to go beyond simple tabular numeric data in an Excel spreadsheet to getting insights from images and audio and video and text, to get into environments where we might be making sequential decisions and optimizing over a long-term reward function, like reinforcement learning-- obviously, we'll talk about generative AI-- and then doing all of this in an ethical, equitable, ideally explainable, and fair manner.
So in this quarter framework, I've documented a few different stages we might be in. They're not all sequential. Not everybody's going to be going through them.
So you go through all this process, you deal with rejection. And it's not sequential. But you deal with rejection, you get yourself relatively in a healthy place, you manage your expectations and/or your family's expectations,
A sequence of experiments. We know that sequential is slow. So what we do-- we change one experiment, all the parameters at once.
And all of this content has been just in our head. And it's been sequential in terms of the television series, in terms of the curriculum. When we started to think-- about two years ago-- about what would a book be like, we really started thinking-- we did not want to write a book about our story.
Anyway, so I sat down with Abilio. Just two sequential decisions.
We flew it twice on Endeavour, and it was just a lot of fun. That's actually a sequential set of events, as is that, for scientists, for engineers.
So if we put all that together then you have here sort of this flow diagram of different steps that we just talked about that you go through in a sequential kind of fashion. And so, you know, you pump in raw sensor data.
And being that that was the case, I really could not have written this book with a pencil or even a typewriter. I don't think sequentially. Much of the material was so upsetting.
Bill Barnes: A very short graphic novel which, so now you have a recursive definition thing going on, right? voice in audience: A sequential visual narrative. Bill Barnes: A sequential visual narrative, nice.
voice in audience: A sequential visual narrative. Bill Barnes: A sequential visual narrative, nice. Will Eisner called them sequential art, which is very compact. And Scott McCloud in his book "Understanding Comics", and this is always a mouthful and I have to look it up "juxtaposed
Bill Barnes: A sequential visual narrative, nice. Will Eisner called them sequential art, which is very compact. And Scott McCloud in his book "Understanding Comics", and this is always a mouthful and I have to look it up "juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence intended to convey information and/or produce an aesthetic response from the reader." I think it is sometimes helpful to talk about what comics aren't. They aren't books.
Attention recognizes that it refers to animal and not street based on the word tired. Attention adds context to any kind of sequential information by breaking it down into chunks, converting these into numerical representations or embeddings and making connections between them. In this case, the word it and animal.
There was a sad case where a guy got fired from a fencing company because a new boss just blabbed out the instructions-- well, I don't remember long sequential instructions-- and he built the fence wrong and got fired. But that's a problem area that comes up all the time is where a person could be very successful, and then there's a new boss and there's problems.
And you're going to want to work longer. You may not want to work sequentially for 60 years. You might want to take career breaks for rejuvenation, for caregiving, for upskilling.
walking has been thought of as this exploratory activity. So I wonder what impact the sequential nature of the information would have on the browsing patterns.
A lot of people, their work is assigned algorithmically-- Uber, delivery people. The jobs that they do sequentially, sometimes on a minute by minute basis, are determined algorithmically. And of course, in Mechanical Turk, people are actually being assigned jobs algorithmically and acting as algorithms themselves in an odd sort of way.
So "The Baroque Cycle," internally, is eight books. And so I like to go sequential.
And because I was doing sequential art and storyboarding, I would be doing filmmaking sequences, and I'd be writing dialogue.
It's a constructed meal rather than sequential.
So did you write them all sequentially?
So what we do-- we change one experiment, all the parameters at once. That's much faster than the sequential approach. Parallelism is a good idea.
It was a nice little piece of sequential art by the side of the road.
- The biggest issue is you have to write completely sequentially because at least in that variant, 6502, you can't add things later. You can only add things on the
are driving a bunch of the challenges behind the sequential model of life?
So I ended up then with a few hundred videos in sequential order broken down by category, which was then shared with MSNBC's team, who worked through that
But so I was going through sort of sequentially, talking first about his family background, his boyhood.
Until recently, all my sequential work has been humorous, until this book.
You'd have to declare your file random access or sequential.
And so I read all the books very sequentially, and there's a little bit of unresolvedness, not only about the first one but about all of them in general.
And 99% of the West African rhythms are sequentially created.
And we don't necessarily have to write them sequentially, one after the other.
What's actually happening in the brain is sequential tasking.
are a series of recipes that are meant to be followed sequentially.
So you're reading it this way you're reading it sequentially.
think that uh different universes that could exist are simultaneous or sequential but then it occurs to me uh
you work, you-- it's very sequential, and it's very controlled.
And one of the things for me was math is a very sequential topic.
So "The Baroque Cycle," internally, is eight books. Yeah, I tend to go sequential.
So that's interesting in itself because it's an illustration of the sequential local aspects of vision.
And in that case, you can buy tea sequentially across the year.
It was really terrible, but it's about sequential transformation of data, the idea being that-- I'm sorry.
you'll see we're going to walk through them in a logical sequential order for the for the rest of us I'm going to tell
And one of the things for me was math is a very sequential topic.
Anyway, so I sat down with Abilio. OK, so it's just two sequential decisions.
So when you have a system composed of small units that break sequentially, fail without contagion effects, the
It's like 454. Are those really sequential?
And if you want to use RoPE with a normal MoE, it's a sequential thing.
And reading it from your perspective really turned on this light bulb for me about the challenges of this sequential model of life.
So can you tell us more about where these challenges are, and what friction this sequential model creates for society?
