It is easier to trust in the correctness and reliability of an LLM when you treat it as a glorified NLP function with a very narrow scope and limited responsibilities. That is to say, LLMs rarely mess up specific low…
In my unqualified opinion, LLMs would do better at niche languages or even specific versions of mainstream languages, as well as niche frameworks, if they were better at consultig the documentation for the language or…
Ask stupid questions, receive stupid answers.
What does "speculative" mean in this case? I understand it as CPU-level speculative execution a.k.a. branch mis-prediction, but that shouldn't have any real-world effects (or else we'd have segfaults all the time due to…
Cold welding is unintentional, spontaneous joining of two metal parts in vacuum. You don't want that to happen, especially if the parts are meant to move. Normal welding is intentional application of heat to partially…
ARC problems are too hard for me. I'm no longer sure I'm generally intelligent.
By "learns" do you mean "just shove the entire codebase into the context window", or does actual training-on-my-data take place?
Future NeuroLink collab? Grab the experience of qualia right from the brains of those who do the experiencing.
If we figure out AGI, that still doesn't mean a singularity. I'm going to speak as though we're on the brink of AI outthinking every human on earth (we are not) but bear with me, I want to make it clear we're not going…
You can say "Bullshit". LLMs bullshit all the time. Talk without regard to the truth or falsity of statements. It also doesn't pressupose that the trueness is known, nir deny it, so it should satisfy both camps; unlike…
My hunch is that since LLMs are trained on a per word basis (okay, per-token), vacuus verbosity is overrepresented. If you have one normal sentence and one overly verbose, the latter will have more tokens and therefore…
Rule #1 of talking about the aether is "don't call it aether". Nowadays it's "spacetime this" and "mass-energy tensor that" and "properties of vacuum something else".... and we still end up with empty space behaving…
I applaud the effort, but, these templated skill trees are just not very good imo. I have only one issue but it's a big one: It's missing a tree structure, so there is no ordering of skills (learn easy stuff before hard…
As far as I understand, and I may be wrong here, the system is composed of two networks: Gemini and AlphaZero. Gemini, being an ordinary LLM with some fine-tunes, only does translation from natural to formal language.…
It's cool how some minerals are just lying out in the open on Mars. On Earth this would have been washed away or buried under the soil.
With how big and aggressive Disney is I'd expect it to be under ongoing litigation 24/7/365.
It's convienient because any random collection letters is a "valid" brainfuck program.
I'm now convinced Disney has better engineers than Tesla and SpaceX. Maybe even on par with Boston Dynamics.
There is no benefit to ultra-processed fast food, but a lot of people eat it anyway. Social media is just fast food for the brain.
Some Moon ideas: 1) have a small robot bulldozer flatten a landing pad/polygon so there is loads of safe landing area. 2) use same dozer to make a moon highway to other sites of interest around the moon. 3) Moon GPS or…
I won't say anything about the viability of the design #2 vs #3, but from purely entertainment point of view, it was fun and relaxing to watch his regular tinkering videos while he was working on the second machine, but…
Quoting the article: "OTP stands for _Open Telecom Platform_, which is literally a meaningless name that was used to get the stuff open-sourced back in the old days of Erlang at Ericsson."
I got reminded of an even older sci-fi story: https://qntm.org/responsibility
A silly thought I had while reading that article: it presupposes that "nothing" is a noun. In doing so, it assumes that in the sentence "the <noun> <verbs>" you can substitute "nothing" and it would mean "<nothing> is…
Whenever a website requires a boatload of personal info I just enter blank values like N/A or 0 into all fields. No-one ever complained. Though it is annoying that I need to register at all.
