Both France and Germany have nuclear plants with load following capabilities to the tune of 5% change per minute. That is 50-100MW change every minute for a single powerplant. It might not be peak-peak, but it is certainly going to handle t

The majority of "difficulty" in software development is not writing the code. It's specification. And while that may or may not be solved by LLM or other AI tech, we're so far off that it's not even a thing right no

If she gets to sleep through the night, she gets to wake early and take care of the child while you get a few hours uninterrupted sleep. Sleep is as important for your mental health and longevity as exercise is for your physical health and

“There’s been a systematic change where employees feel the employer is extremely lucky to have them, as opposed to the other way around,” he said. “We’ve got to kill that attitude and that has to come through hurting the economy.” Or, maybe

If my bank cold calls me, I can say "I just need to verify the legitimacy of your call, so send me your direct number in the online bank app, and I'll call you". It works every time, but it also works because all the employee

We have strong standards - but if there is only one implementation, that quickly becomes the standard no matter the text in the actual formalised standard.

In Denmark, the difference in interest is 1.5-2.5% between a fixed interest loan and a variable one. Historically it has always been a good idea with a variable interest loan, but that changed after covid.

And whatever Google decides they want to implement or support in Chromium will be the web default, even just how they interpret ambiguities or undefined behaviours - standards be damned. We have tried this before and it was not pretty. That

In Denmark, all lenders must be able to take a 30 year fixed interest mortgage. If they can do that, and still have additional room in their finances, they can be allowed to take home a more risky loan, all the way down to interest adjust e

I believe that there is merit to the theory. If you bought a house 5-7 years ago, the interest and taxes is half of what it cost to rent a smaller house in the same neighbourhood. The high rent is not driven by demand, nor by cost. It'

You should never put people in jail for using any controlled substance. That is mostly an american thing. For people using it, just fine them and be done with it. Go after the people producing, distributing and selling.

The research is old and in its infancy, but I believe there is a pretty clear evidence that link underlying predisposition to certain mental illnesses and a psychotic episode when using psychedelics. I believe it remains to be determined wh

I think the main distinction is that Apple claims to have a secure phone, but not an unhackable phone. A secure vault is hard to get into, but not impossible. Should they have done something about this? I believe so, but they are not market

That does not change anything, asymmetric or symmetric, the same principles apply. E2E means that only the recipients has the ability to decrypt the messages, so far we seem to agree. As I said, and you verified, for your scheme to work, th

Centrally managed E2EE is not end to end if the server can decrypt anything. The definition means that the keys to decrypt only exists at either end.

If a company have the means to decrypt a particular users data, they have the ability to decrypt all users data. But the argument is not about that, it's about privacy, and how we have seen exceptions to privacy have always led to a sl

That was a couple of months ago now. I left the site due to that, and just wondered if something else happened after.

Of course it's not regurgitation. But it is combining related concepts and I'm sure that somewhere in its training input, there is plenty of talk about increasing, decreasing, and constant entropy. However, it does not really say

Talking about mixing coffee with sugar/milk and reversing the arrow of time (ie. entropy) is a widely talked about example. That said, I agree with your arguments and conclusions. Humans are not able to do this kind of reasoning until

You didn't respond to this > Let's assume that in 10 years, LLMs are at the point where you cannot distinguish between a well written book by an author and one generated by entirely by an AI. Suppose we have two authors, one th

I do not disagree with any of what you wrote. That is also an entirely different line of reasoning than your first argument. That said, LLMs today, cannot do this in a meaningful way. If an author cannot write a better book than ChatGPT, th

by mythhabit 3y ago
I do not buy the premisses. Your example states that it can provide the full text of any book. An LLM cannot do that. They can produce something in the same style and setting. When an actual human author mimics other writers styles, it is n

A car has the potential to be used for illegal activities. In fact happens every second, but that does not mean we go out of our ways to make them illegal. That said, it is still an open question if the content generated by LLM is illegal.

You can, theoretically, keep constructing machines for every input you need. Yes you are bounded, but you can say "this machine will halt for every input it can receive in the next 100 years", because you need to quantify the inpu

IO is just state and can be represented on the tape. You can construct a machine for every conceivable input at every time during the execution and reason about them.

by mythhabit 3y ago
The naive way of deciding it it halts is executing it and keep track of all state between steps. If the machine halts, you're done, if it repeats a state, it's looping. If you can represent a program with an LBA, it is by definiti

There is some nuances here. While the general halting problem for a general Turing machine is undecidable, and with a fairly easy to understand proof as well, the computers we run today are not a general Turing machine. They are of a weaker

I actually think there might be an application for the current level of LLM to assist with requirements, changes, reprioritization ect. Imagine that all requirements, requests for change or reprioritization is routed though a LLM. Suddenly

SQL is a pretty decent language. Sure it could be improved and made more intuitive and maybe even simpler. Relational data maps directly to objects if you have halfway decent tooling. SQL is almost 50 years old now - it'll be here for
