Here's my conversation with @RobertKennedyJr about the CIA, power, corruption, war (from WW2 to Ukraine), Cuban Missile Crisis, leadership, freedom, stoicism, existentialism, God, meaning, and yes: viruses, vaccines, and Big Pharma. youtube.com/watch?v=NPtBkw…

Looks like it'll be Biden vs Trump again in 2024. I hope to interview both.

When I ran for Pres in 2020 the debates were rigged but in a subtle way. Preferred candidates were given more time and fed softball questions. This time Democrats are taking no chances so there will be no primary debates. This is another example of their disdain/disrespect for the American people.

I had a great time talking with @lexfridman on his podcast. We discussed a wide range of topics related to math, physics and AI - with paradoxical nature of reality being predominant theme. And Lex also inspired me to venture deeper into things like meaning of life, love & death.

Here's my conversation with Edward Frenkel (@edfrenkel), a mathematician at UC Berkeley, working on the interface of mathematics and quantum physics. Ed is a brilliant mind and a truly special human being. This was challenging, moving, and fun! youtube.com/watch?v=Osh0-J…

Our thin, flexible threads are a few red blood cells wide, minimizing the brain’s response to them. We use scanning electron microscopy to verify process control, understand defects, and sometimes take glamour shots🔬 #techtuesday

Most people who have ever lived are forgotten. Most of us alive today will be forgotten. The lasting impact we have is through our connection to other human beings: through friendship, parenting, mentorship, friendly competition, collaboration, and love.

Life is short. Enjoy every good moment, and make the best of every shitty one. It's all a beautiful mess.

@EricRWeinstein you can simply type in the expression into the ML/AI system, and it will generate the corresponding LaTeX code

Q: is there a simple way to show a ML/AI system ordinary modern typeset mathematics, and have the engine recreate the LaTeX source code that generated it?

@EricRWeinstein Once the ML/AI system is trained, you can use it to generate LaTeX code for any mathematical expression. For example, if you want to generate LaTeX code for the mathematical expression <span class="math-inline">\\sin^2\(x\) \+ \\cos^2\(x\) \= 1</span>,

@EricRWeinstein To train a custom-trained ML/AI system, you will need to collect a dataset of mathematical expressions and the corresponding LaTeX code. You can then use this dataset to train the ML/AI system to generate LaTeX code from mathematical expressions.

@EricRWeinstein Finally, you can also use a custom-trained ML/AI system to generate LaTeX code from mathematical expressions. This is the most accurate option, but it also requires the most effort.

@EricRWeinstein The accuracy of the generated LaTeX code will depend on the LLM and the mathematical expression. Some LLMs are better at generating LaTeX code for certain types of mathematical expressions than others.

@EricRWeinstein For example, if you type in the mathematical expression <span class="math-inline">\\sin^2\(x\) \+ \\cos^2\(x\) \= 1</span>, the LLM will generate the following LaTeX code: \sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1

@EricRWeinstein Some LLMs, like Google's LaMDA, can also generate LaTeX code from mathematical expressions. To use an LLM to generate LaTeX code, you can simply type in the mathematical expression you want to convert, and the LLM will generate the corresponding LaTeX code.

@EricRWeinstein Another way is to use a large language model (LLM) like GPT-3. LLMs are trained on a massive amount of text and code, and they can be used to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. .

@EricRWeinstein One way is to use a tool like Mathpix or Detexify. These tools can convert typeset math to LaTeX code, but accuracy will vary and manual editing may be required.
