I’d say Markdown meets every one of those criteria except “more features” (which is a feature IMO) and “easier to monetise” (which is another feature. :D )

Therein lies the rub, no? To accurately predict the next token produced by a process, it’s necessary to model that process. If the process is a human attempting to estimate the duration of a task, then in some sense the LLM is modeling the

You can do interesting things with microwave kilns these days, I wonder if they get hot enough for ceramics? They can melt copper, I believe, so they’d be in the ball park.

I’m fixing up an old Bridgeport-style 5hp mill and converting it to CNC. I got it working enough to make myself a fly cutter out of scrap steel. :)

Why are things the way they are? Because it works better. Simple, really. :D

Aaah right, thanks for the explanation! I had read 'tablet' as 'iPad type thing', not 'Wacom type thing'. That sounds really effective, I might give it a go.

This reminds me of that quote about how if our brains were simple enough for us to understand, we'd be too simple to understand them.

That was my take, too. You could control a bike with just one linear neuron with one input, if you pass in the correct steering torque. Still a fun paper.

PID works fine if you parametrise it right, which is what this paper does. Consider the variety of inverted pendulums etc. that are used as as examples to teach PID control.

And that operations combine those error bars in unintuitive (until you develop that intuition… but then does that still count as intuition?) ways.

Common doesn’t mean not shady. In Australia there are measures in place (eg. national registry for company directors, personal liability for directors) to combat this kind of ‘phoenixing’.
