I am not sure without additional clarification, but by “pseudo intellectual LLM assisted rampage” you seem to be referring to the long passage I pulled verbatim from the notes section of the author’s post. I am not sure what argument you ar

No one in adjacent fields has been seriously engaging tabula rasa speculation from the 17th century for quite some time prior to this paper. What you think the implications are of that for your present day lived experience, that might be a

I haven’t had time to really dig in to the paper but these data (from only one region) are limited in their ability to compare regions, right? If anything they seem to support homogenization of intellectual capacity/mental health in Eu

Let’s not avoid the problem by being disingenuous. The below, to you, does not qualify as trying to be an intellectual? The author skips over 150 years of engagement with Peirce and tries to go straight back to the source but fails to locat

I call the author out for not being widely read in areas where they are attempting to coin neologisms. If that seems like insulting someone’s intelligence and telling them to calm down to you then I’m not sure this will be a productive conv

Rereading my comment I don’t see anything about the author’s intelligence or anxiety level.

When you have insane amounts of capital and your gpu and talent needs are more or less met, there is a capital relief valve known as growth hacking. It only works if the consumer isn’t aware they’re being hacked.

Yeah I can’t disagree I think it is really disruptive in a corporate-job-expectation setting where you don’t have the same level of agency.

It is a quirky article but the author, instead of engaging with information sources to understand what important thoughts people have had about these topics, feels the best thing to do is introduce new terms that other terms already exist f

They sold everything of value they had for $39 million to buy and rent out GPUs and now are somehow worth four times that. Anyone with $40 million worth of something and a shell company can do the same thing.

The bigger issue for me is these business models prey on the poor and overworked. There are a lot of people who can’t buy a $200 backpack because they need that money for food, but they still need a backpack, only have time to grab somethin

This is part of it for sure. It is also true that many open source business depended on it not being worth the trouble to figure out the hosting setup, ops etc, and the code. Typical open source businesses also make a practice of running a

You’re fractionally right with GPUs but RAM and SSDs run on different processes at different fabs.

Ding ding ding, and this is why you are hearing about it. It is marketing for enterprise to pay a premium for the next model, with maybe a wakeup call to enforcement agencies as well (which is also marketing). Codegen for many companies is

The past few generations I found I was not pleased with their performance, so now I take them weekly to the macbook sharpener at the saturday market.

At what point does active suspension become robotics? Because there are a lot of automakers who should be repositioning to get their multiples up.

And it is extremely likely Nio made that deal to see whether they could embrace, extend, extinguish them.

Right but wasn’t high effort the default effort before? So ultrathink is gone in all but name.

They don’t want to officially disclose the reality because while some users will understand the realities of protecting a product while innovating, many will just realize it means one can go looking for claude 4.5 performance elsewhere.

I’m going in circles. Let me take a step back and try something completely different. The answer is a clean refactor. Wait, the simplest fix is the same hack I tried 45 minutes ago but in a different context. Let me just try that. Wait,

If this were true and you were their manager you would not have to deal with it. You could coach or remove them.

The job of execs/middle managers seems to often be dual parenting: 1) coordinate the capable well-parented employees below them, and 2) pander to the usefully myopic spoiled brats above.

Yes exactly, your conception of write includes their conception of erase. Bennett’s reversible computing is essentially just the way to avoid erasure: whenever you write, keep all the previous states around.

I view people like him like large satellites or small planets that have been crashing through everything mindlessly and creating this wake of wreckage. The only way to keep going is to not look back, or in this framing, not look in. In sing

This is an overstatement of the protection that blanks provide. As it says, they only (potentially) provide insight into contamination caused during the extraction process.

Yeah it’s called a regex. With a lot of human assistance it can do less but fits in smaller spaces and doesn’t break down.

Is this true for anything beyond the simplest LLM architectures? It seems like as soon as you introduce something like CoT this is no longer the case, at least in terms of mechanism, if not outcome.

Those products aren’t typically described as having been “hyped” though — just successful or viral. Hyped has a sort of derogatory/schadenfreude subtext.

Erasure is logically irreversible, writing a bit is not. When you erase a bit you compress the logical phase space of the closed system, which means the missing information has to go somewhere — in this case a couple of very low energy phon
