i've seen a a where three barbershops were a stone's throw away from each other, with a few houses between them on a street in an (only moderately dense) residential area with no carparks anywhere nearby, and wondered how that cou

hey the AR/VR entry is wrong, right? Apple demonstrates it in the keynote webpages by having a 3D model relating to the keynotes' themes that can be placed and rotated in space, I doubt it would be for their own pages only. unless

I hate Quanta a lot a vast amount of fluff for less than a college statistics professor would (hopefully) be able to impart with a chalkboard in 10 minutes, when Quanta has the ability to prepare animated diagrams like 3Blue1Brown but choos

the proofs written by ChatGPT are necessarily reasoned about in plain language, and are a human-comprehensible length (that is what Tao did, since it hasn't been formalised in a proof-checking language); today, the many-gigabytes (or -

I think Zeilberger is taken heavily out of context and confused with Norman Wildberger a lot; he certainly has some eccentric opinions but that one is not at all reflected in his blog's contents (which are largely things like "[pa

that is an indictment of the implementations, not the fundamental limits of the architecture; most commercial LLMs now have web-searching available by default and can do both of those things, but couldn't when they were confined to the

that's not unusual; most rodents do it, and also ants and plecostomuses (although in their cases it may be less out of preference and more due to mouth limitations)

the problem is generally the same as with generative adversarial networks; the capability to meaningfully detect some set of hallmarks of LLMs automatically is equivalent to the capability to avoid producing those, and LLMs are trained to p

their use of P!=NP is not incongruent with its meaning; I understood it as saying the tasks that LLMs are good for are analogous to NP in the verification being significantly faster than the search. and at least in the things I use LLMs for
