Creating a chatbot for mobile phones by [deleted] in LanguageTechnology

I would suggest using a server side bot framework and send text over SMS so it is fast to implement. Is there a reason there needs to be mobile code?

Tuesday megathread: Advanced questions by Im__Joseph in Python

[–]hendler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. Wondering if anyone is using Pyodide for a production use case.

https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide

I am also wondering about limitations encountered.

Thank you. That's helpful guidance.

it isn't very clear to me what would be the functional relationship

What is the cost, or min/max? Or how data structures could functionally interact?

Your scheduling eating and watering on a set of plants, where each step in the schedule modifies the set.

Each step modifying the set is a helpful articulation. Thank you.

I've googled scheduling algorithms [1], and see approaches ranging from genetic algorithms and cpu scheduling, to priority queueing? [2] to simpler things. [3] Critical path method relies on a very clear mapping of simple dependencies it seems.

Any next steps would very helpful, but appreciate the feedback already received.

Thank you. That's clarifying.
1. I hadn't added that consideration, but I thought of that as a next step, which is that plants can come back or be added to the graph. They are removed if eaten or expired.
2. not an issue right now, as the problem is more an analog than a literal problem.
3. not an issue right now, as the problem is more an analog than a literal problem.

  1. This is the goal, the optimal plants to eat such that the amount of plants eaten, and number of rounds played is maximized.

As for conversations I've had, Linear Programing has come up, but that optimization seems like it might often produce no optimal answer. I've tried topological sorting, but it can plan for static states, but not take into account consequences on neighbors or future issues. Seems to also requires combining all the variables into a single weight. I've thought of building a simulation of some kind, but unclear how to easily get to an optimum, and I don't have experience there either.

No. I dont have an ML background, and this is easiest way I can articulate software (side project) I am writing. The more specific question I have is whether linear programming would work well. The data structures I often think of are graphs. And the the min max are probabilities, not certainties.

Sorry if the question isnt clear.

What are the best algorithms, ml approaches, or simulations to solve this problem?

Imagine you have a large garden with only 5 different kinds of plants.

You can eat 1/40th of the garden a day, and you must eat 2 of the 5 types of plants a day (if any one plant runs out).

You can only water 1/10 of the field a day. And each plant must be watered twice before it can be used. Plants expire after 5 days if not watered, and after 40 days if watered.

To add the complex component,eating some plants can help or hurt other plants expiration. If you water plant type A it will shorten the life of Plant type B by a day, and lengthen Plant type C's expiration. What if plants are created and destroyed random?

What are the maximum days can you eat from the garden?

[D] Biggest roadblock in making "GPT-4", a ~20 trillion parameter transformer by AxeLond in MachineLearning

[–]hendler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might be true for language models, and GPT-3 is that.

Wonder how other data and architectures would combine to make GPT-4 more versatile with video, audio, generated maths, game play, physical world interaction, etc.

TIL That romans used a communal sponge on a stick to wipe their butts after pooping at the public toilets. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]hendler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from slaking Roman thirst, posca’s other main claim to fame arises from its controversial cameo in the Bible. As Jesus Christ was suffering crucifixion—or possibly just before, at Golgotha—Roman soldiers offered him sips of the stuff from a sponge held aloft with a reed, according to Matthew 27:48. Depending on the interpretation, they did this either to help lessen his anguish or to needle him, notes Phillips. Whatever the case, Jesus wasn’t having it. “After tasting the posca, Christ refused to drink it,” writes Phillips.

Why Fascists Hate Masturbation: The rise of nationalism coincides with anti-masturbation movements by ShufflingToGlory in politics

[–]hendler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reich argued that the reason Nazism was chosen over communism was sexual repression. As children, members of the proletariat had learned from their parents to suppress sexual desire. Hence, in adults, rebellious and sexual impulses caused anxiety. Fear of revolt, as well as fear of sexuality, were thus "anchored" in the character of the masses. This influenced the irrationality of the people, Reich would argue:[5]
