Intelligence in humans probably stops being useful for the individual at some level, indeed. But that might be due to being in an environment that's unable to feed that intelligence and execute on the ideas in generates.

Making balls ever rounder clearly has diminishing returns, as there's a limit to roundness. Is there a similar limit to intelligence though?

They're using competitor output as additional training input. Shrug.. It's not like they have access to the weights.

That's assuming the ops team has infinite capacity.

Or optimize a bit earlier and prevent having to scale out to a bazillion systems.

Ah sorry, I read your earlier comment as you being at 15% of your weekly (so the prompt consuming 85%).

How can you burn through your weekly budget in 20 minutes? You'd hit your 5 hour budget way before that, right?

According to the article: the game was 22MB and only the first 32kB of the .exe were encrypted.

How could it understand, if there's no distinction between that and "from foo logically follows bar"? If the notes it's taking for itself don't make sense, it might just as well not take them.

If a fuse can be replaced by something that's a lot cheaper and also effective.. why not?

A large part of the reason that these are multi million dollar vehicles is that it needs to safely sustain a human pilot in it. Also, that pilot does need to get paid on the 350 days a year that there are no forest fires to be extinguishe

Industries can be trapped in a local optimum. It sometimes a fresh take (and a heavy bag of investor money) is needed to get to a higher level.

> The only thing not allowed (rightly so) is to produce a copy with enough similarities that it can be replacing the original. But LLMs are replacing the original, just in different words. And what does 'legally obtain' mean

Gemini is also notorious for its hoop jumping, which you can bypass effortlessly with OpenRouter.

I don't think that's true. If a context contains a statement followed by something opposing that statement, that will confuse the model. So "actually wait, I really need to" is there to signal that the previous thinking

My impression is that when you allow the model to use internal thinking as opposed to asking it to output its thinking first, it's more likely to backtrack when I detects a flaw in its plan. Said otherwise: once producing user-facing o

If your compression algrotihm is deep enough (think LLM), it will capture a lot of abstraction, making it compress well even in future cases that differ from the passed but fit the scheme in some other way.

A loved one being treated in the ER? A concerning test result turning up, requiring me to come in soon? A spot for a treatment I've been queueing for becoming available last-minute? Email can be unreliable and slow.

I hardly ever get international spam calls. Nowadays they seem to mostly come from domestic (Dutch) numbers in the range reserved for mobile phones. When answering the line is silent for two or three seconds (a lot of internet round-trips t

Satellite/drone detection of nuclear material? Shooting missiles out of the sky?

Yes! But if science is bottlenecked by funding, making it cheaper might help?

I think they're overcorrecting for being too long-winded in previous generations (and still, in some cases). I guess this is a hard balance to get right.

My reply still works when s/develop/innovate/. Companies were (and are) allowed to innovate in order to solve the blocking problems around supersonic flight. They just weren't allowed to ignore those blocking problems.
