I was hoping there would be a study that the cooperation leads to more accurate results from LLM, but this is purely focused on the sociology side. I wonder if anyone looked at solving concrete problems with interacting LLMs. I.e. you ask a

I mostly use python, but switching from python to C is IMO too much work. What would be great if within one language, there was an access to much stricter/faster language. I.e. imagine writing a python function that is strictly typed,

As mentioned by others, the article does not really tackle the question. But it is an interesting question, and I think it would be great to have a language that you could adjust the safety without major rewrites. I.e. various degrees of s

Very thought provoking. One of the things was not clear to me, what does he mean by 'agentic' intelligence?

As a math course, I felt category theory was interesting as a way of unifying ideas across different areas of mathematics. But I never quite seen a value of it for programming (but maybe it's just me)

Corona is very hot (millions of degrees) as opposed to 6000 of the Sun's surface, therefore it has higher contrast over Sun's surface if you go to shorter wavelengths. The reason corona is still visible from Earth is because it yo

There are a lot of steps like that provided you want an image that you want to show to the user (i.e. Jpeg). You do have somehow merge the 3 Bayer filter detections on rectangular grid, which involves interpolation. You do have to subtract

I am not necessarily saying duckdb is better. I personally just found it easier, clearer to write a sql query for any complicated set of joins/group by processing than to try to do that in pandas.

by sega_sai 2y ago
Great point that I completely share. I tend to avoid pandas at all costs except for very simple things as I have bitten by many issues related to indexing. For anything complicated I tend to switch to duckdb instead.

I think the interface of LLM with formalized languages is really the future. Because here you can formally verify every statement and deal with hallucinations.

While reading this, I was interested in the "double-blind tokenised approach" of age confirmation that guarantees privacy. I think it is described here: https://avpassociation.com/wp-content/uploads/2024

I would say anything with algorithmic personalized feed is a social media, and that's I would stop kids having access to. I think the main danger is in the engagement maximisation done through these algorithmic feeds.

I understand some negative comments here, that this was somewhat pointless waste of money. But I would argue that him spending 2M$ is in the same category of people spending money to do climb a mountain nobody did climb, or beat world circu

Does it mean that there will be no election needle ? That would be disappointing.

Postgresql has many companies offering support for example.

That's interesting. I was hoping to see some comparison of their model with the data in the paper, but haven't found it (I looked at the figures). That's a bit disappointing...

I use it on Linux, and it's still bad. They recently removed the .deb version of Teams and now there is only a chrome version of the app. It is a bit more stable, but still not in any way comparable to slack

I am sure there are good reasons for using MSFT Teams, but as a user I passionately hate it -- how sluggish, confusing and unstable it is, so if anything using it Teams less would be better from my personal point of view.

I would say they rarely come up with ideas no one has ever heard of. The one they haven't heard of is unlikely to be a truly novel, and more likely just the application of some idea in a new circumstances. (but this starts to be clos

by sega_sai 2y ago
I would argue that the absolute majority of people don't come up with really novel ideas either (and I'm speaking of myself too). Most people just develop existing ideas, and maybe apply them in new contexts.

Given the number of machines Luke Durant is running https://www.mersenne.org/report_recent_results/ it must cost a lot of money, given those are GPU nodes. I wonder what's the story there. Also I think up till ye

I think it's clear that AI detectors don't work. The only thing that may work is if a bunch of people use AI, their code will be identical or almost identical. But overall as someone who teaches a computational class where student

At least in my experience, I asked for compensation 3 times and got the money in every case (with different companies: American Airlines, United and Lufthansa). But I agree the system could be improved further.

That's a really thought provoking article. And my thinking is this highlights the importance of government consumer protection agency/laws as the protection against that. I.e. when you fly through Europe or use European airlines,

I was hoping that the syntax for equations would be borrowed from LaTeX but it is not the case unfortunately. I would like to switch away from LaTeX, but i think the syntax for equations in LaTeX is pretty sensible actually.

Physicist here.. I will not give Sabine more YouTube views, justifying clickbait titles. Below is just my opinion. There are certainly issues in theoretical physics. I think particularly string theory was a massive waste of effort in phys

Physics prize one goes to AI, chemistry too. What next? Nobel in Literature goes to ChatGPT? Jokes aside, I think the chemistry prize seems to make a bit more sense to me than physics one.

Physicist here. I'm sure Hinton deserves some sort of prize, but in Physics is really bizarre.
