Agreed. I find that particularly annoying, and I also seem to find that the spatial arrangement or stereo effect is muted for most instruments (or the model simply doesn't use that feature as well as a good human…
I'm a psychiatry resident who has been into ML since... at least 2017. I even contemplated leaving medicine for it in 2022 and studied for that, before realizing that I'd never become employable (because I could already…
I'm still impressed by the progress in interpretability, I remember being quite pessimistic that we'd achieve even what we have today (and I recall that being the consensus in ML researchers at the time). In other…
I would be curious to know more precise numbers. My intuition suggests that when Sony sells millions of them, the number diverted for non-gaming purposes is maybe thousands or tens of thousands.
The programming workspace of the future of the future will have three employees: A man, a dog and an instance of Claude. The dog writes the prompts for Claude, the man feeds the dog, and the dog stops the man from…
Previous models from competitors usually got that correct, and the reasoning versions almost always did. This kind of reflexive criticism isn't helpful, it's closer to a fully generalized counter-argument against LLM…
Nanobots are fantasy? Nobody told your cells or bacteria I guess. We have an existence proof right there.
GPS jamming for incoming drones?
>Interactive Human Simulator is a bold way to describe spinning up a few GPT calls with mood sliders, but sure, let’s call it anthropology. Next iteration can just skip the users entirely and have LLMs submit posts to…
Humans with certain amnestic syndromes are incapable of learning. That doesn't make them unintelligent or incapable of thought.
I found it genuinely impressive how useless their "GPTs" were. Of course, part of it was due to the fact that the out-of-the-box models became so competent that there was no need for a customized model, especially when…
1. I do know what to do with it. I take notes, a lot, in my work as a doctor. That's been the case since I owned an iPad Air from 2020, which I replaced with an 11 inch M1 iPad Pro (which broke), and I finally caved and…
I own an M4 iPad Pro and can't figure out what to do with even a fraction of the horsepower, given iPadOS's limitations. The rumors about an upcoming touchscreen Mac are interesting, perhaps Apple will deign to make…
I'd have liked more explanation of the actual solutions that programmers used at the time.
I never thought I'd end up posted on HN! I was wondering why on earth Substack's analytics were showing visitors from here. If anyone has any questions, I'm happy to answer here.
To me, it seemed to be a visual equivalent of that auditory trick where a note seems to descend or ascend in pitch indefinitely. The outer aura of color seemed to be shrinking constantly.
The person who guessed 16% would have a lower Brier score (lower is better) and someone who estimated 100%, beyond being correct, would have the lowest possible value.
Yes. Sleep by itself does nothing unique. In fact, you have a slightly lower rate of metabolism than even the "basal" metabolic rate.
Indian, Mexican and Brazilian consumers have far less money to spend than their American counterparts. I would imagine that the costs of the hardware and data collection don't vary significantly enough to outweigh that…
Sounds scary doesn't it? It's a shame that the magnitude of lean-muscle loss is entirely comparable to that of going on a strict diet or fasting: Intermittent/time-restricted fasting…
I'm on semaglutide for weight loss purposes, while having no other health issues relevant here. I don't think it's made any difference to any addictive tendencies or my bad habits (and with ADHD, those certainly exist).…
I would appreciate citations. I'm a doctor on GLP-1s,who had previously convinced my mother to commence the same. In her case, it was driven clearly by failure of other methods to control her obesity and worsening liver…
I can only imagine that people would pay to not see porn of either individual.
Do you have any actual concrete reasons for thinking that our understanding of consciousness will change? If not, then this is a pointless comment. We need to work with what we know. For example, we know that the…
I strongly value autonomy and the right of self-determination in humans (and related descendants, I'm a transhumanist). I'm not a biological chauvinist, but I care about humans ubër alles, even if they're not biological…
