   I think of physics as the APIs that Nature gave us. Human laws are very limited wrappers around those APIs.

   This is a minority point of view on quantum computing, as I understand.

   This would be a problem if knowledge were a closed system. In that case it would suffice to invoke the data processing inequality and sooner or later your knowledge is all gone and you’re left with just noise. However, if AI enables new kno

   I’ve been using it for a few months on a raspberry pi 4. I installed (via runtipi) pi hole for dns, Netdata for monitoring and Tailscale for remote access. Works great for me and my family, I can stream videos from jellyfin for my kids when

   Good that no person was shot. Bad that this will bolster US police use of robots. Who knows what will happen down that road.

    Physicist here: yes, it is theoretically possible, but practically impossible because the complexity of a classical simulation of a quantum system scales exponentially in the physical size of the system. It would be practically possible if

    Rather than tagging what’s made up, why not tag what’s genuine? There’s gonna be less of it than the endless mountain of generated stuff. I’m thinking something as simple as a digital signature that certifies e.g. a photo was made with my p

    “ A lot of time can be saved by printing stains directly on the page rather than adding them manually.” I love this humor.

    This sounds to me like the king of XY problems: it shouldn’t cost 25k to go to the ER in the first place.

    I always get a laugh from the section "Frequently bought together", which is often a obvious lie.

    > The operating reactors are cooled by the inert gas helium instead of water. Is this going to hit a wall when scaling up? Helium is notoriously scarcer lately https://www.innovationnewsnetwork.com/helium-shortage-4-0-wh.

    250K is -23C, or -9F, I.e. like a cold winter day. That’s really almost room temperature!

    Professional physicist here. I've attended a lecture series by Barabasi in Austria in 2017, I was blown away. After day 1 I ordered the book on Amazon and had it signed before the end of the event.

    Is it that a lot of capacity is unused in those behemoth LLMs, or that the smaller language model just mimics the reasoning task? (Mimics the mimicking?)

    Thank you, great answer. As soon as I had asked my question I realized that we must have a lot of unconscious behaviours. Very interesting points about surprise/expectations. And top marks for the advice about kids

    physicist here (so very naive on these topics) - I’m wondering how to compare the steps you mention regarding the door problem (especially the predictive ones, e.g. about the trajectory of the door as it opens, etc) with how humans open doo

    Very nice, but there’s a technical error in the section “in quantum physics”. A density matrix as described does not represent the state of two systems, just one system. I think the author is confusing a vector in H⊗H with a bounded operato

    Physicist here. I have no idea what they mean by the entropy having to be larger than klog2 “implies” thermodynamics. Implies it how?
