Congrats on the launch. This is something I'd spent some time on few years ago. I hacked together something similar for my usecase by reverse engineering. No ML model though - Using Nearest neighbours and Tversky similarity measures i

Thanks for sharing. I find it super fascinating that we can model macro phenomena using game theory constructs and validate them with experiments. Very cool. I’ll see if I can get hold of the paper. Cheers

I’m one of those savages who can finish a bottle of Indian pickle in one go. Even if my teeth start hurting because of the acidity, I still keep going at it by sucking on them. Nothing like a hyper concentrated dose of sourness explosion in

Brings back childhood memories. Enjoyed reading about these and the accompanying illustrations as a kid from the excellent book Physics for Entertainment by Yakov Perelman. Nirantara Chalana Yantralu they were called in Telugu translation.

Very cool. Will give this idea a spin soon. I'm a bit of a scientist myself too :) Here's something interesting I did few days ago. - Generated images using mixture of different styles of prompts with SDXL Base Model ( using Diffu

Yep kinda like that. I call it Answer guided monkeying around :) I try and see if I can arrive at the answer using Monte Carlo simulations and then try to work around that. Often times they give valuable insights and help uncover symmetries

I've come a long way I guess in the sense that I've learned to adult my way through things that don't necessarily excite me :| Programming in particular was a gamechanger for me and helped me see and appreciate the beauty in

"Utility had a strange backseat for me" I kinda took that to the extreme when I was young. Used to loathe anything practical - experiments, programming, applied math etc cuz you know they weren't "pure" and engaging

Wow incredible! This looks like just what I'm looking for! Thanks a ton!

Nice thank you this looks interesting! Cheers

That would've been speculative with a dash of poetic license I presume ? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Hume proposed any mathematical model in this regard. Would love to see some references. Thanks

Thanks for the share! Does anyone have similar recommendations ( books | links | videos ) on the history of statistical inference ? Would love to know more about the evolution of statistical thought all the way from Pearson, Fischer etc. Ch

It's basically baby's first drum machine sort of stuff. PRECISELY! And I find that magical. Better prompt fidelity, model zoo etc will follow soon.

Agree. I'm still blown away by the fact that we can summon this level of coherent output with text. Absolute black magic sorcery that!

I'm just weirded about the fact that conversation about something AS EPIC AS THIS is so boring and rudderless here on hacker news of all places. I mean like YESTERDAY I did not have this superpower to summon something as majestic as sa

With some tinkering you can create really interesting stuff with Bark. I managed to generate a couple of song snippets / intros using free form text [1] Haven't tested it personally yet but if you are interested in voice cloning,

While I personally agree with the end result - cinematographer megachiropteran possibly being the best anagram, its worth exploring other scoring mechanisms I suppose - some kind of alliteration / cadence score to quantify how the word

Interesting story. Thanks for sharing this. I have a somewhat similar story with my failure to transition from paltformers / sidescrollers to 3D games. I just couldn't do it.

I like the aesthetic - a mix of deep dream and glitchy pixel art.

I agree, this is more of a personal take on how art should be produced and perceived without calling for a societal upheaval or annihilation or art as we know.

You are welcome. https://ubu.com/papers/index.html is a treasure trove of ruminations on this and art in general. Here's a playful and provocative Dadaist manifesto by Tristan Tzara https://writing.upen

Surprised to see a low effort article like this reach the front page. Feels like an SEO fluff piece to me.

Very much in line with what the Dadaists had to say about this topic. Remove the artist and their intentions from the equation and let the viewers experience art in itself. A particular group of them, in Zurich I believe, went to the extant
