I wonder if there is a rigorous/formal method to identify 'monotonicity' in code? Seems like it should be straightforward...

They may both be barriers but I have to concur that Qualcomm's especially is well known for the patent strategy and a good portion of their revenue comes from licensing IP that is …

Prompt engineering was just trying to fit all the context into one prompt - but actually there would often be a series of prompts both positive and negative so... I get coining a n…

Mindfulness and building the habit of letting go - let thoughts pass by like clouds, or landscape passing from a train. You notice the thought, but do not dwell on it. The initial …

Java's API docs are very complete and explicit. Certain points about the language, as well as certain long-existing open source projects have been discussed ad-nauseum online. This…

My take on choice of language: 1) Java has the largest, oldest and most explicit data set for the LLM to reference, so it's likely to be the most thorough, if not the most correct.…

I strongly agree. FAANG has the money to do the research. LLMs are far from intelligent - AGI will require a number of other advances.

Exponentially bad word choice even... since we're using that word however we want now? I don't think this is meaningless or non-constructive pedantry - we're a technical community …

I hadn't heard of this and it's fun to think about. It's 100,000 s/day as opposed to our current 86,400 s/day which is not far off. Hours, however, were twice as long. They had tim…

Polonius was famously wrong about everything.

The POTUS should not have this authority obviously, BUT As "Ivies" grew their endowments at hundreds of percent faster than their student bodies, they became essentially hedge fund…

i believe pineapple pizza is a favorite and they'll eat the whole damn thing.

The article says "individual cells within MMB consortia are not genetically identical, they differ slightly in their genetic blueprint."

Love the writing as well as the content here. Especially fascinated by the coordinated replication. Also curious about magnetotactics - why would such a small scale organism need t…

"Places like Alabama, practically the only way women can get ahead is to either move out of state or keep marrying up." This sounds like an assumption that a woman could not have a…

Fasting is a natural state. Food addiction is real, as is lack of discipline. Just stop overeating. That's the magic bullet. Always has been. What's not helpful is looking for weir…

Cool! Now do it for cetaceans.

"all models are wrong, but some are useful" - George E Box

And how did you stop it?

Start from here : Stop using Google search and use an AI. No more irrelevant results, no more ads. No more slop to wade through. BTW I find Claude is great at making graphs and dia…

I've been thinking about how this happens with human cognitive development. There's a constant reinforcement mechanism that simply compares one's predicted reality with actual real…

While I agree with the thrust against deification and idolatry - these characterizations border on naive and myopic: "remember that AI is but a pale reflection of humanity" and "AI…

and possibly not even credited for the content you created... True

Definitely a possibility - hopefully AI will similarly empower creation of better content instead of AI slop noise. In fact I wonder if Claude.ai could come up with similar CPU tea…
