Diffusion is taking the world of generative machine learning by storm and there are two MIT courses on diffusion models that were just released publicly:

• 📚A Practical Introduction to Diffusion Models
• 📚Introduction to Flow Matching and Diffusion Models

Both are amazing if you want to learn more about diffusion. I’m working through them, too, as I recently started working on diffusion-based models at work.

Just dove into the console world with a PlayStation 5 Pro after a lifetime of PC gaming! Initial thoughts:

• Simplicity wins: The user experience is undeniably streamlined – no more PC maintenance headaches!
• Controller magic: Some games, like Ghost of Tsushima, feel incredible with the PS5 controller’s features.
• Pricey games: Ouch, the cost of games is definitely higher.
• Library lock-in: Missing the cross-platform library sharing (though that might change on Xbox?).
• App design: The PS App UI could definitely be better. It looks quite clunky right now.

Ultimately, it’s a fun new experience! Playing on a big screen and co-op with friends is great.

Also, PlayStation 5 still offers plenty of exclusives and day one releases. Even though they eventually come to PC, having access to them from the release date is really nice.
