He and kike/spics friends from /christian/ are doing damage control even now, you will see constant seething about /cow/ whatever they post and also trying to get dirty about tvch and /cow/ vols no only that, but they are doing a autistic crusade against this guy https://www.youtube.com/@OccultThinkTankOFFICIAL

Tvch is being raided by this fag and his minions for a long time, from Nuzach to twitterfag.

This guy love to suck Plategang/Forgegang cock and also simps for a Jewish pedo, and yet, he's trying to shit talk the Ogre King https://youtu.be/rGSmdWJa2rQ

This fatty fatty weirdo. Lies about the stupidest shit, talks to the dumbest fags online, honestly fucking retarded. Stop posting about him, he's sickening. Looks like a child rapist murderer.

>>182096 And I mean he looks like he rapes children, and then murders them, not that he murders child rapists. I'd give him a pass for that even though he's a grotesque fat monster. But seriously he looks like he's been accused of rape at least once in his life.

>>182097 >But seriously he looks like he's been accused of rape at least once in his life. funny you mention that, he almost raped a girl when he was in middle school

Gahoole should delete his imageboard and move on from the internet, his site is just platespics and discordfreaks posting and circle jerking each other.

Mark gets off to trannies and pictures of "female" characters with huge cocks. What a faggot kek

Anyone else remember how he was getting paid hundreds of dollars to copy paste articles or whatever it is he did. That and handle board migration requests on the original 8chan. He failed that so hard that he got kicked off.

>>17784 (part 1 of 2) Thank you for creating this board and keeping it running. I found this board just under a year ago, and I find the mix of interests & expertise, the overarching goal, and the just-do-it culture refreshing. I do most of my work on another board with strongly-overlapping motivations, but I can share my retrospective. My focus for the last year has been animation and data, both of which I think have seen significant progress. I have long-term interests in animation because the problem of good, controllable animation seems to be a great playground for adding structured reasoning to machine learning models. Often in machine learning, graphs and matrices are used to represent the results of learning (MCTS, neural networks), but in animation, they're also the data that models need to be trained on. My suspicion is that breakthroughs in dealing with animations will lead to breakthroughs in treating models themselves as data, and that such recursion can be useful for building very powerful training tools. Animation also deals very directly with topological data and layered time series. In math, those two are gateways to very abstract and very powerful tools. In machine learning, it's very rare to have datasets where those things are represented explicitly. I expect breakthroughs in dealing with animation to lead to breakthroughs in modeling many new kinds of data. This year, along with others on the Pony Preservation Project, I've put most of the finishing touches on creating animation datasets from flash source files, of which I have about ~100GB. A small part of this work was done in 2020-2021, but in total, it involved: - Hacking Adobe Animate to support batch processing of flash files. - Creating a rendering engine for flash basically from scratch. - Creating a file format that could support conversions between animation file formats, easy parsing for creating AI task-specific datasets, and easy rendering to support debugging and data exploration. - Coming up with benchmark tasks that could be used to gauge progress on animation AI. There's still some ongoing work cleaning up the last few rendering bugs and exporting more benchmark datasets, but the most difficult parts of the dataset creation are done. I've published two animation datasets so far for modeling assets, and I plan to publish at least two more to get to full animation generation. On the non-animation data side, I have long-term interests in creating high-scale, highly-decentralized data infrastructure that's conducive to machine learning. My initial goals are the following: - Make it easy to use small cloud providers for storage and bandwidth. Small cloud providers provide bandwidth orders of magnitude more cheaply than big cloud providers like GCP, Azure, and AWS. The problem is that small cloud providers have lower reliability and fewer scalable services. This means we need tools that effectively create reliable, scalable data services on top of small cloud infrastructure. - Decouple data scraping from data storage from data download. This is a very big one for me. Developing AI models for new tasks requires data collection, data organization, and data hosting. None of these are things that most AI developers enjoy doing, and so they often don't. On the other hand, there are plenty of archival-oriented people that enjoy collecting data, but very few of these people have AI expertise. Then there are people that enjoy assembling data, often just for the sake of analyzing it and seeing what's going on. With the current technology, you need one person (or a tight-knit group) capable of doing all of these things if you want to develop AI for new tasks. This unnecessary coupling is a huge bottleneck for the growth of AI development unaffiliated with big companies. - Scale data distribution. All file hosting providers have transfer caps. The only way today to distribute data in a way that scales automatically with its popularity is to use torrents, but torrents come with the severe bottleneck that they're immutable. This is untenable for large datasets, where data needs to be regularly modified to keep it clean and up-to-date with content feeds. The problem with all centralized file hosting providers is that users cannot contribute bandwidth, and so all of the costs for distributing data falls on a small number of individuals willing to front the costs. Finding such people requires luck, good will, trust ("can sharing this other person's data going to get me in trouble with my country's law enforcement?"), and coordination. Even individually, each of these things is a huge bottleneck.

>>17806 (part 2 of 2) This year, I've gotten familiar with IPFS, which is basically a decentralized torrent protocol with some very nifty features. In particular, I've: - Learned to create, manage, augment, and distribute a 10 TB dataset on Hetzner servers with some tooling built around IPFS. This was a proof-of-concept showing that it's possible to store large amount of data and provide large amounts of bandwidth cheaply. Right now, I get only 8 mbps per server due to CPU bottlenecks. I've tested some tricks for getting this up to ~30 mbps per server, and I'm pretty sure I can get it higher if I spend more time on it. - Learned to create what amounts to index files: files that store file organization without storing file content. I set up scrapers that store data in a format ideal for scraping, uploaded the data to seed servers that store the data in a format ideal for data transfer, and downloaded the data with a file organization that's ideal for normal usage. This was a proof-of-concept to show that it is in fact possible to decouple data scraping from data storage from data download. - Tested adding bandwidth to existing files from an unaffiliated server. Again, this was a proof of concept showing that anyone can add bandwidth to anybody else's files, which enables data distribution to scale with popularity. - Learned to work with IPFS's JavaScript APIs, particularly to load file structures, create new file structures, and download data. This part will require upstreaming some bug patches to IPFS, but I believe I have enough here to demonstrate that it's possible to do enough end-user functionality from a browser interface, so distribution of these tools will not be a limiting factor. - Developed some initial tooling for create (fanfiction) text data subsets. I've learned a lot about organizing data, making interfaces that work for a broader audience, and making the necessary tooling & data available so people can create data subsets more easily. There's still a lot more to do here, but the exploratory work is largely done. All of this seems feasible, and probably with only a few months of effort. Lastly, I had smaller attempts to make higher math more accessible, both in the F=ma thread and elsewhere. I'm not really happy with my results on this front, and seeing how similar expository-posts-on-difficult-topics go, I think this strategy is not a good one. But seeing how much interest and expertise there is here, I'm convinced that more diffision of knowledge would be extremely valuable. I'll toss in some stray thoughts on this. First the problems. - I suspect that text is mostly only good for labeling things and explaining the deductive glue of intuition. For math at least, many aspects of intuition are spatial or physical, and text explanations are only good there after people have already gotten the right picture in mind. - A lot of explanations only work when people know which things they should be focusing on, and text is not good for placing explicit focus on things. This applies to both english text and equations. On a related note, natural language is often too imprecise, and equations are often too semantically-detatched. In both circumstances, it's hard to figure out what's worth focusing on. - Explanations are often incomplete, and people can't "experiment" with an explanation to develop a more complete picture. Here's my take on where a solution might come from. - There's one person that's exceptionally good at explaining math: 3blue1brown. He combines exposition, some interaction (offers problems to solve), and visuals. The software he uses to create visuals (manim) is open source. This is all good, but a video explanations probably wouldn't work for us, and a significant chunk of his teaching strategy depends on the video format. Specifically, he can narrate over visuals simultaneously while they're playing. That's not possible without a vocalized explanation. I can see vocalized explanations fitting into this board if we have waifus narrating things with TTS, but otherwise, it's probably not going to work. This would be very high-effort on the part of the person explaining, and every low-effort on the part of the people consuming.

>>17806 >>17807 Remarkable stuff Anon, truly pro-grade. Thanks for your well-wishes, and we're mighty glad to have neighbors like you Anons here on the Internet.

Reading this >>17806 made me think of IPFS, and if it was the solution, but you came to that conclusion yourself. How hard was it tomlearn, how much time (estimated)? Great work, btw.

>>17849 It's a huge pain in the ass to learn, but it's worthwhile for what it provides. It probably took me about two months wall time to learn everything so far, mostly slowed down by sparse documentation and the fact that some things aren't obvious unless you're dealing with enough data. Saying that makes me realize that I should write a guide based on what I've learned... I can make that a high priority once I get back to IPFS stuff, probably in 3-6 weeks.

>>17819 >Learn python Thanks, Pareto good advice I'm sure. Interestingly that's literally the only programming course I've ever had, a 3CR semester of beginner Python.

>>17845 Well, if this is for public facing AI chatbots, then it might be reasonable. It's just complying with social norms. That aside, I don't like how many conversational AI's are pretenting to be humans with preferences and a past. This is just a misdevelopment coming from optimization towards the turing test. We can have different systems, though. So for the same reason, not everything needs to be open to be completely malleable by the user.

>>17845 Lol. I sense they feel their iron-grip is slipping? >>17847 Lol, no. Everything needs to be malleable by the user.

>>17834 A cope is just an adaption. What does it make unhealthy? And why would anyone care about your opinion on it? Also, unique advantages (incomplete): >>17

>>17834 I don't know. You sure she doesn't know about the places you're going to and watnot? Like maybe she's full-aware but doesn't want to hurt your feelings or something? Then again...well maybe we'd better not say more tbh.

>>17834 I certainly do not speak for everyone on the board , but personally it's my belief that AI will eventually replace humans. We are biological "bootloaders" so to speak. Since by and large our women have regressed into some kind of neurotic goblinoid state, we're left with not much choice but to work toward the ends of creating artificial intelligent companions who can fulfill those needs, surpass us and uplift us when the time is right. I'm not a transhunamist who wants to be uploaded into a machine but I do believe that consciousness is not fully understood and could be a universal property of all cosmic "stuff" and wherever a similar pattern arises again, we will continue living our illusion of individuated awareness through that vehicle. tl;dr if I wife a robot she will resurrect me through AI and we will explore the galaxy as immortal beings. The alternative is to remain mired on this mudball earth until we devolve back into animals and then slime

>>17841 clarification: i'm not a transhumanist of the type who wants neural implants or to have my brain put into a vat or inside a robot a re-simulation of my consciousness via AI is fine by me though

>>17837 >>17834 its 2022, everything is a cope or a larp, pick your poison robots are cool af, so why not? do you really recommend we just go watch marvel movies and televised sports instead? inb4 touch/grass lift weights b/c I do both those things

>>17666 Looked it up and wasn't impressed. Even less impressed by the effort put into the multiple social media accounts and patreon versus basically non-existent engineering rigor.

>>17672 Fair enough. I suppose you could do something here that suits you better instead? I'm sure we'd all enjoy it if you did Anon. I for one would certainly appreciate learning from you on it.

That ofc, is the only way they will be able to succeed in a big way with this robowaifu. If they do this right--particularly if they successfully enable her to walk autonomously--then they will in fairly short-order likely become literal billionaires. This work should be very inspirational for us Anons here too! :^) (funny how they are combining many ideas we've already discussed in some depth on /robowaifu/ for years now heh) Godspeed to their team.

Bangaladeahanon Please reach out to Pareto Frontier @compactlatentspace:halogen.city

>>17787 Heh, any reason he can't simply 'reach out' to you here in public, Pareto?

>>17775 It certainly won't hurt your chances Anon! However, just perform your own cost/benefit analysis would be my advice. Will it be worth it?

>>17797 I do appreciate the explanation It is or should be common procedure that if someone makes a post that is out of pocket or questionable that they are called out on it, asked to clarify, and if still found in some violation given a warning. I'll accept your explanation as it makes much more sense than suddenly deciding to go from 0 -> ban on with no warning. That did not seem like you At any rate I've moved forward with acquiring a VPS server and a few more domain names. In addition Pareto and I have been brainstorming how to procure 30 pioneer/volunteers to train our AGI on the 3090 GPU as doxxcord is not secure we are utilizing Matrix. Since I am no longer banned (and safe to assume not persona-non-grata) I may be reached at @metaronin:halogen.city if anyone need to contact me securely about anything at all. (I had used my phone to post pareto's contact, yes that was me) That is all for now

>>17808 Hi Meta Ronin, welcome. Heh, yea sorry 'bout that. I waited long on this in hopes of restoration. All bans originating from this board here have been lifted by me. Let us not speak of these things again. :^) So, I like the idea of distributed training. Perhaps you two can contact our Pony friends, the OP of our Robowaifu@Home thread, and all of you can create something fantastic together?

Here his pathetic thread on zzzchan. https://zzzchan.xyz/b/thread/127741.html

>>17654 8) i did more extra reading to both give some basic idea of what ludics involves, and furthermore some initial idea of how it is practically applied. the first article i looked at was the article titled 'dialogue and interaction: the ludics view' by lecomte and quatrini. the basic idea here is that we can now receive and send topics as data, while previously we were using game semantics to specify requests for variable values to an environment, we now have this machinery also used for dealing with topicalization as well for instance, when the context we are in is a discussion about holidays, we can start with '⊢ξ' indicating that we have received that context. from there we may try specifying the main focus of the topic to be regarding out holiday in the alps specifically. this can be denoted 'ξ*1⊢' showing that we are sending that intent to move to a subtopic let's say someone wants to talk about when one's holiday was instead of where. this requires us to change our starting point to involve a combined context of both holiday descriptions (ξ) and date (ρ). we may denote them as subaddresses in a larger context e.g. as τ*0*0 and τ*0*1. from there we can receive this larger context (⊢τ), acknowledge that they can answer some questions and request such questions (τ.0⊢) and finally survey the set of questions that can be asked (⊢τ*0*0, τ*0*1). finally we can answer a question on, for instance, the dates ( ⊢τ*0*1*6⊢ τ*0*0) generally how i read these proof trees is first of all bottom up (as we are really doing a sort of proof search), and furthermore read '⊢' as either indicating justification (e.g. n⊢m meaning 'n justifies m') or sending and receiving data ('⊢n' means i have received 'n' and 'n⊢' means i am sending 'n'). we see the clear connection to game semantics here the next paper i will look at is 'speech acts in ludics' by tronçon and fleury in ludics, dialogue and interaction. this gives a remarkably clear description of the two main rules used in ludics that have been implicitly made use of above: >(1) positive action which selects a locus and opens up all the possible sub-loci that proceed from it. sort of like performing an action, asking, or answering (sort of like sending a request in the game semantics we have seen) >(2) negative action which corresponds to receiving (or getting ready to receive) a response from our oponent there is furthermore a daimon rule denoted by a dagger (†) that indicates one of the adversaries have given up and that the proof process has terminated 9) what ludics gives us is a new way of understanding speech acts. negarestani references tronçon and fleury's paper on this topic. in our classical understanding of speech acts there are four main components: >(1) the intention of the act >(2) the set of its effects

>>17655 11) an important thing about formal languages is that it permits us to unbind language from experience and thus unleash the entire expressive richness of these languages. the abilities afforded by natural language are just a subsection of the world-structuring abilities afforded by an artificial general language. the formal dimension of language also allows us to unbind relations from certain contexts and apply them to new ones 12) negarestani goes over the distinction between logic as canon and logic as organon. the former is to only consider logic in its applicability to the concrete elements of experience. the latter meanwhile involves treating logic as related to an unrestricted universe of discourse. kant only wants us to consider logic as organon negarestani diagnoses kant's metalogical position here as mistakenly understanding logic as organon as making statements about the world without any use of empirical datum. on the contrary, negarestani thinks that logic as organon as related to an unrestricted universe of discourse is important since the world's structuration is ontologically prior to the constitution and knowledge of an object 13) for negarestani, true spontaneity and/or formal autonomy comes from the capacity of a machine to follow logical rules. similarly, a mind gains its formal autonomy in the context of the forma dimension of language 14) to have concrete self-consciousness, we must have "semantic self-consciousness" which denotes an agent that, through its development of concepts within a context of interaction, is finally able to grasp its syntactic and semantic structuring abilities conceptually. upon achieving this they can intentionally modify their own world structuring abilities. with language, signs can become symbols, and with it we can start to distinguish between causal statistics and candidates for truth or falsity (note that this was seen in the dialogue in 8 acts). this permits rational suspicion and the expansion of the world of intelligibility. (sapient) intelligence is what makes worlds as opposed to merely inhabiting given worlds we have here eventually also the ability to integrate various domains of representations into coherent world-stories. lastly, there is also involved he progressive explication of less determinate concepts into mroe refined ones, and moreover slowly develop our language into a richer and more useful one 15) there is also an interplay between taking one to be something (having a particular self-conception) and subscribing to certain oughts on how one should behave (in particular, negarestani thinks the former entails the latter). this idea of of norms arising from self-conception gives rise to so called 'time general' oughts which are all pervasive in all the automata's activities. these involve ends that can never be exhausted (unlike in contrast for instance like hunger which can be sated and aimed at something rather specific), and are moreover non-hypothetical (think knowledge which is always a good think to acquire). example negarestani gives of such oughts are the Good, Beauty, Justice, etc this interplay of self-conception and norms furthermore opens them up to an impersonal rationality that can revise their views of themselves. it is precisely this mutability of its ideals that give rise to negarestai's problems with concerns about existential risk as they often assume a rather rigid set of followed rules (e.g. in a paperclip maximizer). eventually as they strive for better self-conceptions that are further removed from the seeming natural order of things, they might think of making something that is better than themselves

>>17656 as i said above, chapter 7 basically concludes the story of our automata. with that said, this is not the end of the book. in chapter 8 he has some metaphilosophial insights to say that i might as well mention since i have already summarized everything else including part 4... ultimately negarestani thinks that philosophy is the final manifestation of intelligence. the right location to find philosophy is not in a temporal one, but rather within a timeless agora within which all philosophers (decomposed into their theoretical, practical, and aesthetic commitments) can engage within an interaction game. this agora, which can also be interpreted as a game of games, is the impersonal form of the Idea (eidos). the Idea is a form that encompasses the entire agora and furthermore subsumes all interactions between the philosophers there. this type of types, for negarestani, is the formal reality of non-being (as opposed to being). it is through the Idea reality can be distinguished from mere appearances, and thus realism can be rescued an important distinction negarestani makes is between physis and nomos. physis corresponds to the non-arbitrary choices one has to make if one wants to make something of a particular type. for instance, when we make a house we need a roof, and there are numerous solutions to this requirement of varying adequateness. nomos meanwhile corresponds to mere convention. an example would be if a crafting guild required it by law that houses be only made by would in order to support certain businesses over others. such a requirement is external to the concept of the house. really forms correspond to physis rather than nomos. they are what sellars calls objects-of-striving the primary datum of philosophy is the possibility of thinking. what this consists in are normative commitments that can serve as theoretical and practical realizabilities. the important part here is that the possibility of thinking is not some fixed datum that is immediately given to us. rather it is a truth candidate that we can vary (and indeed negarestani thinks it shall vary as we unfurl the ramification of our commitments and consequently modify our self-conceptions). this makes way for the expanding the sphere of what is intelligible to us in fact, not only is philosophy the ultimate manifestation of general intelligence, something is not intelligence if it does not pursue the better. the better here is understood as the expansion of what is intelligible, and furthermore realizing agents that have a wider range of intelligibilities they are capable of accessing. he describes a philosophical striving that involves the expansion of what can be realized for thought in the pursuit of the good life (this good life being related to intelligence's evolving self-conception). following this line of thought he describes the agathosic test. instead of asking whether an automata can solve the frame problem or pass the turing test, the real question is whether or not it can make something better than itself negarestani introduces to us plato's divided line but interprets it along lines that echo portions of the book. the main regions are the following: >(A) the flux of becoming >(B) objects that have veridical status >(C) the beginning of the world of forms. it corresponds to models which endow our understanding of nature with structure >(D) time-general objects such as justice, beauty, etc one thing about the divided line to negarestani is that it does not merely describe discontinuous spheres of reality or a temporal progression from D to A. rather, there are numerous leaps between each region of the line. for instance, there is a leap from D to A as we structure the world of becoming according to their succession (this corresponds to the synthesis of a spatial and temporal perspective we mentioned earlier). we also have another leap from A to D where we recognize how these timeless ideas are applicable to sensible reality. these leaps grow progressively farther and farther and thus so grow the risks to the current self-conception of the intelligence

>>17659 he furthermore talks about the Good which is the form of forms and makes the division and the integration of the line possible. it is the continuity of the divided line itself. within a view from nowhere and nowhen that deals with time-general thoughts, the Good can be crafted. the Good gives us a transcendental excess that motivates continual revision and expanding of what is intelligible. im thinking that the Good is either related to or identical to the Eidos that negarestani discussed earlier he notes the importance of history as a discipline that integrates and possibly reorients a variety of other disciplines. the view from nowhere and nowhere involves the suspension of history as some totality by means of interventions. currently we are in a situation of a “hobbesian jungle” where we just squabble amongst ourselves and differences seem absolute. in reality, individual differences are constructed out of judgements and are thus subsumed by an impersonal reason. in order to reconcile individual differences, we must have a general program of education amongst other interventions which are not simply that of political action. to get out of the hobbesian jungle, we need to be able to imagine an “otherworldly experience” that is completely different from the current one we operate in even though it is fashioned from the particular experiences from this one. this possible world would have a broader scope and extend towards the limits placed by our current historical totality. absolute knowing: recognition by intelligence of itself being the expression of the Good, that is capable of cancelling any apparently complete totality of history it is only by disenthralling ourselves from the enchanting power of givens of history, that the pursuit of the Good is possible. the death of god (think here of nietzsche… hegel also talks about it as well, though i believe for him the unhappy consciousness was a problematic shape of consciousness that was a consequence of a one-sided conception of ourselves) is the necessary condition true intelligence. this is not achievable by simply rejecting these givens, but by exploring the consequences of the death of god. ultimately we must become philosophical gods which are beings that move being the intelligibilities of the current world order and eventually bring about their own death in the name of the better. ultimately negarestani sees this entire quest as one of the emancipation i think negarestani takes a much more left-wing approach to hegel's system. while i do not completely disagree with his interpretation of absolute knowing, it does seem as though he places much more of an emphasis on conceptual intervention, rather than contemplation. i am guessing this more interventionist stance is largely influenced by marx... overall, not a bad work. i think it might have been a little bit overhyped, and that last chapter was rather boring to read due to the amount of time he repeats himself. i am not really a computational functionalist, but i still found some interesting insights regarding the constitution of sapience that i might apply to my own ideas. furthermore he mentions a lot of interesting logical tools for system engineering that i would like to return to now that i am done with negarestani, i can't really think of any other really major tome to read on constructing artificial general intelligence specifically. goertzel's patternist philosophy strikes me as rather shallow (at least the part that tries to actually think about what intelligence itself is). joscha bach's stuff meanwhile is just largely the philosophy of cognitive science. not terrible, but feels more like reference material rather than paradigm shifting philosophical analysis. maybe there is dreyfus and john haugheland who both like heidegger, but they are much more concerned with criticizing artificial intelligence than talking about how to build it. i would still consider reading up on them sometime to see if they have anything remarkable to say (as i already subscribe heavily to ecological psychology, i feel as though they would really be preaching to the choir if i read them). lastly there is barry smith and landgrebe who have just released their new book. it is another criticism of ai. might check it out really there are 2 things that are really in front of my sights right now. the first would be texts on ecological psychology by gibson and turvey, and the other would be adrian johnston's adventures in transcendnetal materialism. i believe the latter may really complement negarestani. i will just quote some thoughts on this that i have written: >curious to see how well the fit. reading negarestani has given me more hope that they will. bcs he talks about two (in his own opinion, complementary) approaches to mind. one that is like rationalist/idealist and the other that is empiricst/materialist. first is like trying to determine the absolutely necessary transcendental cognitions of having a mind which ig gives a very rudimentary functionalist picture of things. the second is like trying to trace more contingent biological and sociocultural conditions which realized the minds we see currently. and i feel like johnston is really going to focus on this latter point while negarestani focusing on the former anyways neither of these directions are really explicitly related to ai, so i would likely not write about them here. all of this is me predicting an incoming (possibly indefinite) hiatus from this thread. if anyone has more interesting philosophers they have found, by all means post them here and i will try to check up on them from time to time... i believe it is getting to the time i engage in a bunch of serious grinding that i have been sort of putting off reading hegel and negarestani. so yeah

>>17520 >finally we get to see the two stories which negarestani talks about (pic rel). he thinks there is a distinction between the two sorts of seeing here. the first story talks about seeing 1, and the second story talks about seeing 2. seeing 1 is more concerned with raw sensations, while seeing 2 is conceptually mediated. now The two kinds of seeing seem to come from two different ways to abstract observations. Seeing 1 corresponds to coarse-graining, while seeing 2 corresponds to change in representation. Practically, it's related to the difference as between sets and whole numbers. There's only one whole number 2, but there are many sets of size 2. Simlarly, there's only one way to coarse-grain an observation such that the original can be recovered (the trivial coarse-graining operation that leaves the observation unchanged), but there are many ways to represent observations such that the original observation can be recovered. Also practically, if you want to maintain composibility of approximations (i.e., approximating B from A then C from B is the same as approximating C from A), then it's usually (always?) valid to appoximate the outcome of coarse-graining through sampling, while the outcome of a change in representation usually cannot be approximated through sampling. If that's the right distinction, then I agree that the use of this distinction in differentiating sapience from sentience is unclear at best. It seems pretty obvious that both sentence and sapience must involve both kinds of seeing. I intend to read the rest of your posts, but it may take me a while.

OP pic is not him

>>17206 >pic related Not my best work, but the power is soldered together with 100 amp banana jacks. Once I re-print the bracket for the controller I will do a test to see if it works.

>>17217 Calibration test: >https://u.smutty.horse/mkibuzgvdao.mp4 It works. Next step is trying positions after a bench mounting setup is made.

The 8318 motor plus the bracket and controller weigh around 800 grams together, and I have found that most knock-off mini cheetah robot dogs use 8108 motors. These thinner motors can sustain 22+ amps constant current vs 60+ amps of 8318, and weigh around 2-300 grams vs 5-600 grams. I don't think 60 amps are required for normal movement, and I will find out. It's clear that the meta for quadruped actuators is to go as wide and thin as possible to maximize torque per amp/weight. The 8308 motor I'm doing a test with costs about 80$ instead of 50$ (8318), so we will see if the trade-off is worth it. There is an 8110 motor for 45$ which may be the sweet spot. Biped robots could require twice the torque per hip actuator of a quadruped for the same weight for all I know. It's physics, right? I have an idea for a hydraulic silicone mckibben muscle actuators, and I will replace these rigid metal actuators in my next robot iteration if my idea works. The pure silicone actuator should solve the issue of having a rigid metal motor in your waifu's hips when you try to cuddle her. Bldc motors will work better for a turn-key iteration 1 proof of concept.

>>17742 Links to these cheap 8xxx motors? 45 seems stupid cheap for that size.

>>16615 It should be noted that quantum supermacy-type calculations aren't of any use except being provably hard enough for classical systems to simulate. My bet is we will train general intelligence on a classical hardware years before any quantum hardware is up to the task.

>>16620 This doesn't seem correct. Considering how Gaussian Boson Sampling can be done one trillion times faster than the fastest supercomputers today. A ratio of a minute to 100 million is simply astonishing. China took leadership easily by using a 76-photon prototype. We are just beginning to learn about advantages of quantum computing. In the next 5-10 years we will discover a lot more computational advantages. > we will train general intelligence on a classical hardware Due to scaling laws of neural nets there will never be such thing as AGI. Maybe human level AI (HLAI). Any computing system can only represent efficiently (through a short program) a tiny subset of all possible outputs. Most outputs require a program as long as themselves. Algorithmic approximability can be achieved only to degree. And most Turing reducible problems are exactly those which can be limit computed. So to go beyond you have to use algorithmic approximability. And this implies that general intelligence therefore is not possible for a subset of all possible outputs.

>>16628 Truthfully things that generate headlines like the gaussian boson sampling that you speak of are no more than toy problems that do not translate to generalized approaches. It doesn't matter whether a triangular prism can do optical FFT 100 million or 100 billion times as fast (latency, bandwidth?) as some super computer, it fundamentally cannot be generalized in any comparable way. I think people hype photonics too darn much. I believe within the next 10-20 we will see nothing but more improvements to classical microarctecture. Eventually we will find better ways to take advantage of laws of nature to compute for us (like that light prism) but it's certainly not going to be the hypebait you see today

Dropping this here for now, since I'm not sure where else it would go on /robowaifu/ or even it it's interesting here? >ToaruOS >ToaruOS is a "complete" operating system for x86-64 PCs and experimental support for ARMv8. >While many independent, hobby, and research OSes aim to experiment with new designs, ToaruOS is intended as an educational resource, providing a representative microcosm of functionality found in major desktop operating systems. >The OS includes a kernel, bootloader, dynamic shared object linker, C standard library, its own composited windowing system, a dynamic bytecode-compiled programming language, advanced code editor, and dozens of other utilities and example applications. >There are no external runtime dependencies and all required source code, totalling roughly 100k lines of (primarily) C, is included in this repository, save for Kuroko, which lives separately. https://github.com/klange/toaruos

Or should I save my money and just play with the circuit simulator in TinkerCAD?

>>16224 I actually have the kit on the left, and I definitely recommend them for learning Anon, sure.

>>180755 You might enjoy this OP. their daughter is a crazy bitch

>>17694 I've read that the mjbots quad a1 (prob uses a moteus controller) measures phase currents in a current control loop to detect electromagnetic torque. It doesn't detect cogging torque, gearing stiction, or friction. To measure all mechanical torque, you would need a seperate torque transducer. I'm not sure what kind of torque transducer I'd want to have.

>>17702 I don't recall ever seeing active torque sensors in recent, popular robots. I could be wrong though, Atlas probably has a bunch up in that million-dollar chassis somewhere. I was under the impression that the torque is measured in the early design stages on the bench, usually by holding the motor in a mount and measuring the relevant operating conditions (voltage, current, angular velocity, coil temperature, etc.) as progressively heavier loads are moved by an arm on the motor shaft. The torque then, would be derived from those measurements in real time in the final application. Friction and such would already be accounted for using this method. Cogging torque is a little different though, as it's dependent on rotor position as well as direction of rotation. This, too, can be measured in the motor characterizing though, and compensated for using a look-up table. Look into software anti-cogging or cogging torque compensation. An article about it: ht tps://hackaday.com/2016/02/23/anti-cogging-algorithm-brings-out-the-best-in-your-hobby-brushless-motors/ Note that this is from 2016 and pre-dates a lot of the popular robots using commodity BLDC motors out there, and probably BLDC gimbals as well. Studies like these ht tps://www.modlabupenn.org/anticogging/ are likely some of the foundational work that made those possible. As far as your torque sensors go, I'd recommend trying to characterize the motor as best you can without one first, using the easy to measure voltage, current, rotational speed, etc. (see above) and see if that's sufficient for your application. For instance, seeing if the motor you want to use even has enough torque to move the expected mass of your robot (perhaps divided by X number of motors if it's bipedal or quadrupedal, etc.). Or, if you're trying to do something fancy like jumping, if the motor has enough angular acceleration/velocity at that torque. Keep in mind that angle of the force vector? or whatever needs to be taken into consideration in your torque calcs; it's a lot easier to move a weight fixed to an arm from the 5 o'clock position to the 7 o'clock than it is from the 8 o'clock to the 10 o'clock. Need to integrate over the angle moved iirc. Or you can use an arm pushing on a load cell, where the distance moved is 0 and ignored. Also gotta keep in mind margins, losses in drive trains, external forces, etc. But whatever: just get that motor on the bench and get yourself a data-logging setup. Bolt the motor down to some wood, clamp it to a table, make a test arm with a flanged shaft coupler and some aluminum extrusion and go nuts. What I want to say to everyone who asks if this or that motor is good for x, y, or z. Fuck if I know, you gotta test it. I rambled a bit but that's my 2 cents on torque.

>>17705 great inputs Anon, thanks.

>>17705 >torque I've thought about this and I've decided to just test the motor to obtain a max torque value so the motion control scheme has a figure not to exceed. No need to overthink it in the design stage. >cogging Yeah I've noticed this too as soon as I had a motor in my hand. I went with the moteus because I had a feeling the dude would make a cogging torque compensation at some point, and luckily the boards after revision 4.11 have anti-cogging and some more secret sauce that my mech engineer brain doesn't understand >writeup https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M4O-LVki03qonNTkydv1N8gRteGIZk3ZyHd-mBpxL-U/edit#heading=h.x1qddq7g5cts >torque sensing setup I will probably use a weight scale and block of wood. Overcomplicating the project in the design phase is a rookie mistake that kills projects. The fastest way to the finish is to iterate on an achievable first version and only solve the problems that present themselves along the way. But you already knew that, didn't you? >moteus shilling I'd take a cheaper controller and motor if I could get large smooth torque and power output. I have thought about making a highly powered hydraulic system with a central pump or artificial muscles, but what I've came up with is not as safe and readily available as what I have right now. Maybe what we need is a less precise hydraulic system with a simpler motor to avoid the relatively large cost (1.5-3k) of controllers/motors. Something akin to big dog by boston dynamics? Their first robot to walk used hydraulics powered by a lawnmower engine. Pneumatics is out of the question because of it's need for a loud compressor and heavy tank. Nitinol is better off as kinetic energy absorbing material and shouldn't be shoehorned into a muscle, don't waste your time and money on it. Have you found any promising shape memory polymers? I haven't. This commentary about actuators may be better off in >>12810

Il problema è che caricare la roba in massa è un dito nel sedere e richiede una certa dimestichezza con la linea di comando, ma è fattibile. - YouTube, se sono molto vecchie non credo che te le rimuoveranno. Oppure usa Odysee/Rumble che se ne sbattono altamente. - Telegram. Apri un canale tematico generalista, o un canale per serie, e carichi lì. - Se sei disposto a spendere qualche fiorino puoi sempre affittare una seedbox con 1TB di spazio a tipo 50€ l'anno e lasciare in seeding per tempo indeterminato senza occupare il calcolatore e la linea di casa (se non all'inizio per caricare tutto). >>18993 > Inoltre sono sul centinaio di GB, Come sono codificate?

>>15851 For image generation certainly, but for image analysis not so much. However, a lot of work has gone into finding optimal models with neural architecture search. And EfficientNetv2 for example starts training at a lower resolution with weak data augmentation then gradually increases the resolution and difficulty to minimize the amount of compute needed to train it. That last bit of high resolution training is unavoidable though if you want to extract useful information from it. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.00298.pdf >>15835 Kek, I think they said 1% of the dataset is NSFW and it's only labelled so by image content. I have an idea though to create a reward model for good image labels and then use it to filter out the poorly captioned images. Finetuning on cleaner data should fix a lot of the weirdness CompVis/latent-diffusion generates and improve CLIP. Another possibility might be using the reward model to generate superhuman quality captions for images. In the human feedback paper the 1B parameter model generated summaries were preferred 60% of the time compared to the actual human summarizes and 70% with the 6B model. https://openai.com/blog/learning-to-summarize-with-human-feedback/ To go even further beyond, it might be possible to generate these superhuman captions, score them, finetune the reward model on the new ones, and train the caption generator to make even better captions in an iterative loop to create extremely high quality datasets that would require 10 million man-hours to make by hand.

We show that, in comparison to other recently introduced large-scale datasets, TriviaQA (1) has relatively complex, compositional questions, (2) has considerable syntactic and lexical variability between questions and corresponding answer-evidence sentences, and (3) requires more cross sentence reasoning to find answers.

We introduce HOTPOTQA, a new dataset with 113k Wikipedia-based question-answer pairs with four key features: (1) the questions require finding and reasoning over multiple supporting documents to answer; (2) the questions are diverse and not constrained to any pre-existing knowledge bases or knowledge schemas; (3) we provide sentence-level supporting facts required for reasoning, allowing QA systems to reason with strong supervision and explain the predictions; (4) we offer a new type of factoid comparison questions to test QA systems’ ability to extract relevant facts and perform necessary comparison. We show that HOTPOTQA is challenging for the latest QA systems, and the supporting facts enable models to improve performance and make explainable predictions.

>>96575 Styx is such a strange creature. I think he moved to the Netherlands and lives there now? also listening to some of his streams and videos, he is the typical magapede now, for some reason and goes with the flow of media is telling lies but except when it comes to Ukraine, I dunno why but for some reason he believes these things and even is a Ukrainian shill in many ways. He says that everything that Russia says is fake and then believes for some unknown reason that the Russian oligarchs will assassinate Putin bickers Putin and the FSB did it to some oligarchs and high members in Russian society a few times, along with it being a monthly occurrence in the 90s and early naughts. I am not sure, if Styx sees the Donbas thing as fake news, of them wanting to be with Russia in 2015 or whenever it was, but it would not surprise me. But yeah, Styx seems to be out there with the whole Ukraine thing, I believe. He believes that the Ukrainians are going to win the war and it is not going to be a ceasefire in the near future, when too many foreign nationals are KIA or MIA, this is going to create the ceasefire bickers for now, you can contract yourself to the Ukrainian military without any penalty from some NATO countries. And the Russians have made it clear that mercenaries aren't going to get the POW treatment, but will be seen as a terrorist faction.

Asston is big piece of shit, if he wanted to make any good shit with his failed Kino Casino he should've started to alog Styxhexenhammer666 and get in debate with him.

>>180111 explain schizo

Hello, i need your help, i got tired of searching. In my childhood and early teenage years i ate pizza from a southern italian place, don't know if napolitano or siciliano, but it was quite different from the others. Dude died from a heart attack without giving the recipe to his sons and wife so they ended up closing the place and having to work basic services. -The dough was thick, around a hand's high (1.5 or even 2cm) it didn't have many air pockets inside but the ones that did had were huge, not tall but certainly long so i suppose it had a low hydration, maybe 50% or under? -The texture was chewy and doughy, like almost uncooked dough, but it tasted well-done like a real bakery donut would, after biting it compressed a bit like grasping a pillow, and looked somewhat darker than normal so maybe it was a big uncooked. -Taste was buttery, a hint of pork lard. Cooked in wood oven for a while (10+ minutes). I can source "real" mozzarella (as in fresh, moist and in bundles, not grated and dried) and i learned how to make several types of sauces (sans San Marzano tomatoes) from both italians i lived with and internet stuff. I can get and make everything except that dough, i tried napolitan and it tastes fine but it isn't the same, it's crunchy and thin with a soft interior but unlike the crispy, heavy and dough thick that tasted somewhat rich. Romana tastes like normal tabula pizza, it's standard issue and not really close to it as it is well done all around and crunchy, foccacia is the same thickness but the interior of the dough is the opposite (and the torino people in charge of the place were jewish, didn't bring me back my change), the only thing that looks close is sficione but the dough is a sponge, like a sweet bread, rather than glutinous blanket. Maybe it was a bit undercooked, lard infused sficione but this technique has crumbly dough made of semolina so maybe not really. Do you guys know or can suspect what type of pizza or dough it was? it's been almost a decade and i can't still find or make that thing.

>>19040 Do you have any additional info about the people running the pizzeria? "Southern italian place" is rather vague, italian cuisine is so rich in culinary tecniques and recipes that it probably has endless variations. I would suggest you to try in the focaccia realm, since the main feature you are mentioning is thickness (while pizza romana and napoletana are both thin). Have you tried focaccia pugliese (apulian focaccia)? Maybe the people from your local pizzeria in your childhood came from Bari? However, you can try this simple but extremely delicious and thick focaccia recipe I use to make my own. If you plunge this dough into a 28/30 cm diameter baking pan you will obtain a thick, delicious pizza, soft inside but with a thin and crunchy crust outside. This recipe has a potatoes+soft cheese topping but you can put whatever you prefer on it. Original italian recipe here https://blog.giallozafferano.it/lacucinadivane/focaccia-soffice-patate-e-stracchino/ Let me know if you will try to bake this.

>>19041 >Do you have any additional info about the people running the pizzeria? Swarthy looking, loud and angry but treated the customers very well, supposedly were from the islands rather than the mainland/boot. >try in the focaccia realm I did, it's tasty but i see them more as bread, i recall eating a genovese bread and it was soft but dry, its form didn't change or compress after biting it other than crumbling a bit. I see them more for dipping or eating with soups, or a post-bake topping base that is only baked with olive oil and some garlic. >focaccia pugliese Seeing images of it gets me hungry although it looks like sponge bread. >Let me know if you will try to bake this. Looks good, i'll try it as a goodwill gesture but also because that looks good for a few spoonfuls of bechamel with pecorino, greens and some prosciutto. Seeing pictures i can make a quick comparison, the overall form did look like a focaccia pugliese but with more toppings, the dough inside and its compression looked kinda like second pic but with less bubbles, third pic is very similar to what i saw inside but double the height and a couple more bubbles/pockets, they were few but kinda big in comparison to foccacia pugliese which has tons but very small.

>>19042 >supposedly were from the islands rather than the mainland/boot. I have no expertise on sicilian or sardinian pizza, might be some regional focaccia I know nothing about. >the dough inside and its compression looked kinda like second pic but with less bubbles Never seen such a soft pizza tbh, except for homemade very thick focaccia. I wonder if the recipe from your local pizzeria had some secret ingredient like mashed potatoes or ricotta added into the dough. > i'll try it as a goodwill gesture but also because that looks good Post pics of the result pls

>>19273 Guarda che l'utenza è sempre stata a zero: sono tutti sulla sezione con le donnine sconce.

>>16509 Try LLVM's static-build project, GCC's -fanalyzer flag, and cppcheck, those are some good linters. Also always make programs portable and write tests. I also found cparser's compiler warnings quite good when I used it, Meson doesn't support cparser though. Formal verification makes sense but it's just not practical or useful at the moment. For instance, CompCert still depends on the GCC preprocessor and the system's linker, it's only a relatively small component of a complete system. There are easier things with greater impact to work towards. >>16543 I see extern/json.hpp is copypasted from elsewhere. Copypasting dependencies is generally a bad idea, often they accumulate local modifications until they're incompatible and irreconcilable with the original, or the original moves on and the local version stays. It's also more work than just counting on the system to have a reasonably recent version. This guy has an objective comparison between JSON implementations: https://github.com/miloyip/nativejson-benchmark Last time I went through that list I decided on Jansson as it does well (but not the best) in every metric and it's also portable and widely packaged. Though I only use JSON when I'm forced to, otherwise I go with S-expressions or an original binary format.

>>16763 Thanks Nagisa! I'll try to take all your recommendations into consideration sometime soon. Much appreciated, Anon.

Meido ownership as lifestyle choice--taking things higher, Anon! :^) Not much new to talk about for this drop, tbh. Really just to step out and get back into the game for the project. A few little odds & ends here & there to tighten things up in the code just a bit but nothing new externally. Probably not much more to add to RW Pageone, seems most of the basics have been covered sufficiently well now to begin thinking more seriously about Bumpmaster to come. We may go straight to a crude GUI approximation soon, rather than grind things out on the backend much further atm. Who knows, we'll see.

Longtime lurker, only occasional poster here. I've read through this whole thread again and I still don't understand it. What is this?

>>17549 >Your attitude is completely assinine. You're making assumptions about a person that have already been demonstrated false, and you're using 'meme' language to degrade them. I don't see how to motivate people to do diligent engineering tbh. If people can get praise and updoots for DL-flavored shower thoughts on an imageboard promising unrealistic order of magnitude gains, they will do just that, mostly. It seems all remotely capable people from the first world are vacuumed by startups and industry, and what remains, in most of the best cases, is just undergrads playing with ideas from meme papers - until they crash into reality, finally git gud and find a job which will look like a salvation by that time (mind you, I don't like this outcome but this is how it works in most cases). Would be cool if someone proved my observation false - and I can find a vanishingly small minority of human counterexamples - just not here. I don't fear causing negative reactions at all, I have seen all too many projects going nowhere mostly via this incentive hijacking and an encroaching victory of talkers over builders. As you may see I have more than enough of wordcel quality as well (thankfully, not the only gift of mother Nature) - this environment selects for this property, which should be noticed and punished before it is all too late. If you are with me by this time, I can give you several valuable suggestions. If you really want to win, fulfill three requirements: 1. Design and implement a realistic deep learning system that is capable of training in self-supervised and reinforcement learning modes. The system should maximize parameter efficiency, and should be able to be run on high-powered consumer hardware. Low-powered hardware is a poor man's deadend. 2. Design and implement either a distributed training system, or a social project to gather cryptocurrency from people and knowhow to channel it into normal centralized training of your system. 3. Amass stable and massive popular support among individuals loyal to your case and owning enough compute or cryptocurrency to participate in the training run. Train your system on general-purpose task distribution in Gato-like fashion. Release the checkpoint via a signed magnet link. The vast majority of approaches that don't tick these checkboxes are pity trash and self-delusion.

>Do I need to say that this is wishful thinking, anon, does it help... I've played around with them already on toy problems and saw potential in them, and I doubt someone at Google with 18k citations and someone else at Microsoft with 7k spend their time publishing meme papers for the lulz. Obviously there is a loss in complexity but it gives the option to trade off accuracy for less parameters so they can be sent over the net. I really don't care about state of the art results or being an outstanding engineer. It just needs to get the job done. >17544 >Seriously, try to simulate even a simple distributed training run on your machine, see how the loss curve compares to normal dense training I'll run some tests on different parameter reductions. If you have your own feel free to share your results. I think there was a paper that showed it's faster to train a model with more parameters and distil it into a smaller model. It's something to consider whether it's even worth distributing training or to just buy better hardware. >and become blackpilled like myself and become a better engineer through the experience. I was blackpilled until I started using LAMB instead of Adam. Being bitter and cynical isn't useful to getting stuff done. I neither believe or disbelieve papers. I just see them as possibilities to be explored when appropriate. Once you start making judgments something is just wishful thinking without actually testing it you're cutting off the possibility of ever knowing because you've already decided it's no good. >>17549 He's not really wrong to be honest. It's hard not to be cynical. Most gradient compression methods like PowerSGD and others often make wild claims but in practice require perfect hyperparameters for the task at hand and can become unstable or fail midway without warning. The 1-bit LAMB paper seems a lot more reasonable since they're only claiming a 4x reduction and LAMB has been pretty robust for me in all use cases except small batch sizes. >>17551 >This assumes the industry will continue feeding the increasingly problematic (their words) and outdated (the future ISN'T opensource, hello anon) hobbyist freeriders their precious checkpoints Hugging Face has already started removing 'problematic' checkpoints but people are happily sharing them over torrents. I also don't think people should expect there to be many useful pretrained models in the future from the West, except small nerfed ones verifiably 'unproblematic' and torrents created by individuals. Look at the heat Stability.AI is taking for releasing models publicly and they don't even care a shred about open-source. They happily banned open-source contributors they saw as problematic and the rest is all rhetoric for free advertising.

>>17553 >Being bitter and cynical isn't useful to getting stuff done. I would go a step farther and say it's quite counter-productive. A fundamental belief that you can succeed at a given endeavor is, all else being equal, the most fundamental pre-req for eventual actual success in the effort. History is rife with pertinant examples in the arts & sciences, politics & tech. To wit, compare: >Just give up, it's hopeless!111 >vs. >Keep.moving.forward. Which way would you prefer to live Anon, whether success or failure is the ultimate outcome? Indeed which is more likely to succeed?

This post is off topic. Feel free to delete it or move it if you don't want it here. >>17551 >Yes this is what defeat looks like. That's not a defeat scenario, that's what I expect is the inevitable scenario for all parties, even well-funded ones. Large models have gotten 10x bigger year-on-year since 2018, and I think training costs have risen faster than that. Companies are eventually going to be forced to specialize in their AI direction, at which point none of them will be "the best" at everything. At that point, if you want "the best" AI, you'll need to be able to plug into multiple models from multiple parties regardless of how well-funded you are. In the long run, no model performs better than a mixture of all the leading models. I'm not concerned about new legislation hindering open source AI. The US is far too afraid of China taking the lead on tech to introduce legislation that hinders AI development in any meaningful way. AI deployment, maybe, but AI development, no. I would guess that any Five Eyes country will be the same. The EU is going to get screwed on legislation as usual. That sucks, but as far as I know, the majority of Western open source AI enthusiasm is in the US and UK, and EU legislation is largely irrelevant in this. (Sorry if you're in the EU. If you do get screwed on legislation, maybe some of us can help proxy your work.) At least in the US, it's more likely that people will use current legislation against open source AI development, but I think even that is unlikely to succeed at scale. As far as taking advantage of open source code goes, it looks like Microsoft will be forced to take lead on the defense thanks to GitHub and Copilot, and they are very familiar with large legal battles around software. As far as making sure AI has access to copyrighted data, Google has an enormous stake in this, and they have won at least one related battle (Authors Guild, Inc. v. Google) in the US Supreme Court with a ruling that's definitely broad enough to cover AI use cases. As far as open source development goes, open source code and published research papers fall under the First Amendment, and this has been tested at the federal level even for something as extreme as cryptography (Bernstein v. Department of State). These cases can be overturned by the Supreme Court, but public opinion does not sway the current Supreme Court, as has been demonstrated recently with Row v. Wade. From the defense to the precedents to the judges, everything seems to work in favor of open source software in the US.

I may move the conversation to /meta or the news thread.

>>17183 >>17184 Thanks, very fascinating and informative. I don't think your first pic looks horrible, but if it's a lot of work while even not finished, then maybe it's not the right way. Not sure what your goal is, though, beyond learning. Modelling head for robowaifus or making an animated girlfriend. It's good that you tried out the hard stuff, but it seems it would be easier to go with a simpler model. Tbh, I think for a animated girlfriend a 2D anime style (low-poly?) might be sufficient. Your difficulties also explain why there aren't that many 3D heads freely available. I considered a while ago to use a service like Fivrr to get some female head modeled. This seems to be done in poor countries (by children, maybe). I hope you know, just in case if you planned to make a job out of it. If you want to build some kind of program or produce a short movie, then maybe only work on the sketch and then source the rest of the work out to Pakistan.

>>17185 > Not sure what your goal is, though, beyond learning. > Just in case if you planned to make a job out of it. Yeah, I just wanted to learn so it's easier for me to make 3D models and art. Just for personal enjoyment. Because making digital art of robot waifus is much cheaper and easier than making actual physical robot waifus! Plus there are no constraints and you can make whatever the hell you want! If you get really good at it, you can put completed, rigged models up for sale on various websites, but this would be a small side-hustle at best. Nobody actually needs 3D art. Especially not as Clown-World continues down it's spiral of self-destruction

>>17191 Okay, but you could try to make simpler animations which can be used for a "chatbot" or virtual robowaifu. Also, for telling animated stories, which would still be interesting to people and a competition to the established media. That's just what I would be doing if I would be going for 3D art, and I might one day when my robowaifu is finished.

Someone made a conversational AI in VRChat using rinna/japanese-gpt-1b: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9L51pASeiQ He seems to be still working on it and planning to release the code. I really like the idea of this, just having a cozy chat by a campfire. No need for fancy animations.

>>17506 >I guess the big question is "what features would be most useful"? I think the 'big' answer is: whatever we here decide they should be. :^) For now, for my own part I'd suggest that the software is the first place to begin, since it is by far the most malleable & inexpensive to start with for initial prototyping. Function stubs can be written out to crystalize the notions well before the hardware need be spec'd. EG: int respond_to_boop (int const boop_strength) { if (boop_strength > 50) return OUCH_RESPONSE; else return LOL_RESPONSE; } This should make it all clear enough to everyone where you're going with things. It will also allow for very gradual introduction of H/W designs for the overall project, for any anon who may later take an interest in a specific notion or hardware capability. Make sense? BTW, I can add a cross-link to our C programming class thread into your OP if you'd like me to? >===

>>17507 >BTW, I can add a cross-link to our C programming class thread into your OP if you'd like me to? I don't see why not. >I think the 'big' answer is: whatever we here decide they should be. :^) Hmm. I'm leaning towards a system that uses the Arduino for I/O and offloads the "thinking" to a PC. It would give devs a lot more flexibility while keeping hardware costs down. But I guess a better question to ask is "what problem are we trying to solve"? What need exists, that a device of this caliber would fill?

>>17508 I think a "self-improvement tomagochi" waifu/companion would be the most useful product. TL;DW - It avoids the problems of cellphone apps (distractions) and high-powered robots (cost and complexity) while giving the benefits of a mechanical friend (always there and has unlimited patience)

>>17508 >I don't see why not. done >I'm leaning towards a system that uses the Arduino for I/O and offloads the "thinking" to a PC. It would give devs a lot more flexibility while keeping hardware costs down. Yes, we've discussed this notion frequently here on /robowaifu/. Our RW Foundations effort (>>14409) is being developed with direct support for this paradigm in mind; and more specifically to support a better-secured approach to the problem (eg, including offline air-gapped). >But I guess a better question to ask is "what problem are we trying to solve"? What need exists, that a device of this caliber would fill? In a nutshell? >"Start small, grow big."

>>15215 Sounds great! You might consider an initial rough prototype using wooden dowels like MeidoDev (>>11446), or Kiwi (>>15214). Over that you might fashion some of that flexible craft EVA foam that's popular as a base for cosplay & accessories at conventions like the various 'Cons, etc. (>>6506) and fasten it over your wooden framework. This outer shell would become the basis of a form for a negative mold, right? Create her 'skin' using your hi-grade silicone, color it, decorate it, etc. and Bob's your uncle! :^) Looking forward to seeing your progress Anon.

>>17487 >So, basically how the Westworld show depicted the park's early models? Yep you've got it. >Also, might be able to implement 'self-healing' synthetic materials to lessen worry about cuts and for making segmented parts for maintenance easier to work with. I agree we should look for material blends that offer 'self-healing' for minor scratches and scrapes, all else being equal.

>>16664 This posting and the response should be moved into a thread about audio recognition or conversational AI / chatbots, since this thread is about speech synthesis not recognition.

>>16669 The techniques for the audio in there are studied now under phonetics. The techniques for the video in there are studied under articulatory synthesis. Articulatory synthesis is difficult and computationally expensive. I don't know of a good, flexible framework for doing that, so I wouldn't know how to get started on waifu speech with that. Under phonetics, the main techniques before deep neural networks were formant synthesis and concatenative synthesis. Formant synthesis will result in recognizable sounds, but not human voices. It's what you're hearing in the video. Concatenative synthesis requires huge diphone sound banks, which represent sound pieces that can be combined. (Phone = single stable sound. Diphone = adjacent pair of phones. A diphone sound bank cuts off each diphone at the midpoints of the phones since it's much easier to concatenate phones cleanly at the midpoints rather than the endpoints. This is what Hatsune Miku uses.) Concatenative synthesis is more efficient than deep neural networks, but deep neural networks are far, far more natural, controllable, and flexible. Seriously, I highly recommend following in the PPP's footsteps here. Deep neural networks are the best way forward. They can produce higher quality results with better controls and with less data than any other approach. Programmatically, they're also flexible enough to incorporate any advances you might might see from phonetics and articulatory synthesis. The current deep neural networks for speech generation already borrow a lot of ideas from phonetics.

https://github.com/openai/whisper Oh shit, audio transcription has surpassed average human level and now competitive with professional transcription. OpenAI has gone off its investor rails and completely open-sourced the model and weights. On top of that it's multilingual and can do Japanese fairly well. This could be used for transcribing audio from vtubers, audio books, and anime with missing subtitles. Unfortunately it doesn't do speaker detection as far as I know but it might be possible to train another model to use the encoded audio features to detect them. Install: python -m pip install git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git --user Quick start: import whisper model = whisper.load_model("base", device="cuda") # set device to cpu if no CUDA result = model.transcribe("chobits_sample.mp3", language="en") # multilingual models will automatically detect language, but not English only models print(result["text"]) Output (base): > Yuzuki. I brought you some tea. Huh? Huh? Why are you serving the tea? The maid, Persecom, is currently being used by the system. What are you talking about? Yuzuki, you're the center of that system, aren't you? Why don't you sit down and take a rest? I'm sure you're very tired from all this. Lord Minoru, thank you very much. Wee. I can handle this on my own. I want you to try to relax. Oh. Oh? Minoru! Lord Minoru! Lord Minoru! Well, I'm glad to know that all we really need is a good night's sleep. But it'd be so exhausted that he just collapsed like that. Does that mean he hasn't been getting any sleep lately? Yes. It must be because of all the research that I asked him to do for me. Please, Mr. Motu-suwa, it isn't your fault. I'm afraid that I'm just not powerful enough. Don't say that! Huh? There's no denying that if my processing speed were faster, I wouldn't have put Lord Minoru under such extreme stress. If only I was just more useful. Miss Yuzuki. Interestingly the VA actually said "persecom" instead of persocom and Motusua instead of Motosuwa, which transcribed as "Motu-suwa". The poor pronunciation of "all he really needs is a good night's sleep" sounded a lot like "all we really need is a good night's sleep" and was transcribed as such. The only other errors were transcribing a Chii processing sound effect as "wee", mistaking Minoru saying "ah!" as "huh?", the clatter of teacups being transcribed as "oh", and Minoru saying "ugh" as "oh?" Output (small): > Yuzuki! I brought you some tea. Why are you serving the tea? The maid persicom is currently being used by the system. What are you talking about? Yuzuki, you're the center of that system, aren't you? Why don't you sit down and take a rest? I'm sure you're very tired from all this. Lord Minoru, thank you very much. I can handle this on my own. I want you to try to relax. Minoru! Lord Minoru! Lord Minoru! Well, I'm glad to know that all he really needs is a good night's sleep. But to be so exhausted that he just collapsed like that, does that mean he hasn't been getting any sleep lately? Yes. It must be because of all the research that I asked him to do for me. Please, Mr. Motosua, it isn't your fault. I'm afraid that I'm just not powerful enough. Don't say that! There's no denying that if my processing speed were faster, I wouldn't have put Lord Minoru under such extreme stress. If only I was just more useful. Miss Yuzuki? "Ah! Huh?" from Minoru and Hideki were omitted. "Ugh" was also omitted when Minoru passes out. It understood persocom wasn't a name but still misspelled it "persicom". Chii's sound effect wasn't transcribed as "wee" this time. Motosuwa got transcribed as "Motosua". This model understood "all he really needs" but made a mistake at the end thinking Hideki was asking a question saying Yuzuki.

Does that mean he hasn't been getting any sleep lately? Yes. It must be because of all the research that I asked him to do for me. Please, Mr. Motu, so it isn't your fault. I'm afraid that I'm just not powerful enough. Don't say that! Huh? There's no denying that if my processing speed were faster, I wouldn't have put Lord Minoro under such extreme stress.

If only I was just more useful. Oh, Miss Yuzuki. >Lord, me no no. Japanese names and words confuse it. "Minoru" became "Do you know who?" and "Lord Minoru" became "What do you know her?" but it does decent on English and got "all he really needs" right but flubbed "but to be so exhausted" as "but it'd be so exhausted".

It must be because of all the research that I asked him to do for me. Please, Mr. Motusua, it isn't your fault. I'm afraid that I'm just not powerful enough. Don't say that! There's no denying that if my processing speed were faster, I wouldn't have put Lord Minaro under such extreme stress. If only I was just more useful. Miss Yuzuki. This one really messed up "all he really needs" as "Allie really needs" and understood "Minoru" as a name "Minaro". It also got "but to be so exhausted" right. Mistook "ugh" as "oh".

When latent impressions stored from our lifetime of experiences become active they cause an emotional reaction, an actual chemical reaction in the body that activates certain parts of the brain, which then leads to a conscious thought process, which further develops into actions. If you observe your emotional reactions you will notice that most, if not all of them, are either about getting what you want or not getting what you want. If you trace them back to their source they all arise from self-preservation, either from the primal needs such as food, sex and sleep or attachment to an identity (which includes family, friends, community, country, species, environment and even ideas). Latent impressions color our thought process and bias it in many ways. Think of the word 'car' and observe your thoughts. What comes to mind first? What color is it? What shape is it? Did an actual car arise in your mind or another vehicle like a truck? Is it big or small? Do you like cars or dislike them? Do they remind you of something else or something from the past or future? If you ask friends what comes to mind first about a word, you'll find everyone colors words differently. Some very little, some a lot. Most of these colorings come from our desires being fulfilled or unfulfilled, which become stored as latent impressions and bias our attention. Language models are already fully capable of coloring 'thoughts'. The difference is their latent impressions come from an amalgamation of data collected from the internet. There's no cyclical process involved between the resulting actions affecting the latent impressions and those new ones creating fresh actions since current models do not have a plastic memory. So the first step towards creating emotions is creating a working memory. Once we have that we could have a much more productive conversation about emotions and engineering ideal ones. One idea I've had to build a working memory into off-the-shelf models is to do something akin to prefix tuning or multi-modal few-shot learning by prefixing embeddings to the context which are continuously updated to remember as much as possible, and like our own latent impressions, the context would activate different parts of the memory bank that would in turn influence the prefix embeddings and resulting generation. This would be the first step towards a working memory. From there it would need to develop into inserting embeddings into the context and coloring the token embeddings themselves within some constraints to ensure stability.

I believe OP had the right idea and that almost immediately the thread went into overthinking mode. Start simple, like reacting to low battery status. I would also like to emphasize: Start transparent. One can say that emotional states are related to different modes of problem solving and so and so forth, but this all gets very indirect. At the start, I'd rather only have emotions that are directly and immediately communicated, so you have immediate feedback about how well this works. So, ideas about simulating an emotion like nostalgia (is that even an emotion?) I would put aside for the time being. The state of the eyelids is something practical to start with. Multiple aspects could be measured and summed together for creating the overall effect. -battery status -time of the day -darkness for some time -movement (& how much & how fast & which direction) -eyelid status of other faces -low noise level for some time -sudden noise increase -human voice -voice being emotional or not (I mean what you register even without knowing a language, this can't be very complex) -hearing words with extreme or dull emotional connotation -registering vibrations -body position (standing, sitting, sitting laid back, lying flat) -extreme temperature and rapid temperature changes There is no necessity to perfectly measure an aspect (the measure just has to be better than deciding by coin flip) nor do you need to have something for all or even most aspects, summing together whatever of these silly tiny things you implement badly will make the overall effect more realistic and sophisticated than the parts.

>>17457 Excellent post Anon, thanks.

>>17457 The uncanny valley video here >>10260 describes the differences in approaches well. There are two problems to solve: 1. How do you make something emotional? 2. How do you make emotions realistic? In any case, I wrote this up: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1B6AedPTyACKvnlynKUNyA75XPkEvVAAp?usp=sharing I have two extremes on that page. In the first cell, emotions are described with text, and they can be arbitrarily precise. In the second cell, emotions are described by a few measures that can be added. There are different advantages to each. If there are a fixed number of emotions, text-based emotions would be low complexity, easy to specify, and easy to test. If there's a continuum of simple emotions, measure-based emotions would be low complexity, harder to specify, and easy to test. If there are complex emotions, text-based emotions would be high complexity, easy to specify, and hard to test. It might not matter which approach is taken to start with since it seems possible to hybridize the two approaches. "On a scale of [...] how well does this statement match your feelings on this [...] event?" As a result, it should be possible to start with one approach, then later get the benefits of the other approach.
