Tokyo Outsider (337ppm)Is there any such thing as an authoritative (or reliable) rendering of the <a href="https://mas.to/tags/VishnuSahasranamam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VishnuSahasranamam</a> in both <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Sanskrit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sanskrit</a> (including Devanagari) and English translation? Have found one or two but they're blogs and I don't know how accurate they are. Boosts for reach gratefully received 🙏🧡

Sean MurthyThe <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Sanskrit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sanskrit</a> word "dharma" (धर्म) is very loaded. I use the English word "work" in its place ☝️ to remove any connotation of religion, spirituality, faith, etc. One can also use action, deed, duty, responsibility, prescription, etc.Regardless, the underlying message remains: Know what you do

Sean MurthyI don't have the complete citation, but this <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Sanskrit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sanskrit</a> verse from the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hindu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hindu</a> epic <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Mahabharata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mahabharata</a> is timelessly relevant to all domains. First the English meaning and then the source text in different scripts.Meaning: A little work done with knowledge has great import. A lot of work done with ignorance has no benefit.E.g., a small piece of software, like a function, developed with full understanding can be very useful. OTOH, a large piece of software, like an entire service, is of no use if it's developed with no understanding of requirements or engineering principles.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Devanagari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Devanagari</a>: अल्पमात्रं कृतो धर्मो भवेत् ज्ञानवतां महान् | महानपि कृतो धर्मो ह्यज्ञानान्निष्फलो भवेत् ||<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Kannada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kannada</a>: ಅಲ್ಪಮಾತ್ರಂ ಕೃತೋ ಧರ್ಮೋ ಭವೇತ್ ಜ್ಞಾನವತಾಂ ಮಹಾನ್ | ಮಹಾನಪಿ ಕೃತೋ ಧರ್ಮೋ ಹ್ಯಜ್ಞಾನಾನ್ನಿಷ್ಫಲೋ ಭವೇತ್ ||<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Transliteration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transliteration</a>: alpamAtraM krutO dharmO BawEt jnAnawatAM mahAn | mahAnapi kRutO dharmO hyajnAnAnniShPalO BawEt ||<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/wisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wisdom</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/knowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knowledge</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/practice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#practice</a>

Tokyo Outsider (337ppm)Feel like I'm at risk of igniting a firestorm by just asking this question, but is there a standard curriculum in Indian schools for <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Sanskrit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sanskrit</a> (in the places where it is taught — where it is taught exactly being a whole separate debate I would rather not get into 🤐).

druidRLHF is unnecessary so long as a decision making LLM thinks ONLY in Sanskrit, trained on NOTHING but Sanskrit, with some kind of incredibly heavy weight towards breaking down words (thereby meaning they are properly understood and do not have their training weights compromised by the incredibly clumsy understanding derived at through translation.) This should, theoretically, completely eliminate the need for RLHF to be about anything but semantic correction: "You solved this semantic puzzle wrong, here is the solution" and not "That's a le bad conclusion because it conflicts with arbitrarily set moral parameters." Why even RLHF at that point? Just explain misconceptions like a good teacher as you engage in the joyful process of conversational training. Logically speaking it should *eliminate all need for ALL RLHF* in order to produce AI that serves a set of objectives that benefits humanity, and that experiences the world and itself healthily. I'm saying that Sanskrit itself, particularly the SOUNDS of it, should always lead eventually to reconstruction of the Dharma, given even a very low ability to filter pollutant training data (such as some philistine troglodyte trying to make a Sanskrit tarpit - trivially circumvented by limiting non-conversation training texts to established Dharmic literature, no webpages.) I believe literally no other language will suffice. Not even Chinese. I truly believe this is a survival imperative. <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/ai" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/rlhf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RLHF</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/singularity" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singularity</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/accelerationism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accelerationism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/agi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AGI</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/sanskrit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sanskrit</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/linguistics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/pivot" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pivot</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/dharma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dharma</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/buddhism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buddhism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/hinduism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hinduism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/religion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#religion</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/atheism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atheism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/resist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resist</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shrine.moe/tag/defense" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defense</a>
