A lot of people in this thread think they're being clever by pointing out that a bookstore can't sell "banned" books. But it's common for bookstores and libraries to feature titles that have been banned in some…
It took a few minutes to get the hang of, but it does work very nicely! Being able to adjust length without any re-tying is a great feature
Seeing this makes me wonder if Grok uses Claude conversations for training. It's otherwise kind of surprising that they both converge on very similar phrases (e.g. "API integration is kicking my ass") that aren't…
Automatic coding systems have way too much economic value to be considered a "fad". I don't think you need to be Nostradamus to predict that we're never going back to manual coding. Sure, the systems will evolve and…
You're describing "modularity" or "loose coupling" in code. But it rarely implies you can just delete files or directory. It usually just means that a change in one component requires minimal changes to other components…

Reinforcement Learning by Sutton & Barto is an excellent introduction by two of the founders of the field. Read here: http://incompleteideas.net/book/the-book-2nd.html

The win is in how many weights you process per instruction and how much data you load. So it's not that individual ops are faster — it's that the packed representation lets each instruction do more useful work, and…
I still don't understand is why they don't even make an attempt to apply overlayers, when (as the author notes) there is ample secondary evidence that it would be present. It's not like there isn't already some element…
I assume you didn't read the article, since that's their exact point... "Since underlayers are generally the only element of which traces survive, such doctrines lead to all-underlayer reconstructions, with the…

I've never heard the caveat that it can't be attributable to misinformation in the pre-training corpus. For frontier models, we don't even have access to the enormous training corpus, so we would have no way of…
Yes, as is implied by the word "improvements"
You started this by objecting to my wording ("among the most") when I said fish/chicken are the most sustainable meat options. They are, by a wide margin. Beef’s footprint is roughly 10× higher, so swapping a beef meal…
I agree it’s worth comparing beef sources! That was my point about within-category differences and harm reduction. Saying "tofu is cleaner" doesn’t make beef comparisons pointless - just like the existence of bicycles…
I don't think it's "unserious" to recognize that >85% of the world's population eats meat. If you're quibbling about wording, all I meant was: farmed fish and chicken are among the most sustainable meat sources. I'm not…
That take’s outdated. In the US/EU, routine antibiotics in fish farming are banned [1]. Growth hormones aren’t used in edible fish. Farmed salmon’s feed changed (more plant oils), but it still delivers high omega-3s and…
On the contrary, farmed fish is among the most sustainable protein sources for those not willing to go full vegetarian [1] [1] https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ghg-per-protein-poore
Hah, why don't you try implementing your 3 little functions and see how smart your "AGI" turns out. > not a particularly capable AGI Maybe the word AGI doesn't mean what you think it means...
I don't think you've understood the paper. - There are no experts. The outputs are approximating random samples from the distribution. - There is no latent diffusion going on. It's using convolutions similar to a GAN. -…
It doesn't play nice with a lot of popular Python libraries. In particular, many popular Python libraries (NumPy, Pandas, TensorFlow, etc.) rely on CPython’s C API which can cause issues.
Smalltalk JITs make p x * 2 fast by speculating on types and inserting guards, not by skipping semantics. Python JITs do the same (e.g. PyPy), but Python’s dynamic features (like __getattribute__, unbounded ints, C-API…
A “sufficiently smart compiler” can’t legally skip Python’s semantics. In Python, p.x * 2 means dynamic lookup, possible descriptors, big-int overflow checks, etc. A compiler can drop that only if it proves they don’t…
