People very, very frequently refer to holdem as just poker. I've also heard five cars draw referred to as just poker. If you asked someone playing PLO what they're playing, a lot of people just say 'poker' and then elabo

Genuinely curious - what makes it stupid?

On the other hand, the sanitized titles of scientific discourse can mask uncredibility and obscure the actual core thrust of a piece.

If you were a juvenile, and wanted to light off fireworks, when else would you do it but at night?

Presumably the plane would accelerate as it climbed through the velocity gradient, never falling to a point of negative air-relative airspeed.

It's also failing as a mechanism for efficient p2p small value transactions - as a currency. Consider, from the white paper (with regards to mediated digital transfers): ` The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the

It's also interesting that even though this is the case, many of the critiques have borne out anyway

On the other hand, learning something tabula rasa takes way longer than if you scaffold it with assumptions. Otherwise, each new skill/language you learn would take as long as the first one.

I see it as a kind of "perfect app" in that it does what it sets out to do very well and does exactly nothing else. If only all mobile games were the same...

If you like this style of puzzle, I highly recommend Simon Tatham's Puzzles on android ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.boyle.chr... ). It has implementations of a dozen or so puzzles includ

I was wondering how feasible it would be to make a Minecraft agent that had a running feed of the past few seconds, continued it off w/ SORA, fed the continuation into a (relatively) simple policy translator that just pulled out what t

`since it is trained to simulate the real world, as opposed to imitate the pixels.` It's not that its learning a model of the world instead of imitating pixels - the world model is just a necessary emergent phenomenon from the pixel im

That's a sick pun though - I'd definitely consider that a success

This assumes that the limit is full generative parity, and not just a our SOTA classification techniques maxing out.

by lanternfish 3y ago
The problem is that it's pretty easy to fine tune an adversarial model to fool classifiers. In some sense, building that classifier is a very productive way to improve the model, so it's something the generative side is already do

And maybe even one day, the abbreviation will become so ubiquitous that it becomes divorced in practice from the original referent.

Hmm. Now I'm curious if you could actually get a 3d interface with all that information dynamically rendered running with reasonable performance on period accurate personal hardware - it's definitely in the scope of the 95 demo sc

There are multiple unresolvable game states (panglacial wurm...) but there are catch all rules which allows judges to say 'you're not trying to win, so your blocking line results in a game loss'. They have banned cards before

Yeah - there are a lot of tasks that we frequently do that don't have this kind of associated trappings (on a cultural level): opening a car door handle, tying shoes, etc. Making coffee is much more susceptible to this kind of ritualma

by lanternfish 3y ago
I think you could make a very, very compelling case that the process of making coffee is, for many people (especially those really into it), an important ritual which has a lot of significance beyond the specific output. Look at the discour

Fission is theoretically amazing in many cases, but is hampered by branding problems. If fusion can be marketed as "clean", it gets a comparative advantage.

In this case though, the question is what underlying motivator dominates. The claim doesn't need to be as strong as 'the us is money, no culture' and can just be 'in the US, money accounts for more willpower and politica

Presumably because Alibaba - the challenger that started this crackdown - is now slain. On a political level, there are only so many Chinese companies with enough power to actually threaten the CCP, and Alibaba is probably enough of an exam

Quality in this case doesn't necessarily mean ground truth accuracy - it just means ability to look accurate to humans.

This is true, but detecting and omitting code hallucinations is (functionally) as hard as just not hallucinating in the first place.

The black box nature of the model means this isn't something you can really 'patch out'. It's a byproduct of the way the system processes data - they'll get less frequent with targeted fine tuning and improved model

Given that not all animals keep pets, I think it's clear that the complex evolutionary pressures that result in 'cuteness' or pet ownership aren't necessary for sentience.

I'm interested if you know of any historical research that talks about this. I can see that as a possible theory, but the counter would be that there's a fundamental difference in the nature of 'information' between now

I recall there being this huge internal debate about whether or not there's any sort of external normative quality metric to reality, or if it's all subjective. The conclusion is that there's a DAG of 'flow' where i
