Read some Peter Watts. He imagined biological neural nets in jars used as firewalls to get a usable network connection... Not far off now.

because arc agi involves de novo reasoning over a restricted and (hopefully) unpretrained territory, in 2d space. not many people use LLMs as more than a better wikipedia,stack overflow, or autocomplete....

hopefully the free plastic feedstock from oil will go away soon. if polyester cost as much as cotton or wool, it wouldnt be wasted by these scum sucking bottom feeder manufacturers. Thank you China for forcing the world into the solar bat

if you like alien aliens, psychology and biology, Blindsight is your bag. Much darker though.

that's an interesting perspective. are expensive ads higher quality? but are they therefore pushed more to justify the cost? does the higher cost improve the information conveyed?

this exact 'cottage industry' you speak of is what existed in north america and started little conpanies like Apple, etc. The sad fact that we lost all of these because of the entire electronics supply and design chain moving to T

At the 1940s Manhattan project, back when computer meant a job: "person who computes mathematical statements", major advancements were made in the integration of hyperbolic PDEs, by substituting electro-mechanical and then vacuum-

hrm. on nature portrait photography 600x600 upscale, it has a LOT of artifacts. Perhaps too far out of distribution? That said, your examples are promising, and thank you for posting a HF space to try it out!

Eh? By all indications compute is now evolving SLOWER than ever. Moore's Law is dead, Dennard scaling is over, the latest fab nodes are evolutionary rather than revolutionary. This isn't the 80s when compute doubled every 9 mon

Thanks for all your work buro9! I've been an lfgss user for 15 years. This closure as a result of bureaucratic overreach is a great cultural loss to the world (I'm in Canada). The zany antics and banter of the London biking com

We just have to get creative, or discover some new physics :-) In addition to the ark-ship colony, or the cryosleep slow ship: 1. Assuming it's a stream of robotic probes doing flybys, without decelerating, we have the Breakthrough Sta

it's a skill that takes 15 minutes to learn. maybe 30 if you include roasting your own beans. it could be taught in highschool to everyone. hardly requires a bustling industry to solve this 'problem' or provide this 'v

Yes it was a cautionary tale, but not about the technology, but about the role of empathy and the human spirit. The actual technology of Gattaca has already started 50 years ago with the first "test tube babies" and IVF treatments

A fantastic view on the nature of inference and the physical world! What I appreciate most about our LLM adventures in the past 5 years, is that it's finally: 1. Plausible to discuss, and find hints of what "AI" might mean -

Thank you! That makes a lot more sense than several other descriptions of the proof I have read (and promptly forgotten!)

Passport might be a bit onerous - it's expensive and painful process and many don't need it. But it's a hilarious sign of worldwide government incompetence that social insurance or other citizen identification cards are not s

LLM Code Assistants have succeeded at facilitating reusable code. The grail of OOP and many other paradigms. We should not have an entire industry of 10,000,000 devs reinventing the JS/React/Spring/FastCGi wheel. Im sure th

LOL "the market demands". Sure, and Opium was also demanded by the market, should we just add it to all food items?

Watch the Tencent adaptation - like 30 episodes on just the first book (with subtitles). Really well done and faithful to the first novel.

What? It was outstanding for the time, great price performance, and very tunable for clock / voltage IIRC.

Yes, openAI is dumping the market with chat-gpt 3.5. Vulture capital behaviour at its finest, and I'm sure government regulations will definitely catch on to this in 20 or 30 years... It's cheaper than the ELECTRICITY cost of run
