Whether they are or not is irrelevant to the difference- there is still an explicit division between training and inference, with reinforcement of the statistics of the training se…

I think it is uncontentious that we are not designed at all. But to address the intended spirit of the question: are we restricted to output that is a close fit for our training se…

The tu quoque argument doesn't really work here. LLMs are specifically designed to output either material from their training set or instances that look statistically like it. Huma…

If you are relying on live updates to change state in a dynamic language then you are not doing it "surgically", unless there is some other definition that means hitting it softly …

Kind of weird how LoC has become a metric for people to chase again.

I don't think you can describe his beliefs using booleans like that: you have to use a numeric scale. It would be be correct to say: Elon would need a hell of a lot of ketamine to …

Alternatively you may want to be a passive investor using the current rules for index inclusion, rather than having them altered to favor this loss-making trashcan on fire.

> The world seems to be fragmenting, into those that see the value in the latest from Google, and those that resist changes like this. This reads as a strongly closed minded claim …

That is the ugliest Ferrari I've ever seen.

kind of wild that you think there has been no shift in culture between 1970 and 2020

with a mastercard from a swedish bank that is the experience that i get. all online transactions pop up a page from my back with qr code, this is authenticated through an app that …

Dead code elimination is run multiple times, including after other optimizations. So code that is not initially dead may become dead after propagating other information. Converting…

Nobody said one rack. Your entire rant is misguided. He analyzed what it would take to put one rack on one starlink like package in order to build a constellation.

Later in the video he runs through the changes needed for 100kw per rack.

The details might bury his point rather than illustrate it. The driving theme throughout seems to be that a tool tuned for correct syntax, with deep understanding of semantics will…

Take it gently, the poor thing doesn't understand the difference between code and talking about code.

In addition both have a property similar to dispersion. In crypto each change to an input bit should cascade through as many output bits as possible. In ML each output bit should d…

> rollout will be incremental and it will self monitor by defining success conditions at rollout time. This sounds a lot like allowing an LLM to define tests as well as implementat…

and then we start to embed comments // concatenate pairs of parameters, e.g. x and y become xy // the pairing of open and claw is vital to understanding the function

"in a wild or unsupervised state" seems like a particularly apt description of children. it does not seem to be derogatory: language really should be evocative as often as literal.…

There are standard convex assumptions to handle incompleteness, decidability etc, i.e. the results are an over-approximation that terminates. Picking a approximation that is precis…

The article describes fuzzing the library, this execution requires a program to be compiled. Typically fuzzing involves a minimal harness around the payload (a single call into the…

What is the program? There are two different answers to this question, and which one is "correct" depends entirely on the context of who is asking it. 1. It's the code that is spec…

But is fair to state that the verification was *incomplete*, which is what the article does.
