Oh wow thats nuts. Did you end up attending grad school for something else? Ive been thinking about applying but I haven't even able to find any departments that do research in this area. There is a huge craze around ML as its producin

Yes, but its not just music. Our senses are very much linked in that we can build a one to one relation of ideas in visual space to auditory space and vice versa. There is a common abstract model we understand so to speak. Our model of perc

This is something I've been thinking about the last 3-4 years and desperately what I am trying to do. I have what I think some interesting ideas and implementations, but no one quite grasps my thought process and I am stuck between bel

I had a simple thought a couple years ago that still fascinates me. If you do something as simple as "clap clap clap" (with equal measures of time), you can naturally relate it to any other set of sounds with that simple pattern (

Pitch is the frequency of the oscillation, timbre is the internal structure of what's oscillating. Is that right at all?

Negative numbers are very natural to me. Math isnt just about counting real objects, but also transformations through space/time. The notion of duality or things going in reverse is extremely natural. -5 is just the inverse of 5, such

I don't think thats true, modeling the data as vectorizations and having paths between them is entirely different from say, building a decision tree. The attention head is also something entirely different. And the model is capable of

I am confused. Isnt the whole point of this that these programs provably do what they do? Isnt that the opposite of LLMs? Seems more like LLMs made something more immediately useful.

The shit we make doctors go through is unnecessarily insane. It takes 300-400k of debt and grueling 7-8 years on top of a bachelors degree, with bunch of uncertainty on where you'll be or whether you ever make it, just to start working

Also maybe we need a slightly different kind of LLM, which instead of just assuming its top predictions are correct, gives you actions at critical steps on how to proceed. build a jar. > I can build a jar with x,y,z, which do you want?

Youre right there is a lot of ambiguity there. I think being able to scan user actions helps a ton with this though, because you know exactly the steps the user took. Most of the times I want this is when I literally have to repeat the same

Hmm, I am not really sure how any of that relates. I am not proposing a model that explains all of physical reality, just one that can formally represent mental observations. Different mathematics aim to do this in different ways.

What I mean is that there are multiple structures that are equivalently "4". 1,3 or 2,2, etc. 1 AND 3 depicts two distinct ovjects (or one object split into 2 parts) and is fundamentally a different idea than the structure represe

Is there any mathematics field that views mathematical objects as patterns of multiple numbers and considers order as a fundamental property? ex, 4 isnt just "4" but is either 1,1,1,1 or 3,1 or 1,3 or 2(a), 2(b) or 2(b), 2(a)? The
