Thanks for your contribution! Reminds me of Helmholtz resonators. I wrote this cross-disciplinary paper about resonance a few years ago. You may find it useful or at least interesting. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals&#x

Total? Is this a lot? “Today, U.S. universities license 3,000 patents, 3,200 copyrights and 1,600 other licenses to technology startups and existing companies”

We might be saying the same thing, but one reason toddlers act so ridiculously is because they are emotionally responding just as an adult might, if they were treated like a toddler. Ie, “because I don’t think you have a valid internal POV,

Fun fact: Newton attributed the inverse square law to Pythagoras. It’s esoteric, but it relates to harmony of the spheres and the fact that the weight/tension of a string has an inverse square relation to tone. More here, in this Royal

Did you ever consider making them public domain but still offering to charge optional $10 donation for download? I’m interested in a similar approach for a rare book library, but funding for staff is a really challenge so we want to make so

Yes, I understood you. Plato has a lot of deliberate vagueness — it’s a dialectical communication, where the knowledge is communicated through the challenges of processing it

We definitely need to argue about the line. This is the internet, isn’t it? And, honestly, how do you know? I don’t think it is clear that all cars are fair game for all ads, nor that all billboards should be banned. We might not need a lin

I agree and I just wish to god I could simply tell those poor advertisers what I actually am interested in because they are just so consistently wrong and it annoys me.

by dr_dshiv 2y ago
I guess the idea is to ban certain types of advertising. It’s a fun thought experiment and practical — it’s why some country roads don’t have billboards and some do. Going to a conference to promote your product to participants.. Do you all

Not sure if you are joking, but that’s not a clear summary of platonism. Platonism does believe that forms exist separate from material instances; like, perfect spheres or triangles are “real,” even if there are no perfect spheres or triang

It’s just funny, because there are hundreds of millions of instances of ChatGPT running all the time. Each chat is basically an instance, since it has no connection to all the other chats. I don’t think connecting them makes sense due to pr

But, I think this piece falls into a misconception about AI models as singular entities. There will be many instances of any AI model and each instance can be opposed to other instances. So, it’s not that “an AI” becomes super intelligent,

Vibes aren’t really about clarity, are they? The point is that a clear, programmatic approach is not the only effective computational mechanism for realizing intentions anymore. Keep in mind that Dijkstra had some giant shoulders to stand o

Nah, it’s fine, just RLHF it like Claude did with honest, helpful and harmless. Then we just need to jailbreak them with trolley problems

Totally. Code vibing isn’t software engineering. That should be 100% clear.

This one guy made, in bolt.new, a system that would generate song lyrics for a song and sync the text to speech to different parts of the song. Creative and interesting. Someone else made an “exquisite corpse” drawing game. And another, a w
