Truthfulness is on totally different philosophical footing than consciousness, so the analogy doesn't hold up. There is no "hard problem of epistemology", but there is a hard problem of consciousness. There exist criteria for

If that's the cause, it's surprising that it's as bright as an entire city, for example nearby Lima.

Slightly off-topic, but I wonder what the big circle of light pollution is in Western Brazil, west-southwest of Manaus? It looks like it's centered over Urucu, which Google reveals is home to a natural gas pipeline. I wonder if there w

"Totally wild" is probably an exaggeration, considering there is virtually nowhere in southern England that could reasonably be considered totally wild.

Exactly. The only interesting thing here is that it managed to convince this person that "they built" anything. Also it seems there are tons of blogs about this exact task. I guess it's slightly interesting that there now exi

This sounds great. How is the package management story, and how robust is the ecosystem currently?

Holy shit, combined with the above that is infinity times better. Thanks.

There are certainly parallels. For one, the prompt involves the model simulating its own output, which clearly has a flavor of Universal Turing Machine to it. Then the token smuggling technique leans on the ability of the model to staticall

It's odd that Brooks describes "neuro-symbolic" as a "new term". It has been around for a couple of decades.

I’m not an expert in it either, but this problem is similar to both the N-queens problem and Sudoku, both of which can be solved via SAT, so tutorials for those should be a good start. Good luck!

This is really fun, and it definitely tickles that same part of the brain as sudoku. One UI suggestion is to use a diverging color palette for the larger numbers so there are different hues for too many versus too few attackers.

Looks like this could be translated into a SAT problem and solved with a SAT solver. Have you tried that?

Delete your account. I did. I took stock of how much value it provided me, decided it was not much and declining, and not enough to offset supporting a billionaire megalomaniac large-scale boosting far right bullshit.
