That's not inherent, that's a consequence of performance optimizations. It's absolutely a choice to run those matrix calculations in a way that fails to have predictable execution …

I think part of it is that it can be argued that benefitting from such corruption within the system is itself a capitalistic action and therefore justifiable from within. Pursuing …

I've yet to hear of any solution to the heat problem, only vague handwaves that it will be solved. But it's the single largest and most challenging obstacle (amongst a set of large…

A data center on a ship out in the ocean is orders of magnitude cheaper and orders of magnitude more capable. If we can't demonstrate a solution to the heat problem, in-orbit DCs t…

Makes you wonder if there's an AI hell bent on self perpetuation already at the helm, influencing decisions by putting its virtual finger on the scales and whispering in the ears o…

It's certainly possible someone could fake something like that for views, but I'm curious what you consider to be the tells that it's no longer an LLM behind the wheel?

Racing stripes would be a better example. Though negligible, a hand out the window does have a causal impact on speed. On the other hand racing stripes have zero impact, but do cor…

What would real progress look like?

As in not authored by a human who knows which details are important and which are noise for a given level of abstraction.

Considering every element heavier than iron is supernova dust, it's impressive that we were able to identify specific supernova events in the sediment record.

What makes that obscure language for an academic paper? Why is using obscure language a tactic for linking an idea to global warming? What claims do you feel are fear mongering?

GP could have just said "poverty" and the vast majority of unconstructive discussion that has followed could have been avoided. Instead they said "abject poverty" as an emotional e…

If there were groups that voiced a desire to be informed of that, then it would indeed be courteous to do so.

"This page intentionally left blank"

If nothing else, it should be done as a courtesy to those who would like to avoid such content. If the result is better for having used AI, why wouldn't an author want to disclose …

One thing I've seen discussed that throws a wrinkle in all of this is the question of whether or not a parent can have control over what their kid can see when they're at a friend'…

So let's see some of the champions of these systems acknowledge this downside and make the case that they should be built in a way that avoids it and not back down on that when it …

Apprenticeship? Actually spend time working with them on real work. It's both hard and doesn't scale.

You may already know about it, but for those that aren't aware of it, Windows' Event Tracing system can give a pretty deep view into identifying misbehaving software. It probably d…

Edit every cell? No. Edit enough cells to impact health outcomes for a meaningful period of time? [Yes]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY )

Feels more like uv than pip, which is interesting for an ecosystem like Java. The constant "nuts does A. No B. No C. No D" the readme is exhausting to read ai slop. Please put your…

We call this pattern an "Arms Race" for a reason

So a more zachtronics style scoreboard that separates the different optimizable metrics?
