What app are you using for that? I was surprised to see Logic isn't available on iPad.

There's a deeper issue. All language (and code and other things in the GPT/etc corpora) seem to have something in common - hierarchical, short- and long-range structure. In contrast, there is nothing that all time series have in c

A great paper and an important result. However, it omits to cite the highly relevant SRBench paper from 2021, which also carefully curates a suitable set of regression benchmarks and shows that Genetic Programming approaches also tend to be

Notice this is a reimplementation in js. It's hosted on GitHub with no db. The original was a bit more sophisticated, with a lot of collaborative breeding stuff enabled by server-side code.

Other people are saying the UK, but if you want the same time-zone plus EU laws/customs/currency, you can choose Ireland.

Most of those ants are workers, so already evolutionary dead-ends!

Well no, it's not a total black box. We program the computation, ie which matrices are multiplied by which. It doesn't have a choice about this.

It doesn't need to be trained any differently. We can use the current LAMDA model to do this (if we have real access). We would put a small non-learning/non-neural interface on top of the system to implement these ideas. That inte

As I said, I think it's interesting if it uses the downtime for something else. (Like a chess player thinking on the opponent's click.) Talking to itself, speculating about continuations, etc - but not actually outputting them (el

When it's not predicting a word, it's not doing anything. Literally GPU usage goes to zero. Still it's interesting! Obviously we have to program the system to stop after a sentence or two so the user can read it. What if we c

The flipside of this story is: if you're buying a new machine, get rid of the old one! The sooner the better, both for you (if you can get some money for it) and for the environment (the newer your machine is when you get rid of it, th

I had a nice imac in work in 2009. A few years later I brought it home to work from home. I added an ssd and some RAM. My wife is still using it for Google Docs and my kids for Minecraft and Netflix.

But Apple TV (the streaming service that I can access on the web, not the hardware smart TV thing) is much worse than Disney. Literally can't find the name or number of the episode that I'm currently watching in order to tell my w

I also enjoyed the phrasing: > To begin with, the ionosphere’s composition changes most drastically at night, primarily because, of course, the Sun goes missing for a bit. I can imagine Bertie Wooster saying this.

He was involved in creating that, but he definitely didn't use it for this 3-second piece. It's not suitable for micro-management at all.

As discussed lighting is very important. One thing that makes a difference is the brightness of the monitor, at least if you have a large/bright monitor which can serve as a light source. If your face is too dark, increase monitor brig

Bells is also one of the sub-themes in the Polifonia EU-funded research project (disclaimer, I'm involved in a different theme). It's more about documentation of historical bells in open/linked data, rather than acoustics. h

I agree. What's even more annoying is a commenter on the blog goes on to "correct" the definition by providing several more examples which have nothing to do with strawman (voter rights, climate change). And the Captcha is br

Marcus is only one of three. From what we know if Aaronson, I doubt that this was a Marcus-driven paper with the others just along for the ride. But I agree some of the intro has a Marcus ring to it.

I googled "notorious lying woman posing as female Steve Jobs" and - credit where it's due - it seems to have given the right result.

"In principle" is not only (1) hard in practice but also even in principle it is (2) limited by the capacity of the NN. It's (2) which gives me some reassurance.

The author seems young (eg referring to early iphones as "early days")... so young they don't realise that this is all cyclic fashion.

The README explains that they want a single curated answer, not a list of 15 answers with 25 comments. This does seem worthwhile, at least for some types of questions.
