I watched this (youtu.be/TMoz3gSXBcY?...) on the abuse of LLMs & 'vibe physics' by @acollierastro.bsky.social - well worth a watch! - and I was struck by how the back 15 minutes (the 'thought train') also summed up neatly what it has been like to be a public-facing historian, even before LLMs.1/

This thing now deserves its own name

The answer was not the point. The answer was never the point. The process of searching is the process of learning.

YouTube video by Johnny 2 Cellos I am BEGGING you to watch PANTHEON

A Netflix miniseries by my brilliant colleague Ken Liu – Pantheon- posits that AI – the current fad – will be superseded by UI – Uploaded human minds. Good writing, layered. With some of the nuance about uploading that are in Robin Hanson’s THE AGE OF EM.

The query above is a short one liner in Cypher but can be completely unreadable in SQL

Well in general finding people united by chain of relationships. For example, who are the doctors that assessed all the claimants that have the same solicitor as claimant 2

It makes things easier, though of course almost anything can be built on top of a relational database

One can efficiently build queries for next nearest neighbours of higher orders as well as match specific edges

There's at least two steps: 1) find nodes with highest centrality score and tag them as :CENTRAL 2) match nearest neighbours. Step 1 can be accomplished by a plugin in neo4j. Step 2 could be something like MATCH (:CENTRAL)-[]->(nn) in neo4j Cypher.

Within fraud detection, graphs can quickly provide information about which actor is central to frauds, and who is near them. Graph-dbs allow for a large number of entities to be memorised and processed.

Thank you this is great to hear

What a fantastic guest! Do you have recordings?

We are honored to host Hans Kamp for a lecture on Mental State Representational Theory. His framework explores how beliefs and intentions shape communication and understanding—a fascinating look at language and cognition! 🧠✨

AI that mimics human problem solving is a big advance – but comes with new risks and problems Chain of thought reasoning has been used in OpenAI’s new AI model.

The Shift from Models to Compound AI Systems The BAIR Blog

Berkeley Artificial Intelligence makes the case for a general shift toward “compound AI systems” that have multiple components interacting and augmenting each other. #MLSky 🤖

This reminds me a colleague from est Glasgow that pointed out he was technically "middle aged" at 27

A swarmplot showing the difficulty of predicting the next three pages at different moments in The Hound of the Baskervilles. Prediction is more difficult at the ends of serial installments than at other kinds of chapter breaks, hinting at deliberately constructed cliffhangers.

If we got this method to work, the payoff might be that we could measure uncertainty, and distant-read things like the history of the cliffhanger.

The hound of the Baskerville's was published in the strand originally. One can find the scanned pages here www.dfw-sherlock.org/uploads/3/7/...

I understand better now. I bet someone already made a corpus with the original installments
