A Deep Dive into the Intervowen Complexities of Simulated Reality, Consciousness, and Emergence — Life imitates art far more than art imitates life -Oscar Wilde, “The Decay of Lying” I’ve always been interested in simulation theory. This talk by George Hotz specifically reignited my interest in the topic. In a world where the digital and physical realms are becoming ever more interwoven, the concept…

Thoughts on knowing what to optimize for — “Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you.” — Steve Jobs In the world of tech, innovation is driven by those who dare to think…

“It’s a new day in search. The race starts today… We’re going to move fast.” — Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO In recent years, the field of Artificial Intelligence has seen a rapid rise in the development of large language models. These models, based on deep learning techniques, have been trained…

“Life is the ultimate technology. Machine technology is a temporary surrogate for life technology. As we improve our machines they will become more organic, more biological, more like life, because life is the best technology for living.” — Kevin Kelly, founding executive editor of Wired magazine. A Blast from the Past ChatGPT, GPT-3, Stable Diffusion…

“The metaphysical explanation is that Roger Federer is one of those rare, preternatural athletes who appear to be exempt, at least in part, from certain physical laws.” — David Foster Wallace A Game of Inches Sunday, July 14th. Our living room was quiet. The match clock read 4:11. Two match…

Introduction In this tutorial, we will cover TensorFlow in enough depth so that you can train machine learning models from scratch! TensorFlow is Google’s flagship library for machine learning development. It is used both commercially and by developers for building and deploying machine learning modules. There are two broad versions of…

Nature isn’t classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it’s a wonderful problem, because it doesn’t look so easy. - Richard Feynman Motivation and Introduction Quantum Computing is a new paradigm of algorithmic study which extends quantum mechanical phenomena…

This article will tackle the subject of pose estimation and will analyze how it works and compare different approaches and their pros and cons in regards to computer vision. We will also analyze applications of this cool technology What is Pose Estimation? Simply put, pose estimation is the localization of human joints in either…

Motivation and Background One of my favorite quotes about machine learning is from Peter Norvig, current Google Head of AI: “We don’t have better algorithms, we just have more data.” Today, Artificial Intelligence is truly the new electricity and is lighting up new discoveries across both industry and academia. One major field in…
