Same thing in sql. Non null guarantees are great until you do a left join.

Does TAO help? I imagine it's a lot easier to embed all this additional logic and metametametadata in a single service than distribute.

I remember reading (~10 years ago) that F* was created as part of a "Project Everest" a long time back, with the goal of creating a provable TLS implementation. I never saw that anything came out of that though. If it's that

Eh, probably not. It's not like web components are a big threat to react. Nor that react is any kind of a profit driver anyway.

Though note that was a question of possible redundancy, not possible inconsistency. Still, the outcome is probably roughly the same. We'd replace the inconsistent axiom with something similar and 99.99% of existing practical math would

It's astounding to me that space is so empty that in the billions of light years from here to the edge of the universe, there's orders of magnitude less total interference than what you get from a small cloud. It's also astou

Probably. So given I haven't bothered to look up this feature yet, and I've established for myself I'd rather have this than a dumbphone, I don't think it makes real world sense to buy a dumbphone, even though it sounds

I mean, it could just be built into android, or maybe even an app with enough permissions. But agreed, even at that minimal level of friction, I'd probably turn it off most of the time, and deal with it via old fashioned self control.

Yeah, or charge every night, or look for when you're in a hurry to get out the door, etc. Or buy, for that matter. Probably what I'd rather have is a phone that has a low power low function mode, that I can configure what apps are

Or a good way to teleport out of local minima while training. Create a few clones and take the one with the steepest gradients.

You could use this and try to tease out something similar to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39487124 , but for NNs instead of images. Maybe it's possible to have this NN diffusion model explain the pieces of the N

I wonder if you could do this on the NN-generating NN from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39458363 . Then you could have it start to create a vocabulary and an understanding around what all these parameters and weights

I remember a wittgenstein thing asking to think of a tree or something, and then point to the place in your head where that thought exists. It's kind of like that.

Seems like it could be useful for resizing the networks, no? Start with ChatGPT 4 then release an open version of it with much fewer parameters. Or maybe some metaparameter that mucks with the sizes during training produces better results.

To be fair, there was a paper a week ago showing how GPT-generated responses were easily detectable due to their "averageness" across so many dimensions. Maybe they ran ChatGPT through a GAN and this is what came out.

Haha, that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. We're looking at adopting openpolicyagent. Which frankly, a modern JSON-oriented datalog may be ideal. But this whole time I keep thinking, this would be so much easier in Haskel

I still wonder why Haskell sans IO isn't a thing. Seems like it would be a really great way to define/implement rules for a rules engine that supported it. I guess you'd still have to worry about OOM or CPU thrashing, but in

Not really. Sure it adds some overhead but it's well optimized and not overly significant, especially for incremental collections. It can even pay for itself by defragging your memory, making subsequent allocations cheaper. The big pro

Fwiw I'm going back to my original hypothesis and saying there's no limit at infinity, but there is a class of questions that are in none of the levels, essentially meaning you can't prove anything about their solvability. It

We won't and the world will go into a massive depression, destroying the market for AI produced garbage and staving off global warming for a few extra years in the process. So even better than UBI.
