gollark: You do arc length integration? That's part of one of the furtherererest further maths topics in UK maths curricula (or, well, the one used by the exam board my school uses).

gollark: I have "mgollark" downloaded somewhere, which is a 117M-parameter GPT-2 model trained on 11MB of my Discord messages on free Google Colab GPUs.

gollark: You can actually train GPT-2s to be slightly more task-specific, although it takes horrible amounts of computing power.

gollark: Interestingly, my Discord messages CSV file (used for GPT-2 training some time ago) only goes to 28% of its original size.

gollark: You can run general purpose text compression over it and get English to something like 1/8 the size.
