All 6 steps are wrong. Goal definition is way down at step 5. Why do you even care about doing something even before you know the goal? Why does step 6 has word "urgency" in it, as if it applies to all goals? Getting more fundamen

If the article is written for human consumption, then it fails the primary goal (or logic?) of being useful. If a human has to digest a flood of this logic slop just to get convinced about this simple concept, they are not going to be able

The fact that it requires so much explanation, indicates the level of degradation in the reasoning ability of the audience. A value of a subtype shall deliver all of the expectations of its super type, because it is wearing both the hats of

Accept everything as moulded by the evolution. All the trends since the cave days to now. Believe that there is a purpose for the trend, even if the purpose is extinction. Do not assume that you caused something or invented something. You a

What a shame that you use that excuse to offset all other evils of AI, without even having a hint of how many patients were saved by AI. Just like how oil salesmen and nukes makers say that they solve some great problem of the world.

You assume that I assume that HN doesn't require data centers?

Ok, so why didn't this small dense model come up, say, 10 years back? Oh it needed all the AI evolution and concepts that were powered and evolved inside the data centers. But we still want to claim that it has nothing to do with the B

The local inference is a product that came out of the data-center-driven AI.

Well, it's not a fruit or food that I can eat. It's not a shelter, It's not a fellow human or a pet. So, hard to say if I like it.

Finally, we solved the problem of converting bird sounds into their pictures without involving human cognition. The great problem and the need had to wait for the great, ultra expensive, data-center-driven AI technology to appear on the hor

Nice idea. How does the provider receive the order from customer? Is it through phone call, or via some other app? If it is an app, won't that app have a status tracking feature?

Finding patterns and information using machines, in a seemingly random noise should no longer be a surpise, much the same way as lifting tonnes of weight using a crane is no longer a surprise.

That's normal human behavior when they are in survival mode. Aren't the AI agents supposed to learn and act like humans?

Nope. The medical advances created the inverted pyramid of demographics in the western world, filled by old people.

It shows that the human quest has been in wrong direction since the industrial age began. Domains like math and other inter-connected or inter-dependent domains - all exist in modern times only to keep people employed outside of basic work

You assume that everyone eats bread, like most westerners do. The rural families a few decades ago in most Asian countries did not need millers, bakers or any other salesmen.

Game engines, AI, robots and machines in general are establising a "goal horizon" for humans. This is unnecessary and counter productive way of using tools. Tools are supposed to work for us, not set goals or direction for us.

The same way as we talk about it's speed and travel etc - using higher level human perceptions.

by zkmon 2mo ago
Light doesn't have a "speed" as in the usual meaning of the word "speed". Talking about speed requires defining spatial distances and time durations, which are in turn defined or created by the phenomenon of light.

The standard strategy of a security salesman since 1945. Develop dangerous weapons, show the damage they can do, and sell security cover to the terrified people. Every single piece of technology did this. As a side effect or direct effect,

Complexity (the opposite of simplicity) has nothing to do with the size of a program, but usually there is a high chance that a large program is more complex than smaller one, purely because the complexity multiplies, not just adds up. A si

Unfortunately, the mass of people, in general, have very little self determination or descretion. People go with trends and crowds. That's a low resistance path, which does not require you to support your decisions. The trend will supp

Being loved is not a weakness. But a strong requirement to be loved is a weakness because that means you don't have strength to be happy without being loved.

Desires are OK as long as they don't make you unhappy when you can't have them. But that's not usually the case, which means they became crutches, making your happiness to depend on achieving them. As an example, there are pl
