Physics PhD anno 2015. Computer Vision @ big evil company since. Sophie Ellis-Bextor was never my girlfriend. Kullback-Leibler does not equal Leibler-Kullback.

If you're in for an hour long rant, here a motivational for Neural Network Field Theory. The video also has a short overview of Neural Network Gaussian Processes and Quantum Field Theory. Includes a tangent on Neural Tangent Kernel theory. #NNGP #NNFT #QFT youtu.be/ZSmORp3Bm2c

OTOH just the general “it struck me that I had forgotten to bring in the clothes” sounds perfectly nice and even more succinct with „(es) fiel (mir) ein”

Yet to find a German phrase that translates “(it) strikes (me) as” well, but I probably overuse that so maybe for the best.

@AICostLedger @_vmlops probably not worth making a call as long as the tools are still rapidly changing. there's certainly excitement to using the new medium, which is more interactive. then again, technically all the info is already there, in book, in google. currently, we just overcome our laziness

Claude is literally teaching me maths right now and i actually understand it?? like it just showed me WHY a positive medical test doesn't mean you're sick (Bayes theorem) with a live interactive dot grid and i could drag sliders to see it change in real time normal distribution, central limit theorem, full interactive bell curves all in one chat this is how school should have worked

@subcountability I have no recollection of writing such a thing, I'm not sure it was me, unless it was perhaps some footnote or miscellany attached to one of my main works

I took down my substack, and I'd rather not explain why. I'm thinking of reposting my old essays and stories from there, here. But I feel increasingly self-conscious about this. I'm always a bit surprised when someone tells me they liked this or that thing I wrote

AI bros and mathematicians are two particularly idol craving cohorts. They are desperate to relish. Someone added a quote to Wikipedia of Neumann calculating fast - and eventually the lore reflects an ever more superhuman flare. Tao, now in both fields, is experiencing this also.

Tokyo and Seoul as cities have very dark and creepy energy. Evil spirits everywhere probably. The entire of Japan might be evil but I haven’t investigated heavily. Taipei is normal though, good vibes

I've met many smart people that are slow-smart or Bohr-smart. They often don't have a quick answer, they struggle to contribute in meetings (esp. with loudmouths present), but give them a day or week, and they come back with the most brilliant, insightful thoughts and answers.

The terms are probably too loose to decide this either way. Both directions seem to lend themselves to arguments to the contrary. The archetypical pool broke, even if we take one who's life revolves around getting the next buck, isn't necessarily "greedy". The Buffet guy who keeps working to strengthen his position despite being a multi-multi-millioanire since forever, what is his concern. We can read him amicably and say he's not doing it for the money per se, but if we grant that reading to him, then it probably applied to almost everybody. Especially the poor who are fixated on it due to their precarious situation. The point that probably applied is that those who have lots of money are casual about the amount they regularly spend. They don't think twice. But, against, this doesn't not seem to make the calculating poor guy "greedy", and, countering the "never understand" part of your assertion, I suppose an intelligent poor person can study and understand the other guy's situation and attitude, and vice versa.

@ChadNotChud I think this is far too vague. Like if we take the word "indefinitely" on the nose, then yes this just saying that our civilization and it's offshoots won't last forever. But if the changes till 2035 look like the last 2 years, then the world won't be recognizable either way.

increasingly clear that LLMs are just a Normal Technology cool and useful, but fantasies that their rate of improvement will continue indefinitely are just that like everything, we’ll reach a point where further improvement requires a qualitatively different approach
