previous part, I highly recommend starting there and returning to this post afterwards.FT-Transformer.

Former president Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at Minden-Tahoe Airport on October 8, 2022 in Minden, Nevada.Photo: Justin Sullivan (Getty Images)Vox has a new article on Curtis Yarvin, a software engineer and far-right blogger who’s made friends with powerful supporters of former president Donald Trump, and it’s filled with horrifying ideas on how Trump should wield power if he ever takes back the White House. But there’s one idea that seems like it’s stolen from the absolute worst corners of Silicon Valley:…

Deep learning for tabular data with FT-TransformerPhoto by Nick Hillier on UnsplashIn the previous post about TabTransformer I’ve described how the model works and how it can be applied to your data. This post will build on it, so if you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend starting there and returning to this post afterwards.TabTransformer was shown to outperform traditional multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) and came close to the performance of Gradient Boosted Trees (GBTs) on some datasets. However, there is one…

Anton Wilen / Bloomberg: SoftBank, which bought a 10% stake in Twilio competitor Sinch in November 2020, sells its remaining 5% stake; Sinch's stock has fallen 93% since September 2021 — Japanese investor SoftBank Group Corp has sold its entire stake in Sinch AB following a share price collapse of more than 90% in the Swedish cloud-based platform provider.

Making sense of out TabTransformer and learning to apply itPhoto by Samule Sun on UnsplashToday, Transformers are the key blocks in most of the state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV) architectures. Nevertheless, tabular domain is still mainly dominated by gradient boosted decision trees (GBDT), so it was only logical that someone will attempt to bridge this gap. The first transformer-based models was introduced by Huang et al. (2020) in their TabTransformer: Tabular Data Modeling Using…

Anton Shilov / AnandTech: TSMC details its roadmap: a high volume 3nm chip production starting in H2 2022, with five 3nm-class N3 node iterations, and 2nm-class N2 introduction in 2025 — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. on Thursday kicked off its 2022 TSMC Technology Symposium, where the company traditionally shares … Anton Shilov / AnandTech: TSMC details its roadmap: a high volume 3nm chip production starting in H2 2022, with five 3nm-class N3 node iterations, and 2nm-class N2…
