I am quite confident that this is basically a scam which won't work for at least 95% of businesses. Colin Fraser had a very nice demonstration that Deep Research can't keep track of NBA teams: https://xcancel.com/c

That suggests a clumsy PAC-driven campaign to shove a candidate into your feed, without actually doing anything meaningful to update the algorithm for general Republican/conservative propaganda. Part of it might have also been the (rem

It's not "moving the goalposts." It's realizing that the principles behind perceptrons / Lisp expert systems / AlphaGo / LLMs / etc might be very useful and interesting from a software perspective, bu

It's also extremely hard to nail down in much of mathematics or computer science! - is such-and-such theorem deep or shallow? - is this definition/axiom useful? (there's a big difference between doing compass-straightedge pro

Reading through the PR makes me glad I got off GitHub - not for anything AI-related, but because it has become a social media platform, where what should be a focused and technical discussion gets derailed by strangers waging the same flame

Same here - maybe the HN post should be retitled to "Lean Manufacturing and Graph Theory."

Pretty safe to say this is a politicized nothingburger: The announcement of the shift came shortly after Mr. Ratcliffe told Breitbart News he no longer wanted the agency “on the sidelines” of the debate over the origins of the Covid pan

I think you are getting away from the actual original question, which is why (intuitively) the rationals are dense in the reals despite being a different form of infinity. The confusion wasn't about different forms of infinity, it wa

I don't think that's the case here unless you are referring to a busy beaver thing I don't understand :) If you are referring to the observable universe being finite, then that's not relevant for the discussion: I am jus

That wouldn't be the case if ordinary compilers outputted buggy code 5% of the time like a SOTA LLM does. (I am being quite generous to LLMs here)

In decimal form, almost every real number between 0 and 1 is zero-point followed by an infinite sequence of random digits. No computer in the universe has enough hard drive space to store an arbitrary fixed real number between 0 and 1. This

I am the same way with shooters: I play all games with inverted Y. It's just about personal preference and what you grew up playing. I believe the difference is whether you conceptualize mouse/joystick motions as moving your eyes

It’s not about computing power, it’s the inadequate algorithms, and ultimately the lack of scientific knowledge. Nobody has figured out how animal brains provide the plain old common sense you’d find in a fish or a frog, nor do we have any

My concern about PG isn't that he's "falling in line" so much as ripping the mask off and embracing right-wing authoritarianism: So what do we do now? Wokeness is already in retreat. Obviously we should help it along
