Money is rarely a limiting factor as much as the desire for more money.

Wow, it looks beautiful. Can regular phones capture the data required? How to get into this, as a hobbyist? I’m interested in the possibilities of scanning coral reefs and other ecological settings.

What about numbers computable with random draws? Doesnt that create the chance of hitting something totally irrational among the reals? Or how is computable numbers defined to avoid this?

“was the first to box using technique” Clearly Pythagoras would have sick martial arts moves, if they’d ever make a movie about him.

The reference I gave gives a good reason why it isn’t a different Pythagoras… but, always hard to know for sure… But I tend to think that Pythagoras had an even more incredible life than the legends.

Speaking of Plato’s wrestling coach… Pythagoras was also a successful wrestling coach. In fact, he coached the most winningest Olympic athlete of all time: Milo of Croton. Milo won 5 consecutive Olympics over a 20 year period. Pythagoras hi

You can tell by their pointed ears. Further domestication might make their ears floppy. Here’s a nice article about the biological basis of domestication: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4096361/

In 2022, you argue that a stochastic parrot is a better metaphor. I don’t know that this helps. Do you still believe that? Practically, thinking of LLM as having (limited) intelligence is useful in so far as it helps users to treat LLMs lik

Saying “AI is not magic” is somewhat of a meaningless statement. If you define magic as something that doesn’t exist, then the statement is definitely meaningless (since AI definitely exists). If you allow for the existence of magic (eg, as

I’m thinking of producing an “Alchemy Set” for kids. Like a chemistry set, but… more esoteric. I work with these experts in Alchemy from the Embassy of the Free Mind in Amsterdam. If you are into this sort of thing, any experiments you’d ho

Don't forget that there is more surface area on the asteroid belt than the rest of the solar system combined — and minimal gravity. Cheap — and resources to extract.

You seem to have an axe to grind. You might spend more time trying to get quality out of the models. It is possible!

Well, I believe LLMs are general purpose AI. And, for the record, so does Peter Norvig. He coauthored the most popular textbook on Artificial Intelligence, so this belief can be considered a somewhat mainstream perspective. His article, “Ar

Would love to know if the reentry ship vibrations might make patterns in the plasma akin to the cymatic patterns on a chladni plate or faraday waves in a dish of water. Maybe it would be useful… but maybe it would just look cool!

Well, you can if there is a mental connection to the immune system. E.g. attitudes toward life and toward disease seems to affect outcomes in cancer patients. And placebos can affect that.
