It's true, this will certainly not be a high speed network as 2.7 kHz is the max allowed bandwidth (compared 500 kHz for LoRa). But it should be fast enough for transmitting text messages. Antenna size is problematic, but NVIS does not

This paper highlights a crucial aspect of evaluating AI language models: the significance of prompt construction (e.g. adding "think step by step"). When a model is given insufficient context beyond the question, it may generate r

Not everyone is trolling on the internet my fellow human. > This is why I am pretty sure you're trolling. This is a lot like saying "You can make GPT-4 do prime factorisation of a semiprime by noting the constituent primes.&quo

I am pretty sure that the development of a consciousness in coming LLMs is unavoidable. A consciousness is just another useful abstraction for making precise predictions about the world. The big question will be: How do we treat machines th

I've been thinking a lot about the ability of neural networks to develop understanding and wanted to share my perspective on this. For me it seems absolutely necessary for a NN to develop an understanding of its training data. Take Con
