I already addressed this type of misargument in my first paragraph. Another way of looking at it is, if NNs are so time bounded then they cannot be computationally powerful at all. Which is really strange.

I'm not sure I agree with that. Even technically, my PC is not Turing-complete because its hard drive is finite. Yet there is an informal sense that Rice's Theorem is still relevant in a kind of PC abstraction sense, as we are all

Is there not some Rice's Theorem equivalent for deep nets? After all they are machines that are randomly generated, so from classical computer science I would not presume a theory of "what do all deep nets do" to be prima fac

On ChatGPT 5.3 Plus subscription I find that long informal chats tend to reveal unsatisfactory answers and biases, at this point after 10 rounds of replies I end up having to correct it so much that it starts to agree with my initial argume

They they're both wrong for separate reasons, hah. Edit: the person who posted the links is still saying they're right, it seems they found the wrong link and fixed it.

It really, really was. It's the most basic type of logical implication. It said: IF BatteryCycles THEN Exempt. BatteryCycles(Apple). By first order logic modus ponens this results in: Exempt(Apple) This is basic math literacy by now. T

It was not said explicitly but it was a straightforward implication. The replier then pointed out the exemption rule is outdated therefore the implied consequence is wrong and the original line of reasoning was misinformation, and thus woul

What technological advance is there for high quality complex software? The advances that made Apple Silicon possible were, fundamentally, TSMC and ARM. These were the material conditions that had to exist in order for a tech company to capi

Just to be clear I thought the typical advice has been fiber -> protein -> carbs, for blood sugar reasons, you're saying to frontload fiber/carbs & backload proteins for easier digestion? That is interesting, I wonder wh

Sorry but dang's rationale is just nonsensical at this point. Spirit of law does not mean having no articulable laws, or principles, or ethics whatsoever. This moderator seems very philosophically confused, and would benefit from furth

That's neat, maybe this is analogous to those Olympiad LLM experiments. I am now curious what the runtime of such a simple query takes. I've never used Claude Code, are there versions that run for a longer time to get deeper respo

It doesn't matter. The first point raised was essentially"well the dice were just part of a belief system about divinity so they could not have been more sophisticated than that" and then I said that the article's logica

That has barely to do with my specific point. The researcher in TFA said if they were doing complex counting then blah blah blah. The general insight is that complex counting would force some kind of Bayesian or probabilistic reasoning

I don't see the point of being confident about this in either direction. I will not assert for certain but (or, IF) they had dice for 12000 years (12,000!) and to be so certain they didn't know anything at all on an intuitive leve

As a curious passerby what does such a prompt look like? Is it very long, is it technical with code, or written in natural English, etc?

by calf 6mo ago
If his evidence of complex counting is convincing, then it's not implausible to me that they soon also had some rudimentary understanding of e.g. coin flip frequencies.

by calf 6mo ago
That's not the point, the point is nobody could know for certain at the time of decision making, so it is revisionism to frame dumping as a legitimate experiment. The outcomes do not justify the action made at the time given a reasonab

Even a consequentialist should accept that it would have taken 16 years to realize it was actually a good thing to do with orange peels.

Why though? They seem to know everything about everything, why not this specifically. The problem with this line of reasoning is that it is unscientific. "They seem to" is not good enough for an operational understanding of how

The last quote, to a layperson, may sound completely sinister, but therein lies a deep and open computer science question: AIs really do seem to get their special capabilities from having a degree of freedom to output wrong and false answer

I wouldn't expect any LLM to be able to respect such a request. Do they even have direct access to published works to use as reference material? Also, last time I played 20 questions with ChatGPT, it needed 97 turns and tons of my acti

The mistake in these types of arguments is that natural, classical-artificial, and/or neural-net-artificial learning methods all employ some kind of counterexample/counterfactual reasoning, but their underlying methods could well

Those X-Y sentences are like nails on chalkboard to me, but I genuinely wonder why it is so pervasive in LLM arguments. It is like trying very hard to think in binary terms yet failing.

I doubt high heart rate is a good mix for high temperature, you want them to balance out, see also homeostasis from high school biology.

I don't get how you have considered all these details yet didn't try to steelman the "hint" better, e.g. 30 minutes of relaxed meditation compared to 30 minutes of sauna usage, as opposed to some vague definition of &quo

Rights are morally absolute, and the cynical insistence that they must be traded off is both fallacious and intellectually hypocritical. You want certain weaker rights, then just admit it, don't be disingenuous about it.
