Thanks, this is a very good analogy.

Do you have an academic source that describes this difference in pronunciation in native speakers in normal usage?

So why would 3D printer companies in China bother innovating rather than sit back and cash the government check?

Maybe literature is just a terrible medium for culture except for the relatively brief period in human history when they were extraordinarily cheap to produce and disseminate compared to other cultural products. Edit: but insofar as media c

I really need to caution against looking too deep into taking these generalized words literally and deriving some insight from them that does not have independent evidence for the insight. "great" literally means big and is relate

Yeah, my comment was intended to be mildly sarcastic in that the proposed heat transmission mechanism already happens on Earth and is yet so dramatically insignificant at usual temperatures that we struggle all the time with managing heat t

You can radiate the excess energy away on the non-sun facing part on Earth almost just as well..., though corrosion is an issue.

Don't you still have close friends to lean on when the going gets tough, and your friends, you?

I'm pretty certain that children are quite perceptive, and will sense an unease that something is not quite right at home. It would be a service to them to put something concrete to that unease.

You can look at use cases for an index, and see how well they hold up. Asking where the smallest greater number (next number) is no longer makes sense. Taking two numbers and asking whether one is greater than the other still makes sense. (

That's why it's good to have close friends so that we don't have to be perfect ourselves in all respects in our private lives... humans are a political animal after all

It seems to me that frequently, to realize that your resources in a domain has improved, you need to heavily risk the very few resources that you know you have. In the example the author gives, her husband did not have that inaccurate, yet

If a foundation model provider allows fine-tuning on confidential data but the result is locked into the platform, wouldn't that be extremely sticky?

Please provide a more comprehensive response. I suppose I should be more specific as well. Some of the online only games I am thinking of are CoD, Fortnite, LoL and Minecraft. The online-first DRM I am thinking of is Steam.

Yet the most popular games are online-only and even more have their installation base's copies of the game managed by an online-first DRM.

You can likewise host models if you so choose. Still the vast majority of people use online services both for personal computing or for LLMs.

I'm fine with Gemini's tone as I'm reading for information and argumentation, and Gemini's prose is quite clear. I prefer its style and tone over OpenAI's which seems more inclined to punchy soundbites. I don't

What DPI scaling and multi-monitor setup do you use on Linux? This is pertinent as parent comment encountered issues with it on their setup.

I agree that the phrasing lacks some self-awareness. It can well be true that pairings of this nature are only just becoming common, but the cuckoo is infamous for parasitically getting other host avians to rear it while a fledging.

Ah I now think I know what you were thinking of when you were talking about "noisy" in terms of K-parsimony, you were thinking of maximally random input strings. > is that true intelligence might not have these big gaps between

by jhanschoo 1y ago
If we accept the functional framing (as being able to give a suitable suggestion conditioned on input), then it seems to me that parsimony is the only sensible general framing; every deviation from that is something that is specific to an a

One way you can define intelligence considered functionally is how an entity given patterned input can demonstrate that it learns and understands that pattern by responding with an extension of that pattern. This definition defines what an

I'm going to go into my own perspective of it; it is not reflective of what it discusses. The linked multimedia article gives a narrative of intelligent systems, but Hutter and AIXI give a (noncomputable) definition of an ideal intelli

The author has a qualified point in that it's OK if some part of the app not central to the primary value proposition is not working. But if a vibe-coded app promises to solve a problem for a paying customer and does not actually solve

There are some concerns here that should be addressed separately: > Ok but what are you going to decode into at generation time, a jpeg of text? Presumably, the output may still be in token space, but for the purpose of conditioning on c

Let's make this more concrete than talking about "understanding knowledge". Oftentimes I want to know something that cannot feasibly be arrived at by reasoning, only empirically. Remaining within the language domain, LLMs get

I have the knowledge of a layman in robotics, but rather that autonomous control systems, I'm more curious about the prospect of improving world models in AI by sensor fusion at an unprecedented scale, addressing the limitations of tod
