How do you make use of it? Is it basically logarithms of values? So add them together to multiply them? I don't know if I quite understand how the units would work. As an example, "how long would it take for everyone in a large hi

It would be cool to have something like the first one, except generated in realtime and you get to "steer". If it works by zooming in slightly each frame and then asking the AI to refine the image to better match the prompt or wha

Do you mean it is specifically GPS that is getting spammed, or more generally are all of the GNSS systems getting spammed?

I would have thought that asking if to be terse, and asking it to provide explanations only after answering the question, would make it worse, because now it has to provide an answer with fewer tokens of thinking.

Thanks, that's cool to see. I hadn't seen this site before but browsing around I also found this example: https://gr.inc/question/why-does-the-professor-say-this-good... - also with LIMO.

I keep seeing people mention "illegible reasoning" but I'd be fascinated to see an example of what it actually looks like. Do you have any examples? Apparently DeepSeek-R1 can switch between English, Chinese, and gibberish, a

I'm a long-time FreeCAD user, and one of my annoyances is that long-running operations lock up the entire UI and can't be aborted. This is particularly annoying if you realise you made a mistake, but have no way to go back and cor

Each one refers to itself as "I", I still don't see what is difficult about this.

This comment went the exact opposite of the direction I was expecting. Do you also find that you enjoy magic tricks less when you know how they're done? Personally I find the "not knowing" kind of painful. I can't imagin

You're right, I actually hadn't grasped this, I realised later on but it was too late to edit my comment. And to be honest I still don't completely get it.

I feel like this is just a totally stupid question. The brain has inputs, internal processing, and outputs. The conscious experience happens within the internal processing. If you make a second copy, then that second copy will also have con

If consciousness doesn't arise from the brain, it seems to be suspiciously well correlated with the brain. I think consciousness arises from the brain.

I can write a program that will visit every number between 0 and 1, but it will take infinitely long to run and use infinite memory.

by jstanley 2y ago
This is not right. There are infinitely many integers. There are infinitely many real numbers between each pair of integers. Thus there are more real numbers than integers.

Point 1 is maybe a downside. Point 2 is neither here nor there. If all those people were playing tennis instead, the courts would be equally inaccessible. Point 3 could be a positive!
