For some reason I didn't think it switched laws, it was just on or off. Maybe that was for the 777 instead?

No, they aren't efficient enough. And the "typical" toy versions pretty much don't work. LLMs demonstrated the feasibility of sequence predictors in a much stronger way.

The sequence prediction arguments are a lot more convincing than they were a few years ago, if you care about realized progress. Sequence prediction is intelligence, the philosophers can deal with the fuzzy edge stuff that's less imp

Depending on how you want to do it, the hypotheses that get probabilities can be represented as computer programs that predict the input the agent receives. If done correctly (perfectly if you want it to be absolute) the probability-weighte

Bayesianism is not wrong (it more or less can't be), the main problem is exactly what you mean by "knowing" and "entropy". Obviously, an embedded agent knowing from within physics is limited, but that's not a p

Measles and chickenpox are both respiratory and airborne. The serial interval is longer though, gives the vaccines more time to work to prevent transmission. Though, the chickenpox vaccine is more of a "parental time off work harm redu

I don't think entropy can be defined as your lack of knowledge, at least straight out. You have to be careful as under strict Bayesianism knowledge can't ever decrease, implying that entropy is monotonically non-increasing, and th

That would be really weird. I'd be more willing to buy galaxies just coming into existence somehow in the gaps as the universe expands, as that at least drives the arrow of time consistently in the right direction. The arrow of time c

Inflation in what era? There has to have been some inflation at some point, right, otherwise how could the very hot period that's considered to be right after the start of the universe be low entropy? Sure, maybe you could say there&#x

I assume many people who want OpenAI to fail want to whole AGI program in general to fail, at least for a few decades longer. A competitor won't help, it'll plausibly make it worse.

No, I mean it's evidence for the proposition that having a 10mm handgun is a good idea. The Glock 40 has 15+1 rounds, as a comparison.

And run minimax on a cloud of perturbations surrounding each world model, and then weight them together in a tree after that.

For most people I think it matters if you think probabilistic deterrence is a real thing or not. Think about it like this, do you vote, even if your vote has almost zero chance of changing the outcome by normal lights?

This guy was not hunting. Hunting puts weird restrictions on firearms and ammo, but you don't have to follow them for self defense. It's only a moose that I'm talking about for 10mm, good quality 9mm defensive ammunition is g

Yeah, I was suggesting in general. I don't want to single out women (anyone can have the problem, including people in a professional military), but carrying a gun in a purse is not usually a good idea. I'd go as far as saying that

It gets replaced with dollars in your account. You don't have a choice. Maybe that's stupidly made illegal somewhere, but in most cases just don't touch the dollars afterwards.

Don't off-body carry. Or if you do, have an on-body pistol (in this situation, 10mm, ammo loaded to full pressure, pretty long barrel), and a rifle off-body. Edit: off-body weapons can be used against you pretty easily, or you can forg

It's probable you can train the same system on the same data multiple times and still get an improvement. You could also train on universal sequence prediction data in between as well.
