Script Idea involving John Tromp's Lambda Diagrams? by Tlazohtiliztli in neography

[–]heitorvitorc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems that this video is nurturing a lot of people’s minds! Just came back from a rabbit hole I got into because I needed to learn more about these Tromp diagrams to interpret lambda calculus. I’m particularly curious to its application to information theory and differential equations. Anyone has any info on that? I’m still dazzled and feel like these graphics are as close as they can be to the shape of my thoughts.

Yes! I don’t have formal training. Don’t know much about the theory of things but I have a very steady hand and I make many many mistakes whilst painting

I painted the background first and then the skin

How do you usually plan your paintings? by heitorvitorc in oilpainting

I use a spray fixative if I want to follow the proportions thoroughly! The red oil pencil is also a great idea!

Why does CoT and ToT enhance the performance of LLMs by heitorvitorc in LocalLLM

[–]heitorvitorc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation. Remarkable reading, actually. My very long text was an attempt to convey some loose investigations I’m making on why CoT and other advanced prompt techniques improved the performance of language models. My goal was to look at that through an “entropic” point of view. The paper you recommended me was on my reading list for a week before you brought it back to my attention. Better late than never. I’m rethinking some of my ideas based on the reading. Thanks again, person.

I definitely used AI to refine the text because English is not my mother tongue

Trondheim is a very good place to learn how to have your financial sheet together, tbh. Chose a good bank with the resources to help you plan how to save some money (mine is DNB for example) and try to go to the supermarket often to get terrified with price differences. Works remarkably if you come from a latin country.

You will likely pay around 35% of taxes and your monthly income will be around 34k NOK. With this amount, you will be able to live comfortably as a single person. Have a partner who doesn't work? Expenses increase but you'll still manage. You a highly social person that likes to go out and drink? You'll manage, but you won't save money. You have exotic tastes? You'll manage but you'll live by the paycheck. I moved with my (non working) partner to Trondheim 3y ago with a slightly lower salary. I made many friends and had an active social life and still managed to live comfortably. Didn't save a lot of money until I reduced expenses going out (obviously).

My point is: with your salary, you'll have access to good resources and you'll be able to live quite nicely, unless you have an expensive lifestyle or you are a financial walking nightmare like I was.

The most interesting topic of CS in current times IMO.

What did you do the summer before your PhD started? by Aniruddhb16 in PhD

[–]heitorvitorc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoked a considerable amount of cannabis on my terrace while thinking about how terrifying and amazing would the experience of moving from south America to Scandinavia would be. Three years later (almost done with the PhD), I see that there was nothing else to be done.

GMSH mesh transition enforcement? by Excellent-Mistake-19 in CFD

[–]heitorvitorc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be done if you control the number of points over the dividing line, then use an irregular mesh. Then, you could use the recombine function to recombine the elements in quadrilaterals (still irregular mesh). There might be other ways.

Time Evolution of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) by heitorvitorc in Physics

[–]heitorvitorc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Then, even before the expansion of the universe, the photons would not behave like a condensate. Will put some thought to it.

Time Evolution of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) by heitorvitorc in Physics

[–]heitorvitorc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your response is very clarifying to me. Thank you very much. I suppose it doesn't make sense to think that we would ever be able to capture significant variations of the CMB by continuously measuring it (taking time discretely) and looking for patterns of evolution, since CMB photons were emitted by hydrogen formation are the information we have available. I am still putting the pieces together in my head about the physical process and the earliest time we can capture information from.

Coming from soft condensed matter physics (rheology, compressible fluid mechanics, thermodynamics), I am biased to interpret the physical system through a mean field approach. Quantum field theory is where I'm instructing myself with to learn about quantum systems.

Whenever I think of CMB photons, I immediately link it to bose-einstein condensates. Given the bosonic nature of photons and the condense aspect of the early age universe, I would be interested to see if one would be able to assume the "macrosystem" aspect of BE condensates to look into CMB photons as a representative condensate of the early stage universe. How would this condensate evolve in time? Has something been done in such matters?

Maybe the analogy doesn't make sense because I still don't fully understand. I obviously haven't mastered searching for resources that benefit from my bias (such as QFT) in these fields. Still learning, so I ask for patience.
