I didn't say they claimed that. They left it rather vague, intentionally or not. I didnt mean to pick on just this post, I just happened to see a few such posts on the frontpage recently. I do think it was a good and obviously effortf

Yes, and it's made pretty obvious with all the background section and references.. which btw I'm not advocating for such baggage in a blog post. Just something.

If they are not aware they are geniuses who rediscovered a bunch of shit in one blog post of effort. Better not to assume anything and let the writer tell you what's going on, if just an endnote

I agree. Simple albeit imperfect solution would be pointing even to a wiki page. That alone would signal acknowledgement/awareness that it's building on other stuff.

I would want them to point to point to what they think is the best resource. (Assuming the point is educating or explaining something to the reader.) Which, If everyone followed, would automatically point back to newton/leibnez.

I guess it depends on the actual goal of the post. Education? Point people to background. Surely if you have a deep understanding of the subject, you have favored references. If it's not education, where people are supposed to know eve

Wolfram was my example in my original rant!

I had a long ranting comment I deleted. I just don't like this trend of people presenting work in a way that makes you think some combo of 1) they discovered from scratch themselves 2) it's new 3) they didn't try to cite or a

Is that how history works? Anything bad in any society's history defines them forever going forward? Germany would like a word. Unless of course you're hoping this is the outcome, that the bad behavior persists. In which case I&#x

On the plus side, now some insider trading is visible for later prosecution. I for one prefer criminal activity to be visible.

1) that calculation is being done even without a cost function 2) trying to make a cost function for EAOS is impossible 3) gaming/goodharts. There's no good solution. Best we can do is push for decentralization, open source, regul

Cynic in me says basically part of her implicit job description was taking fake falls when shit happens . Kind of like a CEO is paid for more than the work they do, but also the responsibility they must appear to take publicly (for big mone

She probably made a calculation for how much she could be put up with vs. the pay.

You seem to be putting a lot of viewpoints on me I never proclaimed. That is not the only arm we control corporations with, corporations even die sometimes for doing the wrong thing. And voting internally is not the only way to change a cor

If the government is in control, it's a sanctioned monopoly. You seem to be opposed to monopoly?

The most glaring and revealing example of this is travis kalanick talking about QM. It should be embarrassing and disqualifying for leadership to be so easily fooled, but he just got a shit ton of money for his new startup "I'll g

It depends on whether we take care of them at the cost we currently are in the west.

I for one am not surprised.

We used to just call that efficiency. Overusage of "pareto frontier" annoys me almost as much people talking about "electrons" instead of just saying electricity or power.

I kind of do the conversation tracing thing already. Every change is attributed by Claude code session id (and timestamped obviously), then I have a jq based tool over cc session jsons that I save indefinitely. I've found it very impor

I was probably projecting. I like both path and equilibrium entropies, but my assumption I guess was that when people hear entropy in physics they're usually thinking of the equilibrium-defining entropy. That is, the value that is maxi

But paying so little attention to it that it no longer is a core competency? As in, the people most representative of that competency leaving in droves? I doubt that was the plan.

I don't think Google is that freaking short-sighted. Even if you're not trying to be frontier, the value of having domain knowledge via experience for AI is worth saving internal compute alone. By all accounts Google believes in a

This makes a lot of sense to me. Probably doesn't explain everything but I could see it explaining a lot. Could also explain openai and anthropic delaying IPO (among other factors)

It depends entirely on whether they're trying to and failing vs. being strategic. It smells a lot more like the former to me.

That is the entropy rate. If I'm understanding your original question correctly, you were asking about the standard equilibrium-defining thermodynamic entropy?

Find the equilibrium probabilities from first eigenvector, use definition of entropy like you did. If it's not ergodic then you get subsystems with their own entropies. Second eigenvalue iirc basically characterizes dominant relaxation
