I feel like the 2.49 to 2.6 update was a bit overblown, but the 2.8 update was pretty damn massive to me eyes
I mean besides the fact that it's, by construction, pseudorandom? And beyond that the computation style is not turing-machine shaped, even remotely (although it's surely turing complete, but that doesn't mean the flavor…
Speculation on construction and development is absolutely fine and maybe even good! I don't have a problem with a bit of rent-seeking if you went ahead and built something. However... speculation on the underlying land,…
Yes, there is a complexity limit, but it is fuzzy and not perfectly well defined (and that's ok). Modern LLMs ride that line in a wild and interesting way. It's really fun having become a biologist in recent years, and…
It's a tool but it's not a strict computer program, and the language we use for computer programs doesn't capture their behavior well. In squishier fields like bio, where model organisms are used as living protein…
Stockholm is colder, further north, (though admittedly less hilly). I can't argue that the bike infra improvements in Seattle haven't made a huge difference, but I'm not at all convinced this is because it is…
This happens a lot in social sciences; more than once I've gotten my intuition "disproven" by a study only for that study itself to later be proven wrong. However this study in particular is pretty bad, see the comment…
On the flip side, when measurements don't reveal something that is completely obvious, especially in social sciences, it is very possible the measurement is measuring the wrong thing. In this case the prevailing theory…
Why not? Just cause it's not strictly in steady state doesn't mean we aren't approximating steady state
Personally, I don't have a problem with land ownership, i've got a problem with speculation and rent seeking. The point of a lease is you've gotta pay rent, which to my eyes is a good, easy to implement approximation of…
Just fyi adhd is not considered a categorical disease ATM. This means that it is not necessarily a disease in the same sense that flu or schizophrenia are diseases. It's a disease of excess
sticking fluorescence (and luminescence) inside an organism of choice is not particularly hard! just add a GFP gene and you're done. if you can do any genetics at all, this is one of the first things to try.
People gave their lives so everyone could spend their life studying law?? The people you've got in mind gave their lives for a representative, not a direct democracy. Laws are difficult and nuanced. Deciding between…
For what it's worth I was a similar kind of child. My problems entirely went away with about 10 (or more) hours of exercise a week. This required a hobby I cared about and the right kind of friends, but since then…
Not necessarily; these learning things are super non convex and it's not clear to me "where" they max out
Don't know about you, but personally I don't like direct democracy bc i have shit to do besides deciding which law to pass. My states' ballot is full of ridiculous questions every year and takes me days to do my…
it's funny to me how the success/not total implosion of htese companies is predicated on profitable, revolutionary-tier success, and that it's increasingly possible that the profits will never really materialize. pretty…
Yeah but it didn't do squat. The effective thing was a subtle prompt mod that boosted performance tremendously. I've been surprised by this forums unwillingness to read this thing...
I think your summary is not really correct, maybe I'm missing something. As far as I can read, the approximate takeaways are these: * LLM chess play is hyper sensitive to the harness being used (see: the section on…
Haha :/ one of the sad things for me is that prior to LLMs I had a fairly LLMish writing style. Kinda formal, lots of bullet points and em dashes, two instances before etc, etc. since the debut of gpts I've had to…
It's also how the San Diego trolley works (it's called a trolley, but it is almost a heavy rail with respect to how separated the tracks are everywhere except downtown). One of the cleanest, most effective rail systems…
there are far more reams of chess moves than there are math papers. Lichess is pretty open... But hey, they're actually good at chess if you prompt correctly so.... https://dynomight.net/more-chess/
