How do you know what the inside of the wire is? Maybe the entire Earth except for Manhattan is inside, and they are actually on the outside.

That ship has long since sailed. We live in a world of web apps with dynamically created content, AJAX, and so on. The main entry point for the app has a URL, and then within the app all bets are off. Same with framesets.

Thanks to well-placed ad campaigns, people have a very good idea what Pepsi, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Burger King are. They also know what Siri is. And it would be similarly easy to establish Gemini as a household name.

"People have no idea what claude or gemini are" One well-placed ad campaign could easily change all that. Doesn't hurt that Google can bundle Gemini into Android.

Same here. I keep trying to figure out WTF agent that people are using to get these great results, because Copilot with Claude 4 and Gemini 2.5 has been a disastrous mess for me.

Neat stuff! Is this similar to the Arduino MKR Vidor?

My complaint is that I don't get what we are getting at when we reference "creativity," "cleverness," "ingenuity" and so on. The halting problem cannot be solved, in the general case, by any machine constr

The problem with all of these is that SOTA models keep changing. I thought about getting OpenAI's Pro subscription, and then Gemini flew ahead and was free. If I get this then sooner or later OpenAI or Anthropic will be back on top.

I really liked this article, though I don't know why the author is calling the idea of finding a separating surface between two classes of points "topology." For instance, they write "If you are trying to learn a transla

So does human content. Much of the original data that GPT was trained on is Reddit posts and web pages on the internet - stuff that isn't exactly known for being a source of high quality facts.

In other countries, would it be typical to introduce someone's spouse as their "lover?"

Here's a refined version of your text: --- *DeepSeek API Rate Limit & Service Notice* DeepSeek imposes no rate limits on users, and we strive to fulfill all requests. During periods of high server traffic, responses may be delaye

I think this would have been a great argument to make 5 years ago. Now, it's absurd. DeepSeek itself can clean this up and output perfect English.
136.
by ComplexSystems 1y ago
I don't really get the point of your post. The goal is to pretend that DeepSeek doesn't have access to good English translators? Or good English translation capabilities? Why don't we just not pretend this instead?

To a native English speaker, the term "lover" here has an unnecessary sexual connotation, which is a silly thing to highlight. They are married (supposedly), and thus he is her husband.

Awful title; this is her husband, not her "lover."

This has fascinated me for years. I'll just re-link this comment of mine from a few years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37544019#37548278 . This was about Amazon products rather than government documentation

DeepSeek's documentation has a different problem, which is that there are spelling errors and weird grammatical constructions everywhere: "DeepSeek API does NOT constrain user's rate limit. We will try out best to serve every

In theory no, but so far most of these things are severely overfit to 2010s-era pop music. They are best described as muzak generators

That kind of sucks, because there's AI LLM's just about everywhere else now. Even those customer service "live chat" windows are typically AI first. What are Ask Jeeves doing?

I agree with this to some extent. Another perspective: think about the element [(1, 2, 3, 4, ...)] in the ultrafilter; let's call this omega. On some level, all of these questions are really just questions about what properties omega h

The halting problem can be approximated by a sequence of increasingly accurate computable functions - "partial halting oracles" which give the right answer on "many" inputs, with each better than the last. The sequences

Great article! Very curious how this orthogonalization + regularization idea could be extended to other kinds of series, such as Fourier series.

The point is that the author would not really be much happier if Microsoft had added a few lines admitting substantial portions of code were taken from Spegel. They probably will do this, but I doubt he will be satisfied with the result eit

I think the idea in the original post was to adjust the goalposts of the original halting problem to get something easier to solve. Instead of looking for programs that "eventually" halt while reproducing the required outputs, one
