Have a look at one of the most prominent philosophical puzzles through the lenses of machine learning.

If you haven't heard the term already, here’s the gist of it. The Classical Account of Knowledge suggests the following:
One can know a proposition is true, only if:
1) The porposition is true;
2) One believes the proposition;
3) and One’s beliefs are justified.
According to this view of knowledge, knowledge is just justified true belief. That every time you come to a conclusion q through p implying it, p needs to be true and justified so as to lead to it. This justification needs to satisfy the anti-luck intuition and the ability intuition. …
GPT-3 is creating the next boom in technology but most technologists laugh it off saying that NLP today is chasing the wrong goals. So, what exactly are we aiming to achieve?
Simply said, GPT-3 is a language learning model that scans through a large corpus of text to learn patterns and reproduce some of its own. This comes under the wide umbrella called Natural Language Processing. To get a better understanding let’s dig into some processes going on underneath.
If you look at the picture above you see sentence being fed into a system and connections being formed between them. The algorithm is trying to understand the meaning of each word by the context it appears in. Now imagine running this one every sentence ever written on Wikipedia. …
A short note on a poem by William Waring Cuney
Some folks hollered hard times
in nineteen-twenty-nine.
In nineteen-twenty-eight

Things were bad for me when
those hard times started out.
Analysis
People resent the fact that 1929 could have been such a great year for them if it weren’t for the Great Depression. Cuney on the other hand feels as if he was behind these people even in 1928, and that times were always hard for him. The transitioning from 1928 to 29 is trivial to him. In a way, he questions whether one should even account for the passing of time and its relevance with hardships. …
I know looks can be deceiving, but this guide aims to give you the tricks to look like one and then slowly transition into being.
Step 1. Get a black hoodie.
Okay, bye guys! See you in my next article where we shall discuss pointers.
You know that moment when you look over at someone’s desktop and feel a serious inferiority complex just because that guy uses the terminal for literally everything. That is this guide. And honestly, I wish came across a guide like this earlier.
Step 1. Get over Windows, throw it away because it is bloat.
Now everyone has a different reason while shifting over to Linux. Mine was pre-dominantly because my laptop was literally 10 years old and couldn’t handle VSCode and Windows 10 together. I mean sure I could have just dumped VSCode but I flashed my whole laptop with LinuxMint. The thing is, you might think, “oh, I’ll just dual-boot”, no. Dual-booting isn’t the whole deal. That’s like swimming in the kiddie pool when you have to swim in the sea next month. …
