LLMs tell you one thing and not its negation, this choice is semantic. "just language in absence of any context or reference" is a set that includes every valid text. The usefulness of LLMs is their ability to mostly respect whate

The Chomsky hierarchy is a classification of grammars. So it's about Syntax. GPT is purely about semantics, about truth. To the extent that I think it can be said to be fundamentally informal in its dedication to truth, since it can ea

The article shows one, the kind of double torus - though I do not understand how neighbourhoods that intersect the line of contact between the 2 "tubes" can be mapped to R².

The idea here is not to understand why some combinatorial problems are hard and others easy, but rather to just be able to distinguish between them. So, instead of understanding why the measure functions structure the solution spaces the wa

An attempt at understanding the difference that makes the sorting problem (the problem solved by sorting algorithms), but not the travelling salesman problem, efficiently solvable, looking at the topologies of their solution spaces.

But the cosmic microwave background refers to one single event, that has echoes everywhere, right? If I understand correctly, you don't need to synchronize anything to have echoes everywhere.

As far as I understand (I'm not a physicist), to be able to say that the universe is isotropic across space, you need a point of view that just doesn't exist. You cannot speak about an absolute synchronicity among events happening

I would say that you are mixing up "parsing" and "calendaring (or something of the sort)". As far as I understand parsing is syntactic analysis, i.e. going from a linear structure to a more complex structure (usually a t

At the beginning of "multiverse.html" you say "In the beginning of the 19th century..." I think you mean 20th.

I think that there is a distinction that is interesting to make here: human made systems vs natural systems. Human made systems have a source of systemic debt that natural systems cannot have, due to human errors. In the natural systems, &q

DNA is an anti-secret in the same way that digital rights management schemes are an anti-secret. DRM schemes only work through legal support; and in my opinion, legally protecting the secrecy of DNA is much more sensible (from a human pow,
