Fantastic idea... Now I'm gonna start thinking about what dumping heat into a 4th dimension might mean realistically... We need the heat to leave without the chip getting in the wa…

Interesting... Exhaustive brute force prompting might expose previously unknown capabilities in existing models. Seems like a whole can of worms.

Here's an actual simulation of the fusion reactor I'm working on: http://www.ddprofusion.com/simulation/

When I worked on autonomous vehicles I realized that if I really wanted to figure out how to get the vehicle to end up where I wanted, I had to model the actual processes involved.…

The unstructured input attack surface problem is indeed troublesome. AI right now is a bit gullible, but as systems evolve they will become more robust. However, even humans are vu…

What an amazing and strange effect! I'm not even going to attempt to evaluate the reasons or causes because it's brand new to me. How wonderful to find something new like this!

What if we just aren't doing enough, and we need to use GAN techniques with the LLMs. We're at the "lol, ai cant draw hands right" stage with these hallucinations, but wait a coupl…

Yeah, what was I thinking?? I really need to slow down sometimes. This should contain every finite pattern, right?

Since it's not provable with pi, then we'd have to do a more circuitous proof of every finite pattern occurring. Inspired by Champernowne's constant, I propose a Pontifier Pattern …

The thing that blows my mind is: say you start filling the plane with pi. Pi has been proven to contain every finite sequence. That means that somewhere in the plane is a full phys…

Always a fun read :) they turned it into a futurama episode

My mother is currently dying in the hospital with breathing problems. I mentioned this to her earlier today... I thought this would have been much farther along than it is. Hurry u…

Here's a couple of sources that back up what I was talking about: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9200021 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer%27s_principle

I remember reading somewhere that because Ternary computing is inherently reversible, that from an information theoretic point of view that ternary computations have a lower theore…

I recently saw another video about a high accuracy 3d positioning stage. The differences and similarities were very interesting. For instance, both used rigid rods with ball joints…

I'm attempting to revive/create a streaming service to compete with Netflix et al. without any DRM. This would leverage physical media to eliminate requirements from copyright hold…

I did this by accident in bash scripts many years ago when I was just getting into linux. I'd be running a script, and editing the script at the same time. It caused some REALLY we…

Consistency is key. I need it too. With 1000 things pulling me this way and that, I get the most done when I just open my IDE and do it. It's so hard though. I feel like an agoraph…

I started thinking about Ven diagrams too and how that might be a useful flow control mechanism. It feels like there is a disconnect somewhere, and im not sure what it is.

I had an idea a few years ago that it might be useful to be able to detect if someone started flickering their lights in an S-O-S pattern. Sounds like this system might have been a…

Imagine a being inside a turing machine wondering what came before it was turned on... implying the turing machine is even on and we're not just looking at the set of all possible …

-Just watched the lecture again, and you wouldn't actually see the outside universe speed up.

Found the lecture. Here is a link to the appropriate part: https://youtu.be/BdYtfYkdGDk?si=iNHi7N68DHxT-52-&t=3182

At the event horizon of a large enough black hole, the tidal difference in gravity between your toes and head shouldn't be noticeable. There shouldn't actually be anything special …

There was a youtube lecture I saw years ago that showed exactly what you'd see as you fell into a black hole and passed through the event horizon. You'd see EVERYTHING that EVER cr…
