Leaving aside the question of whether the universe is discrete or continuous, a simulation would still have lower "resolution" than the real world, and some information can be lost…

The article is about (position, move) pairs. Why not call these objects "steps"?

In what sense is looking at a screen a failure to prepare for the world that adults navigate? Adults also look at screens.

> However, even using extra hardware wasn't enough in this case. So they pre-calculated lookup tables for sine, cosine, tangent etc. for every angle at the necessary precision. Is …

Are you planning to decelerate by crashing into the planet at relativistic speed?

I guess you mean k log k, not n log n.

What's so difficult about optical links from deep space compared to low earth orbit, where 200 gigabit throughput has been achieved? Is it just the attenuation? I would have imagin…

That is not strictly true. The weather at time t0 may affect non-weather phenomena at time t1 (e.g. traffic), which in turn may affect weather at time t2. Furthermore, a predictive…

> there is nothing in principle stopping us from running this machine for BB(748) steps How would we compute the value of BB(748)?

So to summarize, the game tree complexity is estimated by estimating the branching factor and the game length, and raising the former to the power of the latter. I find it slightly…

How were these numbers arrived at?

Seems like no collision is detected if you move the ball through the cloth fast enough.

ISTM that's just an a priori feeling. The value or lack thereof of the product totally depends on how accurately it predicts human survey responses, which you can't know without lo…

I think a median rating of 5 stars makes sense for a taxi service. You want the rating system to be able to express varying levels of bad. There are many levels of bad outcomes for…

I am not a vision expert, but simply matching the resolution of your display to the resolution of your sensor wouldn't necessarily produce a clear image, unless the pixels are alig…

The `find_item` example uses List for an argument. To my thinking, this indicates that the function is intended to mutate the argument. I don't think that was the author's intentio…

> It seems to me all we need here is a measure of confidence for the result averaged over the entire answer. Low confidence is a guess/hallucination. Even if the model knows the ex…

> Like any good mystery, the fun was in the build up and as we move towards a resolution there's a bitter sweet aspect to the slightly mundane reality of it 'merely' being an emerg…

This is just a guess, but I don't think there's such a deep lesson here; language models and image models have simply been developed by mostly-different groups of researchers who c…

I'm not sold on the concept of AI-hard or AI-complete problems. For example, the Wikipedia article on AI-completeness mentions Bongard problems and Autonomous driving as examples o…

This seems not quite right to me. A Turing machine may always halt, but with time depending on its input size. The input can be arbitrarily large, so there's no finite bound on the…

A small latitude difference does not imply that you can ignore curvature. I am just guessing, but perhaps your intuition is that the shortest path should lie along a line of latitu…

I think that's not a bad summary, though? Perhaps you would say it is a probabilistic next-token chooser, but that just seems like a very minor distinction.

Assuming all values are unequal, there are n factorial (abbreviated n!) possible cases that we need to distinguish. If we are sorting by comparison, then each comparison will elimi…

Might it have been Glory Season?
