If 1% of indie games are solid, and all AAA game are solid, and there are 100 times more indie games than AAA games, then there would still be the same amount of solid indies as there are solid AAA games. As it is, I think for every good AA

That explains why it happens, but doesn't really help with the problem. The expectation I have as a pretty naive user, is that what is in the .md file should be permanently in the context. It's good to understand why this is not t

It seems to me that building a recording device that can survive in space, that it's very light, and that can not break apart after receiving the impact from an explosive charge strong enough to decelerate it from the speeds that would

Any mass that it fires would have a starting velocity equal to that of the probe, and would need to be accelerated an equal velocity in the opposite direction. It would be a smaller mass, so it would require less fuel than decelerating the

It does not. Social media platforms have had massive societal impact. From language, to social movements, to election results, social media has had effects, positive or negative, that impact the lives of even those who do not use them.

LLMs cannot loop (unless you have a counterexample?), and I'm not even sure they can do a lookup in a table with 100% reliability. They also have finite context, while a Turing machine can have infinite state.

by Fargren 11mo ago
An LLM is not a universal Turing machine, though. It's a specific family of algorithms. You can't build an LLM that will factorize arbitrarily large numbers, even in infinite time. But a Turing machine can.

by Fargren 11mo ago
You are making a big assumption here, which is that LLMs are the main "algorithm" that the human brain uses. The human brain can easily be a Turing machine, that's "running" something that's not an LLM. If that

That would be fine, if there was a law that forced every browser to have this setting and every company to respect the setting.

"rapid, iterative Waterfall" is a contradiction. Waterfall means only one iteration. If you change the spec after implementation has started, then it's not waterfall. You can't change the requirements, you can't ite

That's not what AGI used to mean a year or two ago. That's a corruption of the term, and using that definition of AGI is the mark of a con artist, in my experience.

by Fargren 11mo ago
Any definition of AGI that doesn't include awareness is wrongly co-opting the term, in my opinion. I do think some people are doing that, on purpose. That way they can get people who are passionate about actual-AGI to jump on board on

Yes. Personal data under GDPR is "any information which are related to an identified or identifiable natural person". If it's data about a specific person, it's personal data, it's a very straightforward definition.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. Are you saying in order to make LLMs better at learning the missing piece is to make the capable to interact with the outside world? Give them actuators and sensors?

You can get this experience in Android (without sideloading) using Firefox with the correct plugins. I don't have an iPhone so I don't know if the same is true there.

All of those are arguments for why robots should generally have wheels rather than legs, except for when legs are specifically needed.

AGI, like AI before it, has been coopted into a marketing term. Most of the time, outside of sci-fi, what people mean when they say AGI is "a profitable LLM". In the words OpenAI: “AGI is defined as highly autonomous systems that

I will not argue, there are benefits to the way Japan does it, if the alternative is doing nothing. Obesity is indeed bad. But we're talking about a pill that can hopefully prevent both, so we don't need to make that choice.

by Fargren 1y ago
The way Japan "solves" obesity is quite cruel on those it does not work for. Overweight natives are not treated kindly. I think creating a medicine to make this easier is a moral good, and a sign of kindness and intelligence. Hop
