Thank you for comment. Knew little about the man himself. "I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenl…

Look, you are welcome to your 'opinion' but the q remains (given that there are only 2 choices here) as how pipeling is a form of "synchronous" communication. [p.s.]: pipelining is…

That was not a description. I merely appended the primary motivation for pipelining. We trade latency for throughput in pipelining.* It's also not opinion. When pipelining, the com…

Pipelining is a kind of asynchronous communication that we employ to maximize throughput.

> I didn't assert anything except for what was in the comment. That seems to be the case. I take that assert back. p.s. just checked out the wiki for Donald Hoffman. Thank you for …

But you're stuck in sort of meta duality yourself: you assert a distinction between reality and phenomena (such as consciousness). Did we actually -prove- that consciousness can no…

One can get a glimpse of the ever present One and its generations in modular mathematics. If we discard the insistence on numbers being simply a monotonically generated sequence (|…

You are correct and doing fine. The authority to check with is Kenneth Frampton and his Modern Architecture . He categorized Safdie as postmodern . I just checked and apparently my…

I think the social concerns around attributing personhood to LLMs transcend ideological concerns.

I suggest using 'form' instead of 'shape'; the latter is mainly concerned with external form . In context of LLMs, form would be the internal mapping, and shape the decoded text th…

This is a seriously disturbing read at so many levels. "In May 2003, at age 72, Gardner dosed himself with painkillers and stabbed himself to death." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

I completely hedged that with two "may"s. Agreed re it depends on task at hand.

You should quickly skim sections marked with a (comically fat) "!" symbol. These indicate their "key design choices and insights" in the design space.

MoMA closed for years , twice, in 21st century, as they expanded. Maybe they have something like MoMA QNS in mind for Centre. (The original MoMA was a minor gem and an oasis in mid…

What is intriguing is that while French politics drove the project, it is entirely a British building plopped in the middle of Paris. It's a pity Jean Nouvel wasn't around then - h…

That conflates perception with perceiver. LLMs have only internalized [/encoded] our perceptions and expressions. From a model of the mind pov, the 'self' that we sense has an inte…
