Neuro-symbolic AI by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
An IBM made/pushed term, but that matches Ciro Santilli's general view of how we should move forward AGI.
Ciro's motivation/push for this can be seen e.g. at: Ciro's 2D reinforcement learning games.
Interesting layer skip architecture thing.
Apparently destroyed ImageNet 2015 and became very very famous as such.
ResNet v1 vs v1.5 by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/resources/resnet_50_v1_5_for_pytorch explains:
The difference between v1 and v1.5 is that, in the bottleneck blocks which requires downsampling, v1 has stride = 2 in the first 1x1 convolution, whereas v1.5 has stride = 2 in the 3x3 convolution.
This difference makes ResNet50 v1.5 slightly more accurate (~0.5% top1) than v1, but comes with a small performance drawback (~5% imgs/sec).
CNN convolution kernels are not hardcoded. They are learnt and optimized via backpropagation. You just specify their size! Example in PyTorch you'd do just:
nn.Conv2d(1, 6, kernel_size=(5, 5))
as used for example at: activatedgeek/LeNet-5.
This can also be inferred from: stackoverflow.com/questions/55594969/how-to-visualise-filters-in-a-cnn-with-pytorch where we see that the kernels are not perfectly regular as you'd expected from something hand coded.
Golden (wiki) by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
April 2024: merged with some fraud protection thing, is it sill a Wiki? Unclear, seem sto have lost that aspect: twitter.com/judegomila/status/1783028847983956430

Golden wiki vs Deletionism on Wikipedia
.
To state the obvious: Wikipedia is an incredibly useful website, but Gomila pointed out that notable companies and technologies like SV Angel, Benchling, Lisk and Urbit don’t currently have entries. Part of the problem is what he called Wikipedia’s “arbitrary notability threshold,” where pages are deleted for not being notable enough. (This is also what happened years ago to the Wikipedia page about yours truly — which I swear I didn’t write myself.)
Exactly! Deletionism on Wikipedia is so sad, and especially for companies. In particular e.g. Ciro Santilli tried to create a page for PsiQuantum, and it got reverted... and now golden has one of the largest Google hits for it: golden.com/wiki/PsiQuantum-PBDGXRA
TODO how do they do moderation?

Asked at: twitter.com/cirosantilli/status/1777250258235302233 Their last tweets were from August 2023, so maybe they just silently shutdown? Their name is too generic and hard to search for efficiently...
They do have knowledge graph built-in which is cool.
"Radioactive" is a biographical drama film released in 2019, directed by Marjane Satrapi. The film stars Rosamund Pike as Marie Curie, the pioneering physicist and chemist renowned for her groundbreaking research on radioactivity, a term she coined.
The Qube is a notable high-rise building located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is recognized for its unique architectural design and striking appearance. Completed in 1989, The Qube stands at approximately 100 meters tall and features 23 floors. The building's distinctive geometric shape, resembling a cube, has made it a recognizable landmark in the Vancouver skyline. The Qube primarily serves as an office building, providing space for various businesses and organizations.
As of my last update in October 2023, "MacGyver" is a reboot of the iconic 1985 series of the same name. The 2016 version follows Angus "Mac" MacGyver, a resourceful and inventive former operative of a secret organization who uses his scientific knowledge and ingenuity to solve complex problems and escape dangerous situations.
Gustav Victor Rudolf Born is a prominent British pharmacologist and biochemist known for his significant contributions to the fields of pharmacology and molecular biology. Born on December 23, 1920, he is particularly recognized for his work on blood coagulation, the role of platelets in hemostasis, and various aspects of drug action and toxicity. He is also known for his research on the mechanisms of drug action and physiological processes such as blood clotting.
Kwaku Aning is not widely recognized in available sources up to October 2023. It could refer to an individual, entity, or concept in various contexts, possibly in cultures, literature, or academia. If you are looking for specific information about Kwaku Aning, could you please provide more context?
Nigerian astrophysicists are scientists from Nigeria who specialize in the study of astrophysics, which is the branch of astronomy concerned with understanding the physics of the universe, including celestial bodies, cosmic phenomena, and the fundamental laws governing them. This field often involves research on topics such as the formation and evolution of stars, galaxies, black holes, dark matter, and the overall structure of the universe.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.

    You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either https://OurBigBook.com or as a static website
