"Eaglemount Road & Center Road"
We did a nice 14 mile bike ride this morning from Capitola to Santa Cruz and back along the coast. When we rode past the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk amusement park we found there was the annual school band competition.
From the web site, "Join us for an exciting musical parade as 55 Northern California high school and junior high school marching bands compete next to the iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in the ONLY band review with warm sand, cool surf, and hot rides!
Marching bands will be judged in categories such as music, showmanship, and marching.
Junior high bands will be limited to the first 10 registered."
Kind of cool.

This is one of these projects where I can't honestly say how long it took, it just reached the absurdly long zone :) But it shows. I thought the first one was already complex, but this one is a whole new level. And although I can still point many mistakes, I see how my technique improved between the two.
Now I have to wait until Wednesday to see the first prints!

Evaluating Cognitive Maps & Planning in LLMs with CogEval
TLDR: We tested planning in 8 LLMs (GPT-4, 3.5, 3, LLama2, Alpaca, Claude-v1, Bard, Cohere) and identified failures like hallucinating invalid paths/falling in loops. The evidence does not support emergent zero-shot planning in LLMs.
