<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@shriramk" class="u-url mention">@<span>shriramk</span></a></span> </p><p>I was curious and asked perplexity. The answer was much better and cited :</p><p><a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-long-does-it-take-for-a-ne-br3t0HrHRtyRQj6EJhPwKg#0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">perplexity.ai/search/how-long-</span><span class="invisible">does-it-take-for-a-ne-br3t0HrHRtyRQj6EJhPwKg#0</span></a></p>

<p>4/ And it turns out it&#39;s not actually universally true. *Thomson&#39;s* gazelles can walk soon after birth…but *Grant&#39;s* gazelles need two or more weeks before they are moving around.</p><p>So it&#39;s a mess all round, and the *book* (ironically, an AI book) starts the misinformation.</p>

<p>3/ It did have a useful nugget: that gazelles are precocial (so perhaps that running isn&#39;t that significant an achievement). So the book may be overselling the role of reinforcement learning here. But ALSO, that AI snippet has no citations, so I dug more…</p>

<p>2/ This! … But we&#39;re not done! ↵</p>

<p>1/ I was looking through Sutton and Barto&#39;s &quot;Reinforcement Learning&quot; book and it had this remarkable claim, so I Googled it. Can you guess what the response was? [little 🧵] ↵</p>

<p>What an exciting research.
