LLM algorithm does not need to be probabilistic, we add probability to make it more interesting, but in principle it should return the same tokens for the same input (which is often desired, and we had temperature=0 for that, even if for pr

Do you treat LLM as algorithmic? I mean, the process of computing tokens is algorithmic, also the process of training, but does it mean that LLM itself follows an algorithm, in a practical sense? If yes, how is it different to a biological

From my recent experience I believe you can train your mental vision, at least to some extent. I play chess and the ability to imagine a position and moves in your head is quite common among chess players, but I was always struggling with

I've been using this app and its Android version for years (there is also one for iOS) and I've never found anything close. Too bad that the project seems to be abandoned. It's a pity, and a great loss that it was not open so

Delta is a pretty special magazine about math, physics, and astronomy that’s been around for over 50 years. What makes it cool is that even though it’s meant for high schoolers, the content is actually quite advanced — even math grads might

Even though I code for a living and mostly enjoy the process, I’ve spent the last few nights with Cursor, migrating my old C# project to Python. I decided to do it without providing my old code to the tool and without coding at all. Surpris

I recommend goQuest (mobile app), and playing 9x9 go. I used to play on KGS, but it is less crowded now (the problem is that there are too many servers: OGS, IGS, Tygem, Wbadul, etc and no one dominates, therefore you wait for the game, yo

Total Commander (well, it was Windows Commander back then) and I use it daily till today. The best purchase ever.

The problem is that we want names with distinct first letter for the simple chess notation and "horse" and "queen" conflict with "king" and each other.

Can you give some examples of this "ample historical evidence"? I saw quite convincing video recently where a guy goes through all, known to him, sources and debunks them ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WI72JNz0IC8

Very nice surprise from Google, my daughter is delighted, she rushed to her computer to make a game. It's brilliant.

Lucas chess is chess GUI, not an engine, but it comes with many different engines, some even tuned to different grandmasters styles. I am not sure what you meant by "learning how you play", but you can indeed adapt their strength

I've found this program a few months ago when I was looking for non-web free chess software for windows. There are surprisingly few options, mostly outdated and with unpleasant interface. Lucas chess is an exception. Interface looks ni

Yes, of course he knew that all occurrences are equally probable, but he took into consideration what other people bet. Anyway as I remember when asked about that strategy few years later he said he changed the sequence (to 2,3,4,5,6,7 or s

I read once about a famous mathematician who claimed that whenever he plays lottery he chooses the sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6 because nobody else would. Also it seems strange that so many people would choose a sequence that most people would call

Indeed, very interesting. Imagine the (not so distant) future web populated with ai generated gibberish that would be indistinguishable form the real thing. It could make English unusable for online knowledge sharing and could cause the swi

For each human being having GI there are many tasks that person won't be able to perform. For example proving math theorems, doing research in physics, writing a poem, etc. Specyfic AGI could have its limitations as well.

Thanks, it's a bit unexpected. How good is Power Point for math intensive animations? I am not sure I could easily (or at all) recreate most of the demos from mainm repo, but maybe I am missing something. I will have a look, I am intri

Sorry, I did not mean to be toxic. But I really believe that anyone complaining about math notation should try to propose something and show us a page or two to judge. I would also appreciate some examples showing possible improvements in n

Why don't you try and show us the result? After one page of doing probablity theory you will understand why P(X<Y) is better than probability(X<Y) (or should it be P(random_variable_defined_on_page_7 le random_variable_defined_on

Funny thing is that I still use my Samsung Note 3 (8 years old and kicking, with Android 11) and what was considered ridiculously large phone when I got it (people were laughing at me) is now the smallest one around. It was interesting to o
