Consider this: while the inner state of an LLM (all its activations, residuals stream that is cached in the KV cache) is fully deterministic given its input sequence, the information contained in it IS NOT identical to the information in th

It is also the other way around: Israel doesn't have any incentive to formally annex a territory that is full of Palestinians because that would make it more complicated to deprive them of rights (as they did with the residents of Je

It's also interesting because in humans the existence of "Aha!" moments that are not preceded by or are only loosely related to a chain of thought is taken as the proof of the fundamental mystery and irreproducibility of huma

No I meant exactly what I wrote, that Israel does not have official borders. In the example of the comment you replied to, if you try to cross any number of unofficial, illegal, and moveable borders in the vicinity of Israel, Israel might o

Might be that I am not reading probabilities correctly, but how do 1.3% -> 11.2% and 1.8% -> 15% become "15 to 30 times more likely"? Sounds like less then ten times?

Yes. And these people have successfully managed to pollute the US information system with their "independent reporting" on the Middle East media for close to thirty years.

Of course. It's all so simple: Israel is asked to police itself against the misappropriation of highly desirable territories belonging to others. What do you think will happen- and not just over one year, but over decades? Individuals

But since potential energy from gravity is mgh and kinetic energy of a projectile is 1/2 mv^2, calculating height and mass of a weight to power the projectile is absolutely straightforward. The terminal velocity of a falling weight has

No, I understand, it's the claim from the very first sentence that "gravity itself seemed to forbid" (reiterated later in the text) that annoyed me. It's just making up a non-existent obstacle to hype up the result.

What's extraordinary about this? You can get any amount of energy from gravity and transferring it to a small object doesn't sound like an especially complex feat. It's one of those influencer videos in which someone devotes
