Manifesto: Dance for Everyone
The Problem Dance is everywhere in culture—nowhere in people’s lives. Dancers are poor. Beginners are excluded. One bad class, they quit forever. The system is broken: Drop-in classes intimidate. Private lessons cost too much. Western culture says dance is performance—something to watch, not do. Result: judgment, shame, barriers. Self-expression lost before people even try. What…

Why Dance Needs to Be for Everyone
Dance is everywhere in our culture—in movies, music videos, social media. Yet it’s nowhere in most people’s lives. Not because they’re uninterested, but because we’ve made it inaccessible. We’re building the company that changes this. The Thesis: A Flywheel for Dance My thesis is simple: the more people getting into dance, the more money there…

[Weekly Post] Reading paper “Sources of richness and ineffability for phenomenally conscious states”
Link to paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.06403 My interest in this paper originally came from my study of GFlowNet, which is a new deep learning framework proposed by Mila, and is said to be useful in constructing compositional objects. Consciousness can be considered as a compositional object because it appears to be sequential when ideas and thoughts build,…

Weekly DL study note: GFlowNet Code Tutorial (completed)
Completed code: https://github.com/gangfang/littlegfn/blob/main/face_generator.ipynb Pre-requisites Flow Networks (Nothing about training yet) IMPORTANT – MAIN IDEA OF GFN The main idea behind GFlowNet is to interpret the DAG as a flow network, and to think of each edge as a pipe through which some amount of water, or particles, flows. We then want to find a flow where, (a) flow is…
