@sterlingcrispin @ChatGPTapp I would absolutely wear a Belzona 1212, a two-part, surface-tolerant epoxy composite designed to bond and repair wet, oily, and underwater surfaces, t-shirt.

An interesting thing I’ve learned from carpentery is that the eye is extremely good at detecting PLUMB. It is also very good at seeing PARALLEL and SQUARE. The eye can detect an imperfect circle immediately. But it is not as good at seeing LEVEL. I have no theory for this.

@___flat__ @hopes_revenge @ID_AA_Carmack do you still do this? What cities have you been to

making each neuron in the hopfield network a bird: store a memory and the flock splits/coalesces based on their weight matrix.
memory = murmury.

If you do enough math or programming, certain numbers start to stand out, like 362880, 0x270F, or 4294967295, and you can intuit what kind of generative process might've produced them in a way that seems like magic from the outside.
If you do enough next-token prediction, certain

~ memory is a flock of birds ~
i built a hopfield network and taught it the alphabet - then watched it remember in real time by adjusting the temperature.

no neuron has the whole picture. the memory is distributed across every neuron’s connections.

@ZyMazza @47fucb4r8c69323 Something with acceleration. You would need a vector field.

Maybe tone? You need a phrase to detect sarcasm not just a token

Our live tissue clearing paper is out in @naturemethods! We achieved optical clearing of mammalian brain tissues without compromising normal neuronal function. Big congrats to @Shigenori774 and our wonderful collaborators! 🎉

@fchollet Weird that kind of sounds like what LLMs do…

for years, society was limited to only 16 syrup squares per waffle but with recent combinatorial optimization breakthroughs our research department has achieved previously unheard of densities of waffle syrup
