The new learn to code haha! I personally find dancing to be the hardest of public hobbies to even think about doing, guess I'm too shy
As Ernest Becker would ask, then what is your "immortality project"? Even worse, what's the immortality project for the vast majority of humanity? Do we just bring back religion to Middle Ages levels? Or do we hope…
If we are going to go technical I would argue that artists generate a highly derivative work, i.e. they input the "training data" via their eyes, experience of the world, ruminating (is that the word?) about art... and…
Is it even subsidy after the training? One could argue scientific papers are a huge fraction of the reason LLMs are good
To contribute my n=1, I consider that when using LLMs I do have a huge pull towards "just let the AI cook", and often it really approaches problems better than I ever could. I try to keep the Rust's LLM policy in mind,…
Dropping in to mention belief propagation networks, those things are likely being used right now by the modem on whatever device you use (WiFi or Ethernet, both use it!), and are surprisingly AI-like.
If I was Stephen Wolfram, i'd be screaming (in a very academic way) "you are just talking about computational irreducibility!!" LLMs are very close to computationally irreducible, no chance you can predict its output…
This is a good take, but where does one consciousness end, and another begin? Does my consciousness extend only to the central nervous system (and peripheral nerves and such are inputs)? Or am I my brain + all nerves?…
You are wrong, this is the mindset that allows such atrocities to become possible, even from non-psychopaths. Sadly, to a lot of people, there are not "humans" but "enemies", and once that's given, any atrocity follows.
Plus the fact that then you need the everything to be structurally strong to be able to support 1atm of pressure differential, keep the vacuum sealed, and keep material degassing under control, so you end up with some…
The only possible way for this to do anything measurable if it somehow reduces the 50/60Hz AC hum impressed on your body. But either way with the wavelength of 60Hz in meat being like earth sized I dont think any…
I presume "anti-satellite campaign" means hundreds of anti-satellite missiles launched into LEO / MEO, at which point we do have a serious problem
Well considering the proof is pretty much accepted by mathematicians to be correct (I'll be happy with that!), it would be sort of unnecessary to cheat. Maybe if some aspect is really tricky to formalize it could have…
I think there's a big misunderstanding going on here, translating the proof to Lean is, well... a translation task. Formalizing the proof in a way that's useful (breaks the proof down into relatively independent blocks…
Makes sense, I presume any defense corporation (even small ones of the drone manufacturer style) could get one of these running in a few months if needs arise. Now, for the defense model of "western" nations (once…
I wonder, at the point of such a simple thing as the Saheed (there are videos online of some of its electronics, not saying it's bad, indeed it's cheap and effective, but it's dirt simple), does the USA really need to…
I'm a bit of a victim to this mindset. I don't particularly play many video games, except the occasional one that clicks, but love making small game experiences and similar. I find that gamedev programming is very fun…
I'm running my remarkable on some ancient software version, and honestly for my use case (reading textbooks and occasional note taking) the old version is perfectly fine. I don't connect it to the internet, just use the…
Also read Greg Egan's short story Luminous :)
In a twisted kind of way, this is an advantage of going to court in the US being SO expensive, even $500k may not be enough to justify it!
You can't use a solar sail for this, but if you use lasers, you can get a few newtons / GW of incident laser power. Sci-fi stuff but if you can make a very very light reflector that can somehow be cooled (microscopic IR…
Galileo already contains this function for the navigation message via OSNMA, and GPS CHIMERA is soon to be operational, with the latter actually including crytographic "signatures" in the spreading code itself, so if…
Uranium is not even that rare, it's just that when chemistry fails at separating atoms, you have to use physics, and 3 ~proton~ (EDIT: neutron) masses is very little to work with
This is a very cool idea, feels like a sane way to use LLMs in this crazy time! Could be a very good way to break the ice when starting a new project and everything is friction.
I'd honestly love to see the PCB. Using an LLM for a mostly geometric task like PCB layout feels like using a hammer to cook a chicken, unless KiCAD has some kind of text-based description language i'm not aware of that…
