I wonder if there is a rigorous/formal method to identify 'monotonicity' in code? Seems like it should be straightforward...

They may both be barriers but I have to concur that Qualcomm's especially is well known for the patent strategy and a good portion of their revenue comes from licensing IP that is de facto industry standard if not unavoidable in all im

Prompt engineering was just trying to fit all the context into one prompt - but actually there would often be a series of prompts both positive and negative so... I get coining a new term and that can be useful in itself but I don't se

Mindfulness and building the habit of letting go - let thoughts pass by like clouds, or landscape passing from a train. You notice the thought, but do not dwell on it. The initial stage of dwelling gives thoughts footholds and reinforces th

Java's API docs are very complete and explicit. Certain points about the language, as well as certain long-existing open source projects have been discussed ad-nauseum online. This all adds to the body of knowledge.

My take on choice of language: 1) Java has the largest, oldest and most explicit data set for the LLM to reference, so it's likely to be the most thorough, if not the most correct. 2) Go with the language YOU know best because you&#x27

I strongly agree. FAANG has the money to do the research. LLMs are far from intelligent - AGI will require a number of other advances.

Exponentially bad word choice even... since we're using that word however we want now? I don't think this is meaningless or non-constructive pedantry - we're a technical community and those are technical words.

I hadn't heard of this and it's fun to think about. It's 100,000 s/day as opposed to our current 86,400 s/day which is not far off. Hours, however, were twice as long. They had time pieces that displayed both togeth

The POTUS should not have this authority obviously, BUT As "Ivies" grew their endowments at hundreds of percent faster than their student bodies, they became essentially hedge funds that do some education.

The article says "individual cells within MMB consortia are not genetically identical, they differ slightly in their genetic blueprint."

Love the writing as well as the content here. Especially fascinated by the coordinated replication. Also curious about magnetotactics - why would such a small scale organism need to orient to such a large scale phenomenon (the earth's

"Places like Alabama, practically the only way women can get ahead is to either move out of state or keep marrying up." This sounds like an assumption that a woman could not have a career or get ahead of her own accord without rel

Fasting is a natural state. Food addiction is real, as is lack of discipline. Just stop overeating. That's the magic bullet. Always has been. What's not helpful is looking for weird workarounds all the time. Just stop eating so mu

And how did you stop it?

Start from here : Stop using Google search and use an AI. No more irrelevant results, no more ads. No more slop to wade through. BTW I find Claude is great at making graphs and diagrams. If you pay ($20) you can hook it up to a local code

I've been thinking about how this happens with human cognitive development. There's a constant reinforcement mechanism that simply compares one's predicted reality with actual reality. The machines lack an authoritative reali

While I agree with the thrust against deification and idolatry - these characterizations border on naive and myopic: "remember that AI is but a pale reflection of humanity" and "AI cannot possess many of the capabilities sp

Definitely a possibility - hopefully AI will similarly empower creation of better content instead of AI slop noise. In fact I wonder if Claude.ai could come up with similar CPU teaching tools and a syllabus based on some of the great resour

I'm starting to use Claude.ai more and more instead of googling. For the moment this seems to cut through the noise of the modern web.

But winning is only fun because you do not always win and almost proportionally so... If you get better you get to play better games against better opponents. The win or loss is ancillary to the experience for me.

Accessibility is probably far and away the strongest effect on human impact to areas rather than any legal designations.

I feel designated wilderness areas (at least in my state, CO) could benefit from MORE regulation because they are trammeled to hell by cattle. Additional protections only improve these areas. Also, I did not realize the Wilderness designati
