Okay, but can you elaborate on "PostgreSQL + AI".

This maybe seems like a dumb question if you spend your life thinking about it, but I'm not seeing what the interesting relationship is between those two things.

I already told you I don't want to talk about this here and now. It is not dumb but it is disrespectful to demand explanations from strangers, like I have time for this.

So many keywords and not a lot of info about what this actually does. I am feeling more and more that most AI stuff being funded now is just crypto 2.0.
KrugerDunnings · 2 years ago
Well it's there in the name, they add machine learning to Postgres. They are not the only ones doing this, I am working on a similar idea and I don't think all of us are as misguided as the crypto bros of 2022. This is as much about Postgres as it is about AI. No one has yet successfully communicated what those in the know are seeing, and it is sort of hard to explain but relational databases are a good match for AI. Personally my strategy is to try to build compelling application instead of an infrastructure play, but to each its own and I wish them the best.

Or some terminal graphics protocol, which is more efficient than sixels: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/

That be fine also. I've been playing around with sixel and it's a great way to add plotting to a repl.

I'd love some sixel support to embedded graphics in the terminal

Stimulating different parts of the body stimulates different parts of the brain[1]. Through cross talking neurones this might influence parts of your brain to be rewired differently and relieve some over burdened circuits, just like it might happen with traumatic events, but the rigour and precision by which this can be done is still very much an open question.

KrugerDunnings commented on Why are so many giants of AI getting GPTs so badly wrong?   medium.com/@fergal.reid/w... · Posted by u/vinnyglennon

The man has his points, and his takedown of behaviorism is still excellent, but no one has found any trace of universal grammar. And while GPTs have a crude world model at best, you can't fault their understanding of syntax, developed without any prior model at all. On this matter I would not have too much faith in Chomsky's analysis. And he is regardless just not a "big name in AI"! He never even claimed to be!
KrugerDunnings · 2 years ago
Universal grammar in the way that Chomsky suggested, a sort of structure all humans must have in there brain, is not a thing. But I believe there is something like the "universality of grammar" where the human vision system or motor system can have a grammatical quality to them. In that sense that there is ambiguity in which tree structure represent the world. I've seen this in many places but I am not sure if someone has put this into (better) writing.

Thanks, I was rather involved in the research community. It has little to do with parsing text NLP-style. It has everything to do with annotating documents with formally structured KR data, or embedding the same into them.

In fact, my own involvement in the field started with Jim Hendler suggesting I look into the possibility of developing a spider that would wander across HTML pages and glean knowledge from them with an NLP technique. I worked on that for a while, then abandoned it and proposed to him instead that web pages should be marked up with formally parseable structured semantic data. Why parse a student's page saying he "Goes to U Maryland" when he could just write <claim obj1="me" obj2="UMaryland" rel="attend" ontology="http://ontology.org/university-ontology/">. That was 1995.

Well I am at least glad that someone name drops someone other then TBL.

Interesting, everstrike is a option market that sells a type of option they call an everlasting option. They say it was co-invented by non other than SBF: https://www.paradigm.xyz/2021/05/everlasting-options

That's not what the semantic web is about at all. It has nothing to do with text.
