The New-Caledonian government manages an Open Data platform that hosts and promotes all the Open Data of New-Caledonia on data.gouv.nc. As the underlying solution relies on OpenDataSoft, it makes interacting with all the data possible. In this session, Adrien will delve into all these metadata datasets to explore his country from a purely data-centric and graph perspective at a substantial scale.00:00 : Intro about New-Caledonia01:08 : How do countries are connected to the world (and United Nations)01:27 : Benchmarking countries Open Data maturity w/ the "Global Data Barometer" tool02:17 : Introducing our data journey02:52 : Ideating w/ AI : create a storytelling plan with AI crowd (Langchain SmartLLMChain & OpenAI gpt-4)05:02 : Discovering storytelling keypoint 1/5 : Map Country's Open Data to UN SDGs05:35 : 2/5 Identifying relationships06:07 : 3/5 predictive analysis06:16 : 4/5 Gap Analysis06:30 : 5/5 Storytelling with Data06:52 : Get smart title and subtitle for the experience07:18 : About UN SDGs07:36 : The data pillars we used to connect country data to UN SDGs07:59 : About data.gouv.nc (Open Data portal from New-Caledonia)08:22 : UN SDGs Open Data Portal08:36 : About Pacific Data Hub from The Pacific Community (SPC)08:58 : Project workflow, schedule and stack09:52 : Connecting datasets to UN SDGs10:18 : Building and putting the data together on Kaggle/DuckDb10:30 : Discovering the schema of our knowledge graph11:26 : About SDG goal hierarchy and "foundational goals"11:51 : Introducing RAG (Retrieval AUgmented Generation) w/ LangChain15:19 : RAG with LLama_Index17:29 : SDGs interactive discovery : storytelling on Neo4J Aura DB/Bloom20:27 : Explore Gender Equity in 3D with Kineviz GraphXR22:22 : Dataviz with Gephisto22:38 : Kudos to the biggest Open Data Publishers22:59 : About the stack23:39 : Data art and contemplation (Gephi with Runway experiment) cf 25:49 : Conclusion
The more accurate and precise model of the world is needed to make better informed decisions.
It is characteristic of autocratic governments that they collect and index vast amounts of information about everyone and everything. It is also characteristic that they make very bad decisions.
Today we talk about Jeremy Bentham's concept of the Panopticon. Michel Foucault's comparison to society in 1975. The historical role of intelligence as a justification for dominance. The anatomy of free will, and how a digital world may systematically limit our free will without us knowing it.
More accurate and precise models of reality allow for better alignment between goals and decisions.
Quote from: hamdani yusuf on 31/03/2024 07:45:43More accurate and precise models of reality allow for better alignment between goals and decisions.But they don't legitimise the goal. Knowing exactly where all the Uyghurs or Sunnis live makes it a lot easier to exterminate them, but it doesn't make extermination a Good Thing.
This video describes how to incorporate physics into the machine learning process. The process of machine learning is broken down into five stages: (1) formulating a problem to model, (2) collecting and curating training data to inform the model, (3) choosing an architecture with which to represent the model, (4) designing a loss function to assess the performance of the model, and (5) selecting and implementing an optimization algorithm to train the model. At each stage, we discuss how prior physical knowledge may be embedding into the process. Physics informed machine learning is critical for many engineering applications, since many engineering systems are governed by physics and involve safety critical components. It also makes it possible to learn more from sparse and noisy data sets. %%% CHAPTERS %%%00:00 Intro03:53 What is Physics Informed Machine Learning?06:41 Case Study: Encoding Pendulum Movement09:19 The Five Stages of Machine Learning16:09 A Principled Approach to Machine Learning20:00 Physics Informed Problem Modeling21:48 Physics Informed Data Curation25:34 Physics Informed Architecture Design28:59 Physics Informed Loss Functions30:55 Physics Informed Optimization Algorithms34:56 What This Course Will Cover46:48 Outro
many engineering systems are governed by physics
Good for whom in the short term? Only the politicians that order them, surely?
Quote from: hamdani yusuf on 31/03/2024 13:27:42many engineering systems are governed by physics We used to think that everything was governed by physics, but clearly the proponents of whatever they are selling think some are governed by consensus. Kruger-Dunning strikes again.
Wes Roth's video delves into the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), highlighting the potential for digital intelligence to surpass human cognitive capabilities within the next decade. It discusses the challenges and advancements in computing and energy resources necessary for AI development, focusing on the energy demands of training large AI models and the exploration of fusion energy as a sustainable solution. The video also touches on the impact of AI and technology on creative industries, including film, gaming, and art, emphasizing the transformative potential of AI tools for independent creators. Additionally, it explores the societal and economic implications of AI advancements, proposing equitable wealth distribution models to mitigate the risks of mass unemployment. The video concludes by addressing concerns and optimism surrounding AI's role in creative endeavors, emphasizing the importance of adapting to and embracing technological change.Video Chapters:[00:00:00] Introduction to AGI PredictionsDiscussion on the difficulty of predicting the future due to rapid changes.Predictions about AGI surpassing human cognitive tasks within a few years.[00:01:36] The Energy Challenge in AI DevelopmentThe transition from computational to energy limitations in AI advancements.Insights into the difficulties of scaling AI infrastructure without impacting energy resources.[00:02:39] Fusion Energy: A Potential SolutionIntroduction to Helion Energy's fusion project, supported by notable tech figures.

When the consensus don't match with reality, sooner or later they will face reality check, and be forced to shift their paradigm.

X.ai just made an announcement about Grok-1.5 Vision. Its their new multimodal model that can understand images and can write code based on flow diagrams just like GPT-4
GROK:https://x.ai/blog/grok-1.5vIntroducing Grok-1.5V, our first-generation multimodal model. In addition to its strong text capabilities, Grok can now process a wide variety of visual information, including documents, diagrams, charts, screenshots, and photographs. Grok-1.5V will be available soon to our early testers and existing Grok users.CapabilitiesGrok-1.5V is competitive with existing frontier multimodal models in a number of domains, ranging from multi-disciplinary reasoning to understanding documents, science diagrams, charts, screenshots, and photographs. We are particularly excited about Grok?s capabilities in understanding our physical world. Grok outperforms its peers in our new RealWorldQA benchmark that measures real-world spatial understanding. For all datasets below, we evaluate Grok in a zero-shot setting without chain-of-thought prompting.
The universe is a dynamic system, thus an accurate virtual universe must also be dynamic, i.e. change with time to reflect the real universe.

Including itself. Fact is that any mapping is necessarily incomplete. A database can be accurate or up to date, but not both.
"Sufficiently" is what it's all about. See Heisenberg!
