Each of those agents ends up making "decisions" that lead it to look at some things over others. Given infinite the same agent could eventually fully explore all those options, but each one explores things a bit differently due to

Fine. "The LLM produced a chain of reasoning consistent with a belief that X is happening." I've found it fairly helpful to anthropomorphize systems to communicate things about their behavior, despite them obviously not being

An LLM is not me. It is capable of doing more "work" but it also doesn't have my mental models and experience. My colleagues know roughly my areas of expertise. If I say "I think that X is happening" they'll as

But the write should have triggered a page fault immediately in that case, and should have been blocked on the page being actually allocated before resuming.

So the theory is that the page is faulted in, then somehow evicted within 10 instructions, then re-faulted in somewhere else, resulting in writes not making it to the page? That would need a context switch and another page fault to happen i

There is not a perfect solution. There are many bad solutions. There are a few solutions that are OK but with different tradeoffs.

Not sarcastic, but I probably didn't convey the subtlety of what I was trying to say in a one line comment. I was objecting to the defeatist "oh the tech is there, so we can't do anything about it" attitude. I tried to c

The tech's also been there to put cameras everywhere, and to wiretap every phone, etc. We put guardrails in place to control how that tech is deployed.

The hierarchical (log(n)) approach to bucketing here is fine for an "I just want to shard this N ways, N will never change" but is extremely intolerant of bucket mutations. Part of the point of rendezvous hash and consistent hashi

But intelligent beings are fundamentally fallible? That's kind of the nature of doing leaps of reasoning: sometimes those leaps are amazing, sometimes they're wrong. It's what's advertised.

In companies I've been in, insider trading windows close because there's been a certain amount of time since the last report. So less frequent reports = more time for insider to know things that aren't public yet = more time

"only 8 cents of every dollar shows up as direct aid and grants" That's an extremely misleading statement. For instance, a food bank giving away food to a pantry does not count as "direct aid and grants" (at least,

Easily. Going from 700 -> 1000 ft spacing adds 150 feet of walking (x2 for both sides of the trip). That's about 1 minute. Over a mile you'd reduce the number of stops by 2.2. So above 2 miles it's faster even for the lowe
