The Sega Genesis was the last console with a "game console", "non-domestic-PC", and "non-toy" auras, for me.
At a non-internet time, game consoles were like magnets for socialization and for making friends through shared experiences.
I never knew who David Rosen was.
Unfortunately only today I know who he was.
And he was the kind of person that did significant work that influenced and nourished the imagination and experiences of many young people and adults.
Thanks a lot for Sega, for the arcades, for the Master System, for Akai Koudan Zillion and for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Mr. David Rosen.
Rest in peace.
Sony bricked my WF-1000XM4 by overheating its batteries. Some users reported things melting.
$250,00 of my work straight to the trash bin.
Thank you Sony...not.
"Over more than a decade there has been an extensive research effort on how to effectively utilize recurrent models and attention. While recurrent models aim to compress the data into a fixed-size memory (called hidden state), attention allows attending to the entire context window, capturing the direct dependencies of all tokens. This more accurate modeling of dependencies, however, comes with a quadratic cost, limiting the model to a fixed-length context. We present a new neural long-term memory module that learns to memorize historical context and helps attention to attend to the current context while utilizing long past information. We show that this neural memory has the advantage of fast parallelizable training while maintaining a fast inference. From a memory perspective, we argue that attention due to its limited context but accurate dependency modeling performs as a short-term memory, while neural memory due to its ability to memorize the data, acts as a long-term, more persistent, memory. Based on these two modules, we introduce a new family of architectures, called Titans, and present three variants to address how one can effectively incorporate memory into this architecture. Our experimental results on language modeling, common-sense reasoning, genomics, and time series tasks show that Titans are more effective than Transformers and recent modern linear recurrent models. They further can effectively scale to larger than 2M context window size with higher accuracy in needle-in-haystack tasks compared to baselines."
You're welcome and I'm glad you appreciated.
Also, thank you for your insights.
About "Open Insight", I think it's not so open at the moment, since I couldn't find any kind of code repository. Maybe it is at an early design phase.
Decidim.org is made with Ruby on Rails (good for fast prototyping, but a questionable choice for a critical system, IMHO).
I think those investing efforts and time developing participatory democracy systems, are trying to solve these kind of communication and reasoning problems.
IMHO the advancements in technology related with industries in which the end product is digital (movies, animation, texts, programs, etc.,) instead of fundamental spatial services like automation of food productions, cleaning, garbage collection, house building, etc., is a direct consequence of physical space being a luxury around the world, with housing and renting prices skyrocketing.
The Garage Culture is a privilege of few.
Most working-class people are accepting to live into small boxes without space for even a table destined to drawing, reading and studying. Instead, they soon will use virtual desktops inside cheap Chinese Apple Vision Pros clones. Life will get harder and unhealthier.
While designers and some scientists know the importance of physical areas for developing certain activities, most people don't and are subjecting themselves and their children to sad living conditions.
My yahoo e-mail account was Yahoo-ed (one day, I logged in on it to find Yahho deleted all my e-mails (some of then important and others of sentimental value), due to account inactivity for a new arbitrary number of days not previously informed.
Recently I bought a paper notebook and pens to make companion to my ipad+pencil+OneNote combo, for my Rust programming studies and anotations.
Before buying the notebook I researched what kind of notebook Einstein used to work on. Spyral x brochure, kind of paper and size were considered.
Something was off with the digital solution. I can't ellaborate exactly what was/is the problem, but I'm not abandning it. I use it when it feels more up to the task (ex:storing images and coying a big text from the internet).
