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

@TWarPhilosopher Nolan hasn't made a movie I'd rewatch since Batman, I don't have my hopes up. & I wouldn't even want a bare retelling. "Nobody is here", wow. Sword fight wow. When the X gang defends their teen boy influences, ofc it's fodder for the opposition. If it's weird, I might watch it.

What about the blackened bronze under the armor?
Variety@Variety

Christopher Nolan is defending the historical accuracy of the armor in #TheOdyssey: “There are Mycenaean daggers that are blackened bronze. The theory is they probably could have blackened bronze in those days. You take bronze, you add more gold and silver to it and then use sulfur… With Agamemnon, Ellen [Mirojnick], our costume designer, is trying to communicate how elevated he is relative to everyone else. You do that through materials that would be very expensive.” (via Time) wp.me/pc8uak-1lHg5Q

And we have already have a first potential solution to #6, produced by GPT 5.5 Pro (prompted by @thomasfbloom). It will take some time for me to check it but at first glance it indeed looks plausible! The problem and my pre-registered comments below.

PS. If you're thinking about giving these a try, the problems where I think existing models are most likely to be useful are #3 and #6, and possibly #7 if there is a counterexample. I've tried them without success, though, but you might have better luck!

@littmath @thomasfbloom We'll see that's the sentiment in 2 years (spoiler: it won't), but the image should also not taken as a suggestion not do it. It just feels a bit like the modern version of the story of the guy who replaced himself with a bash script at work.

A piglet rescued from an industrial farm in South Africa in 2016 was put in a stall with various objects to keep her busy. She ate or destroyed every single one of them except the paintbrushes. The woman who’d rescued her, a former pro golfer named Joanne Lefson, took the hint. She taught the pig to hold a brush in her mouth and touch it to a canvas. By the time Pigcasso passed last year at 700 kilograms, her abstract paintings had been collected by George Clooney and her brushwork licensed by Swatch for a limited-edition watch called Flying Pig, which retailed at around $110. In 2018 she became the first animal in history to host her own solo art exhibition, in Cape Town. They called it OINK. One of her canvases, Wild and Free, later sold to a German collector for $25,000. Total raised for the sanctuary that took her in: over a million dollars.

@frostyz My immediate answer you be: Why the fuck wouldn't I analyze that?! In this case, shorter notes do however also have a benefit - my files are LLM embedded (I made a video on this) and huge files with too many chunks are unweildly and too much variation is unhelpful in comparison.

Character length distribution, of various types of text files, in my note collection. (The blue line is just a two-lognormal mixture I fitted to it.)

New project: problemsilike.com, a website collecting open problems that I, personally, like, with comments on their context, difficulty, and interest.
