Not sure why this is being down voted, but surely it's the other way around? These structures are emergent from the environment, not something belonging exclusively to humans and then appropriated by LLMs?

You can run them slowly on any machine that has enough memory.

Apparently nobody with Scottish heritage was involved in selecting that name.

Apparently we are now expected to know by some telepathic mechanism that important customer service announcements are made only on Twitter.

Going to dispute that. Probably he can nicely ask bean counters if they would please arrange refunds.

Any such paper will turn out to be wrong. I've found this one (which makes no falsification claims about computers re consciousness) to be an interesting read: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.14545

Presumably someone with such little production experience that they've never seen a human do something like this, leading to them never giving high blast radius credentials to any thing or any one.

Interesting project. I bought the domain name for a startup I worked for in the early 2000s. It was just there to be bought from the regular registrar process -- no need to bid or pay more than a few $. This article makes me want to do some

Super annoying when I saw this. Initially I assumed I'd strayed into some quadrant of the UI space I hadn't been in before. But no they just broke it for no reason. Well, presumably the reason was someone expected to get a bonus.

There are also places in the US with boiling water at the surface. I live near one of those places so always curious about geothermal. There's a spot near my house in a creek bed where snow always melts even in deep winter so apparentl

Depends how you define sophisticated. Mac used the 68k so didn't have to jump through all those hoops mentioned above.

Same here. I've asked this question before. Haven't received an answer yet.

This rings true. However I have used one AI automated support chat that didn't behave that way. I wish I could remember the vendor but I do remember being blown away when it said something like "that sounds like a real problem wou

Same. Never hit a limit. Use it heavily for real work. Never even thought of firing off an LLM for hours of...something. Seems like a recipe for wasting my time figuring out what it did and why.

It wasn't deliberate in the sense of deliberately making a second chip that wasn't necessary, selling it as some kind of dongle to unlock existing functionality in the 8086. It was a real chip that cost as much or more than the 80

It's going to turn out that emergent states that are the same or similar in different learning systems fed roughly the same training data will be very common. Also predict it will explain much of what people today call "instinct&q

Also doesn't help that nobody can say how many people it needed to develop and maintain software even before AI. Elon declared the emperor had no clothes.

Calling BS on that story. You don't need to fire anyone. You just rate limit access to lookups where the customer didn't initiate a support call themselves, and require supervisor approval and audit of said approvals on a regular

Fairly sure this is an ironic comment. (Credit monitoring is the useless thing companies give people in the US when their information is leaked -- everyone in the industry knows it's laughably unrelated to private information disclosur

Random data point: as a long time VSCode user when I first heard the hoopla about Cursor I rushed to try it. Didn't work (at all). So I added my name to the open bug report, waited a few months. Tried again. Still didn't work. Bec

Astonishing that high damage actions were authorized by authentication delegated to Google and furthermore not subject to hard token 2FA.

This is how the electronics industry always worked. I times of yore it was IBM who bought up all the capacity in various fabs then defined later what devices would be manufactured on those wafers.

It has absolutely no clue about roundabouts. On a journey in England or France on a road that has a roundabout every mile it will constantly spam you with "take the second exit onto wailing street" every minute, when a human would

In the 80s I rented a car from the Minneapolis airport. Drove to my hotel visually navigating with respect to the tall buildings of downtown. Eventually realizing I was in St Paul.
