Literally in the article: “Our paper says that the Atlantic overturning has not declined yet. That doesn’t say anything about its future, but it doesn’t appear the anticipated changes have occurred yet.” The study is a stark contrast to a 2

I hate endless catastrophism in the headlines. Article contents doesn't reflect the alarmist statement in the header.

"Another study in 2024 showed that a collapse of the AMOC before the year 2100 was unlikely."

Would you accept the same quality of implementation from a human team?

"The location of Standard C headers do not need to be supplied to a conformant compiler." From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46920922 discussion.

But can it compile "Hello, World" example from its own README.md? https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler/issues/1

Yep, I even wrote one and made a mod of C-Evo (long time ago).

Would appreciate unflagging this.

Which hints that truly superintelligent AIs will consume vast amount of energy to operate and matter to build.

Well, maybe it is time for one...

Any such "self-improvement loop" would have a natural ceiling, though. From both algorithmic complexity and hardware limits of underlying compute substrate. P.S. I am not arguing against, but rather agreeing with you.

Well, but still superlinear.

Hardware is bound by even harder limits (transistor's gate thickness, speed of light, Amdahl's law, Landauer's limit and so on).

It is exactly the same metric. Intelligence is not magic, be it organic or LLM-based. You still need to go through the training set data to make the any useful extrapolations about the unknown inputs.

Would never work in reality, you can't optimize algorithms beyond their computation complexity limits. You can't multiply matrix x matrix (or vector x matrix) faster than O(N^2). You can't iterate through array faster than O(

A good reminder that every technological exponent is a sigmoid.

The cynic is me says those interesting but ultimately barren long-form articles are just content marketing for Mathematica software.

Yep, it is called a "lapdock" now.

Well, that would be nice, honestly - to have Android as another option for desktop OS. I remember there were some experiments to create a hardware laptop shell to insert smartphone into.

I liked CATIA, but can't afford it at the moment.

Interesting, because I am trying to learn OpenSCAD for some simple modeling.

Yes. Yet those will be stories worth remembering.

Medieval children dug those for fun and games. Explains the size and lack of recorded attribution.
