Each of those agents ends up making "decisions" that lead it to look at some things over others. Given infinite the same agent could eventually fully explore all those options, but…

Fine. "The LLM produced a chain of reasoning consistent with a belief that X is happening." I've found it fairly helpful to anthropomorphize systems to communicate things about the…

An LLM is not me. It is capable of doing more "work" but it also doesn't have my mental models and experience. My colleagues know roughly my areas of expertise. If I say "I think t…

But the write should have triggered a page fault immediately in that case, and should have been blocked on the page being actually allocated before resuming.

So the theory is that the page is faulted in, then somehow evicted within 10 instructions, then re-faulted in somewhere else, resulting in writes not making it to the page? That wo…

There is not a perfect solution. There are many bad solutions. There are a few solutions that are OK but with different tradeoffs.

Hey, that's my name too!

Not sarcastic, but I probably didn't convey the subtlety of what I was trying to say in a one line comment. I was objecting to the defeatist "oh the tech is there, so we can't do a…

The tech's also been there to put cameras everywhere, and to wiretap every phone, etc. We put guardrails in place to control how that tech is deployed.

To pull the example of Discord since the ExHashRing was mentioned in the OP: Needing to hash a few hundred things instead of one thing adds up when you do it a lot of times. They w…

The hierarchical (log(n)) approach to bucketing here is fine for an "I just want to shard this N ways, N will never change" but is extremely intolerant of bucket mutations. Part of…

But intelligent beings are fundamentally fallible? That's kind of the nature of doing leaps of reasoning: sometimes those leaps are amazing, sometimes they're wrong. It's what's ad…

Glyph binning looks for any chunks in the image that are similar to eachother, regardless of what they are. Letters, eyeballs, pennies, triangles, etc without caring what it is. OC…

what at all does this comment have to do with what it's replying to?

In companies I've been in, insider trading windows close because there's been a certain amount of time since the last report. So less frequent reports = more time for insider to kn…

"only 8 cents of every dollar shows up as direct aid and grants" That's an extremely misleading statement. For instance, a food bank giving away food to a pantry does not count as …

None of what they're pledging is much of a change from how they've already been operating: - They already invest in new power plants and connection infrastructure when they bring i…

That's because they are slowpokes and maniacs: In a decently flowing road, the majority of distinct cars you see are either moving significantly faster or slower than you (and the …

Easily. Going from 700 -> 1000 ft spacing adds 150 feet of walking (x2 for both sides of the trip). That's about 1 minute. Over a mile you'd reduce the number of stops by 2.2. So a…

Of the ones that I know something about, almost each one is a stretch to call a lie, or just downright misleading. - 'Internal document stating the goal for Meta to be the most rel…

The change was when the nonprofit went from being the parent of the company building the thing to just being this separate entity that happens to own a lot of stock of the (now for…

The end game of that is no useful content being accessible without login, or needing some sort of other proof-of-legitimacy.
