I am working on RL and robotics. I came across Levin in Lex's podcast. And then went on a binge of his other podcast appearences. I agree totally with you, I would very much like to build agents that adapt to different circumstances li

Have you checked RSSM approach in DreamerV1,V2,V3,PlaNet? It uses deterministic (GRU hidden state) and discrete stochastic latent states. The deterministic and stochastic (sampled) latent state are used to predict the next state. I think th

One interesting research group tackling this question is ex-computer engineer, currently biologist Prof. Micahel Levine's group. They built xenobots (biological robots) from frog cells which are not evolutionarily programmed to do task

Worth checking out farcaster (farcaster.xyz). They are working towards a solution where things are "sufficiently decentralised". The server admins can't prevent users from following one another etc. https://www.var

Does apple even encrypt the actual image data on device? Their system document says "payload = visual derivative + neural hash" and only that is encrypted with a secondary level encryption. And they didn't go through with e2e

His narrative pushing feels nefarious to me. I think he is using his new tech podcast (all-in) as a new platform to build a image of a pragmatic do-gooder billionare (to whomever who would buy that shtick), spin a new narrative and test o

I have experience in deep learning research/engineering in NLP and am getting into ml for robotics. Really excited for this course + hardware. I think one top value for me personally is that more time could be spent on hacking the ml a

If uber/lyft doesn't allow their drivers to price themselves and not treat them as employers, they are more or less a cartel rather than a marketplace connecting buyers and sellers of a service. Maybe they can show a optimal price

Same thing happened to me. I was using org-mode for GTD and note-taking for the past six months. I shifted all my notes to org-roam with links between them. But then I tried roam, it's UX really won over me. One thing was accessing my

Lex, you're doing an amazing job. The level of commitment and hard work you put in to make this podcast is incredible. On the technical depth side criticism you're getting, I would say the one with Ian Goodfellow had optimal balan

This one isn't a Cartel as its like a taxi company but co-owned by workers. But Uber could be considered a cartel because they don't consider the car drivers as workers, so they are effectively setting prices for the market of dr
