Agreed. I was told beforehand "Oh this is your first launch? Well, might ruin the others for you. They're like a firecracker going off. This is like a stick of dynamite". Indeed.

Ah that's super neat. Hadn't seen this before. Thanks! Here's hoping :)

Robert Kuhn is a really impressive dude. I've been occasionally running across his videos on YT from these interviews. I'm very impressed that he's rolling it all up into a written research project as well. "I have dis

Mechanical telepathy may be possible, and for me could possibly answer this question. You and they put on a device whereby you tap into their conscious experience, see through their eyes, hear the voices in their head...

Here's hoping launch costs fall quickly and it gets absorbed and rebuilt as a much larger station, Ship of Theseus style.

Does seem biased to not mention the prior US testing, which destroyed satellite Solwind P78-1 in 1985, leaving debris in orbit for 2 decades. (also suggestive of secret testing which may have left more) There's also an earlier Soviet

This claim that these tests are easy for humans seems dubious, and so I went looking a bit. Melanie Mitchell chimed in on Chollet's thread and posted their related test [ConceptARC]. In it they question the ease of Chollet's test

Yeah, I did a bit but thanks for the thought. Will again Agreed the micro architecture and energies involved are.. challenging I guess my thinking is that most of the assumptions that might have precluded small scales may have radically ch

On my last comment I suggested the authors may not be familiar with Koza+Adami, but didn't realize the corresponding author is Stuart Russell, co-author of "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach", with Peter Norvig.. the

I totally didn't realize this until these comments. Neat! I went digging in wikipedia.. the Backpropagation article was created in 2005 and yet the mention of association/derivation from the chain rule wasn't mentioned until

It's funny, this kind of subtree mutation was looked at pretty deeply by Koza and Adamı in the 90s under the rubric of Genetic Algorithms, but with a slightly different optimization function One ref in the paper to 2000 for GAs for fas

> do clique detection and downrank such citations. Sounds like a great project for someone, especially someone in academia, to lead. Call it the C-index, after Corchado, and test it against his network

The story above cites a confirmatory study for its ozone hole result and should also cite contradicting studies for its warming result. There was a study out of NASA/JPL that made a correct and timely prediction of major warming a yea

I wonder if the moire materials can tuned as a dynamic metamaterial to absorb or dump a lot of charge, based on their rotational geometry. That charge plateau seems like a quite powerful trick

Agreed on the first part, but for LLMs not having correlated capabilities, I think we've seen they do. As the GPTs progress, mainly by model size, their scores across a battery of tests goes up, eg OpenAI's paper for ChatGPT 4, s

I'm curious about the framing of research like this.. "The poor performance of transformers on arithmetic tasks" (relative to what?) and how that informs the adjacent conversation on progress towards AGI. Some say AGI has alr

A friend who studied engineering at MIT made a similar distinction, and it's where I expected the article to go, being hosted there. The notion was that the development of engines, as opposed to simpler motors and mechanical systems, h

Thanks for the work guys! It's been growing in quality of the years and is one of my regulars.

The title is also misleading in that the paper ( https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2319652121 ) doesn't claim to determine when the fastest rates of CO2 rise have been. In fact, it starts by saying cores g
