You should print them ;-). But yeah, I’m also old school in that I make directories for each album. I used MacOS photos before, but it’s terrible when you change systems (which eventually will happen).

It is constructed by using modules with known behaviour. And some brute force.

“Easily verifiable”… Not really, you have to simulate 133_076_755_768 steps. Sure it’s doable. But if the AI suggests a thousands patterns, then it will be useless.

Why does it have to be AI?

It is a version of the prisoner’s dilemma.

How do you know the correct direction? Isn’t the point of learning that the right path is unknown to start with?

The correct solutions and the viable paths probably are known to the trainers, just not to the trainee. Training only on problems where the solution is unknown but verifiable sounds like the ultimate hard mode, and pretty hard to justify unless you have a model that's already saturated the space of problems with known solutions.

(Actually, "pretty hard to justify" might be understating it. How can we confidently extract any signal from a failure to solve a problem if we don't even know if the problem is solvable?)

Your hard mode is exactly the situation that RL is used, because it requires neither a corpus of correct examples, nor insight into the structure of a good policy.

You rule out all the stuff that doesn’t work.

Yes this is difficult and usually very costly. Credit assignment is a deep problem. But if you didn’t find yourself in a hard mode situation, you wouldn’t be using RL.

Yes. Because sometimes even the fundamental sign-in is through Microsoft.

Word and excel are not the difficult part. Mail, calendars, management, storage, security measures, etc are hard.

IIRC, Dutch unis have another account managing system, run by SURFnet. OAuth2, I think.

Because that isn’t portable?

I specifically like md, because I will always be able to open it and modify, even if the original app no longer exists. I use obsidian without any extensions.

I must admit that I don’t archive things like exercise activity. So maybe the simple mindset won’t work then.

Also arxiv papers appear here too often, imo. It’s a preprint. Why not wait a bit for the paper to be published? (And if it’s never published, it’s not worth it.)
