Next token predictor is as useful as saying that humans are just atoms and neurones. It is technically true but meaningless.

A good harness is a universal harness. It should not depend on the model at all. I foresee harness being the edge that people have. For instance, if you are able to encode laws as a lean program, that would be an absolutely insane harness t

I understand the sentiment, but in a world where these kinds of problems (And problems at work) that can trivially be solved by LLMs; what kind of value can I provide? That itself is a learning experience. What is even the point of technica

I have used Codex (Sol 5.6 or whatever) to solve this problem. It turns the problem into Z3, then iteratively work through the problems until it figured out the solution. Personally, I did not learn that much from that experience. So I am g

OP should read Bhagavad Gita. The ancient Indian have talked about this for a very long time. Ashtavakra Gita have also talked about realizing that oneself is pure observer. It is a deep, deep book. You either get it or don't, unfortun

I am sure they invest well, but they don't invest locally. So most of the economy is choked by the few.

I have a theory that this issue happens because we put money into the stock market for our pension. This creates a concentration of wealth/money into a relatively few organizations. I think money and wealth should be created more local

There's no reason why an ideal body needs to have such a high center of gravity though? Clearly we are wasting a lot of energy and capacity to maintain that balance. I am pretty the ideal body is actually a spider.

I am very interested in figuring out how people use LLMs for learning. I definitely have the knowledge, but it is severely autistic in a way. OTOH, I am curious if there's a "practical value" to this exercise? If the LLM alre

There is but the cost is way, way higher from what I can tell. If I want a customized metal shielding with awkward shapes, I can just walk down to Shenzhen and have 10 people clamoring to make it. Does the US have the same?

Yes, I don't. I have my own harness where the agent is only able to do a set of predefined things and none of them involves the internet. However, I imagine the model could be a lot smaller if it does not have the baggage of coding and
