It might be "never-ending", but you're going to encounter edge cases in approximate proportion to the rate at which they actually occur. Anyway, the hope would be to learn behaviors which generalize, not to respond to each ed

Ideally it would learn a relationship between the sensor input and the correct actions, even if the sensor input is not realistic for the GG in reality.

Well it certainly helps,doesn't it? This system is going to encounter more edge cases than a single human ever would. Hopefully the lessons from known unknowns generqlise to unknowns. And once they've been seen once they took can

Certainly commensurate to the price . It's up to the companies to bring the cost under the price. AFAICT, fears of the marginal costs of LLM inference being high are dramatically overblown. All the "water" concerns are outla

It's a leaky abstraction, in software terms. Ideally, an abstraction models the semantics of the problem domain "opaquely"; ideally our natural numbers have only the properties of the natural numbers and no others. An additio

No, not at all, the word trauma is predominately used today as the name for a sort of "psychic damage", like that which sometimes occurs when one is severely injured but which can also occur in many other circumstances, often pure

Almond milk is an economic substitute for dairy milk, making the comparison appropriate. No need to be dense about it.

ah, I recall seeing that feature but had not taken a look at it for imports. Imports ARE the case where untyped cell arguments are most annoying, but of course it would be nice to get it for free in all cases.

That would be wonderful. A lot of the arguments are just imports, and these would have probably have the largest upside. It would be great if there was a construct like import numpy @app.cell def my_cell(np: types.ModuleType[

by sixo 1y ago
Unfortunately the code in Marimo notebooks implements cross-variable references as untyped function arguments, meaning that nothing passed between cells can be type-safe. This makes it very hard to use tooling directly on the Python represe

If you use an UNLOGGED table in Postgres as a cache, and your DB restarts, you no longer have a cache. Then your main table gets a huge spike in traffic and likely grinds to a halt.

I toyed around with the idea of using an LLM to "compile" user instructions into a kind of AST of scaffolding, which can then be run by another LLM. It worked fairly wellbfor the kind of semi-structured tasks LLMs choke on like &q

I see no reason to believe an effective LLM-scale "world-modeling" model would look anything like the kinds of things previous generations of AI researchers were doing. It will probably look a lot more like a transformer architect
