Fundamental Design Ideas that should ALWAYS be accounted for Grommet 07/19/2023 (Wed) 01:59:58 No.24047 [Reply]
So I'm thinking about design and realize some mistakes I made. There is likely no better short cut to advancing design than these fundamental principles as stated by Elon Musk. 1. Make The Requirements Less Dumb “Step one: Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are definitely dumb; it does not matter who gave them to you. It’s particularly dangerous when they come from an intelligent person, as you may not question them enough. Everyone’s wrong. No matter who you are, everyone is wrong some of the time. All designs are wrong, it’s just a matter of how wrong,” explains Musk. 2. Try And Delete Part Of The Process “Step two: try very hard to delete the part or process. If parts are not being added back into the design at least 10% of the time, [it means that] not enough parts are being deleted. The bias tends to be very strongly toward ‘let’s add this part or process step in case we need it’. Additionally, each required part and process must come from a name, not a department, as a department cannot be asked why a requirement exists, but a person can,” says Musk. 3. Simplify Or Optimize “Step three: simplify and optimize the design. This is the most common error of a smart engineer — to optimize something that should simply not exist,” according to Musk. He, himself, has been a victim of implementing these steps out of order. He refers to a “mental straightjacket” that happens in traditional schools where you always have to answer the question regardless of whether the premise makes any sense at all. 4. Accelerate Cycle Time “Step four: accelerate cycle time. You’re moving too slowly, go faster! But don’t go faster until you’ve worked on the other three things first,” explains Musk. Here he uses another example of how these steps should occur in order. During a wrongheaded process you should simply stop, not accelerate. He says, “If you’re digging your grave, don’t dig it faster.”

>>26580 Lolwut? I think I'm pretty skeptical of the guy. OTOH, I'm not at all jelly of him and have earnest hopes for the Teslabot program. Regardless, he's certainly done the world a service regarding Xitter, even if some of the approaches to managing the thing seem bonkers to me. :D
>>26580 >The topic is literally just OP expressing their love for the guy You don't understand. One of the most valuable things in the world is to have a simple straightforward guide to operating effectively. "...you could have said all of that without inserting your celebrity into it...." He said it. He stated them in the sequence listed. These principles he stated off the cuff in an interview with everyday astronaut are pure gold. If you internalize them it will make you more effective in whatever you are doing. People for some reason really get triggered like little boys saying girls have cooties when you mention him or what he has done. And somehow admiration for most excellent productivity and changing the trajectory of several technologies on the planet, is said to be "love" or "worship" or some other derogatory term. No the guy has done a shit load of impressive things and respecting that is...just respect. Very few people in history have produced so much change in such a short time as he has. It's just a fact.
>>26590 > You don't understand. One of the most valuable things in the world is to have a simple straightforward guide to operating effectively. Do you actually think Elon is the first person that thought efficiency is good? You could ask any engineer and they would explain how important efficiency is to you. Also if you honest to god believe Elon is a genius at engineering, look at how modular and resistant Tesla cars or his rockets are. And most things he talked about don't apply because we aren't selling status symbols to the masses, we are producing robots to love. 1)Make The requirements less dumb If you made the requirements, they aren't "dumb" as long as you don't think they are dumb. Every requirement you started with should be added to the end product over time as long as there aren't any engineering difficulties and you want those features. 2) Try And Delete Part Of The Process The product should be quality checked at every step and the more check there is the better. 3)Simplify Or Optimize Good advice but some people died because he simplifyed his car's doors to the point they weren't functioning. 4)Accelerate Cycle Time That thinking of his is why Tesla factories get far more injuries than other car factories, i strongly believe Tesla factories would be closed 10 times by now if other car manifacturers ran factories as dangerous as his. 5. Automate Soo smart of him to realise industrial revolution happened. But doesn't apply to us yet because we aren't manifacturing in masses.
>>26592 You don't like his ideas, don't use them but don't pretend that stating them is worship or any of the other stuff you throw out there. No one forcing you to do anything. Ideas are not people.

Robowaifu@home: Together We Are Powerful Robowaifu Technician 03/14/2021 (Sun) 09:30:29 No.8958 [Reply] [Last]
The biggest hurdle to making quick progress in AI is the lack of compute to train our own original models, yet there are millions of gamers with GPUs sitting around barely getting used, potentially an order of magnitude more compute than Google and Amazon combined. I've figured out a way though we can connect hundreds of computers together to train AI models by using gradient accumulation. How it works is by doing several training steps and accumulating the loss of each step, then dividing by the amount of accumulation steps taken before the optimizer step. If you have a batch size of 4 and do 256 training steps before an optimizer step, it's like training with a batch size of 1024. The larger the batch size and gradient accumulation steps are, the faster the model converges and the higher final accuracy it achieves. It's the most effective way to use a limited computing budget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX8LLYdQ-cA These training steps don't need to be calculated by a single computer but can be distributed across a network. A decent amount of bandwidth will be required to send the gradients each optimizer step and the training data. Deep gradient compression achieves a gradient compression ratio from 270x to 600x without losing accuracy, but it's still going to be using about 0.5 MB download and upload to train something like GPT2-medium each optimizer step, or about 4-6 mbps on a Tesla T4. However, we can reduce this bandwidth by doing several training steps before contributing gradients to the server. Taking 25 would reduce it to about 0.2 mbps. Both slow and fast computers can contribute so long as they have the memory to hold the model. A slower computer might only send one training step whereas a fast one might contribute ten to the accumulated gradient. Some research needs to be done if a variable accumulation step size impacts training, but it could be adjusted as people join and leave the network. All that's needed to do this is a VPS. Contributors wanting anonymity can use proxies or TOR, but project owners will need to use VPNs with sufficient bandwidth and dedicated IPs if they wish that much anonymity. The VPS doesn't need an expensive GPU rental either. The fastest computer in the group could be chosen to calculate the optimizer steps. The server would just need to collect the gradients, decompress them, add them together, compress again and send the accumulated gradient to the computer calculating the optimizer step. Or if the optimizing computer has sufficient bandwidth, it could download all the compressed gradients from the server and calculate the accumulated gradient itself. My internet has 200 mbps download so it could potentially handle up to 1000 computers by keeping the bandwidth to 0.2 mbps. Attacks on the network could be mitigated by analyzing the gradients, discarding nonsensical ones and banning clients that send junk, or possibly by using PGP keys to create a pseudo-anonymous web of trust. Libraries for distributed training implementing DGC already exist, although not as advanced as I'm envisioning yet: https://github.com/synxlin/deep-gradient-compression I think this will also be a good way to get more people involved. Most people don't know enough about AI or robotics enough to help but if they can contribute their GPU to someone's robowaifu AI they like and watch her improve each day they will feel good about it and get more involved. At scale though some care will need to be taken that people don't agree to run dangerous code on their computers, either through a library that constructs the models from instructions or something else. And where the gradients are calculated does not matter. They could come from all kinds of hardware, platforms and software like PyTorch, Tensorflow or mlpack.

In the interest of us achieving the former I'll present this checklist from George Pólya.

>>24559 I feel people are taking the wrong message from my post. I never said that I want to simulate a human mind, nor do I think that is a useful goal for robowaifu. My message is that machine learning is a useful tool in your toolbox, but should not be the only thing you use. >I wonder if you could subdivide this between different AIs? Yes absolutely and that will be very important. >There could be a text file that stores every event the robowaifu recognizes, it gets fed to an LLM to summarize it, this summary gets stored to the "long-term memories" file... A better approach would be to identify important things to remember (you could ask the LLM), create an embedding of the information and then store the embedding with the text inside a database. To retrieve the memory, take the input before it’s fed into the LLM and query the DB for related memories to be inserted into the pre-prompt. (This is not a new idea) Skim this readme, I think you will find this useful https://github.com/wawawario2/long_term_memory >>24568 I don’t think we need to copy the monkey meat to succeed, AI NN are vaguely inspired by real neurons but are not the that similar in reality. So there is no reason the waifu brain needs to be accurate. I don’t think there is a "subconscious language" but the brain for sure is a collection of many independent systems that share information and is not a single system. The reason I speculate this is due the existence of conditions like "callosal syndrome" (where the connection between the two hemispheres is damaged) and the types of behaviors that are associated with it. So one way this idea could be applied is that a waifu brain would have some sort of event bus with different "modules" that listen for and publish events. I would love some input right now, here is the things on my "TODO" list. - I need to do a deep dive into psychology, this would be useful for figuring out what "mechanics" this mind should be governed by.

Good VR is one important interim goal for a fully-realized RoboWaifu, and it's also much easier to visualize an algorithm graphically at a glance than 'trying to second-guess a mathematical function'. OpenGL is by far the most portable approach to graphics atm.

Unrelated: Does the system redraw from the bottom-up? For some reason I thought the drawing happened from the upper-left corner down, but apparently not. Given that the coordinate origin for the system starts in the lower-left corner (similar to a Cartesian system) I guess that makes sense. Live and learn.
>>26098 This here about the Lobster language is related to OpenGL. This is why it is fast, I don't think that it is compiled is much important for speed, though it might have other advantages. For now I'm trying to use Python with OpenGL to do the same thing. Not to confused with OpenCL which I also need to use. I found the term "delta compression" for calculating differences in frames. I hope I can make the animations smaller that way. My current way of "programming" this is asking ChatGPT for every step while learning about how it works. With basic knowledge of Python it works relatively well, even with GPT-3. I'm getting the terms I need to look for how to do things, and the code which needs some polishing.

>>26108 Okay, I fell into a rabbit hole here. It was interesting, but probably useless. I rather need a collection of GIFs or so. I wondered why no one else had this idea before, I'm starting to understand where the problem is and why it might be hard or impossible. [quote] You are correct. In a delta compression approach where you keep the original frames and use delta frames to reconstruct, the primary advantage is not in reducing storage requirements but rather in potentially reducing the processing load when displaying or working with the frames in real-time. The advantage lies in the efficiency of processing and transmitting the frames, especially when dealing with limited computational resources or bandwidth. Here's a clearer explanation of the advantage: 1. Reduced Processing Load: By storing and transmitting only the delta frames, you can reduce the amount of data that needs to be processed, especially when displaying or working with the frames in real-time. Instead of working with full frames, you process the smaller delta frames, which can be computationally less intensive. 2. Real-Time Efficiency: In applications where real-time processing or streaming is crucial, delta compression can be advantageous. It allows for quicker decoding and display of frames, which is important in video conferencing, surveillance, and interactive applications. 3. Bandwidth Efficiency: When transmitting video data over a network, delta compression can reduce the required network bandwidth, making it feasible to stream video even with limited bandwidth. However, it's important to note that you still need the original frames to apply the delta frames and reconstruct the complete frames. The advantage is in processing efficiency, not in storage efficiency. You trade off storage efficiency for computational and bandwidth efficiency. If your priority is purely reducing storage requirements and you don't need real-time processing or streaming, then traditional video codecs that achieve high compression ratios while storing complete frames might be more suitable for your use case.[/quote]

Instead I found are ways to store heat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-change_material >Organic PCMs: Hydrocarbons, primarily paraffins (CnH2n+2) and lipids but also sugar alcohols. >Inorganic: Salt hydrates >Hygroscopic materials >Solid-solid PCMs >The most commonly used PCMs are salt hydrates, fatty acids and esters, and various paraffins (such as octadecane). Recently also ionic liquids were investigated as novel PCMs. Fore example: >highly water absorbent >expands when placed in water https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyacrylamide Useful for things like Thermal Comfort: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort

Wings! We pump thermal fluids through the robowaifu and then use thin "wings" filled with little tubes as heat exchangers. I took inspiration from how elephants use their ears to help regulate their body temperatures.
>>25300 Yeah I always found thermal chemistry fascinating NoidoDev, thanks! :^) >>25305 Heh, this is in fact a great idea Anon.
Don't think I'd seen the term 'thermoelastic' ITT yet. Particularly interesting was the phrase 'high volumetric energy density'. Presumably this implies a more efficient solid-state cooling system by volume and/or mass. >XJTU latest breakthrough in solid-state refrigeration published in Science http://en.xjtu.edu.cn/2023-05/19/c_893543.htm >=== -minor edit

>>25479 Not sure if it's related: >>22748 but it's also solid-state cooling, I just forgot the hyphen in solid-state.
