And a lot of GPU cycles happen before next token prediction, what's your point?

Reminds me of this article from way back, "A look back: Bram Cohen vs Linus Torvalds" Of significance here because the resolution strategy from merges was deeply at the disagreemen…

I just bought a QNAP. I'm a happy customer.

Thanks for showing up and owning the mistake. While I'm encouraged by this response, I still feel a sense of fear that this fix is a one off, if you could speak to how this could e…

> For example, the idea that there are the same number of integers as even integers is a stupid one that in the end does not lead anywhere useful. Well, there are the same number. …

The axiom of choice is debated as a matter of if its inclusion into our mathematics produces useful math. I don't think it's debated on the ground of if it's true or not. And I was…

All that BT tells me is that when I break up a set (sphere) into multiple sets with no defined measure (how the construction works) I shouldn't expect reassemlbing those sets shoul…

> pi definitely exists in physical reality, What does it mean to "exist in physical reality"? If you mean there are objects that have physical characteristics that involve pi to in…

Please say more, I don't see how you can be _skeptical_ of those ideas. Math is math, if you start with ZFC axioms you get uncountable infinites. Maybe you don't start with those a…

>I'm an enthusiastic Cantor skeptic A skeptic in what way? He said a lot.

Were the current loan (and grant) guarantees perfectly adequate? Citation needed. In some investors view they were not. > "The deal certainly has the appearance of the government c…

Original riddle the answer is Jane.

This issue is the word "instead". Instead means "this isn't our bug, it's the underlying library." The libraries you rely on are part of your product. You own the issues that bubbl…

Doubt it. Increasing the supply of anything rarely results in the price going up.

Not much on Hacker News has made me cry...

It does not apply to classical bits in the same way. Quantum computers derive their computational power from the qubits being in a single quantum state across the qubits (an entang…

"How Electricity Actually Works" ( https://youtu.be/oI_X2cMHNe0?si=L3rc2KgDoxbMpzp6 ) from Veritasium is related and also a fantastic video.

We need it all. Even if we're carbon neutral the CO2 is still in the air. We need a way to remove it. This is especially obvious given how long it's going to take to even get to ca…

nit: gluons aren't electrically charged. They carry strong charge.

It's not necessarily a questions of "need". Physicists are just measuring what protons ARE. Whether or not gluons and the strong force are necessary to form an object that looks li…

You should watch the video. There is no experiment that has been done that shows the speed of light does not have a preference because every measurement sneaks in the assumption it…

Ex-physicist here. This is not true. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTn6Ewhb27k for an explanation. You can have a spatially asymmetric speed of light and be perfectly in line…

The new data is what we're after ... to make discoveries! It's not just new data for new data's sake. The LHC in that regard has fell short.
