Eh ok, but the trick is then taking the limit for L->infty and use Stirling’s approx which is what Shannon did

With all the galaxies out there, it seems likely that Earth should be in the focus of lots of systems of this kind. Hopefully in the future we'll be able to find and use these galactic telescopes!

I think it is a good thing for AI that we hit the data ceiling, because the pressure moves toward coming up with better model architectures. And with respect to a decade ago there's a much larger number of capable and smart AI research

I bet we are underestimating and misunderstanding animal intelligence by a lot. Animals are not lesser humans, they have other worlds.

About 20 years ago I was an undergrad at the university of Padova (italy), and in the outskirts of the city (in Legnaro) there was a fusion experiment. The fusion device was in one building and the control room was in an adjacent building.

I've worked in quantum nonlinear optics during my first postdoc 12 years ago, and back then we could only dream of the efficiency of frequency conversions that are used here. So many advances in just a decade, and most of them don&#x27

I've been thinking about this for a while. Digital signatures can guarantee that a piece of data is authentic, if the author wishes to sign it.

What about comparisons to Claude 3.5? Sneaky.

In my experience when a flat monitor gets too large the edges tend to be too much further than the center and as I glance around, my eyes need to refocus too much. That’s why I vastly prefer curved screens. I currently use a 4K 32in curved

It's incredible how Shannon's papers read like they were written this decade.

I've taught undergrad and grad math. I think in principle you can, but only if your audience will either not need it in the future, or only need it superficially. If a student continues their path and become a practitioner they will ne

I’ve been using cursor for a while now and I think that if a problem is simple enough for an LLM to work out on its own, it’s probably not worth scratching one’s head over…

That’s not a fair comparison: land is finite in a way that the open internet isn’t.

but how does it know the constraints?

I see what you are saying. I guess it all depends on how complex one makes that test. But arguably vanilla LLMs (0-shot, no CoT, no rewrite memory) are much worse than humans at this.

If "it" = information, then sure. But the collapse of the quantum state is instantaneous.

Classical analogies only go so far. What's spooky about entanglement is that it works even if you change the measurement basis (as long as the two parts are using the same basis), which you cannot do with a coin.

I agree. Reasoning should be robust to perturbations of the way in which the same problem is cast, but LLMs have problems with that.

My favourite explanation (which IIRC is in a book by Brian Greene) is that you can think that everything always moves at the speed of light in a 4D spacetime . That way, if you stand still, you're moving only along time, and as you ti

I'm wondering about the "non-verbal language" that scientists use to communicate with people affected by aphasia. What makes a brain with aphasia understand it? Do brains have dedicated circuitry to process words? (as opposed

I can swear something like 20+ years ago I found a new one too, but I didn’t realize the importance of it. I had just downloaded GIMPS and I was just messing around with it, and when I saw the message I thought “ok, cool!” and proceeded to
