the yuppie rich in sunny states have their EVs already. the poors need reliable transportation to get to their workplace to feed their families and pay rent
openai has a funding round in play and they need all the "attention" they can get. so expect more rumors of "AGI is around the corner"
nice analogy between the output of llms with stream of thought conversation - wherein statements are made off the cuff and possibly confabulated. as opposed to correlating statements with knowledge structures knowledge…
loved this article thanks ! do folks actually read knuth ? i thought his tomes were meant only for bookshelves -lol- -sarcasm-
i plan to cancel too after my free subscription period expires.
this rant is similar to the one on modern hotel showers published today. https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/travel/hotel-showers-nate-barg... (behind paywall) the designers of these things are not the actual users, hence…
guilty as charged.. but isnt the article addressing the likes of me ?
"car companies could design for repairability, but it's not a selling point and it is a way for them to claw back profits" agree 100%, there is little incentive for the car-maker+dealer ecosystem to enable this.
just wait until the battery or motor dies on you, or you have to resell your car and no buyer wants to take on the risk of a used battery.
this is anecdotal but a friend who owns a tesla has had no repairs except 2 battery replacements - each of which would have been prohibitive out-of-warranty. A battery expert i spoke to said that battery management is a…
why then is hertz citing high repair costs for EVs ? https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/26/hertz-pulls-back-on-ev-plans... I dont think the assertion that "EVs have lower maintenance cost" is backed by hard data yet. And for…
by definition, any public predictable signals (sustained edge) in stock price time series have been exploited already - thereby nullifying them.
no, but in other parts of the world, there is no sense that you will imminently a) change the world with some doodad gadget or b) be a millionaire by picking up a startup lottery ticket.
I guess we are at that part of the hype-cycle where the initial excitement is turning into doubt. At this point, the vested interests (ai-vcs, startups, ai-researchers etc) must unleash a new wave of propaganda to keep…
nailed it. i have been part of 3 hype-trains - dot-com, cloud, and now ai. missed w3/crypto. but, i havent such hype-trains in other parts of us/world.
ok, here you go. another slight tweak to a standard puzzle and it falls. btw, i am very impressed with how well chatGPT does on this puzzle thanks to the elaborate tuning that seems to have been done by the training.…
LLMs are failing on tasks as simple as this. you can call it a trick question but what the hey. "prove that there are no non negative numbers less than 3" Claude puts out this elaborate BS - whats funny is the…
suprised that cs peirce is not brought into this debate. he provided a coherent (almost scientific) theory of consciousness - sadly, he remains a forgotten philosopher due to his fragmentary writings.
The output of many professions is bag-of-words emotional persuation. eg. politicians, consultants, sociologists, psychologists, writers, economists, tv talking heads, media in general. A characteristic of these…
spooky AI taking over the world was FUD spread by those with strong vested interests. and to be fair, a many credulous tech-types and their VC handlers were goaded on by this misson to "tame the AI beast". For the VCs…
prompt-engineering to get the answer is analogous to prompting the fortune teller to tell your future - ie, you have an intended answer that you expect (or wish for in the case of a fortune teller), and you tweak the…
in other news... Thought leaders in AI/LLM/AGI meeting next week to bury this inconvenient finding that threatens their narrative.
the whole "prompt-engineering to get the answer" reeks of bullshittery... like prompting a fortune teller to tell you your future
monkeys throwing darts have often outperformed the index. what does that tell you ? evaluating trading algorithms for sustainable edge is science. the competitive and zero sum nature of trading requires a deeper and…
