In machine learning, few ideas have managed to unify complexity the way the periodic table once did for chemistry. Now, researchers from MIT, Microsoft, and Google are attempting to do just that with I-Con, or Information Contrastive Learning. The idea is deceptively simple: represent most machine learning algorithmsclassification, regression, clustering, and even large language modelsas special cases of one general principle: learning the relationships between data points.

Your employer pays you to spend more time with them than you spend with your family and/or loved ones. Your employer is one of the biggest influencers on your mental well-being. Your employer can and will replace you in a heartbeat if absolutely necessary. Let me be explicitly clear, your employer isnt your family and they are not your friend. They pay you to do a job and in return your only responsibility is to do that job well.
