WTL<p>I've been working through my Pocket read-later queue. Saturday morning is spent catching up on the previous week’s saves and Sunday morning is going backwards to earlier saves.</p><p>I'm now into November 2023, so it is an interesting lens as to what I was curious about then.</p><p>Today, I learned about the Sieve of Eratosthenes: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of</span><span class="invisible">_Eratosthenes</span></a></p><p>Have you learned anything interesting this weekend? 🤔</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TIL</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TodayILearned" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TodayILearned</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlwaysBeLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlwaysBeLearning</span></a></p>

Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher<p>I've been slowly working my way through some art-based courses on <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Skillshare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Skillshare</span></a>, some more successfully than others. The latest one is basically a course on different styles of colouring in, perfect for me who still can't draw to save her life but can just about colour inside the lines if she really tries. </p><p>Anyway here's lesson 1 of 15. I'm not posting this because I think it's good, I'm posting it because one day maybe it will be good and I'm proud of myself for trying. </p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Procreate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Procreate</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/DigitalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalArt</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/AlwaysBeLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlwaysBeLearning</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/MakeBadArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakeBadArt</span></a></p>

Zate 🦘🇦🇺<p>So language models are all the rafe right now and the era of vision models is past or dormant but what I'm flopping around the edge of right now are multi-modal foundation models. </p><p>If <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> is our attempt to recreate that reasoning or gut instinct that we as humans have them we have to understand that it's made up of a bunch of smaller inferences from multiple senses all combined.</p><p>So the multi modal stuff makes sense to me.</p><p>What I'm wondering is even if we get that sorted, well, how do we get a shared context between person and AI? You see an inkling of it with stuff like chatgpt. How do we have a multimodal model and a person share a context across multiple "senses" and exchange that back and forth?</p><p>I understand basically nothing in this area which is why I think I find it fascinating. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/alwaysbelearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alwaysbelearning</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/alwaysbenoobin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alwaysbenoobin</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/multimodalmodels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>multimodalmodels</span></a></p>
