About icandoit

I like python, computer vision, machine learning, and embedded linux. Javascript and C aren't so bad. Java when I must.

Sometimes hard problems require original solutions.

Let me know if I can help you build something.

    LLM adoption is 30% in the charts I saw googling for "ai adoption". An example of capibility: I have had Claude one shot an RL agent that learns connect four in 30 minutes. That's …

    Nothing follows from this empty platitude though, right? It can't inform you choices or decisions? It's just a disempowering thought? They are buying up all the RAM today. Do you t…

    If the production, and distribution of the tech is confined to one or two companies, then those two companies and the resulting power that comes to them, makes them the de facto wo…

    I think interpreting the rejection of broad, impersonal, policy based remediation to climate response is a way or expressing a preference for a more personal response, sharing thei…

    We could sell options on their future incomes, or taxes. An idea worth exploring. How can we encourage investment in future generations?

    Which means your heating bill will explode. Right now gas in America is easier to sell to Americans. But liquidized gas will change that. At least this will mean that opec won't be…

    Why is Larry Sanger trying to sabotage Wikipedia? If Wikipedia can resist the urge to enshittify longer than anyone else, they've earned it.

    We want the LLM to learn the multiplication algorithm not an incomplete set of tables. The algorithm might be smaller and will be more complete. Honestly, our technology has outpac…

    There is the logical system that turns prolog into SQL. Something like this might be useful for nuero symbolic computing. Graph languages like cypher seem a lot more limited.

    Something like vine lang or something built on interaction nets might be close to what you are looking for. It can run on GPU.

    Let's ask the robots what they think about how we should regulate robots. This will be useful feedback to determine whether humans actually should or should not. Maybe they can eve…

    AI would never be able to hijack the political process. AI Super-PACs dominating elections would be a clear milestone in the progression of the "gradual disempowerment" theory of l…

    I wondered if this was using interaction combinators like the vine programming language does. I haven't read much that explains how they do it. I have been very slowly trying to bu…

    If you know how it works, you can make it better,faster,cheaper. Without the 300k starting salaries. I imagine that is a stronger incentive. It's the users of the LLMs that want to…
