I already mentioned some of this in another response, but I'll include it here as well: you can take measures to not have to take medication / insulin if you have type 2 diabetes. The number one thing to avoid it is to stay lean a

I can't answer this question for you, but some life-style factors which I think will help you avoid getting it are provided below: - 5-10g of vitamin D daily (assuming you're talking about type 1 diabetes) - type 1 diabetes is an

Type 1 diabetic as well here - I do this and I can confirm that I have much better control over my HB1C (average blood sugar reading) since I eat mostly a keto and plant based healthy diet (composed of minimally processed foods). One issue

Great post and write-up - I also made an in-depth explorations and did my best to use visuals - for anyone interested you can find it here: https://photonlines.substack.com/p/intuitive-and-visual-guid...

Agassi is a far outlier though. I'm not saying that it's not a lonely road, but I remember reading about his dad being a compulsive gambler and him having to play a match for their house when he was 12-14 years old. Think about wh

Because when you aim for the moon -- even if you miss, you will still be a success (in my mind). I would rather live life as a failed scientist trying to reach a revolutionary breakthrough in understanding or following what I feel is my pas

I'd say from my limited vantage point that it looks like it's only partially social pressure. The media glamourizing sports stars I'd say is the root-cause. This doesn't just apply to tennis - it applies to every sport.

You're 100% correct. The explanations I was reading gave me the impression that we can get rid of the magnetic field - but this only works in special cases. Right now I'm reviewing my notes and realizing that yup - they're bo

Yup - well this is where my suggestion is to change the GPT architecture. You can think of having a logic program function as the 'frontal lobe' of the general pre-trained auto-associative model. This 'frontal lobe' regi

What happens when you don't give a human being the correct answer? :)
73.
by photon_lines 2y ago
Yup this is a good example. This is because the model has no conception of what 'causality' is or how to try to come up with a correct 'model' - humans have a visual system which helps them out, but for LLMs I can defini

Will note this and try to add a TOC next time I do this sort of write-up. This article wasn't supposed to be this long - I originally meant to make a more compact version but kept on finding more things which I needed to add in order t

So instead of shouting insults, maybe you can shine some light on how anything stated there is wrong? Everything that I said there is true - we don't have a good mapping of what consciousness is - if you want to add some insights add t

Sure - with the Alice example, when I saw the problem I came up with a really simple visual example of Alice having 3 sisters and 4 brothers. When I visualized it I saw Alice standing next to 3 other women (her sisters) and her 4 brothers s

'It's impossible to plan without an internal monologue.' - Sorry, but I disagree with this. I have no 'internal voice' or monologue - whenever I see a problem, my brain actually and fully models it using images. I b

Yup - well you feed in the prompt along with an answer and you get the model to produce outputs and check for discrepancies. If the answer is wrong then the model adjusts -- this is the way backpropagation works....I think there are huge ad

You can get models to actually show that 'logs' could function as 'chairs.' You're forgetting that we humans also learn this as well, but we learn this in a much simpler manner than LLMs though so someone has to exp

I'm not sure what you mean by 'it will not scale well.' When we humans learn that we make a mistake - we make a note and we hold the correct answer in memory - the next time we're prompted with a similar prompt, we can u

by photon_lines 2y ago
There's actually a pretty simple solution to this that I thought about testing out and it involves asking the model to re-construct the problem using a logic language (like Prolog) and asking it to execute this type of program in order

Great work!! Note to author: you misspelled Heaviside step function: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaviside_step_function . I also highly recommend 'Who Is Fourier?: A Mathematical Adventure.'

Sure - like I said, it's hard for me to say what my favorite is without naming a category, but since we're on the topic of Electromagnetism I'll stick to physics and recommend 1) Introduction to Elementary Particles by Griffi

Thank you for the feedback. I'll review my notes and see if I can clarify this section - my key point there was simply to show that the magnetic field isn't really necessary - I wanted to show that it's all part of relativist

I actually took a look at doing this, but most human minds aren't tuned to 4D space-time, so if you have ideas on presenting this sort of thing to most people let me know and I'll be more than happy to modify my approach!!
