That's still two words and only one was wrong. Hyphenation is not mandatory, there is no formal description of a "problem with the principal [adjective] agent [noun]" to be disambiguated from.

You are correct, the experiment I referred to does not yield two distinct clusters of collisions at all. You can check it out here. Summary https://www.stonybrook.edu/laser/_amarch/eraser/index.html Paper ht

Because awake is clear cut and well understood whereas aware is not. We don't know what consciousness is and pretending that's a simple question because it's easy to tell when an animal is awake or not is disingenuous at best

The experiment working on clusters of atoms is news to me and I loved getting to know about that. But the thing that really breaks my mind is the experiment that proves that the behavior depends on the possibility of getting information f

You're conflating conscious as awake with conscious as aware.

The funny thing about the current AI hype and people echoing it is, if these technologies were as remarkable and promising as you say than they a) don't need the hype; b) you'd realize that hyping them would harm your own self int

A 5 minutes walk from my home at the European capital where I live there's a Japanese food restaurant that has a small dine-in area where they removed all tables and just do takeout now. It's not that uncommon.

Bike shedding in Parkinson's description is paradoxically putting more thought on things that are easy to comprehend than things that are hard to grasp. Yak shaving is having to do something seemingly unrelated to your project before y

Efficient exists on multiple dimensions. Generating software quickly and cost effectively is just one of them. Maintaining, adding features and managing security liabilities also factor into that overall efficiency. And the ability to manag

> a stopped clock is deterministic I think the analogy breaks down here. The elided bit "time indicator" implied at the end makes that statement is false. A stopped clock is not a deterministic time indicator. If the correct

Management has resented people capable of creating non trivial, novel and valuable software for several decades and trying to get LLMs to generate code for them is just the latest chapter in this power struggle.

Thanks for the advice, I mean it without irony. But I think if you know how to code well you can use code generators, whereas if you know how to use code generators you don't necessarily learn how to code. And being able to review gene

Yeah, assume no malice when stupidity can be postulated. Caveat: intentional stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

I may be wrong but I coming to the conclusion that the promise that a piece of software can generate any piece of software you can possibly desire and describe is basically saying that P=NP and the halting problem can be solved by a Turing

Reflecting on your comment I realized that using a huge amount of GPUs is akin to an Turing machine approaching infinite speed. So I think the promise of LLMs writing code is basically saying: if we add a huge number of reading/writing

Yeah but how do you get that data written to a structure database so you get to do that?

Other countries stashing dollars is basically pure seignorage profits for the US. And these countries using the dollar as a long term storage of value is geopolitical insurance. This makes no sense unless you read it as the Trump administra
