But that is not the standard for current GNU projects in large part because of all the easily avoidable friction. "If it was good enough for Richard Stallman in 1987, it's good enough for Microsoft in 2024" is just a…
At least for me, Monty Hall makes more intuitive sense to me when there are 10 doors than when there are 3, even though the benefit of the optimal strategy is quite small: there's a 1/10 chance you picked the car and…
Look at who the tools are marketed towards. Writing software involves a lot of tedium, eye strain, and frustration, even for experts who have put in a lot of hours practicing, so LLMs are marketed to help developers…
> Might there be certain laws of physics that are also “necessary” in the same way? In his paper, Molinini argues that the principle of conservation may be one such law. In physics, some properties of a system, such as…
Isn't "plasticity is not necessary for intelligence" just defining intelligence downwards? It seems like you want to restrict "intelligence" to static knowledge and (apparent) short-term cleverness, but being able to…
Because they can learn a bunch of symbolic formal arithmetic without learning anything about quantity. They can learn 5 x 3 = 15 without learning ***** **** ******* ***** = ***** = ******* ***** ****** * And this…
> Recent examples I've seen fall well within the range of innumeracy that people routinely display. Here's GPT-4 Turbo in April botching a test almost all preschoolers could solve easily:…
There was a very good paper in Nature showing this definitively: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41437933 Modern ANN architectures are not actually capable of long-term learning in the same way animals are, even…

In 2022 Ilya Sutskever claimed there wasn't a distinction: > It may look—on the surface—that we are just learning statistical correlations in text. But it turns out that to ‘just learn’ the statistical correlations in…
I learn best via writing things out by hand in my own words, and almost never read the notes afterwards. I am also profoundly disorganized :) Before I got a reMarkable I had accumulated (and thrown out) dozens of bulky…
My issue with this line of argument is that people always want to compare "do it with Copilot" to "do it completely by scratch" when they should be comparing it to "do it by ignorantly copy-pasting from one of the many…
> But isn't the ability to learn also a major component of IQ? Not sure what you mean by this - it's certainly not something a single-day IQ test could possibly measure! The primary reason IQ is a discredited measure of…
If you care about music: at least 100 years, almost certainly much longer. I don't think any of us in this comment section will live to see an AI that truly understands human music. If you care about money and don't…
> why Drew is so sympathetic to the cause I think this is a mischaracterization. If you read the original post[1] it's clear he's not at all sympathetic to the cause, though given recent news he is more sympathetic to…
AFAICT it has not been described "in detail," the only writeup I know of is this vague, flowery blog post: https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response/ > it's not in a way that would be particularly helpful here. Why…
Waymo's numbers aren't dishonest and their accomplishment is real, but this data should be taken in its proper context. 1) The comparison lumps in a lot of humans which cynically and selfishly break the law. Currently…
The thing I wish we better understood about Waymo is how much the remote human operators are actually intervening on a daily basis - maybe I don’t know where to look, but I’ve never gotten a clear answer here. AFAICT…
There's a huge difference between "the AI receives synthetic data as if from an omniscient being and proceeds as if it were true" and "the animal brain creates synthetic data and assesses its plausibility and downstream…
I am struggling to understand a single implication of this! How does this generalize to anything other than other than playing retro games in the most expensive way possible? The very intention of this project is…
> witnessing it's neurons being used as a computing resource What exactly is doing the witnessing here, if the neurons are being used for computation? A lot of these comments seem to tacitly assume there is a little…
While human brains are probably just scaled-up chimpanzee brains, individual primate neurons are significantly more sophisticated than other mammalian taxa, particularly with epigenetic changes:…
I also noticed that they played AI DOOM very slowly: in an actual game you are running around like a madman, but in the video clips the player is moving in a very careful, halting manner. In particular the player only…
It seems misleading to lump AlphaGeometry in with this: that system works by having an LLM generate hundreds of Lean programs and trying to find the one that works. Frankly the project is pointless and borderline…
