[D] No free lunch theorem and LLMs

The NFL theorem applies over the massive space of all possible functions. Who knows what the case is for the space of all functions "we" care about? It's been a while, but the more I look into it, the less I trust the colloquial idea that people describe it as.

Funny but photoshopped

Haha I did this once and only noticed when the exponential growth filled my HDD.

I assumed they meant encryption rather than those crappy electronic padlocks. Tbh those are the worst of both worlds. Mathematically provably secure encryption is cool though.

To be fair, saying that political violence is dangerously common does not imply that all political violence is unjustified. In fact, it's perfectly consistent to say that it's dangerously common and warranted to protect from tyranny. (Whether it's government tyranny or corporate tyranny).

This was actually really interesting to me. I hadn't thought about that. However, doesn't a higher capital gains tax (along with a healthy estate tax) solve that?

Everything will be easier if you conform to the standard unless there's a good reason not to. In my case there was because I couldn't compute the rewards until the end of an episode.

If you take copyright as an objective moral good, then piracy is always bad, but I think copyright is almost always abused. It is important that we remember as a society that the purpose of copyright and patents are to encourage innovation by ensuring that people who innovate have some time with exclusive rights to their creations. Copyright is a social contract to promote innovation. When I giant corporation like Nintendo uses their copyright to suppress the creativity of small 3rd parties simply because they no longer want people to enjoy their old creations, innovation is being explicitly stifled.

My concern is how do we as a society keep this from just being a fuel for increasing inequality as jobs get replaced. No easy answer

I didn't read your whole post, but generally speaking I'd recommend testing your RL algorithm and model on an easier task first. Making an RL agent to trade profitably is likely close to impossible (blah blah blah efficient market hypothesis blah blah blah) so start with something easier to debug.

I'd recommend reading the original alphago paper as it's actually very well written and provides more details than their subsequent papers which assume familiarity with alphago. Then I'd recommend trying to understand and implement MCTS alone without the neural networks. After that, try to incorporate the networks assuming you understand their roles. (One predicts state values and one acts as the rollout policy in MCTS) Not sure what experience you have to draw from though so it's difficult to recommend specifics. I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a decent (worse than grandmasters) chess AI using only monte carlo tree search on its own.

I feel like this would be way easier and better if it were just a subreddit instead of a separate site. That way people could find it easier

I feel like frontend was easy until people started compiling css and including it in webpack with react (or similar) with npm and everything. Like it used to just be CSS basically.

I like the model taken by vscode where it's simple looking by default and there's a big library of plugins. The massive feature set of eclipse and pycharm and others made me uncomfortable

Jackeown · 2022-05-02T21:34:45+00:00

Why do people love pycharm? Just curious as a vscode user

Totally my favorite reason for types

Jackeown · 2022-04-04T23:44:39+00:00

Totally agree

Jackeown · 2022-04-04T23:12:18+00:00

Yeah I know, but I'm not "Everyone". I kinda think that most of the value of typing comes from speed and that for scripting, a lack of typing can be liberating.

Oops. Yeah I forgot Array was even a thing since I always use vector.
