Alpha Alimamy Kamara @alpha_alimamy Graph Neural Networks as gradient flows by @mmbronstein in @TDataScience https://towardsdatascience.com/graph-neural-networks-as-gradient-flows-4dae41fb2e8a?source=social.tw Replying to @alpha_alimamy @mmbronstein and @TDataScience If you expose your neural nets to continuously increasingly complex streams, it will not get bored and fall into simple patterns. It is not the algorithm that gets lazy, it is the input that

Laboratory for Social Minds @LaboratoryMinds How does, like, information, flow in conversation? How do, uh, speakers and listeners, like, cope? We use LLMs and CANDOR to measure the information rate of human speech (just 13 bits/second!), and how disfluencies and backchannels help us manage it. https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.08890 Replying to @LaboratoryMinds Then you should be able to

But the idea that civilizations might be detected by their use of unique signatures embedded in their communication struck me as useful. “Earth’s sun” is not a sequence of text characters but a unique all possible frequencies large data signature of the mass

Anders Puck Nielsen: Why are maritime drones so hard to beat? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX68_FZl8UE Thanks for explaining why active electromagnetic radar based systems are so vulnerable. There are many passive, time of flight, correlating imaging array methods now. That is a mouthful, but an emerging set of complementary technologies that might one day give your people

Thomas Sandladerer: Made with Layers: I bought the cheapest 3D printer on AliExpress! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikjOEaPY6Rk I was amazed you got it assembled and working. Getting rid of the screen is a good idea, and they are closer to essential operating steps. If you got some wood or aluminum you could hot glue some rigidity. It

https://www.onsemi.com I was just looking for a datasheet for the AR0522. I was on Digikey looking to buy it, and their “datasheet” is only a summary. I wanted something that shows pins, interfaces and register level programming. I am looking at education on the Internet at all levels. One area where advances seem to be

Desting: Let Me Explain Why It Would Be Preferable To Colonize Titan Instead Of Mars at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_InuOf8u7e4 The deserts on Earth are a lot closer; would benefit humans and related DNA species immediately. And, planet Earth in the long run. People are planting billions of trees, but still not in a sustainable manner. You want

Lucy, I was just going over the potential impact of having memory and algorithms integrated directly with different kinds of sensors, where the whole is responsive to the needs of global society and all individuals – both human and true AIs. I expect picoMeter capabilities, it is just a matter of time. As the many

Sophien Kamoun @KamounLab I just published: What’s a toxic environment for a PhD student? Being aware of potential red flags when selecting a host lab is crucial. Here are some issues I’ve witnessed over the years. #phdchat #AcademicChatter Sophien, you might want to create a global open sharing site that will last hundreds of years,
