TP3 is a pinnacle of storytelling.

New prompt to try out in midjourney

Ever wanted to do deep learning with a neural net that is one-to-one mapped to 65.05% of the fruit fly brain? 😄 Before this year ends, I will quickly advertise our code release of `flyvis.` Docs: t.ly/YqWzR Repo: t.ly/pMWpp Work with @jakhmack.bsky.social, @srinituraga.bsky.social and colleagues

Mars Express is the most cyberpunk animation I've seen since Ghost in the Shell. I'm amazed by the attention to detail, the depth of the characters, and the supremacy of style above all else—not to mention the stunning animation.

Statistical analysis, archaeology, class struggle, mysterious Ismaili games from India: Board Game Studies is easily my all-time favorite journal, tied only with Lingua Aegyptia. Finally getting around to reading Vol 18 from Oct ‘24. sciendo.com/issue/BGS/18/1

I like the way the Christian author of *The Cloud of Unknowing* describes contemplative prayer: "Come to rest in a naked, blind feeling of your own being, and let go of the conceit that it's yours."* _____ * "conceit" is how you spelled "concept" in Middle English

You will be visited by three ghosts

And that night when the Holy Spirit descends upon people

Yay!

Science slowly catching up with an idea that emerged 25 hundreds yrs ago in Gangetic Plain.

Observing model's convergence is like looking at fire

Great sources re baroque music

Mona Lisa overdrive vibes

good day youtu.be/GP6HCykNy3A?...

It's all little gnomes pulling levers behind the curtain

I will soon delete all my twitter posts, so in the next few days I will be recycling some of my most liked tweets, in random order. The first one had to be a shitpost, of course

s1 was a good idea badly implemented. it looks like its not going to change in s2.

Monitoring for dummies 1. Basic stuff - How many people use it - How fast it answers - If it crashes 2. What goes in - Check what users ask - Look for bad requests - Watch for attacks 3. What comes out - Are answers good? - Do they make sense? - Are they safe?

punching above your weight is a useful reframing for impostor syndrome

attention is all you need

A simple experiment you can do is buy a server, set up a website with nothing on it, then look at the access logs. All day, every day, there are random systems just blasting vulnerabilities at every device on the internet. Analysts call it "background noise", executives call it "cyber attacks".

looks great! would be even better if all data stayed on localhost though

My thought for this Tuesday ☕️☕️☕️

tell the ai compliance team in the bank you are going to use a bandit algorithm to optimize the model

what a trip...

This is such an interesting project!:

We all know what 3D printing is, and 2D printing is obviously paper, which means print("Hello world") is 1D printing.

This.
