I had a similar thought when I did a file by file review of a large codebase for bugs, and Claude commented at the end "the worst file was foo.cpp", which happened to be one of onl…

What is a meal though? Do you get the same volume of food from all vendors, and the same number of calories? I definitely order multiple items from restaurants that have small port…

I am surprised nobody links this blog post demonstrating that the paper's conclusion is not true (even for gpt3.5): https://andrewmayne.com/2023/11/14/is-the-reversal-curse-rea... …

Wages could go up, it's just in the form of trillionare paying another trillionare a trillion dollars a day. GDP would be looking rosy!

I don't see why having ASI would make the top 0.001% less interested in using the energy, minerals, and land on earth. Just because they have no interest in your labor doesn't mean…

That sounds like more training data that the human is just regurgitating. Nobody I know has ever had an original thought, just combined existing thoughts that were in their trainin…

Is the legal precedent they are ignoring only 36 years old? No? I guess that makes us talking about case law older than 36 years then. (As we all know, laws less than 40 years old …

I don't like saying "oh this is AI generated" because of exactly this scenario, where maybe there is care behind it and you just used AI to help you write. The problem is that as a…

I looked into open source sensor fusion libraries for open mower, it seemed like the WOLF framework was very promising as a pluggable sensor fusion system. http://mobile_robotics.p…

Just because you state your opinion confidently, does not mean you are correct. For example, as of 2024, there are 30 billion kilograms of proven reserves of lithium, more than eno…

I'm suspicious of the theorem proving example. I thought Z3 could fail to return sat or unsat, but he is assuming that if it's not sat the theorem must be proven

Does anyone know of a board state that doesn't involve arbitrary actions, but a specific finite setup, which would nonetheless require the solution of an unsolved conjecture in ord…

I'm not sure I agree. I think just having wings that flex a bit is mechanically simpler than having an additional rotating propellor. After all, rotating axles are so hard to evolv…

As someone who implemented some RL algorithms and applied them to a real world game, (including all the ones mentioned in the article), I would be surprised if the implementation i…

Double entry book keeping is just recording the "edge" in two places, once based on the source node, and once based on the target node. So you have a nice list of all edges coming …

Admittedly not a statistician, but I think the article is missing the point. The reason why people circle the P values is because nobody actually cares about the thing the p-value …

Did anyone else think there were several transitions that seemed like pure GPTisms? > This isn’t innovation—it’s institutional auto-cannibalism. The new mission statement? Optimiza…

To be honest I feel like I have seen much better expositions of zero knowledge proofs. The playing cards example is nice in some ways, but people are often exposed to trickery rega…

Make it throw an exception with an index out of bounds to terminate the loop.

Once you have some experience, phrases like this are a dead giveaway: "and honestly? It’s incredible to watch". Also 30 em dashes in almost as few sentences.

Do you have a link to your codes letter available online?

It's weird to bring it up in response to an article about the US falling behind authorities china and how that's bad. Unless you think we can't improve our energy infrastructure in…

China is installing solar capacity at three times the rate of coal. What exactly is your point? There's no "wonders of china", just the fact that we are falling further behind beca…

It does not have obstacle avoidance, the best it has is recognizing it keeps getting stuck and skipping the next goal until it finds a goal it can reach. This can often look like o…
