As they are currently constructed, I would say that it is out of the question. Humans usually know (at least roughly) the source of anything they know, as there will be a memory or a known event associated with that knowledge. LLMs have no

There is an important difference between humans and LLMs in this context. Humans do in most cases have some knowledge about why they know the things they know. They can recall the topics they learned at school, and can deduce that they prob

It might understand the concept of it having limitations, but it can't AFAIK reliably recognize when it does or doesn't know something, or has encountered a limitation.

D&D claims to occur in the european medieval era where magic and fantastic beasts exist. The author's point is that it's not like that. It's a persistent capitalistic medieval themed wild west with no real power structure

You posit a good question but it would be interesting to take a step further and discuss some potential alternatives, or expand on why "email is authentication" is/isn't the best option there is.

Strong agree. Flatpak has helped me a lot in this matter. Firefox, Thunderbird, Steam, and more are now all contained within a single folder, instead of making at least one file (dozens in the case of Steam). It's ironic that the autho

What struck me when writing integer programs was how quickly the rule and variable count grows with the problem. Expressing simple ideas often required O(n²) rules as every pair of objects needed constrained relations. The default solver in

It is illegal to advertise to children in Iceland because of this. They have no means to evaluate purchases like this. Modern technology has completely circumvented these laws.

I don't think it's fair to compare the article to the GCN video. Strongtowns has been advocating against all the issues mentioned in the GCN video for years. This article is just making one argument that aligns with the broader id

I was under the impression that skyscrapers weren't good for dense walkable areas. 4-7 story tall mixed use buildings are supposed to be the best. I'm afraid I don't have a source for this. The Youtube channel Not Just Bikes

I love and use org mode a lot. I wouldn't know how to do half of these things within it though. Can you point me to good resources on how to do them?

I'm surprised that this wasn't done earlier. An experiment like this seemed like an obvious useful thing to try the first time I heard about superconductors, some decades ago. Perhaps it is due to the technical difficulty of the e

A machine can have an owner that gives it tasks, and be fully autonomous. Full autonomy doesn't necessarily mean self ownership. It can mean that the machine is free and capable of deciding how to perform any task.

The truth is that most things we do that society values doesn't require/benefit from curiosity or being a thinking individual. I don't think we did anything in particular to make things like this. It's more a natural res

That's a great response. I unfortunately still just perceive end-of-phrase ellipses akin to a blank stare. Or as a passive-aggressive suggestion that you're incorrect in whatever is being responded to. Definitely no (positive) fun

How was the hiring scene in Finland back then, and how are they similar?

What do those ellipses mean?

This is a little off topic but why did you end your comment with ellipsis? What do you mean with its usage?

Yes, it's either that, or CPU inference. The article doesn't say. It doesn't mention quantization either.

by Hugsun 2y ago
Abysmal article. It doesn't explain anything about the claim in the title. Is there quantization? How much RAM do you need? How fast is the inference? None of these questions are addressed or even mentioned. > Of course, it would be

Chemical leeching is a big issue with all plastics, afaik. That is, they leech chemicals that are not fit for human consumption in trace amounts into food. I heard that a researcher investigated many bioplastics and other better plastics

I'm not convinced that there is any evolutionary pressure on humans to become smarter. I'm talking about the time when humans could talk, but were still subject to proper pre-civilization natural selection. It's obviously use

Having good tools is definitely a force multiplier, but as you say, we already have those. We are however limited in how fast we can interface with these tools. There is a lot of potential improvement from just knowing the answer to a mathe

Thank you for your patience. I looked at the Rodeheffer study which does indeed conclude that CO2 has no effect on cognitive function (among submariners). I have updated my beliefs accordingly. The nature paper does suggest that it's c
