It also weeds you out if you reproduce but your children choose not to (and/or don’t get chosen), which adds an interesting dimension.

This is just emergence, though? How is emergence related to completeness? This happens over and over with the relatively new popularization of a theory: the theory is proposed to be the solution to every missing thing in the same rough conc

Energies, yes, but the concept of energy quanta is inverted to e.g. time and length in that we have a maximum, not a minimum, where our understanding/models are limited, right?

This is interesting, but it seems to be at odds with SaaS models where the idea can be you get high margins because you get low usage generally. I can see why people buying/using software would want this, but why would any software sta

What do you mean, “Amazon doesn’t really work that way”? Parent is talking about how C-Suite doesn’t want to trumpet something that implies their entire corporate structure is extremely disadvantaged vs new entrants and your response is “Am

I’ve honestly been having a pretty good time with embedded dev and claude code, including board bring up and rtos dev. As you mention providing the context is the key. I also have a fair bit of embedded dev/management experience so kno

I'm saying adding "think step by step" does not get you close to actual reasoning, it just produces marginally self-consistent linguistic reasoning. Actual reasoning requires training on diverse data sources, as you noted, bu

Did you even read the article you posted? It supports my statement. CoT produces the linguistic scaffolding for reasoning, but doesn't actually provide much accuracy in doing so. e.g. https://developer.nvidia.com/blog&#

Then please provide a more accurate one that supports the opposite and simplistic conclusion that it doesn't matter when you eat what calories.

You’re absolutely wrong! This is not how reasoning models work. Chain-of-thought did not produce reasoning models.

This is trivially shown to be false. Imagine a system with a background/quiescent energy consumption of 1000kCal/day. Imagine that same system can buffer up to 500kCal for up to 24 hours store excess energy in circulation. Imagine

You might look into the Norway rat experiments done by Calhoun and the idea of a behavioral sink. The essence of your hypothesis was disproven, in rats, likely before you were born. It seems your idea of the primacy of the forces of evoluti

It is interesting to think about how they are achieving these scores. The evals are rated by GPT-4.1. Beyond just overfitting to benchmarks, is it possible the models are internalizing how to manipulate the ratings model/agent? Is anyo

You assume evolution is a force that constrains the advance of humanity in some simple survival-of-the-reproductive way, when instead it is an emergent process that no longer operates this way in humans. What you have proposed as the only p

You’ll have to be more descriptive for me to have any hope of answering. If by your gloves have a thing at the end you mean a patch of special fabric, yes, that fabric conducts from your skin to the screen.

Shallow marketing piece. “Claude is promising unlimited and it isn’t sustainable.” “For a limited time only pay us $20 and get $80 worth of credits.” Look at what these people on HN said! Come on.

No, you need roughly a small human's worth of ground mass for most capacitive touch sensors to register a touch.

The thing about MLM schemes (or I guess MLH schemes in this case) is that the pyramid at the bottom is flat and small, and this example illustrates that intuitively more immediately than Avon. Are you interested in being a follower of a fol

I find these posts primarily interesting as a sort of demographic heatmap. Like now it has gotten to the point where instead of only chasing their interest of choice (geohot hacking, in this case), this person has become aware of the issue,

Reasoning is one information-processing process, performed by humans, with bounds on what it can accomplish. It works in a limited context and is inherently incomplete and imperfect. Other non-logical processes, emergent processes, parallel

Setting up reasoning from first principles vs magical thinking is a false dichotomy and an implicit swipe.
