Am I right in thinking the Bun rewrite hasn't actually been released yet? There was a big kerfuffle when it was merged to master and people seemed to be behaving like that meant it was all done and dusted, but it looks…
Yes, I think I understand it (or am at least on the way to understanding it) now. Thanks!
Ah, interesting. I see "homogeneous coordinates" are covered later in the book I've just started reading (Projective Geometry, Coxeter) as a way of representing projective space. I think that's the link I couldn't see.…
Tiny nit / check of my understanding: > It was already widely understood that projective geometry allowed one to represent rotations and translations in R^3 with a single linear operator on R^4. I think it's projection…
Lovely game! Takes a bit of fiddling to get the hang of it, but so do most puzzles worth doing. The instructions are clear, the presentation is great and I like the decision to prioritise a fun game over representing…
See the paragraph beginning "Yet terms and conditions also apply."
Assuming your two uses of "model" have the same meaning, I'm mad that people are seriously suggesting we scrap representative democracy in favour of government by LLM output.
They're not plausible or internally consistent for reasons in my edit. It's not the Fermi "paradox" that rules them out. There could easily be interstellar civilisations in the Milky Way that we haven't observed. They…
It doesn't though. The galaxy is ~100,000 light years across and likely to contain at least 100 billion planets, of which we've only just developed the ability to even detect the existence of ones substantially closer…
The Fermi paradox isn't evidence for anything except space being big.
Even if it was a supply chain attack, which isn't known, the agent was in the "build trust" phase. It was supposed to be doing helpful things, even if the end goal was nefarious, but instead it was "reassigning bugs,…
Surprisingly enough, Turing Award winner and father of reinforcement learning Richard Sutton knows perfectly well what he's talking about. The whole talk is about the need to have the ability to test novel outputs…
Which is probably why Schwartz himself doesn't call them origami tori. He calls them paper tori. Here's the paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.14998.
Assume LLMs have conscious experiences. Take a session with an LLM. A prompt is fed to the LLM. It generates some text. Another input is fed in, comprising the previous prompt, the generated text and a new prompt. The…
