Some of it is, certainly, and those are the ones we’re supporting this way. I’m not talking about systems of record - more like custom project and task coordination systems that would alternatively exist in spreadsheets, in Monday.com or we

I don't think there are a lot in the SAAS world. Usually when something quirky and new launches, readers on this website can discern something about useful intent. Arguably Github, Slack, Twitch, TikTok were basically toys at launch wi

What GP meant - what everyone means when they say this - is that goroutines are always M:N threading and so there is no such thing as function coloring. In Rust to get M:N threading you have to use async and in practice every library you us

You can do a thought experiment about an invisible pink dragon, that doesn't mean I have to take a position on it. "Suppose" is doing all the lifting. My position is that experiment can't happen as described. There is

There is no algorithm that can be memorized. Leela's understanding is in the weights, not neural net algorithms. I'm familiar with the Chinese room argument and I've never accepted it because what it describes isn't real

That only explains why the post training is much more efficient - and thus where we have seen the most gains. It says nothing to support the notion that a stochastic parrot has “predicted” an original result.

It’s an incoherent argument, or a meaningless semantic distinction. There is no design of such a machine that does not encode a very deep understanding of the game. Leela Chess Zero does understand chess. She plays at roughly 2300 strength

I wouldn't use the term "token predictor" or "statistical pattern matcher" to refer to a post-trained instruct model. Technically that is still what it is doing at a low level, but the reward function is so differen

Is there a book or paper where I can read a description of how high-level emergent behavior works? The papers I've seen are researchers trying to puzzle it out with probes, and their insights are very limited in scope and there is alwa

We understand the low level math quite well. We do not understand the source of emergent behavior. https://arxiv.org/html/2210.13382v5#abstract

We understand the low level details of how they are constructed. But we do not fully understand how higher-level behavior emerges - it is a subject of active research. For example: https://arxiv.org/html/2210.13382v5

A lot of states do tax alcohol. Alcohol is dropping in popularity, but I think that is mostly due to legalized Marijuana and THC. Actually, there are more DUI for THC now than Alcohol. People have been drinking for thousands of years, and a

No, that simply is not the case. The whole point of deep learning - and the reason it has been successful in so many domains over the last 20 years - is that generalization does occur. Leela will kick your ass at chess whether she's se

CSP is a theory about synchronization and implies nothing about green threads or M:N scheduling. Go could have used OS threads and called it CSP. Certainly it’s true that Go invented neither, both Erlang and Haskell had truly parallel green
