    Everyone is starting to express themselves as LLMs. I fell prey to having LLMs “copyedit” some of my words when I wanted to make sure I got my point across, but I am trying to stop…

    Public education is important. Without it, it’s harder to stay above average. But there are those who say “it is not my duty to fund the education of anyone else.” Hence, here we a…

    Yes, it’s contradictory to some degree. On purpose. That’s part of living it. My “advice” is also US-centric, where I have observed time and again what truly leads to one getting t…

    My advice is: Don’t let someone else control your life. Switch occupation every 2 years, even if you find a great environment. Don’t chase, for what you need must come to you. Unde…

    If somehow recovering the capex expenditure is not counted, if somehow the cost of developing future models is not counted, then yes, inference costs of current leading models allo…

    There are people who think knowledge discovery is just a matter of parroting past behavior and trying things at random until something sticks. I don’t.

    Force is supreme until you use it, then everyone knows it has limits.

    So…calculators are intelligent? How about accountants that failed arithmetic 101 in high-school, are they intelligent? Generally intelligent?

    We are jagged, but we can smooth that jaggedness if we choose to do so. LLMs stay jagged.

    The real question is: Can it be generated using programs? If it can be, then LLMs will eventually monkey type these programs.

    Yes. I doubt it can do that.

    I am thinking there’s a large category of problems that can be solved by resampling existing proofs. It’s the kind of brute force expedition machine can attempt relentlessly where …

    It does seem good, but it’s slow.

    I was going to say something, then I realized my cynicism is already at maximum.

    Is it just me or does it feel like billionaires of that ilk can never go broke no matter how bad their decisions are? The complete shift to the metaverse, the complete shift to LLM…

    They learn the value of specific actions in specific contexts based on the rewards they received during their play time. Specific actions and specific contexts are not transferable…

    What John Carmack is exploring is pretty revealing. Train models to play 2D video games to a superhuman level, then ask them to play a level they have not seen before or another 2D…

    Such a weird move. They must have too much cash because they are not buying GPUs from Jensen.

    It costs someone something, but no one their freedom. Mass ignorance is the opposite. As for degrees with no use, pretty sure these are the byproducts of education for profit, with…

    If anything in any country should be free, it should be education. And, obviously, the administration of education should never be a for-profit venture. Valuing democracy and being…

    Yes, you must be able to recognize the right answers and separate them from the hallucinations and crappy engineering. Maybe it’ll get to a point where even people who don’t have a…

    I have been doing this for 30 years now. The software industry is all about selling variations of the same stuff over and over and over. But in the end, the more software there is …

    Isn’t this equivalent to maximizing latent space activation without corrective user input? How does it implement self correction or backtracking?

    What’s the time and space complexity of the new approach?
