Are Online Lotto Ticket Auto-Fill Numbers Truly Random?

Did you know that the “random” numbers you get when you buy a Mega Millions ticket online might not be as random as the actual lottery drawing? It’s true! While the difference is small, it means you theoretically could be getting slightly worse odds. I checked out the Virginia Lottery website where you can buy Mega Millions tickets online. When you hit “auto-fill,” it happens so fast that it seems unlikely it’s getting truly random numbers from an external server. ...

A super-intelligent AI librarian powered by Large Language Models (LLMs)

What is a Large Language Model (LLM)

Imagine a vast library filled with millions of books on every conceivable topic. Now, picture a super-intelligent librarian who has read and memorized every single word in those books. This librarian can answer any question you ask, translate languages, write creative content, and even summarize complex topics – all based on the knowledge absorbed from the books. That’s essentially what a Large Language Model (LLM) is – a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) system trained on an enormous amount of text data. ...

Edit 09/11/2024: You can now try LLM fusion without a subscription, see my newer post here. In my quest for reliable and comprehensive research on various topics, I developed the $60 LLM Fusion method. This approach harnesses the collective intelligence of the three state-of-the-art language models. For an example of how I used the LLM Fusion method, see teaching a 4-year-old girl to read with LLMs using the S-T-A-M-P method. Here is how LLM Fusion works: ...

teaching a 4-year-old girl to read with LLMs using the S-T-A-M-P method

My MIL recently sent me an Instagram video that goes over some techniques to teach a child how to read. The video focused on starting with only the first five most common letters in the English language: R-T-N-I-L. I thought this was an interesting approach, but I wanted to cross-reference it with my LLM Fusion method.

custom personal trainer GPT for Vitruvian Trainer+

I was skeptical about magnetic weight resistance before trying a Tonal demo. After trying it in a mall, I was a believer in the technology. After doing a bunch of research on magnetic resistance machines for home, it came down to Tonal and Vitruvian for me. I ended up going with Vitruvian for these reasons: Vitruvian can support max lift of 440lbs vs Tonal’s max of ~200lbs Tonal has to be professionally mounted to wall studs. Vitruvian sits on the floor and requires no install. Vitruvian weighs 65lbs, and has two wheels to easily lift and roll it around Tonal seems to have better software UX, but Vitruvian seems to have better hardware. Vitruvian retains all of its 300+ exercise library even if you stop paying for the subscription I have only had the Vitruvian for a week so it is too early to give a full review, but thus far I am incredibly impressed with it. ...
