I agree with the author's point that intelligence is largely "the process of removing the bullshit to see what remains" So, because I thought it would be funny, I asked ChatGPT to summarize this essay: > The author critiqu

That's awesome! I did not know that part 2 was structured this way, and will check it out. Will be really neat to see you teach stable diffusion. Thanks for your work on fast.ai!

Both are good for different things. Fast.AI is great, but it takes the top down, vs the bottom up, approach. It takes you from a production-level black box that you don't understand, down to the details. The benefit there is you get go

Your tutorials are effective and concise. Thank you for them! Accessible, from-scratch knowledge on these topics is essential at this time in history and you're really making a dent in that problem.

I would argue that its high-fidelity representations of 3d space, imply that the model's weights are capable of pattern-matching in multiple dimensions, provided the input is embedded into 2d space appropriately.

Neat site! Minor usability thing -- I might suggest reducing the velocity of the animations, their current speed is a little unsettling.

This is awesome. It reminds me of what they do on the podcast "Song Exploder." In that podcast, the host rarely talks, and instead all you're left with is the artist, and their explanations of where the stems for their songs

After watching the 3blueonebrown video linked below in the comments, I'm inclined to agree with you -- nice way of putting it.

While I agree that the findings would be "Putin helped the Right by meddling in foreign elections" -- the ability to plant the idea "your elections should not be trusted" may on-balance make it irrelevant to Russia'

Very possibly both.

The timing of this information suggests that while it may be true, its very disclosure may also be meddling in foreign elections -- i.e. casting doubt on their legitimacy helps many within the US who are actively trying to propagate that na

What alternative did you find? Their product has always seemed nice in demos, but the aggressive marketing has made it hard for me to look at getting more involved.

Recommend Supabase.

by marviel 4y ago
Can you speak more about the issues with Supabase you describe?

by marviel 4y ago
You should check out supabase -- it takes this pattern (with a Postgres backend instead) and packages it up in an open source, cloud hosted but also self-hostable model

Good! So it will be as it should always have been.

I would have purchased a Tesla by now if the controls were not touchscreen-only. Critical (to me) operations like volume control, should be manageable from any context, and with physical controls for precision and no-look-requirements.

It seems like a neat concept -- have you used it personally?

I mean to push back a bit on this -- they have a pretty intuitive GUI that they've open sourced for working with the database at a less SQL-focused level. It isn't exhaustive but for basic things like adding / editing columns

What makes you think this isn't exactly the direction that supabase is going in?

As my Reinforcment Learning professor said: "It's all about incentives, people" This is the kind of idea that begs me to reconsider crypto as a possible real-world-problem-solving-tool. But I've yet to see an example of

Why don't you view it as a moral question?

How do you justify the morality of this action to yourself?

Agree from my gut, a high-level stitching NN layer on top of existing techniques is what will get us the next jump.

It's becoming clear that efficient work in the future will hinge upon one's ability to accurately describe what one wants . Unpacking that -- a large piece is the ability to understand all the possible "pitfalls" and &q

Can you explain what you mean, and how that is true?
