No need to be so dismissively pathological. If you disagree, that's one thing, but this reads as 'look at this sad, crazy fool' when this is a pretty understandable reaction to fee…

The important piece here is that many people want to contribute to something intellectually, and a huge pathway for that is at risk of being significantly eroded. Permanently. Your…

This has been exactly my mindset as well (another Seattle SWE/DS). The baseline capability has been improving and compounding, not getting worse. It'd actually be quite convenient …

I read this as a happy take on nihilism by taking awe of the absurdism. It really has been quite a journey, hasn't it? Dig it!

Same here. Find any good resources? I've been leaning on auto-encoders to encode better than word-2-vec and its ilk.

I've been watching Steve Brunton's lab closely on discovering dynamical/control systems via NN's/Auto-Encoders. His videos really helped me figure out what was happening in the bac…

This is really great! It speaks very much to my use-case (building user embeddings and serving them both to analysts + other ML models). I was wondering if there was a reasonable w…

Super cool stuff! Thanks for the article. I was wondering if someone had an opinion on an adjacent idea. I've had Nash's infinitely collapsible sphere stuck in my head for some tim…

They should be quite similar. In the end you coax your embedding space to amount to some consistent measurement of what causes samples to diverge from one-another. You can do simil…

This is spot on with my own observations, especially as we get into modelling more 'abstract' ideas. As more NN methods become viable, some more savvy data scientists complain to m…

Love it! I feel like I made a different "zone" in this world: https://music-grid.surge.sh/#0-1056-2048-32-64-64-1024-2176-...

Compelling. I wonder what else this could be applied to in addition to psychedelics? Anti-anxiety and other sensory affecting drugs? If you wanna get Black Mirror-esque, perhaps a …

Neat. Can you point to any particularly compelling applications? I'm looking into a graph representation for something myself and this looks incredibly helpful.

Interesting point. Are there sensors/tools other than a spectrograph that could help? Some clever use of a camera or something?

I like it. I wonder if any faux meat companies are doing things like this?
