I didn't know any of that stuff, thanks for sharing. Casinos and betting literally disgust me, but given that in a handful of years, every person on the planet will have his own personal stock and bond market, i wonder how one can diff

Kick.com is banned in Greece as of June. It has some betting streams, not sure if someone bets on the platform, but it got banned anyway for illegal gambling. I don't care personally, just to put it out there. P2P download of files did

>Lot of innovation does come from companies. Of course, i am not arguing that. But when it comes to software as general as code generation, or text generation, the possible applications are so broad, that a team of A.I. researchers in a

Allright, social graphs then. I use social graphs and e-gov interchangeably, but social graphs might be better.

Yeah, blockchain is not needed at all. A computer savvy sheriff might do it, an official person of some kind. Or even private companies, see also "Fido alliance". Additionally the map of governments which accept Esthonian passport

Let's suppose that 1 million new governments are founded, and violence still can be enforced only by the existing ones. The new governments will be in charge of ids, signatures, property ownership and reputation. Governments of Rust pr

Definitely, we can use a government issued id, or we can create our own. Social graphs i call em. Zero knowledge proofs have so many ground breaking applications. I have made a comment in the past, relevant to how could a social graph be bu

Yan Le Cunn has talked about Meta's strategy with open source. The general idea, is that the smartest people in the world do not work for you. No company can replicate innovation from open source internally.

It is saprophytic if i am not mistaken. Saprophytic means: it eats dead plants. Necrotroph means: it kills a plant, and then eats the dead plant. I have heard the term saprophytic many times, always related to fungi, but it's the first

You can fine-tune LLMs in new styles, without even considering all the styles they are already trained on. The formulaic style response is not needed at all. The formulaic response in the style of Coding Horror: "Hey there! Your proper

Knight's movement is a "Γ" "Gamma" not an L. Some day a brilliant game may pop up, which has several letters and try to match em together, like an L, a Γ, an I and so on.

The parent makes the mistake, to assume an adversarial relationship between an mp3 download from a torrent and the musician. Or an adversarial relationship between training an A.I. statistical engine to a painter and reproducing the style.

Ban on LLMs will lead to a proliferation of illegal LLMs who are gonna talk like Dr. Dre about the streets, the internet streets, and their bros they lost due to law regulation equivalent to gang fights. Instead of ChatGPT talking like a w

Just a small digression. Microsoft is using A.I. statistical algorithms [1] to create batteries with less reliance on lithium. If anyone is going to be responsible for unleashing AGI, it may not be some random open source projects. [1] htt

Oh, didn't know about that! Learning something new everyday i guess. Automatic translation works very well for technical documents, but it doesn't work that well for novels. So i thought, most of the translation jobs would be gone

Just a chance? I routinely translate hundred pages of pdfs to greek, in 3 minutes. The translation is far from perfect depending the text and it still needs a human in the loop for corrections, but i couldn't imagine translating a 300

Nice experiment, even though we know that LLMs distill an internal world model representation of whatever they are trained on. The experiment could be a little better by using a more descriptive form of notation than PGN. PGN notation'

To rephrase it a little bit. Much of programming, coding and developing is done by a person who is a knowledge worker and writes code. A good proportion of code to be written, will be written just once and never again. The one-off code snip

Yes, i could definitely see that. A multimodal chess engine, which evaluates several positions using a traditional chess engine, but it will play the move which has the more clear description using an LLM. It will not play the best move, bu

I don't have a definition, and i am the last person qualified to give a correct answer to that, but if we rephrase the question as: "Are ML algorithms more than tools", i would answer as no. ML algorithms did go a lot further

Magnus said something like that about CCC, the Computer Chess Championship. Engines, especially alpha-beta algorithms play in a very mechanistic way, totally unnatural. Granted ML algorithms are more human-like than alpha-beta, but even the
