It's one thing to intellectually know that we are part of a vast, interconnected system of life. But how do we feel it, and collectively honor it?</p><p>1/</p>

Memo Akten<p>I'm loving these historical selfie reimaginings by @StelfieTT@twitter.com</p>
Memo Akten<p>My 2022 workout log.</p><p>Lift weights, do calisthenics, gym, home, just do some kind of resistance training</p><p>If you're young do it as investment in your future. If you're old do it as a survival mechanism 😅</p><p>Eat right. Sleep well. Progressive overload. Train harder than last time✌️</p>
Memo Akten<p>Choose to do something that you fear will make you uncomfortable. You might be pleasantly surprised. Hope you all have a wonderful year!</p>
Memo Akten<p>May 2023 be the year of all the <br />Beths from electronics! 🥳🙏</p>

Memo Akten<p>4. Transfer learning is when you realize cats also have the same sharp pointy things that dogs have that hurt you when you kicked it, so you probably shouldn't kick cats either.</p>
Memo Akten<p>3. Reinforcement learning is when you kick a dog and it turns around and bites you, and it hurts, and you learn to not kick dogs.</p>
Memo Akten<p>2. Unsupervised learning is when you see other cats and realize they're cats; and see other dogs and realize they're dogs; and see squirrels and realize they're like cats and dogs, but different; and realize birds are more different, and trees are even more different.</p>
Memo Akten<p>1. Supervised learning is when your mum points at a cat and says "cat", and then points at a dog and says "dog".</p>
Memo Akten<p>Did you know parrots can in fact learn, reason abt & articulate abstract concepts such as shape, color, material, count, size? In that sense they dont just mimic sounds, they understand what they hear & say. <br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yGOgs_UlEc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=7yGOgs_UlEc</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAheB5dDQX4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=PAheB5dDQX4</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br /><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0168159106001055" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencedirect.com/science/arti</span><span class="invisible">cle/abs/pii/S0168159106001055</span></a></p>

If we are as impressed by ChatGPT as we were with ELIZA, it's NOT because they are similar in what they can do, but bc they are similar in the size of the leap in progress</p>
