The CMIP7 scenarios were just released. AR7 is not yet completed but it's the input for it. The "worst" RCP8.5 / SSP5-8.5-style futures (coal-dominated, ~4.4–4.9 °C) are no longer treated as plausible given policy…
I spent 5 minutes just playing with the folding :-D
There is a certain difference between activating all relevant memoized facts that's in the weights and stringing them together with the help of all the stored text in the world, or displaying genuinely emergent…
Unless they just swiped the workbooks of the actual mathematicians that where working on the problem using AI and it's in the "next-gen" training dataset.
The tree map folding is ingenious. I have never seen it. As a whole it's brilliant and humbling. Both the vastness and complexity of nature and biology on Earth, and also the absurd amount of work and human lifetime…
I've had a glass of wine, but isn't it 3 half-hitches inside each other?
No, yes it's backwards.
I guess there's always the risk for a rig failure. I looked a bit on doing the same, but came to the conclusion that it will be expensive to fulfil racing rules requiring the boat to be able to maintain speed for 5…
How the f are you supposed to type? Ideally I'd like full support for my arms from the elbow to the wrist. In my first job - i think it was in 1997, I had my own small room with an L-shaped desk with a rounded corner.…
I'm actually impressed by the amount of abuse our Oracle instances are able take from our developers. Massive amounts of parallel single reads and writes with millisecond responses mixed with mega-joins of incorrectly…
The etymology is interesting - Pebble Voting was used in the early democracies in Greece from 500 BC. Black pebbles meant 'no' and white meant 'yes'. The tradition evolved to the black and white marbles used in the…
We don't "need a global reset" It's an apocalyptical mind-bug. All times have an eschatology - ours seems to be climate collapse. It used to be nuclear war. The media is selling a story. In reality everything is still…
The 150€ is a reservation on your debit card before filling up, since the banks or the station doesn't want the credit risk. It's released when the actual sum is booked. I think it's just what a reasonable "full tank"…
My internet provider didn't even maintain the ip-address. They have a pool of egress routes and seems to route round-robin. Basically every new connection can be from any address in the pool. I had to call them to make…
What's fast on Z platforms is typically IO rather than raw CPU - the platform can push a lot of parallell data. This is typically the bottleneck when compiling. The cores are in my experience moderately fast at most.…
It takes some of the fun out of imagining eternal digital life, doesn't it :-)
Will put it in my list :-)
In Sweden and I think Europe, there seems to be quite much product development in apples. I think one of the reasons is that storage seems to have been more or less perfected so that the produce can be sold over almost…
I think "MMAcevedo" basically nails it: https://qntm.org/mmacevedo
I think that is Hofstadter grieving his wife, and reflecting on how we embed models or predictions of others in our own neural networks, more than anything else. We build models of the world in order to predict it. But…
I'm thinking that the slopocalypse is almost inevitable outside pure tech companies and can't be ruled out there either. LLMs are a force multiplier. Clueless people will be able to produce tons of code that looks…
The truth is that there is a lot of hype. You need to be reasonably experienced and guide it. First, you need to know that Claude will create nonsensical code. On a macro level it's not exactly smart it just has a lot…
"... HBR found that companies are cutting [jobs] based on AI's potential, not its performance. I don't know who needs to hear this - a lot apparently - but the following three statements are not possible to validate but…
Good question. There seems to be strong lobbying for insects as human food, in particular from companies that would be happy feed us with their own shit as long as it's cheap and they could get away with it The…
I'm assuming they mean the old way of signing each others signatures. As a practical implementation of "six degrees of Kevin Bacon", you could get an organic trust chain to random people. Or at least, more…
