One doesn’t simply create a Warren Abstract Machine by accident
Strange article. The problem isn’t that everyone doesn’t know how everything works, it’s that AI coding could mean there is no one who knows how a system works.
Sadly, the US is more likely to at war with Europe than China
To be fair the performance of rules or Bayesian networks or statistical models wasn't the problem (performance compared to existing practice). DeDombal showed in 1972 that a simple Bayes model was better than most ED…
Don’t attribute to jealousy that can be adequately explained by vanishing gradients. BTW the ad hoc treatment of uncertainty in Mycin (certainty factors) motivated the work of Bayesian network.
Unfortunately, I think the context rot paper [1] found that the performance degradation when context increased still occurred in models using attention sinks. 1. https://research.trychroma.com/context-rot
I've been using Gemini 2.5 and Claude 3.7 for Rust development and I have been very impressed with Claude, which wasn't the case for some architectural discussions where Gemini impressed with it's structure and scope.…
When do you turn it off? I have a Mac M1 Studio and I just let it sleep. If things get weird I reboot. I think I recall using the power button about a year ago after returning from vacation after I had shut it down.
But unfortunately it’s not premature. It’s been a problem for so long!
I suspect it's not so much the "expert" instruction but the list of subjects of the expertise. These words will generate embeddings that have a better chance of activating useful pathways and relationships within the…
Apple’s first in-house designed chip was the A4 in 2010.
I agree with your assessment. The real challenge is how can organisations best leverage super stars to achieve great things. It's difficult because managers have to be smart and confident, and the super star can't be…
With ChatGPT some of the limitations of the tech are handled by the user e.g. starting a new chat when you want to discuss a new topic. An assistant has to detect changes in user context somehow. Also, I think it would…
ChatGPT has helped me survive learning Rust.
I went from playing with Wordstar at my dad’s office to Zardax on the Apple II which was a breeze in comparison. https://archive.org/details/ZardaxWordProcessorManualAppleII...
Yes, a real “Flowers for Algernon” vibe
Elixir has a vector library Nx that’s designed for these use cases.
F#, Swift
I read it as even if extra type information was there the BEAM doesn’t use type information to optimise across modules.
Actually I think de Dombal’s work showed better than expert performance in 1974 (one of the references in the book): de Dombal, E T., Leaper, D. J., Horrocks, J. C., Staniland, J. R., and McCann, A. E 1974. Human and…
I think their hoping tab groups will reduce the 35 tab situation, but it’s too hard to organise when in information gathering mode. I hope they put a preference option to go back to the current interface. I’ll be filing…
Very cool project but definitely not best practice. You could reduce the number of State variables using one or more shared state objects and access via environment at certain points in the view hierarchy. Generally…
I haven't seen a great Prezi presentation. The motion and movement has never helped the content, it just made me a bit motion sick.
I’d really like to run FullWrite again! So sick of Word
I think we’re up to 3.0 at least (perceptron, rules, shallow NNs)
