A weird property of the frontier: finding the edge forces a realization that there’s very few people there, the others who’ve found it are tightly clustered and therefore quite happy to see you, and you all can’t help but ask “where is everybody?” in escalating confusion

4. A mushroom was given a robot body and learned to crawl on its own. Non-human life might be way smarter than we all think and perhaps connecting them to tech/ai will bring new forms of useful life.

@snwy_me It’s symbolic computing all the way down. or pointers :)

i’ve trained a model that can operate on abstract syntax trees directly instead of the textual representation of code, and the results are incredible. more soon

@Plinz Is this similar to the embedding hyperdimensional computing performs?

These "secret words" are simply random strings. These random strings can point to consistent regions in the embedding space.

You've probably seen that "Apoploe vesrreaitais" means "birds" to #dalle 2. This is not a hoax, but the connection to the cryptic textual outputs of DALL·E is spurious. Let me explain briefly.
Giannis Daras@giannis_daras

DALLE-2 has a secret language. "Apoploe vesrreaitais" means birds. "Contarra ccetnxniams luryca tanniounons" means bugs or pests. The prompt: "Apoploe vesrreaitais eating Contarra ccetnxniams luryca tanniounons" gives images of birds eating bugs. A thread (1/n)🧵

I expect that the most important breakthroughs towards AGI will require moving to the models to real-time interaction and continual learning, and entice them to discover a coherent language of thought. Consciousness is probably going to emerge with second order attention.

Happiness, bliss and even satisfaction are instrumental. Don't aim for positive emotions, aim for integrity.

@mattparlmer I bought cut to length black extrusions from Misumi in mid November. Just shipped yesterday. Driving me insane too

The lockdowns in PRC are dramatically impacting leadtimes for basically everything, *again* This shit is driving me insane, we have had to find substitutes for nearly 80% of our print cell components, including stuff that should always be in stock like fasteners and extrusions

Russian and Ukrainian grain won't make it to market this year. And with fertilizer prices surging, many farmers are scaling back production. What can be done to avoid food shortages around the world? Post your best ideas that don't require acts of congress.

💚🌱 The future of science is a world where you can raise funding, run experiments and publish papers no matter how old you are, what you look like and what credentials you have.
Alexey Guzey@alexeyguzey

Since 1980, NIH increased funding of scientists 66 and older >10x and decreased funding of scientists 35 and younger >10x. If we don't do something about it, in a few decades we'll have no science to speak of. Here's what @newscienceorg's doing about it newscience.org/one-year-fello…

@callmehouck I made something that solved an unsexy problem and was scalable with good margins. Teachers nitpicked at the small solvable design quirks, engineering lab wouldn’t allow me to build it without a professor signing off that it was a school project

1/ Find directional arrows of PROGRESS (arrows of inevitability) they don’t point to the company or the founder or the specific tech—but they never fail. The more poetic the insight, the more likely it is to be true and the explanation harder to vary. CONSIDER: energy

The perceptual now is partially in the past and partially in the future of the physical now. Neurons are slow; the current moment is a prediction of states hundreds of ms in the future. Since predictions are often wrong, the memory of what happens now is reedited after the fact.
