Extremely capable and one shots large tasks from somewhat vague descriptions. Not AGI, not even close, that is complete nonsense. Just my opinion.

The $5,000 dividend IS a lot of gas, and really that's all it is.

I worked all summer and was able to buy a TRS 80. I could not afford the cassette storage so I'd just type my programs in line by line to run them each time. They were pretty simple. A snake like line drawer that crashed when it hit th

I was a construction superintendent a couple of decades ago and had a rented backhoe stolen overnight after I had parked it directly under cameras. This was in Sunland Park, New Mexico which is basically Eastern El Paso. The police weren&#x

Agreed. It can code and we saw it eat(ing) our former occupation, but that was always a defined finite space with defined rules and to be frank, not as hard as us practitioners liked to believe. So I don't think we can extrapolate this

It could be the mill intuition, but my thought is nothing along the lines of "computers can't have souls!" or the human mind is supernatural or anything of the sort. It's gaps in actual thinking or intelligence I notice.

Perhaps if you use a very restricted definition of symbols. If you consider symbols to be "anything that represents something" (which is the the sense I use the word in) it is fully the case. That you might not define floating poi

How exactly is this high dimensional latent space represented? Pixie dust and ethereal forces? Or floating point numbers? Where does it get the weights? Reddit? Do you hold your experience of "dogs" (for instance) as floating poin

I'll restate because both objections (which apparently skim instead of read) are missing the important point. Yes LLMs can run "what ifs" scenarios and build models. However LLMs deal entirely in symbols. 100%. Humans can &qu

While being very capable, AI is missing something required for true intelligence and I struggle to explain exactly what it is I see missing. It's not really "creativity" because much of that always was derivative in my opinio

This can be done, and in major cities as well. You get a tent, and some fentanyl and just don't go to work anymore.

I was getting a bit stiff recently and thought it might be old age creeping up. I started sleeping on the floor for a few nights on a doubled thick blanket for slight padding and after the third night (first two were a little rough) I spran

YouTube always makes those things look more feasible than they are in reality. First of all I doubt the 250K a year number just looking at the amount of produce in the field. Second of all, by the time all the expenses and distribution cost

I don't like Meta and have never had a Facebook or Insta account but New Mexico is a large shakedown operation with a state seal. From speed traps targeting out of state plates, to the poor state of medical care from large number of ma

So the tendency to hire friends and "cool looking" people instead of smart talented people will get even worse?

by mythrwy 1mo ago
I don't broadly disagree and see AI opening up opportunities that didn't exist before but with respect to companies hiring large numbers of people I wonder what the people will be doing? Come to think of it, I sort of wonder what

It is yes. I failed to make the point clear. The process may need an additional nitrogen source depending on salt content of the fish sauce. Because the required N per volume of wood chips so it composts hotly may result in too much salt fo

A little salt in compost is fine. Too much is an issue. They actually sell salt based soil amendments for areas that have been depleted of minerals. (Sea-90 is one brand). It's very lightly applied. It could be composted and that would

They could mix it with woodchips and compost it and it would be an excellent soil amendment full of trace marine minerals.

LLMs aren't perfect and they have problems, but often they write better code than humans. At least this human. It seems they run into problems with larger concepts and general organization and need guidance at the moment but for a sing

They are building data centers in the Chihuahuan Desert right now. Meta has a huge one planned right outside El Paso.

They are not asserting a fact. They are asserting a possibility. Asserting a possibility is not an assumption.

Yep. I grow around 1/3 of my food and most of my produce in the warm months. I have put a lot of effort into selecting flavorful varieties and making a flavor assisting soil medium. I cook based on what is available at the time. It&#x2

That would only be because you chose not to distinguish it. The words differ because the sentiment differs. Both sides are not "the same" manifestly. This does not mean both candidates were not morons.

by mythrwy 2mo ago
That doesn't describe the candidates on offer though. Look, I just want good rational, wise, humane low touch governance without excessive political ideology nonsense. I'm sick of the wars, sick of the lies, sick of the economic y

by mythrwy 2mo ago
I didn't say "Both sides are the same". I said both candidates were morons. As far as terms, I don't like really like either side we have on the menu right now.
