You can absolutely apply most of the meaningful principles of MCTS to this problem. LLMs do violate certain "strict" properties but I still see a lot of practical value in this kind of thinking.

I'm well aware of what the official propaganda states but this is simply not a fair characterization of reality. Responses integration will lock you into OAI much more deeply than chat completion integration will. I can easily swap my

I've been sticking with the chat completion endpoint because of this same behavior. OAI has been subtly pushing users away from chat completion and toward the endpoints that are possible to obfuscate (responses API). With chat completi

I miss having Griddy in Texas. Direct access to the wholesale market is probably not good for the lower end of the consumer segment, but for people with some functional marbles it can make a big difference on the demand side of the grid. I

The problem a lot of land owners would have with this argument is that there is no such thing as a free ride. Property taxes exist in the real world. Most are already paying fairly for access to the services they receive. At some point the

The goal is not 100% correctness. The goal is to demonstrate the current amount of variance / uncertainty to the planning agent. If the planner sees that 4/5 Luna runs resulted in approximately the same summary, it may conclude th

If we could copy the traffic laws of a country like Germany to the US, I think that would have the biggest + cheapest effect. I am OK with automated/elevated enforcement if it means stop & go traffic evaporates into free flowing co

I used to do weightlifting, but it's hard to keep up daily discipline with potential injury risk. Rest days are mandatory and this is the #1 killer of compliance over time (for me). Rowing is my go-to now. It is low impact so I can do

The most important aspect of a room's acoustic performance are its dimensions. Rectangular rooms have 3 axial modes that dominate. These modes are easily excited and store energy which you perceive as rumbling, booming, droning, etc. A

The natural gas is already being flared off to protect the environment (CH4 is a much worse greenhouse gas than CO2). The key with this project is that instead of wasting the thermal energy from this unused gas, we feed it into power plants

This looks like mindless data tourism to me. I don't see much distinction between this and something like Spotify's annual "wrapped" feature. The information theoretical equivalent of junk food.

Infrasound from ventilation systems can be rough. Too much static pressure can create a lot of weird effects. I've reduced the ECM fan speed in my furnace to mitigate most of the noise. The system was replaced in 2020 and the installer

Honeypot & statistics are a much more interesting avenue of anti-cheat to me. The most egregious cheaters tend to get banned the most quickly with these techniques (e.g. a 200-1 K/D ratio = a lot of samples per unit time). When it
