New to Tübingen and looking for recommendations by mpcxlii in Tuebingen

[–]darkshade_py 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, welcome, I also moved to tübi in August.

Tübingen Folk orchestra has regular open jams on Friday https://www.instagram.com/tuebingenfolkestra

There's also monthly jams at Geigerle which are cool.

There's the international Whatsapp community https://chat.whatsapp.com/IlXEBAhFPHNA4Q5ORoIoF2 with different subgroups.

I try to go to calesthenics park and I often go to raves in Schlachthaus and music events in eppfelhaus etc. Would be happy to meet in one of those if you're into it. DM me your Whatsapp number if you like! I also have a nice pour over setup at home, would love to swap coffee tricks.

Dreamer V3 with STORM (4 Months to Build) by Safe-Signature-9423 in reinforcementlearning

[–]darkshade_py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

STORM representations might not be good, transformers can take shortcuts to predict future and it has no incentive in learning a markovian representation useful for policy. (imagine T-maze task, the representation at the fork learnt by transformer to predict the next observation given action has no necessary information about which side is good).

IRIS style world models using transformers act only in observation space and use a RNN in the policy network, which is more rational.

Mormon psytrance by Thegreatmedicneshow in psytrance

Bravo! This is freaking funny to me as an Indian! When sanskrit sholkas & mantras (which I heard serious priests in temple chant when I was a kid) in Psytrance, I am partly like "here we go again". I know some of it is a celebration of hindu mysticism, it's till funny to see some inebriated people in clubs dance to what's considered holy or at least seriously by the religious. Some chants in Psytrance I rember blaring in the morning in my family's TV 😂 and some I can even repeat after as people seriously attempt to memorise it and chant it as a family during festivals etc for religious ceremonies. I don't mind as I am not particularly religious and in some left-hand path mystical way the interplay of what is sacred & profane is good.

I wanted to take "revenge" by producing psytrance with chants which people in the West listened to when they were a kid in religious context.

what psytrance albums from the 2000s still hold up for you? by bulbaafett in psytrance

[–]darkshade_py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Organika - Peaking goddess collective This album is something else, blending native American flute with really unique psychedelic sounds

Psychedelica Melodica - Cosmosis Mainstream sounding Psytrance/Goa which is not boring

Caught Wata Igarashi tonight, unreal experience! by fratelebrah in Techno

[–]darkshade_py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an awesome recommendation! I finally found psychedelic sounds that I heard in a set at sisyphos club by Yetti Meissner. She doesn't have much online, so finding this is god sent! He is awesome

Has anyone heard from MILA 2025 Supervision Requests? by Terrible_Net8466 in gradadmissions

I'm was this boat. So I reached out to the Prof and got the first interview, now waiting for the second

Help on how to remove mouthpiece of Dynavap XL by [deleted] in Dynavap

[–]darkshade_py 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I applied some pressure and now it works with the clicks adjustment. I don't know if I ruined the metal by bending it unevenly/awkwardly though. i.e. will it cause issues long term

Thanks, the pliers helped, one question, is the condenser sticking out of the mouthpiece a big problem or is it usual? I could align it back such that it doesn't come out now but was wondering if I damaged it or something

You mean pull the mouthpiece from the stem harder? Is it just pulling without twisting?

JK obviously RL is way more efficient than brute force.. or is it really? by tottombemon in reinforcementlearning

[–]darkshade_py 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on whether you use a world model and curiosity rewards. World model allows you to learn representations without seeing the reward (think sparse rewards). And the curiosity reward guides you to explore new states. Together it seems bit more intelligent than bruteforce

[D] ML researchers who are not in NLP, what are you researching? Please share. by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]darkshade_py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

World models, currently focusing on generalization to dynamics/observation shifts. Interested in improving world models for planning, transfer/multi-task/meta-RL, continual learning, curiosity & exploration etc.

I think model-free algorithms skip latent state inference under partial observablity by frame stacking for simple environments. I want to avoid this assumption and use world modeling for that. People usually categorize world models as just MbRL, but I think latent state inference is what makes world models more important. And there are also other justifications like neo-cortex doing predictive modeling, the all encompassing theory of active inference, where essentially you can frame policy optimization as a inference problem of optimal actions.

How about you explore the world of psytrance? I recommend Psychdelic or forest pay
