> The number of autistic children being diagnosed is RISING it's not falling Over time we got better at diagnosing it, that’s all. Mildly autistic people clearly existed in the past but were just considered odd or nerdy or something

WebAssembly programs can't directly read their own stack because of how it's designed, meaning that scanning for live objects within WASM is inefficient as you have to keep a separate stack in software for GC

It would be difficult to do head tracking without a camera and having it fixed in your view would limit what you could do with it and be distracting I think (depends on the use case/person though)

To be clear I think this has good information and I upvoted it, it’s just that as someone else said it’s good to get ahead of anyone who won’t like it by explaining why and also it can feel a little disingenuous otherwise (I don’t like gett

I wasn't annoyed about it, I just said it might be good to mention because people will notice anyway, and at this point there's enough AI slop around that it can make people automatically ignore it so it would be good to explain t

Is it just me or does the formatting of this feel like ChatGPT (numbered lists, "Key Takeaways", and just the general phrasing of things)? It's not necessarily an issue if you checked over it properly but if you did use it th

I looked it up after and it looks like someone already had a similar idea, I'm pretty sure I've seen this before which is probably where I got the idea from: https://x.com/zephray_wenting/status/153504145

Well, if they have access to significantly more compute, from what we’ve seen about how AI capabilities scale with additional compute there’s no reason why they couldn’t be more capable than us.They don’t have to be intrinsically more logic

"sentient" (meaning "able to perceive or feel things") isn't a useful term here, it's impossible to measure objectively, it's an interesting philosophical question but we don't know if AI needs to be

The idea is that by its very nature as an agent that attempts to make the best action to achieve a goal, assuming it can get good enough, the best action will be to improve itself so it can better achieve its goal. In fact we humans are doi

This depends on how you define the word but I don’t think it’s right to say a “statistical machine” can’t “understand”, after all the human brain is a statistical machine too, I think we just don’t like applying human terms to these things

Having no backup to biometrics could lock you out permanently if it stops recognising you for some reason, so it would need to accept just the password, and at that point you can just turn biometrics off entirely

Whether we should call what LLMs do “knowing” isn’t really relevant to how far away we are from AGI, what matters is what they can actually do, and they can clearly do at least some things that show what we would call knowledge if a human d
