Resident Goose
You smile as the geese return,
Look wistful as they fly away.
Would it surprise you at all to learn
That some of us loyally stay
In this off-season habitat?
Given you failed to notice that
Is it really the goose you love
Or a cycle of abuse from above?
Is it that, in reality,
You praise your sun’s prodigality?
(You’d think human ingenuity
Would find richer forms of promiscuity.)
That whooshing honking from the sky
Offers a shared temporal space.
And the best we who remain nigh
Can offer, is a poop bomb to the face.
A fire spits and spittles with the same sputum it later roars. It simmers and simpers and later soars. Like Sonata Pathetique, the Mona Lisa, or any tour de force.
This is working well for me, yielding significant improvements on lipids and blood pressure, as well as just general mood and, dare I say it, physique: https://t.co/sxy4oIzLHu Yes, I’m sad enough to have taken the pestle and mortar on work trips. I use a Fitbit tracker to help keep me on the straight and narrow but resent needing it. Good luck!
@BingBongBrent@FarkasTim@NinaPanickssery My initial thought was that this was reinforcement learning. But think you’d be looking at 100k to 1M loops doing it that way.
@BingBongBrent@FarkasTim@NinaPanickssery Very nice work. Any global residual here? Like will it see this as an opportunity to globally improve its concept of an apple- or would that require some LoRA type pipeline?
The uber driver just said, in an accent (I’m in Portugal), “It will take about 12 minutes.” To which I replied: “It’s nice to meet you.” Trying to pass it off as an English thing.
Nice articulation of the innovator’s dilemma: “To obtain a lot of reward, a reinforcement learning agent must prefer actions that it has tried in the past and found to be effective in producing reward. But to discover such actions, it has to try actions that it has not selected before. The agent has to exploit what it already knows in order to obtain reward, but is also has to explore in order to make better action selections in the future. The dilemma is that neither exploration nor exploitation can be pursued exclusively without failing at the task.” Sutton & Barto
