In what way does your brain change state while sleeping that a model does not change state via constant fine-tune updates?

If I go to sleep, wake up, and then go to sleep again am I a different conscious entity each time?

If I operate a nuclear reactor or a hydroelectric dam there are regulators that tell me what i'm allowed to do, so as to keep my profit motive from overwhelming the public interest. If we want AI to actually have some safety rails, thi

Individual skills and differences don't matter any less if the system of assigning value to human lives is divorced from how useful that human is to the collective. If I am not graded on how many widgets I make in a shift and instead c

Models are not deterministic, but they do have a flavor . When that flavor changes it can change the nature of output in a way that is undesirable. Sort of like shooting a rifle - where the bullets hit is (to some order of magnitude, no ph

I hear a lot about these mythical slobs and slackers that we're all so much better than. I very rarely meet them. I mostly run into people doing their best with the resources they've got available to them.

And it makes a lot of sense why they are limited. DNA is not an instruction set. It's more like a heavily encrypted dataset where the encryption key is the totality of physics and biology . The interactions with the physical world

It's not confusing so much as it is genius marketing. They're hooking into a relatively widespread slang word and turning it into their product.

This is essentially building an experiment designed for the LLM to fail. It's like saying if you light your clothes on fire they will burn you. Ya, of course they will! LLMs are not magic. If you set them up to be imaginary racists the

if it is it's genius marketing - they aren't pervert glasses, they're tools to fight the man!!! The longer I typed in that sentence the more convinced I am youre probably right.

Wait, so both you fridge and your monitor self-connected to wifi? Or you installed monitor software that served as some kind of iot gateway? Every time you tell this story it gets weirder.

The world is absolutely packed with incredibly hard working people who make excellent decisions and die like a dog of a preventable disease in a slum somewhere. Yes, luck. Hard work is table stakes. It is necessary but wholely insufficient.

There is no argument from which this can be minimized. Even in an incredibly rich country like the US this is an enormous expense. You're looking at this from the top of a field that is already at the top of the economic pyramid which

How do you purchase them? Supply chain mixing is rough with a lot of retailers.

Unless you're running cables inside an oven just buy SOOW aka EPDM cables. They are the recognized standard for flexible, rugged cable assemblies resistant to just about everything. Silicone rubber is only used in very special cases be

What model of fridge?! How did you know the random device on your network was your non-smart fridge? This is a wild story. I want to believe but if it's true I think there's no sane solution other than exploratory surgery on every

Before the LLMs made the emdash the tool of the electronic oppressor I used it often enough and other people did too. I hate that it's basically become the little hitler moustache of punctuation. There was at least one guy who was real
