One intriguing possibility is that LLMs may have stumbled upon an as yet undiscovered structure/"world model" underpinning the very concept of intelligence itself.

Should such a structure exist (who knows really, it may), then what we are seeing may well be displays of genuine intelligence and reasoning ability.

Can LLMs ever experience consciousness and qualia though? Now that is a question we may never know the answer to.

All this is so fascinating and I wonder how much farther LLMs can take us.

You do realise that you are literally turning gears in your head to come up with some witty line but end up justifying my comment yourself without even trying to understand what I said. If the BBC documentary can provide new evidence or some common person comes up with new evidence, they can literally repoen the case, and who knows may be the accusations may be found with a guilty verdict. There are several cases that have been re-opened, and verdicts reversed decades later. Supreme court giving a clean chit doesn't mean a permanent certificate of innocence. It just means evidence was not strong by prosecution during the trial.

Energy is mass, mass is energy. E=mc^2, remember?

Mass is not in general conserved. Every second every main-sequence star in the universe converts untold millions of tons of mass to energy.

But in general relativity even energy is not conserved because the universe is expanding.
For example?

I am capable of making assumptions by myself, I fail to see how these assumptions are relevant in the real World, where I never observed them except for single cases that are everywhere and happen more or less with the same frequency.

Energy and mass are equivalent and their relation is E=mc^2

Batteries have already been produced on the scale required for frequency stability purposes (about 20 minutes for the entire world electricity production), and there are plenty of reserves left even without switching to abundant chemistries (which has always been possible but is happening now because they're actually starting to be needed). These mystical high penetration costs have also never materialised in and of the grids that exceeded 30% VRE even without batteries.

Add in just a tiny amount of battery and South Australia's grid is more stable than it was with gas and coal and has smaller price excursions during demand spikes. The exact opposite of the prediction based on real data.

This sort of stuff doesn’t surprise me any more. I’ve been on a number of “desktop support” sessions over the last few years and seen some shit.

People like that and the associated competence level are rolling out the red carpet.

E=mC^2 so they are interchangeable. Atomic bombs work because the fusion products have a slightly smaller mass than the matter before the reaction, and even a tiny amount of mass multiplied by the speed of light squared becomes a really big amount of energy.

Having said that, I too am wondering about conservation of mass/energy and how that pans out with this new conjecture.

I think philosophy is relevant to mathematics in the sense that one sometimes must be willing to step back from what one is doing, and ask deeper questions: Am I making assumptions here that are actually not true? This is a difficult thing, because how can you free yourself from assumptions you don't even know you made?

Platonism can help here, because if you are trying to create a thing you know should exist, but you fail to do it, although you try again and again and again, then at some point you can either give up, because you think it is all arbitrary anyway, so why bother? Or you just keep digging, reevaluating your assumptions until something clicks.

It's great it's here, but isn't everyone and their dog who wants features like this using PostCSS, LESS or SASS? In a build environment that nearly makes this transparent.

I use Vite and PostCSS and a bevy of linters, image processing tools, even for CSS-only projects because they're so fast and generally so good at what they do that it'd be silly not to. I used to hodge tools together with Makefiles but Vite in particular has made the setup for all this stupid-simple.

I make changes, 100ms later Vite deposits a new, optimised build into my Django static dir.
This seems odd to me. This is basically just ways of finding database-esque tables in spreadsheets to then leverage for vector/matrix operations.

It is a non-problem for anyone who really cares about performance as they've probably already realised they can just use a database some efficiently programmed transformations.

I guess it would be a great help for those poorly-optimised mega-spreadsheets that one can find in the corporate world. I'd say that the solution shouldn't be a smart algorithm to enable further mis-use of excel/spreadsheeting-tools, but rather to migrate the processes to a database. Not only do you get better data storage and computational speed efficiency, you also enable better data governance and access (or access control).

It might be able to affect the list of frequently searched words, once it finds out, or perhaps ad prices.

> Gotcha, so then can you give me a date/time limit on when I am allowed to make fun of you, if zero people lose court cases on this?

Well, people have already lost fair-use defenses because they failed on ONE of the four factors. Some cases were lost due to commercialisation, some were lost because too much of the original work was used, some were lost because of monetary or distribution harm to the original author.

So, when you say "like this" you mean "commercial mass harvesting of copyright works to produce a new work"?

> I just need an exact date,

The onus is on the AI owners to prove fair use, and you want a date when that defense will lose?

Just how new are you to copyright and law? Who knows when court cases end? We cannot tell in advance when cases (hearings) may actually start (can be up to two years, sometimes), when they will actually end (another two years?).

How about this instead - we wait for the first judgement that rules on a fair use defense for training machine models?

We set a specific wager, I propose "Fair use is not a significant defense against usage of works to train machine models". That's binary - there's no shades of grey there.

I'm betting on that statement being true, you're betting against that statement being true.

There's an issue too where the flat d20 system makes the AC and +hit scaling really off in my view.

If you go from only getting hit on 17+ to only hit on 18+ then you are reducing your incoming hits by 25%, and the scaling only gets even more skewed from there. Whereas on a barely armoured wizard, going from being hit on an 8+ or 9+ barely makes any difference.

In some sense it encourages specialism but on the other hand it doesn't sit well with me. Having extremes less likely would also help with this since you'd be cutting out a smaller chunk of the curve each time.

Hmm.

We have a bunch of serverless functions that are generating records that fit a relational data structure. (AWS Lambda)

We would like to write these records to a persistent relational data store so another downstream process can read it.

Amazon RDS seems like an overkill.

Amazon DynamoDB (NoSQL) seems like a misfit because we want to execute relational queries and some joins against this data.

We could write to CSV on S3 and query using Athena/Presto. Seems clunky and slow.

Am I missing any obvious solution here OR there is a space here for a service that offers a lightweight relational datastore that multiple loosely coupled readers and writers can use.

Doesn't it mean that everything is true? Is 2+2=4 the same kind of truth as "elves live in Lorien"?

Disagree. The problem with emoji is that it relies on the "font" used too heavily. What's worse is that these "fonts" are controlled by the device that you use. My prime example of this is the skull emoji, imagine sending your mom this: "grandma :skull: sleep during the movie".

To a youngster this simply means: grandma "deadass" (i.e. actually) slept through the entire movie.

To your parent: grandma died in the cinema.

Just look at the different ways a skull can be represented depending on your devices https://emojipedia.org/skull/

Notice how different they are. I prefer using kaomoji more because:

1. its way more creative,
2. its consistent across devices (way more, anyways)

this sleeping kaomoji like "(_ _ ) . . z Z" will probably be rendered in the same way for 99.99% of the people that see it throughout the text's lifetime.

Both of my grandmothers had Alzheimer's, and both clearly in retrospect tried to hide their problems as long as possible. Knowing might have made some difference in type of care, but not much, and at least one of them clearly explicitly hid it because she was as scared of the potential consequences of e.g. ending up in a nursing home as she was of the condition itself. I'm terrified of getting it, given what I've seen of it, and the prevalence of it in my family, but I'm not at all confident I'd want to know because of how it might affect my enjoyment of the time I'd have left.

At the same time, by the time it becomes a question, odds are the patient may be showing symptoms where it isn't a question if anything is wrong, but whether or not what they have is treatable (that we know something was seriously wrong was the case for both my grandmothers). Perhaps being able to rule Alzheimer's out will be helpful in that respect.
Hey there, I've never deployed anything but will be going to in the (very) near future. I'm self-taught and really haven't fooled around with servers, ever. So instead of just going down the PaaS way I was hoping to kind of turn my computer/raspberry pie into a server as a fun learning project.

From what I understood of all the explanations here, in layman's terms, a real-time system is very quick to respond to signals but it doesn't guarantee the total amount of processing done for each signal, only that it will processes as many signals as possible. Whilst a non real-time system doesn't care much about the total amount of signals, instead it wants to process as much as possible on each signal without blocking other signals to much.

For example, music production is low bandwidth (meaning that not a lot of data goes in each individual action) but it has a lot of signals that when not processed immediately, things will sound off. Same for a space rocket, small packets of data stream from one subsystem to another and things can go bad if the data gets delayed, but each data packet does not requires huge amounts of processing, they just need to be processed ASAP. Both of these benefit from a real time system.

On the other hand, when you are doing something like graphical rendering, heavy data processing like training machine learning models, mining crypto, simulations and other types of processes that require a lot of data to be processed in one go and don't really mind if the data gets processed now or 1ms later, then you're better off with a non real-time system. Because if you had a real-time system for these tasks, you could actually see lower total performance for each marco task. Applications would be very snappy on your desktop, but you'd have to wait a bit longer for things to load fully in a real time system that does medium to high data processing.

Games are a mix of both maybe, real-time for input processing and sound, non real-time for graphical rendering (if you don't need extremely consistent framer ates in the realms of <1% deviation or something). With in game physics simulation being a mix of both.

Is that a fair summary?

But then there's low latency systems? Which I don't really know the difference compared to a real-time system, that should offer low latency by default because it tries to process as many signals as they come in.
Stupid question, but do you have something like "rainbow-brackets" active in youre code-editor ? I found it really help me.

They are entirely different things, only related by the word “dark”. Dark energy is “negative” energy in the sense that it drives expansion rather than slowing it down. Its energy density is also constant, meaning it is not diluted by expansion unlike matter (dark or not) and normal energy. It seems to be a fundamental property of spacetime.
