> Entropy can't be a measure of uncertainty Gibbs’ entropy is derived from “the probability that an unspecified system of the ensemble (i.e. one of which we only know that it belongs to the ensemble) will lie within the given limits

> Shanon & Von Neumann were hacking a new theory of communication, not doing real physics Maybe I’m misunderstanding the reference to von Neumann but his work on entropy was about physics, not about communication.

What’s non deterministic there? That “probability distribution” is just a mathematical function assigning numbers to tokens, defined using a model that the person creating the model and the omniscent entity know, applying a set of determini

Or maybe you mean that the probability assignments are not about the output of a particular LLM implementation in the real world but about subword units of text in the wild. In that case how could two different LLMs do different assigments

Yes, that’s a purely mathematical abstract concept that exists outside of space and time. The labels “objective” and “subjective” are usually used to talk about probabilities in relation to the physical world.

I think you used “extensive” in the sense of “defined for the whole system and not locally”. It’s true that thermodynamics is about systems at equilibrium.

Did you also read just after that "without hardware for rasterisation/texture mapping"? Does that sound like a _G_PU?

There are many more gasoline cars than diesel cars in the European Union. The latter are used more though and heavy vehicles are also diesel so there is a higher consumption of diesel than gasoline.

"Why give it away for free when I don't want to give it away for free" seems a pretty good mindset to prevent someone who doesn't want to give things away for free from doing so by mistake and regretting it later.

"Star-bellied sneetches" maybe, but it's not about "biggest piles of capital" as much as about importing things with the following codes: 8471 8473.30 8486 8517.13.00 8517.62.00 8523.51.00 8524 8528.52.00 8541.10.00

No difference if you have two windows, but if you have three or more you just kill the current one giving the space to one of the adjacent windows.

Still much lower than the US tariff on EU cars. (Those remain.)
