The technical aspects of SOTA models are not publicly documented. How do you know if something is converging?

This is a pretty confusing article. It seems to string together some loosely related facts to make the current AI boom look bad.

Yes there is, at least to me. The reason being total freedom to tune the operating system, and not being limited to what someone imagined I would want to do in the future.

Perhaps add "A systematic approach to technical documentation authoring" to the title?

That would be the 1980s approach. I would be more interested in being able to read an email and then say something along the lines of: in context/mail: when today/evening: if conte…

It's somewhat unfortunate that programming is still pretty hard to start with. Early home computers would boot up with BASIC. Granted, the user experience was horrible, but at leas…

I think that credit might go to IBM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TD-Gammon

> If you want a good one you'd have to set up your own and aggressively curate it Expect a community library with only books on homotopy type theory and quantum computing soon!

Most of the books in these community libraries are really crappy. I would assume that people: a. Toss out books at home they don't like and bring them to these libraries b. Take in…

In the 1990s "Object-Oriented Ontology" was introduced by Graham Harman [1]. The name was borrowed from computing, but its meaning has little or nothing to do with Simula or Smallt…

This article focuses mostly on point forecasting . There are many other things that are interesting to forecast. Consider for example the use case of forecasting the average speed …

I'm looking at GoPro packaging here that says "Made in Thailand".

Lean is the Mizar here. For those who have no clue what this is about, Mizar [1] was an early automated theorem prover. Can't wait for HN to add AI features to explain concepts in …

> I’d buy these. Say $100 for a frontier class model. Maybe more. Sure you would. Running frontier class models on current hardware costs in the order of tens of thousands of dolla…

There's an interesting easter egg in semantic.cpp, line 77: if (CheckWord(words, "OXio")) { Apparently, if your text contains the word "OXio", it triggers the following riddle: Wha…

Some things do indeed improve, but some other things require a massive effort that no hobbyist or small company can make happen. This is most obvious in places where a lot of coord…

It's probably helpful in this discussion to make a difference between two definitions of reasoning: 1. phenomenal reasoning, requiring consciousness and subjective experience 2. fu…
