We equate #language with script. That is true in most cases, but not always.

We make words and sentences in a language, but we write them in a script. Text from a language can be written in different scripts. And text from different languages can be written in the same script. #writing #distinction

Both #Sanskrit and #Hindi texts are primarily written in #Devanagari script. And it is quite common to write Sanskrit text (especially scriptures) in the scripts of other Indian #languages.

Here's a site with the Sanskrit text of Bhagavad #Gita in 16 different scripts:

Culture is a huge topic in companies. And wrongly so, to some extent! Experts like Ed Schein created a big mess with their writings about corporate culture, as they stubbornly confused #culture and #system. But by respecting the crucial #distinction between systems and culture, organizational transformation starts making sense again. In short: Forget about working the culture (or people). Stick with #WorkingTheSystem. Together.

If scientists want to determine whether an LLM has formed an accurate model of the world, measuring the accuracy of its predictions doesn’t go far enough.
For example, a transformer can predict valid moves in a game of Connect 4 nearly every time without understanding any of the rules.
So, the team developed two new metrics that can test a transformer’s world model. The researchers focused their evaluations on a class of problems called deterministic finite automations, or DFAs. 
A DFA is a problem with a sequence of states, like intersections one must traverse to reach a destination, and a concrete way of describing the rules one must follow along the way.
They chose two problems to formulate as DFAs:
navigating on streets in New York City
and playing the board game Othello.

“We needed test beds where we know what the world model is. Now, we can rigorously think about what it means to recover that world model,” Vafa explains.
The first metric they developed, called #sequence #distinction, says a model has formed a coherent world model it if sees two different states, like two different Othello boards, and recognizes how they are different. Sequences, that is, ordered lists of data points, are what transformers use to generate outputs.
The second metric, called #sequence #compression, says a transformer with a coherent world model should know that two identical states, like two identical Othello boards, have the same sequence of possible next steps.
They used these metrics to test two common classes of transformers, one which is trained on data generated from randomly produced sequences and the other on data generated by following strategies.
Surprisingly, the researchers found that transformers which made choices randomly formed more accurate world models, perhaps because they saw a wider variety of potential next steps during training. 
“In Othello, if you see two random computers playing rather than championship players, in theory you’d see the full set of possible moves, even the bad moves championship players wouldn’t make,” Vafa explains.
Even though the transformers generated accurate directions and valid Othello moves in nearly every instance,
the two metrics revealed that only one generated a coherent world model for Othello moves,
and none performed well at forming coherent world models in the wayfinding example.

I produced three more Sadler's Lectures podcast episodes to finish up the set on David Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. Here's the first of those, on the difference between what we might call popular and rigorous philosophy!

One of the distinctions central to Immanuel Kant's work is that between analytic and synthetic. Here's a core concept video looking at his discussion of that early on in the Prolegomena To Any Future Metaphysics
