kn8a··on The AI Research SuperCluster
Sorry I meant the 'lottery ticket' hypothesis. https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.03635v1

The lottery tickets are random but they are basically - as I understand - smaller graphs that have the same strength as a larger graph.

Isn't the problem that we can't hack time? Otherwise we would have a million monkeys on a million typewriters everywhere.

Could something like 'lottery ticket' review approach make this process faster? I might be wrong but I am not sure if that is parallelized.

Are there any alternatives to gradient based learning that could make this less useful? Is there another type of compute unit that is the next evolution of CPU -> GPU -> ?
kn8a··on A neural network solves and generates mathematics problems by program synthesis
If you have beta access to codex you can try and replicate their results. I have not been able to get the same results out of codex.

Mojang have also cracked down on brands from 2016.

I accidentally realised I could stream from Steam the other day which is interesting that they can technically do it.
kn8a··on 2020 Mathematical Art Exhibition
This was a mind blowing example of math and art from last year - perhaps the live coding of the method was even more impressive than the outcome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8--5LwHRhjk
kn8a··on How Boston Dynamics Taught Its Robots to Dance
She did an awesome job. The article implies that the choreography was reviewed by an engineer who would script the moves? Then article says then there is a pipeline that doesn't need scripting? The main question I was wondering is it possible to do this with mocap alone? Surely the closer artists can get to sculpting the tech the more opportunities for creation are possible.
