Great book about attacks on ML systems by @ram_ssk @drhyrum “In AI, we overtrust […] In some respects, we ascribe failures as task-specific rather than system-wide while simultaneously ascribing capability to be system-wide rather than task-specific.” amazon.com/Not-Bug-But-St…

@ram_ssk @BKCHarvard @KendraSerra Loved hearing you both on this yesterday, and ordered the book right after the talk!
@ram_ssk @msftsecresponse @edsheeran But where are the rest of your pins?!
This was probably my favorite spot on the trail. We were on the face of Chikamin Ridge looking down Gold Creek Valley, a special part of the Cascades. We had already hiked 50 miles and knew we could do it and were nearing the end.
Special thanks to @MSwannMSFT for being an awesome hiking partner and conversationalist to take my mind off the trail.
As impressed as I was by the PCT thru-hikers, I was equally inspired by the hikers in their 50 & 60s as well as the parents hiking with teenage kids.
Pack weight generally should be no more than 20% of your body weight. I overestimated food. Despite burning tons of calories I was not as hungry as I expected to be. Carrying enough water was critical with the terrain and limited water sources.
Some observations: The hikes were long and hard. 14-18 miles per day with plenty of elevation gain/loss. It takes a few weeks for your body to adapt to the trail and we were only on there for 5 days. Conversation with @MSwannMSFT made the miles go by. Food was a frequent topic😀
We also heard about Karel Sabbe. He was setting a speed record on the PCT. It normally takes 6 months and he completed the California portion of the hike in 30 days🤩. Here he is passing us.
