It doesn't look like the second has been cut off to get the first, because the font is different. It looks like the second was an attempt to extend the first (also, it kills the joke)
I could not catch that the circle meant the sun. I did catch seconds, minutes, day, month, and I deduced TK meant Tokyo and SF meant San Francisco and could not deduce the city ZG represents. So, I don' think you can actually be free of baggage.
Some minor things bugging me:
- The lines at the bottom don't align! Really annoying, I spent a lot of time trying to understand it meant something or not.
- Dark mode shows only 1 city. I could not understand what TK meant until I saw SF.
Some advice:
- Change the pictoric representation of the sun for something a bit more "sunny". Some flames feel like something not cultural (since there literally is solar activity at the surface), so aliens could get that it is the sun.
- In the intro you say there is a puzzle, but you don't say what the puzzle is. I thought it might be some interactive thing. It was only until I gave up I start reading the explanation and got that the puzzle is to understand how the clock works, given it has no cultural baggage. Then I went back to try to understand it. Maybe add a little explanation somewhere saying the intention.
My whole point is that it maybe possible to do perception using a lot of computational power, or alternatively, there could be another kind of smart ideas that allows to do it in a diferent way with much less computation. It is not clear it requires it.
Why should it have to be expensive computationally? How do brains do it with such a low amount of energy? I think catching the brain abilities even of a bug might be very hard, but that does not mean that there isn't a way to do it with little computational power. It requires having the correct structures/models/algorithms or whatever is the precise jargon.
I don't know much about this, but I understand Project Jupyter is Nonprofit. If I go to "jupyter.org" I see a tab "Community" and another "Governance". If I go to "deepnote.com" I see "Customers" and "Pricing".
Why would people want a standard to be controlled by a private company? I don't think the "Open-Sourcing" of it says enough. How does licensing work with formats or standards?
Yes, monkeys could write Shakespeare works given enough time.
But in this case, it is really hard to know if a model is identifying "correct answers" reliably. A lot of answers are really hard to qualify as correct or not when written by humans, much more when written by a machine trying to trick readers into thinking the answer is correct. It can be done, but I doubt LLM are being trained to identify the subtle differences between those types of potential answers.
I agree with most of what you said. However it is not correct to say they are executing algorithms, just as it is not correct to say that a water fountain is executing an algorithm.
I agree that the metaphor is good. The point is understood. However, the specific clothes that are considered OK in one context ore another are always changing and based in criteria that most of the time makes no sense.
