On the Edge #23
Times are hard, but we’re trying to add good things to Eveince.
We built a new thing; It still needs work, but you can sign up and check it out. It’s an intuitive tool that helps to have a better grasp of risk. Ultimately we want to make it work like a map so you would use it to navigate your way out of confusing risks. https://eveince.com. Sharing your analysis will also be available in two weeks.
We started our partnership with Quantbase as our first step to be established in the US (SF) link
Open Assistant, open-source LLM with RLHF (ChatGPT) link
MusicLM by Google, Generate music with AI link
DeepMind has trained a new RL model called AdA (Adaptive Agent), which was an important achievement since it displayed human parity in terms of timescale adaption. link (When ImageNet showed human performance, we started to see broad deployments of image recognition applications, and when GPT3 showed human parity in text generation, large-scale deployments came to play.)

In On the Edge #18, I mentioned that I’m reading more about how women have been discriminated against: Do you know who discovered the DNA structure? (This structure opened the world of gene sequencing and gene editing, etc. )
Three men won the noble prize for the discovery: two molecular biochemists and one crystallographer (someone who takes images from microscopic microstructures). But the person who actually knew how to and did take the images was a woman named Rosalind Franklin, who was never mentioned until years later. link Many new methods are based on that discovery, including both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for COVID.
Following my research about talent, I found this paper that shows the difference between good and bad students mostly comes from initial knowledge and “indeed, anyone can learn anything they want.“ link (It’s just about good and bad students and exceptional talents or prodigies are different)
I was looking for parrots; this is a database that shows where you can find birds link
AI-generated Seinfeld 24/7 on twitch link
“No Bears“ and “Hit the Road“ are still getting good reviews from critics, but I wonder why they weren’t among the Oscar nominations.
I added these two movies to watch later, “Passages”, and “All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt“
New sounds link
Good Cuban band link (All of these Cuban bands sound like each other, but after a while, you develop an ear for it). I got to know them from this Tiny Desk link; two other bands from France and Brazil were good too.
