The numbers
3 + 9 = 12
1 + 2 = 3
Lo Shu grid
Missing: 4, 6. Present digits repeat to show how many times they occur.
Life path 3 — The Communicator
Three is the number of expression — the point at which a thing becomes shareable. Tradition links it to language, humour, performance and the ability to make an idea land. It is generally read as the most immediately likeable number, and the reading usually adds a warning in the same breath: fluency can outrun substance, and 3 is described as capable of talking its way past work it has not actually done.
Complete lines
Line of Feeling
A complete line in the grid.
Line of Expression
A complete line in the grid.
Line of Ambition
The 7-8-9 column complete. Read as drive that has both the wish and the machinery — the traditional marker of someone who converts intention into position.
Line of Resolve
The 1-5-9 diagonal complete. Read as determination that survives the middle of a project, when the initial energy has gone and the result is not yet visible.
Line of Sensitivity
The 3-5-7 diagonal complete. Read as emotional and intuitive range — the line practitioners associate with artists and with people who register what is unsaid.
Repeated numbers
9 appears 3 times
Concentrated idealism. Read as a wide view that can lose sight of what is directly in front of it.
What is missing
Missing 4
Read as impatience with structure and maintenance. Associated with starting well and leaving the scaffolding to someone else.
Missing 6
Read as a complicated relationship with obligation — either avoiding it or over-shouldering it, rarely a settled middle.
Vedic — Ank Jyotish
Moolank 8 comes from the day of the month alone; Bhagyank 3 from the whole date. They differ, which is the ordinary case — the two numbers answer different questions.
Shani
Saturn. Labour, delay, consequence. Feared in popular practice more than any other, and read as the graha that makes people earn things.
Bhagyank uses the same arithmetic as the Western life path, so the two will always agree. That is not two traditions confirming each other — it is one calculation under two names.
In their words
"The analogy I've been using is the fact that perhaps an equivalent event in the history of humanity to what might be provided by Generalization of AI assistant is the invention of the printing press. It made everybody smarter.
"AI is going to bring a new renaissance for humanity, a new form of enlightenment, if you want, because AI is going to amplify everybody's intelligence.
The direction of history is that the more data we get, the more our methods rely on learning. Ultimately, the task use learning end to end. That's what happened for speech, handwriting, and object recognition. It's bound to happen for NLP.
Don't get fooled by people who claim to have a solution to Artificial General Intelligence, who claim to have AI systems that work "just like the human brain", or who claim to have figured out how the brain works (well, except if it's Geoff Hinton making the claim). Ask them what error rate they get on MNIST or ImageNet.
My problem with sticking too close to nature is that it's like "cargo-cult" science... I don't use neural nets because they look like the brain. I use them because they are a convenient way to construct parameterized non-linear functions with good properties. But I did get inspiration from the architecture of the visual cortex to build convolutional nets.
I try to stay away from all methods that require sampling. I must have an allergy of some sort. That said, I am neither Bayesian nor anti-Bayesian... I think Bayesian methods are really cool conceptually in some cases... but I really don't have much faith in things like non-parametric Bayesian methods...
