PKL files and the entire multiprocessing paradigm is one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with a programming language feature. Surely there has to be a better way.

The AI slop readme is a real turn off. Makes me question the quality/accuracy of the rest of the project.

Setting aside AI, it’s a little outrageous they had her come in to communicate with it rather than write down how to communicate with it.

Does auto generating tests even do anything helpful? Don’t they just sort of tautologically say the code does what it does at best or do something completely ridiculous like test a…

I’m surprised Nvidia hasn’t partnered to make a Claude chip yet. It’s a win/win you can license them out, sell them when they become obsolete, etc.

Almost surely. Apple is extremely well positioned to take advantage of this over the next decade.

And people seek out the highest quality product they can pay the lease for

I don’t think what you’re describing is a run around. The fourth amendment rulings and the interstate commerce rulings are logically consistent with the principles of the constitut…

Like I said, it is the philosophical basis.

No. This is the philosophical basis of the fifth amendment.

It is probably a good trade off if you sell cookies or if you vastly prefer eating cookies to making cookies.

It is one in the same! The apology is, of course, defending the beauty of the pursuit but at the same time the writing acknowledges the (alleged) utter lack of practicality.

One of the most famous mathematicians of all time studied number theory. He wrote an apology to humanity for all of the very smart and capable people wasting time studying number t…

One of the recent problems was actually proven with elementary results. It did use a technique not usually applied to the problem space, but it wasn’t a hyper specialized result.

Oh don’t worry it had more than a half dozen of those nested as well

You’ve never read a 5000 line recursive method that returns different numbers of arguments depending on where it chose to execute the recursive call.

> these are very specific claims in the domain of measure theory, a theory which yields almost nothing of value except endless paradoxes and naval-gazing nonsense Measure theory is…

Practically, they could enforce this in similar ways they enforce CSAM restrictions. Dialing back the severity, restrictions on any cloud hosting provider from serving these models…

The amount of money and strategic (national security) interest involved in AI seems to be at least a few orders of magnitude above scientific journal publication fees and the music…

I feel like we should consider the opposite as well. What if you actually hire someone who is great but they achieve zero results because of sheet bad luck and “help” from a produc…

This seems like an interesting theory, but when I look at the two ways it may be actuated it seems to fall apart. Either there is explicit collusion where they meet and discuss how…

Objective functions are almost always convex bounded Lipschitz functions

The loss function is.

It should be noted that optimization of a convex bounded lipschitz function is exactly what most modern statistical learning (AI) models are based on.
