Looking forward to the PBS Spacetime coverage of these experiments in about 2 weeks time, I'm sure they'll do an excellent job explaining them.

If you have a camera that shoots RAW 8k video, I'd wager you aren't using an iPad to edit on.

I have ADHD and I've anecdotally found that other ADHD people tend to be far more receptive to it, because it's how they often work too. Apparently it's a common symptom?

Certainly agree on there being "good" and "bad" interruptors. Being a jerk with the way you interrupt is never a good idea, and unfortunately the reputation of interruption in general as mode of communication has been su

As a habitual interrupter, this is one of my big fears when talking to non-interrupters. For me, frequent brief interruptions is how I follow along with what the other person is saying—otherwise it's almost certain I'll lose track

I have a strong habit of "autocompleting" people's thoughts in my head before they're done saying them. I'm only right maybe ~60% of the time, but it comes with a strong urge to interrupt them and let them know wher

2010 was truly a phenomenal year to be a film soundtrack enjoyer. It's hard to believe that we got Ross and Reznor on Social Network, John Powell on How To Train Your Dragon, Zimmer on Inception, and Daft Punk on Tron: Legacy. All 4

Agreed. Procreate is a masterclass in iPad app design. Everything runs so smoothly, the features are deep but the interface is still beginner-friendly, it's a joy to draw in with the Apple Pencil, and it has really good options availab

Fun fact, Trent and Atticus are still scoring films, most recently Pixar's Soul! It's a great soundtrack[0] that has a number of jazz tracks contributed by Jon Batiste as well as Reznor and Ross's synth pieces. Fair warning,

Yes, this is a belief held by a broader group of people, but I haven't booked up on it much myself. Some quick googles for "Quantum consciousness" and "consciousness as a fundamental field" brought up some of the ar

I think this is actually a fascinating difference between the cultures surrounding Slack and Discord. Both use this language—in fact, Discord uses it much more liberally, sprinkling all sorts of silly things around the UI—but because Discor

This is just one of the many fun projects Sam Chiet[0] has created. I also recommend his documentary/drama/comedy special/manifesto about the Xbox Kinect[1]. He's also the person behind Desktop Goose[2] which went viral

I have become the resident "hardware guy" in roughly this fashion. When I got the job, my only computer hardware experience was building my own janky PC and having watched 100s of hours of Linus Tech Tips, but when my boss suggest

AGI specifically refers to general AI with human-level intelligence or above. It's a far cry from modern AI, but I'm personally quite optimistic it'll be achieved within my lifetime :)

This is very much up for debate and falls squarely into the "Philosophical opinions" category I'd say. Personally, I disagree that AGI would be any less capable of "real" goals than humans — but I'm also a stau

This was also my immediate thought. Lecture slides are a fantastic resource but seeing them presented would be even more helpful, especially for someone like me who learns best through video!

No problem! It's getting harder and harder to keep up with all the stuff getting released in the AI world these days.

Sort of a side tangent, not 100% certain it belongs in this comment thread but I'll put it here anyways and let the votes decide :P On the one hand, I feel really proud of how far we as a species have come in the past 200 years—we went

And there you have it. As an aspiring filmmaker and an AI researcher, I'm going to relish the next decade or so where my talents are still relevant. We're entering the golden age of art, where the AIs are just good enough to be us

I assume you meant just "parameters" since "hyperparameters" has a specific alternate meaning? Sorry for the pedantry lol.

I only ever really got into calculus when I decided I wanted to know how AI worked—I'm a strong believer that academic learning needs to be motivated or it simply won't benefit most students.

This is one of the best analogies I've heard for denoising diffusion models. I'm totally stealing this the next time my parents ask me how it works :P
