Wow incredible! This looks like just what I'm looking for! Thanks a ton!

Nice thank you this looks interesting! Cheers

That would've been speculative with a dash of poetic license I presume ? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Hume proposed any mathematical model in this regard. Would love to see some references. Thanks

Thanks for the share! Does anyone have similar recommendations ( books | links | videos ) on the history of statistical inference ? Would love to know more about the evolution of statistical thought all the way from Pearson, Fischer etc.

Cheers

It's basically baby's first drum machine sort of stuff.

PRECISELY! And I find that magical. Better prompt fidelity, model zoo etc will follow soon.

Agree. I'm still blown away by the fact that we can summon this level of coherent output with text. Absolute black magic sorcery that!

I'm just weirded about the fact that conversation about something AS EPIC AS THIS is so boring and rudderless here on hacker news of all places.

I mean like YESTERDAY I did not have this superpower to summon something as majestic as say https://fb.watch/l4ssOD40M4/ with a simple 'A quirky and skronky Aphex twin sample that just hits you'

Edits:

I woke up to this news delivered from Yann Lecun himself in the morning on facebook[1] and my gaped mouth can still be found for onlookers to witness I suppose!

LIKE THIS IS IT FOLKS!

All those back in my days muzzak folks lamenting about the quality of contemporary music can fuck right off because you clearly havent explored enough of the modern music landscape.

Dont you dare blaspheme saying modern music has stagnated or some drivel like that. It is outright offensive to folks who are pushing the boundaries like say for example The Ex from Netherlands https://www.facebook.com/theexband https://www.theex.nl/news.html

Just because you and the other soulless people you fraternize with are ignorant of all the innovative stuff thats going on, we have to suffer through your opinion on the state of pop culture?

Hold my beer. [1]

NSFW of the revolting kind. No nudity / violence / gore but they are a bit disgusting depending on your taste. They aren't turds but sorta look like them.

With some tinkering you can create really interesting stuff with Bark. I managed to generate a couple of song snippets / intros using free form text [1]

Haven't tested it personally yet but if you are interested in voice cloning, you might wanna check this fork of Bark [2]

Thanks for the share, will look into it. Cheers

While I personally agree with the end result - cinematographer megachiropteran possibly being the best anagram, its worth exploring other scoring mechanisms I suppose - some kind of alliteration / cadence score to quantify how the words roll in succession. Maybe throw in semantic distance as well using clip embeddings probably to quantify the surprise element (or closeness for that matter). Gonna play around with this and see what I can do.

Interesting story. Thanks for sharing this. I have a somewhat similar story with my failure to transition from paltformers / sidescrollers to 3D games. I just couldn't do it.

:) Can't wait for my 4 year old kiddo to wake up so I can tell her how her drawings come to life in the night and dance around if she behaves haha

Thank you again (and Meta too) for making this happen. This is gonna be put a smile on millions of kids I tell you and make them draw more.

Edit: My bad it has to do with my Adblocker. Its all good now. Cheers

Super cool! Thank you for bringing this to the world. Kids are gonna love this. I'm unable to get it running on the web demo unfortunately though :( Post image upload, I'm redirected to https://sketch.metademolab.com/canvas with a blank screen with the grid image. Without any error message, it isn't obvious if the issue is with the images I uploaded ( which probably is the case ). Will try the Python library and play around.

PS: That silly dance thingy gif is so hilarious

I like the aesthetic - a mix of deep dream and glitchy pixel art.

I agree, this is more of a personal take on how art should be produced and perceived without calling for a societal upheaval or annihilation or art as we know.

You are welcome. https://ubu.com/papers/index.html is a treasure trove of ruminations on this and art in general.

Here's a playful and provocative Dadaist manifesto by Tristan Tzara

https://writing.upenn.edu/library/Tzara_Dada-Manifesto_1918....

> What we need is works that are strong straight precise and forever beyond understanding. Logic is a complication. Logic is always wrong. It draws the threads of notions, words, in their formal exterior, toward illusory ends and centers. Its chains kill, it is an enormous centipede stifling independence. Married to logic, art would live in incest, swallowing, engulfing its own tail, still part of its own body, fornicating within itself, and passion would become a nightmare tarred with protestantism, a monument, a heap of ponderous gray entrails.

Surprised to see a low effort article like this reach the front page. Feels like an SEO fluff piece to me.

Very much in line with what the Dadaists had to say about this topic. Remove the artist and their intentions from the equation and let the viewers experience art in itself. A particular group of them, in Zurich I believe, went to the extant of signing each other's pieces or with pseudonyms to distance themselves from the art they created.

Thematically it’s pretty much on spot but stylistically nah. It needs to relax a bit and be a lot more informal / speechy and throw in some expletives here and there I suppose.

I remember solving this problem* from high school days. It results in a simple harmonic motion.

* Provided the object falling down is a spherical cow that is impervious to pressure changes and what not :)

Brahmagupta you petulant child! Knowledge often tends to be passed on to future generations without leaving a trail to its origin. Glad to hear about you zeroing in on the art of hastaprayoga at such a tender age. Keep mastering those marmashastras and you might one day decimate the old ways of thinking and reshape the world as we know.

Nice. Keeps throwing error frequently though. This is one of my favourite pastimes along with smooshing syllables of any sentence to multiples of five. I do a couple of other variations like “Kaher Sewn”, “Kahen Sewr” etc as well :)

Meego(Nokia N9) had this too where you could access all your emails and social notifications in one place with a quick swipe.

Verbally is how I experience it exclusively as in not like saying it aloud but more like uttering it to myself internally if that makes sense. I should log this when it happens next time. Usually I happen to be mentally reciting/picturing* a word syllabically and not alphabetically and for a span of 3-4 seconds it feels utterly alien. Happens with the simplest words like colour, market etc.

Thank you for sharing this. I read about this on Wikipedia a decade or so ago and for the life of me couldn’t find it again. All I could remember was that G.K.Chesterton was mentioned in the Wikipedia article and tried many times to google his name with different keywords (‘Chesterton words repetition’ etc)to no luck whenever this phenomena happened with me.

PS: Chesterton isn’t mentioned in the current version of this article but I see a lot of hits when I search his name with semantic satiation.

Yes indeed! Amazing stories and illustrations. Have read this book end to end probably a dozen times as a kid :) The headings in this book had a Telugu font I'd never seen used anywhere else.

I assume you're talking about this one https://sovietbookbugs.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/rassian-c...

It is relatively easy to find if you search in the right places. Have seen copies of it floating around in many second hand shops. I'm pretty sure you can get this in Lenin Centre, Vijayawada. I can speak to my dad and see if he can help. You can ping me at xhreeha.replace.x.with.s@gmail.com

Ah yes the little mathematics library :) I had a book or two from this series but never really got into them. Was more into Perelman's books on puzzles and riddles at that age. And speaking of pocket science books, my favorite is [1] 'Straight Lines and Curves'. Accessible to high schoolers with quirky illustrations and introduces many interesting concepts.
