I don't think Geohot has a good idea about LeCun and Hutter's views on the limitations of LLMs. I think that on abstract, textual domains, LLMs perform superbly, and they would agree. I am not too well-informed about LeCun and Hut

My intuitive understanding about double descent is that 1. Older ML models encoded in their architecture and lack of expressivity a bias to simplicity; which aided interpolation. 2. Overparameterized models instead use regularization to nud

By that same argument, taken naively, film and video are dehumanizing, but not deplorably so: certainly the intensity of emotion and experience through film is far less present than say immersive theater, but we may be more comfortable with

I don't understand the locus of the arrangement/decision that you find dehumanizing. There are several distinct ways I perceive how someone might find aspects of such an arrangement and change of arrangement dehumanizing, and I sh

My position regarding devices is that only 2 out of 3 should be satisfied: 1. Used as a proof of identity (for banks, govt services, etc.) 2. Is distributed to laypeople who have more pressing concerns in their lives than security. 3. Is an

Companies might bet that it is safer to base their businesses on more fungible explicated domain knowledge rather than knowledge that is siloed in human brains.

In agreement, it seems to me that where this word is used, the more generally used "flock" could be used with no hindrance to communication.

In my mind this is it, the colloquial seasons, and with vague boundaries depending on feeling, whereas the calendar "seasons" are there just to quarter the year artificially.

Hmm I think you made the grid lines thicker? I prefer it, but the thickness looks inconsistent (several divisions of the paper do not seem have thicker grid lines on my display)

It's so funny to me that you compare a decapitation strike with the stated aim of regime change to vandalism; I'd compare the actions taken to Iran in 2025 to vandalism over this.

There are areas of mathematics where the standard proofs are very interesting and require insight, often new statements and definitions and theorems for their sake, but the theorems and definitions are banal. For an extreme example, conside

I think we may have similar perspectives. Regarding empirical knowledge, consider when the knowledge is in relation to chaotic systems. Characterize chaotic systems at least as systems where inaccurate observations about the system in the p

In the US context, it is much harder for distant enemies to target energy supply chains that are entirely located on domestic soil, like, say, most renewables.

Why would Iran end up further isolated due to this war, and out of escalation? (your sentence is slightly ambiguous so I assume that you are referring to it.) If it successfully asserts control over the Strait as it seems to presently be do

My take is quite different. Every device that I use to do internet banking or things of that nature, I'm very happy to delegate security to companies, and consider that already I trust said bank with my finances. If I want a device I &
