“If You Want to Solve a Hard Problem in Reinforcement Learning, You Just Scale. It's Just Gonna Work Just like Supervised Learning. It's the Same, the Same Story Exactly. It Was Kind of Hard to Believe That Supervised Learning Can Do All Those Things, but It's Not Just Vision, It's Everything and the Same Thing Seems to Hold for Reinforcement Learning Provided You Have a Lot of Experience.”

If you want to solve a hard problem in reinforcement learning, you just scale. It's just gonna work just like supervised learning. it's the same, the same story exactly. It was kind of hard to believe that supervised learning can do all those things, but it's not just vision, it's everything and the same thing seems to hold for reinforcement learning provided you have a lot of experience.

Annotations sorted by machine learning into inferred 'tags'. This provides an alternative way to browse: instead of by date order, one can browse in topic order. The 'sorted' list has been automatically clustered into multiple sections & auto-labeled for easier browsing.

Beginning with the newest annotation, it uses the embedding of each annotation to attempt to create a list of nearest-neighbor annotations, creating a progression of topics. For more details, see the link.
