I work on firmware and deep embedded systems. Trust me when I say LLMs are getting just as capable in this domain. Eg LLMs can do RF filter design. Tell the LLM your target metrics and it will give very reasonable design constraints, especi

No proponents of RSI state they will be operating outside of reality. Said another way, they will operate within the confines of what's possible and still be RSI. I'm quite surprised this is something that needs to be clarified. Y

I guess self contained RSI can only possible if the information contained in all of recorded human knowledge to date is "reality-complete", ie sufficiently captures enough about reality that a "perfectly optimum learning alg

> Recursive self improvement is ultimately limited by everything else that cannot move at the speed of electricity. I'm not sure what your point is. No one thought RSI would break the laws of physics.

It takes quite a lack of foresight to think RSI is completely speculative when it's already been demonstrated how capable agents are at long horizon tasks given suitable harness and unambiguous success criteria. It's hardly a leap

LLMs are advancing the frontiers of knowledge. Is it really that hard for you to believe that people are simply genuinely fascinated about these developments? People are burnt twice shy and have become comically cynical. Your discernment ha

I wouldn't rule out pilot testimony of UFO sightings, nor the possibility we're indeed developing a machine God. There's ample evidence to support both by now.

You might like this article about how large scale order emerges out of the small scale. Definitely lends credence to the idea that however these models work, focusing so much on them being next token predictors may rather be incidental to d

You're blaming the wrong thing. It's the Linux kernel that deliberately does not provide user land a way to change file creation times. Meanwhile XNU/macOS does.

FYI most physicians would find parent's advice agreeable. My physician said as much. It doesn't take much reading about a topic as contentious as vitamin d supplements to come to similar conclusions. Have you done any review at al

First you need to prove that human cognitive function is also not fundamentally driven by statistical processes. It's possible that "statistically driven prediction" is all we are.

It's an open question whether they're different in a way that actually matters

Unsubstantiated? Maybe if you're living under a rock and haven't once experimented with frontier LLMs yourself.

You are confusing construction of data centers with their normal operation. Data centers are silent in normal operation. It's the construction you're hearing about that is noisy, but that goes for any construction.

I think this misunderstands basic supply and demand. If there's this much global demand for RAM, there is simply no need to speculate further about intent; all else being equal, prices would have risen naturally anyways. Of course, the

No. Controlled breathwork has real effects and is not pseudoscience. You should read up on it.

In a just world, copyright should be abolished with extreme prejudice should it's continued existence prevent humanity from developing aligned artificial super intelligence.

If you want to use LLMs effectively, everything OP said is true. It has been this way since the beginning. There will be a time when long context and compaction will be effective, but now isn't it.

That you would think to ask this shows how out of touch you are. The vast majority of people wouldn't think twice if that was the trade-off to get connected. We should be talking instead of governmental oversight, and whether it makes

I agree with you. I still stand by the statement because it was a neutral observation that should be stated. Many people are too morally outraged to think straight anymore, as plainly demonstrated, but who can blame them. Hope they take it

Billionaires are not responsible for this, we the people are. Market forces and society chose this. You are emotionally disregulated and unable to think critically.

This was one of the most famous open graph theory problems lol. I am not a mathematician and even I ran into this when doing generative map design for game dev. The only thing you've demonstrated here is some very funny confidently inc

This has been known since VLMs were a thing, that more information can be encoded visually and token efficiency is increased. But it came with performance issues (more hallucinations, etc). Also I don't think you realize how much dumb

It's not a uniquely France thing. It's called heat islands, it's a real thing that happens in dense metros. Very funny to deride France education when you are the ignorant one here.
