I remember reading that geniuses tend to be more likely to have creative or artistic hobbies. Art is an instance of symbolic abstract reasoning. The level of originating new modes of expressing shape and form, which is what all the earliest

My experience with the APIs is Google is excellent and Microsoft is slightly better. And the offline model I've been using that's nearly as good as both is facebook's wav2vec2-large-960h-lv60-self. Don't believe what

Perhaps it's the use of the AI moniker but this thing is a computer program under the control of a human, who is the person responsible. It takes time and effort to use and is very much not like automated elevator control. In order of

And it failed at that. As the text gets longer and longer, the lack of synthesis across the contexts you've glued together becomes ever more glaring. It's a decent hack but not a solution. More research is needed for how to forget

Godot is a great engine that will continue to grow and improve. Unity too is excellent, with many useful professional and tutorial assets. Unity's 3D offerings and tooling are more mature, even as an indie. Some of my favorite professi

The interesting aspect of GPT-3+ is their reasoning like behavior such as Chains of thought or "step by step" generation. There's no evidence RETRO as is has sufficient capacity for the actually interesting behaviors.

I would not say that. Facebook, Microsoft and Google release plenty of useful models. EleutherAI have released 6 billion and 20 billion parameter language models. Huggingface has been training a 176B model [1]. The issue isn't a lack o

I run into this sentiment often and I believe it's fundamentally mistaken as to the purpose of notes. Recording is not knowing, at best it is memorization of largely useless trivia. Sherlock has a good discussion on this (Sherlock sola
