How Google is helping developers get better answers from AI
Today’s guest is Logan Kilpatrick, a senior product manager at Google, who tells Ben about his journey from software engineering to machine learning to product management, all with an emphasis on reducing developer friction. They talk through the challenges of non-determinism in AI models and how Google is addressing these
Read moreMoments with Laplace
This is a quick note to mention a connection between two recent posts, namely today’s post about moments and post from a few days ago about the Laplace transform. Let f(t) be a function on [0, ∞) and F(s) be the Laplace transform of f(t). Then the nth moment of f, is

Sometimes a good ol’ list is what we need. I know, I know, this is forever true. But as my friend Dave is wont to say: eliminate nuance. The world doesn’t need nuance on if you should label your inputs by matching the for attribute of the label with the
Read moreThe impossible puzzle
It’s fascinating that there’s such a thing as the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship. The winning team of the two-person thousand-piece puzzle round can assemble a Ravensburger puzzle in less than an hour—that’s about 3 -1/2 seconds per piece. It makes you wonder, how could you measure the hardness of a

An update to the research that the User Experience team is running over the next quarter.
Read moreWhen do moments determine a function?
The use of the word “moment” in mathematics is related to its use in physics, as in moment arm or moment of inertia. For a non-negative integer n, the nth moment of a function f is the integral of xn over the function’s domain. Uniqueness If two continuous functions f
