Reviews

“This book was nothing short but inspirational. I am in no way an electrical expert but this book makes me want to start a career in electrical engineering. After reading this informative autobiography of one of the world greatest inventors, I started researching ways to learn basic electrical components and how they work hands-on. I am mechanically inclined in certain ways but not an innovating way that Tesla was. The books shows how his ambitious mind to better mankind worked till he either passed out from exhaustion or a nervous breakdown. This is one of my favorite books and took notes of his quotes and actions so that I can mimic his persona to my advantage in some way.”

“There have been very few men born as compelling as Nikola Tesla. This father of alternating current and post mortem pop-culture icon shows himself to be fascinatingly introspective and shockingly accurate with his predictions of computers, the internet, AI, and World War ll. A must read for anyone interested in science or philosophy.”

“Awesome book. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the life and works of Nikola Tesla. Not only is it an invitation to one of the greatest minds of the last century but a chance to get to know Tesla as a person, as the book is filled with anecdotes of his early life. To my surprise and amusement, the inventor had a great sense of humour and very interesting views on various matters, such as friendship, politics and others. The book was written in 1919, almost a century ago, but i am sure it will be an inspiration for several generations to come, as some of Tesla’s ideas and conceptions have only started to become possible in the last few decades. This particular edition has pictures and illustrations of Tesla’s career and inventions, as well as some others extracted from newspapers and scientific publications of the time.”

AI arrives…. ChatGPT trained on Distant Mirror titles is ready to talk.

Here’s an AI experiment. I’ve trained AI (specifically, ChatGPT and a database index on a platform called Pinecone…) on the complete contents of five books on the Distant Mirror site. One each book’s page, there is a chatbot plugin which can, in theory, discuss anything to do with the book. My testing so far is that the AI does an outstanding job – it understands the contents of the books, [...]
An experiment: comparing 6 LLMs for prompt creation, and some of the usual image creators for prompt adherence and comprehension.

I am going to give six leading LLMs the same instruction to create a prompt. Then I am going to feed the various prompts to some of the most popular image creators, and post the results below. There are two things being tested here: first, the ability of various AIs to come up with creative and useful prompts; and then we are going to see how the various image creation [...]
A question to ChatGPT

Here is a question which I posted on X, and then decided to ask ChatGPT: Throughout history, rarity has driven value. The wealthy became patrons of unique art, music, and culture—think Renaissance art or the Church’s role in the Middle Ages. Scarcity made creativity precious and sought after. Today, we live in a world where music, art, and even writing are no longer rare. Thanks to AI, anyone can create [...]

David Major Louis Pasteur, a vaccine, and fake numbers; a familiar tale

Some creative number-crunching that worked like a charm in the 1880s is being used again. When his new rabies vaccine was killing too many people, Louis Pasteur moved the goalposts, by declaring that for 15 days after being injected, people were counted as ‘unvaccinated’; thus removing an important subset of cases from the statistics. The same trick is being played out today, allowing the myth of the ‘epidemic of the [...]
