Algorithm Distillation paper shows that transformers can improve themselves autonomously through trial and error without ever updating their weights.

This might be the beginning of a new learning paradigm drastically faster than SGD.

@yogthos it's intriguing, but bizarre. I dove in... And then could return to the surface.

@yogthos it's intriguing, but bizarre. I dove in... And then couldn't return to the surface. And as I drown in Russian wit, I still don't know what quanta is. A platform? A downloadable fediverse app? A CMS? Thinking tool?

Transition from feudalism to capitalism retained the fundamental relationship between the exploiter and the exploited classes. Excerpt from ca1lib.org/book/16673626/10d69

“The class structure of feudal society stems from the following features of the latter. Firstly, the feudal economy was natural, tending to be self-sufficient. Secondly, the means of exploitation under feudalism was binding the peasants to the soil. The feudal lord who owned the land allowed plots of land to the peasants so that they should work for him. To get the surplus product, he had to have on his land peasants who had plots, implements and animals. A peasant who has no plot, no horse, no farm, is not a suitable object of exploitation.  Thirdly, the peasant was personally dependent on the lord. As he had land, he only worked for the landlord under compulsion. The feudal economic system rests on extra-economic compulsion, serfdom, the peasants’ legal dependence on the landlord, and their underprivileged position.   Under capitalism. society's class structure underwent a change. The feudal lord and the serf were replaced by the capitalist and the worker. Compared with the slave, who was wholly dependent on the slave-owner, or with the underprivileged serf, the worker is legally free. Nevertheless, his dependence on the capitalist is as great, only its form is different.

@yogthos I've been predicting this for twenty years. DNA is clearly a Turing machine (not necessarily U), and it builds physical structures from chemicals.

As any Turing-equivalent machine can encode any other Turing machine (whether equivalent or not), it's been inevitable that we'd eventually learn to do this in software (although I guessed we'd do it by reverse engineering DNA).

Still, brilliant to see it working!

@yogthos digital art of backlit trees, conveying a very calm mood.
#1: in different shades of purple, shows coniferous trees and a pale sun
#2: shades of yellow and orange and besides coniferous trees there is also a deciduous tree that has lost its leaves and a bird
#3: cool green tones, the trees look like pines.
#4: orange and red, only the tall, slender trunks of trees and no treetops are in the picture, and a small person walking around in between.

@yogthos Damn, that was close.

Wonder if the US will try to fudge some "lost votes we just found in the back of the counting room!"

You know, like they tried to for their own election in 2020?

@yogthos amazing footage! I’m definitely using this as inspiration for my little sci-fi world set on the moon I’ve recently started worldbuilding (can you use that as a verb?) again!
