Ant Intelligence will be next big thing in machine learning after this bubble bursts

In the first case, we'd still have a chance to take a glance at the frontier of discovery (even if ordinary human mathematicians had to spent years translating what metahumans achieved). In the second case all human-level maths would b

It's still an optimistic scenario. Artificial superintelligence may develop hypermathematics of a kind that never will be accesible to human mind, enhanced or not. One can't teach geometry to ants even if you put them on a Moebius

Only two stone handicap against the machine with much deeper tree searching capabilities. This means that KataGo is lacking in strategy compared to Shin and he could leverage this to achieve this significant win.

About 800ms - 2s startup time for emacs. I run it as as systemd service so it's only started once. hyperfine 'emacsclient -n -r file' gives me only 15ms on average

Home made sauerkraut maybe. In Spain it's impossible to buy anything decent either. Edit: Low quality may be the result of adding vinegar instead of relying on natural fermentation. Also cabagge should be cut really fine, otherwise the

Tradional bigos was made with venison. Decent sauerkraut really matters as do dried mushrooms which should include boletus. Fun fact, it gets gradually better with each reheating

Saw it today in Zaragoza. Corona was amazing but what took my breath away when I looked through my binoculars were pink (fuchsia?) prominences close to the solar disk. As describes here they are in fact plasma structures: https:/&#x2F

I think I will just cross the river and find a better place somewhere in the Parque del Agua Luis Buñuel or Expo. Should be also packed but a bit less then the bridges

I stopped taking melatonin because I had problems waking up in the morning and was getting nasty headaches even with half a dose (1 mg). Edit: Maybe I should try reducing the dose even further (to 200 μg) as mentioned in other posts here

In Spain it's a trio of consecutive eclipses from 2026 to 2028 (the last one annular). To view the second one I don't even need travel anywhere. Will be in Saragossa on Wednesday and gonna use Canon binos with image stabilization,

I'm not so sure it's just perception involved. You're going along a street and can hear a violin playing. A melody develops, you establish a sense of tonality, can predict next sounds maybe. And then you also make out a recor

It's incorrect to reduce polyphony to just shifting harmonies. Harmony is of course the constraint but the whole point is about intertwined voices - various melodies that your brain can process simultaneously. Music is not speech, but

The same is true for music, otherwise canons and polyphony wouldn't work.

Ultimately, AI models will need to ingest the slop ziggurat they created. This means, other things being equal, that it won't be so easy as it is now to achieve incremental gains from the sheer fact of gobbling up more code.

I wonder if it would be possible for Starlink to use less reflective materials for their satellites so that the sky is less polluted for the astronomers.

Yes, I was taught that relativity is a significant part of quantum chemistry equations in gold atoms 25 years ago. The idea is quite old and the title is misleading.

Calling someone "stinky manager" is not ad hominem. It's a way of saying that he's managerial skills are very poor. Does it relate to the argument? Very much so. Changing a bread factory into a slop factory makes Jarred

I think you meant lossy compression and not lossless. I'm not suggesting this as a method to extract those books from the models, which by their nature are not databases. Just commenting on the somewhat surprising fact that the bigger

Gemini should be trained on those books already, so in theory it could regurgitate some verbatim fragments (as NYT lawsuit against OpenAI showed some time ago).

Nice quote from Tao Te Ching about complexity and simplicity completing each other. The rules of go could be explained to a 4 years old. On the other hand, the superficial complexity of so many framworks/systems is just a facade and no

This is a moot point though. Before all the jobs are replaced in 2036, shouldn't we see data centres burning? Revolutions tend to succeed with only 1% of population taking part. I think it's probably that this revolution will ulti
