rm2040on $700 a Month for a Bed-Sized “Pod” in Downtown SF? Techies Are Renting Them

Gotcha. The other day I saw some RVs here by google: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZaPAEhWhnfW4Bn6XA

I don't know the legal set up is but it's close to what you describe.

Why is T-shaped ideal? I’ve heard this before but it seems arbitrary. What about “W” or “U” or pick your favorite letter?

A fine doesn’t solve the issue. Could it be the EU is taking their cut? and will repeat for the other techcos every X years?

Good point. It's more fascinating though to connect this tree, which is still living, with this long-dead man whether it's true or not.

rm2040on A tutorial on the free-energy framework for modelling perception and learning

A few years back I spent some time reading and following the equations in Friston's papers, maybe understanding like 90% of it. you have to know dynamical systems, differential equations, multivariate matrix stuff, etc. Basically stuff physicists are good at. Seemed that the theory wasn't detailed enough to inspire the next deep NN revoluation, basically the form of the generative model Friston used is very general. My impression was that the coded matlab examples reqired you specify known quantities, like velocity or position. But that requires a human to input, not like a NN where you can just point it at some data and it learns. Would love to be shown otherwise...
