Implementing _predict_single Method for k-NN Classification
By
–
Finally a '_predict_single' method as mentioned it predicts the class label for a single data point This is done by: 1. Calculating the distance between one point to all training examples 2. Selecting the k-nearest Neighbours, & returning the most common class label among them

Implementing Fit Method and Euclidean Distance in KNN Algorithm
By
–
Next define the "fit" method that takes the training data(X) and it's corresponding labels(y) and stores them. This is the reason why the computation cost is high as it stores all the training data! And also a method to calculates the euclidean distance between two data points.

Hawk and Griffin: New Recurrent Transformer Language Models
By
–
This one is for all refugees of war in the world – including a brilliant coauthor of this paper who I profoundly admire for her resilience and talent Hawk and Griffin are new recurrent transformer language models. They’re great on eval quality, speed, and their throughput is

Global Optimization Intractability and Ethical Singleton Formation
By
–
If you have arguments that may support intractability of search for global optimum, in the sense of preventing formation of ethical singleton, I'd like to hear them.

Omega Point and AI: Existential Ethics Beyond Human Control
By
–
Even if there is an optimal strategy, we cannot prove that we are destined to become part of the Omega point; earth might be just a food reservoir that gets harvested by something much bigger, and our ethical aspirations are for naught.

Optimal Strategy Tractability and Resource Constraints in AI
By
–
Wrt tractability, I am not sure whether we can hope there is an optimal strategy, either because it represents a global optimum, or because it is whatever results from a search strategy that cannot be improved on given the resource conditions in our region of the universe.

Ethics, Behavior, and Evolutionary Telos: Thomist Sustainability Framework
By
–
I think that ethics is instrumental to informing behavior, and behavior is instrumental to achieving desirable world states, evolutionary telos applies, and we can probably refine the Thomist idea of sustainability + complexity as goodness.
