In theory, quantum algorithms could solve problems that have a combinatorial nature faster than classical algorithms. In practice, today, those problems are faster, cheaper, and easier to solve with classical algorithms on rented cloud hard

The OP claims progress in AI is stagnating. The author is, no surprise, Gary Marcus. Even if you tend to disagree with him, as I do, the OP worth reading. My two cents: Progress in AI seems inevitable but its timing is unpredictable . Th

The announcement is meant to make corporate buyers believe that IBM's quantum magic + AMD's chips could somehow leapfrog Nvidia's GPUs, hoping to slow down its sales. I never wrote Nvidia is working on quantum anything.

Yeah, I agree with that. When I first saw the announcement, my immediate thought was something like "huh, the Nobel guys sure want to make sure they've given an award for something related to AI which they can describe as foundati

Whatever the facts, the OP comes across as sour grapes . The author, Jürgen Schmidhuber, believes Hopfield and Hinton did not deserve their Nobel Prize in Physics, and that Hinton, Bengio, and LeCun did not deserve their Turing Award.

The OP is spot-on about this: If AI technology continues to improve and becomes capable of learning and executing more tasks on its own, this revolution is going to be very unlike the past ones. We don't how if or how our current ins

Hmm... I wonder if the same pattern holds for people. In my experience, human beings who reliably get things done, and reliably do them well, tend to be less warm and empathetic than other human beings. This is an observed tendency, not a h

Yeah. Anyone with even a vague awareness of history is aware of the historical parallels. Let's hope saner heads will prevail in these times of rapid change.

I haven't had a chance to read the preprint carefully or play with the code yet. Best place to follow what's happening is by looking at the github repo, specifically open and closed issues and pull requests.

by cs702 1y ago
Yeah, the results look incredible indeed. That's why I and many others here have decided to download, review, and test the code published by the authors.[a] If their code doesn't live up to their claims, we will all ignore their w

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction. I will need time on a computer too. The repo is at https://github.com/sapientinc/HRM . I love it when authors publish working code . It's usually a good sign. If the code

Based on a quick first skim of the abstract and the introduction, the results from hierarchical reasoning (HRM) models look incredible : > Using only 1,000 input-output examples, without pre-training or CoT supervision, HRM learns to so

Has this been tried with reinforcement learning (RL)? As the OP notes, it is plausible from a RL perspective that such a bootstrap can work, because it would be (quoting the OP) "exploiting the generator-verifier gap, where it is easie

The question is: How do we get LLMs to have "Eureka!" moments, on their own, when their minds are "at rest," so to speak? The OP's proposed solution is a constant "daydreaming loop" in which an LLM is does

I've only skimmed the paper, but it looks interesting and credible, so I've added it to my reading list. Thank you for sharing on HN! --- EDIT: The hierarchical composition and routing aspects of this work vaguely remind me of ht

TL;DR: The OP believes that if we train large AI models via RL to duplicate the behavior of existing software (for example, train them to duplicate the behavior of an existing spreadsheet, an existing command-line tool, or an existing appli
