It's weaponised language that pseudo academics hurl around at each other to try and denigrate the research outputs of other people. In the distant past it had a meaning which was that research was being published in small parts in orde

Interestingly it's been possible to make rubies for years, 150 years ago rubies were far more prized than diamonds, but then fell out of fashion, mostly because diamonds were in good supply and there was a big marketing campaign for th

It's strange because I used replit in an online container and then had to download the code to carry on editing it - so I don't know how it managed to do that! Anyway, it sounds like they were crazy giving the keys to prod...

Super interesting that no one here has mentioned replit. I found the experience of using Kiro and replit really similar with one important difference: replit mostly worked. Kiro tore off and wrote tonnes of code and tests. It asked me to pe

The peak and decline of US oil production is going to be one of the geopolitical stories of the next 25 years. If US renewables and nuclear don't fill the gap the need for global naval dominance is going to come knock knock knocking ag

I guess the gamble was that there would be a certain point where the edge cases disappeared into the noise and it didn't matter that the approximation was/is "wrong" because the behavior of the car would match the requir

I bought some wrangler jeans, because I remembered that I had a pair years ago that fit me better than levis, the levis were quite expensive and the wranglers cheap. They were ok for the first wear - but not great to be honest. Then I washe

Maybe it's different for other people, but I just couldn't move the way I used to, I had less gas, less snap, my reactions were poorer. There's a thing of power coming from your gut/core... that's what lets you real

Looking up a project on github, downloading it and using it can give you 10000 lines of perfectly working code for free. Also, when I use Cursor I have to watch it like a hawk or it deletes random bits of code that are needed or adds in ext

I wonder what Apple would have to do to make metal + its processors run faster than nVidia? I guess that it's all about the interconnects really.

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. The fact that the pilots denied that they had shut the switch (one asking the other why they had done so and the other denying it), and that they restarted the engines should be taken into

Why does the MCP server or cursor have service_role? I don't see why that's necessary for the application... so how about the default is for service_role not to be given to something that's insecure?

Companies are suffering massive losses from Cyber, and there are state actors out there who will use these failures as well. I really don't think that organisations that fail to pay attention will survive.

But is there any evidence that these system prompts really work? How are the different components of these prompts contributing to the result... what happens if one word is changed? what about two words?

I read these things and I think : this can never work. This is passing a huge set of parameters to a probabilistic map function.. one token changes and you get a completely useless result.

I guess this makes it more likely that Shores algorithm will actually work on real hardware? Although that hardware is a long way away?

I might be able to learn more by chatting with you. I think that the trained transformer has fixed weights and therefore cannot learn. I think learning is one aspect of reasoning, and is demonstrated by challenges like navigation or puzzle

The fallacy comes from the fact that many humans must interact with the environment over time. The optimization for an imagined group of humans at a certain point of time dooms real humans to long periods of struggle. The transport of Le Co
