Agree. It's bizarre how everyone jumps to the conclusion that increased demand for electricity is a bad thing and can only be solved by limiting its use. The amount of electricity available is determined by how much we choose to produc

Depending on what you learned first, dots and parentheses are a lot simpler to understand than math expressions.

A lot of what you need is already written, you just need to find the right libraries and write the bindings. From my encounters with Python ML it seems like "just use Pytorch" is a bit like "simply walk into Mordor".

If you're using Node you can write whatever you want in C++ and then add a binding to call it from within your Node app. Don't need WebGL.

The benefit of having it in JS is not speed but portability and access to the JS ecosystem of tools. Having the code run in the browser without needing a complex setup is a huge benefit for sharing demos. Node.js provides a way to use nativ

If each of those operators were implemented as functions then you'd have different names for different implementations in order to avoid confusion over what type of division or multiplication they were performing. It's more verbos

Wow! Thank you for doing this. It looks like a great starting point for anyone approaching deep learning from the JS ecosystem. It is very plainly written and looks like it will be a joy to learn from. Thank you for adding JSDoc comments wi

What's wrong with creating a function that does those things? It would be less surprising to people new to the library, would be self-documenting by having a name and an easily inspected declaration with named arguments, and it would b

Interesting that this involves a response similar to an immune response to a pathogen. I've read a couple articles about alternate theories of Alzheimer's linking it to an increased immune response in the brain.

I think you're talking to the wrong point. These memories aren't being encoded in germ cells, they are after the fact changes to DNA in mature neurons which have completely differentiated. I would think it's very possible at

As many others have noted, once you've got everything stable (and hopefully profitable) you should seriously explore a way to use this as input into any text field in any program. Microsoft is actively experimenting with something simi

I wouldn't say always. The way the "confidently wrong" answers make sense to me are in the context of asking people trick questions that seem to have an obvious answer but actually require more deliberate thought to get right

From the phrasing of the second quote it seems like GPT-5 might be synonymous with their conception of AGI or at least agentic AI. Maybe it was just bad phrasing and he was using GPT-5 as a stand in for the ultimate goal but to me at least

Nice work! I built something similar years ago and I did compile the probabilities based on a corpus of text (public domain books) in an attempt to produce writing in the style of various authors. The results were actually quite similar to

Features like function calling are moving in that direction. Microsoft also seems to have plans to deeply integrate LLMs into its OS and if they do a good job it could become a primary way to interact with its features and programs. Conside

We need to produce and use more energy, not less, not the same amount, more. At the most basic level, our survival depends on it to produce the things we need: food, water, heat, shelter, but beyond that the quality of life and the ability

Kinda neat but it seems a lot of "cyberdecks" are now just converging on "laptop" or "palm pilot". The essence behind a cyberdeck is its retro-futuristic design which produces an anachronistic feeling like some

True, I was thinking this over and I can see where surprise plays a part in curiosity but I don't think it's the main driver. I think your example shows this because when I click on the link out of curiosity it's because I do

Using prediction error as the definition of curiosity rings hollow for me. Curiosity in my mind is more about mapping out an unexplored thing and not about being surprised.

Mincing words. The term is necessary when you have to discuss whether someone has the requisite knowledge to do-the-thing. If someone has a heart attack in a theatre you ask if there are any doctors in the audience. If the whole flight crew

Not a great comparison, custom GPTs use plugins or function calling similar to how they use code interpreter. You can't really compare them because plugins or functions are a tool that GPTs use in addition to other features. The advant

Ghost cities are a good example of how simply building housing is not a perfect solution. If the housing is somewhere where people don't want to be then it is worthless and also useless since no one can make use of it if they can'
