You only do (formal) logic as an afterthought when communicating your proofs to other people or writing them down. Otherwise it's mostly intuition.

> That’s actually correct but an overfitted definition for learning. It holds certain hidden assumptions (i.e physical grounding) of the learner being human which makes it inapplicable to an LLM.

Inapplicable why exactly? Because you say so? Logic isn't magic. Nor is learning. No (external) grounding is required either: iteratively eliminating inconsistent world models is all you need to converge toward a model of the real world. Nothing especially human or inhuman about it. LLM architecture may not be able to represent a fully recursive backtracking truth maintenance system, but it evidently managed to learn a pretty decent approximation anyway.

Haha, I can imagine! For kids, you usually design different, including skeuomorphic. I am not a specialist on kids interface design, but I have seen some impressive demonstrations. Big buttons that speak, color coding, friendly characters guides and so on.
To add to this, the superset of these ideas is referred to as "non-blocking", and lock-freedom is one flavor. There is also obstruction-freedom, starvation-freedom, wait-freedom, etc.. All of which have their own trade-offs and complexities. If you're interested in some literature, McKenney's book[0] is considered a great practical introduction to these ideas. (also discussed before on HN [1][2])

In applications where you're willing to trade throughput for latency (like RTOS schedulers, drivers, audio processing), it can often make sense to go for a wait-free data structure.

> Yes! They initially reviewed CB's S-1, determined the model + products are legal, and allowed them to become a public company. CB's model hasn't changed since then, but now it's supposedly illegal without any change in legislation?

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works

Have you read the S1? It's a prospectus which details the general business model and strategy for Coinbase the company, to provide context around the registration of Coinbase stock as securities. It talks a lot about Bitcoin and Ethereum in general, but what it doesn't do is provide a list of every single product that Coinbase might sell at some point in the future for the SEC to vet and declare "legal". Selling unregistered securities is illegal regardless of whether you're a public company or not, I'm really not sure how this weird fixation on Coinbase's IPO filings is relevant.

In any case, if I set up as a pharmaceutical company, go public etc. and then suddenly start selling heroin to the general public, you can't ding the DEA/FDA/whoever for "allowing me to become a public company".

Looking on the Coinbase website, they currently offer 257 "tradable" assets. If the SEC thinks any one of these is a security, and they've not been registered (show me the S1 for, I don't know, "IoTex"), then they're going to bring an action.

> Good regulation happens in dialogue, like when CFDs and warrants were banned for retail. I don't think that's too much to ask for.

I've a lot of sympathy with this view, but the regulators are inherently a political organisation and you play the government you're dealt. If the SEC isn't interested in a dialogue (and they're not legally obliged to be), then you do the thing and wait to get sued. Or don't do the thing!

Volkswagen business model is to profit off satisfying customers, yet their menu navigation is censored and they were never bothered to change it. How's that working differently for Kagi? Paying Kagi users just got hit with a new price model which judging by the reactions around here was not very welcome. Yet they all keep selling products, both Kagi and Volkswagen, against customer complaints. Can we agree that there's a lot of gray area in the "customer is king" saying?

The 50+ years old video game market is tiny

I know this wasn't your main point, but this is very much not the case (source: have worked in games for 13 years).
I'm not sure the market is as tiny as you think. 4 out of 10 adults over 50 play on average 12 hours per week. By reading the article it seems that many are casual gamers who use games to relax, and women are the most frequent players. I suspect you will also find a large portion of 30+ gamers playing the same type of games.

To me it seems like a large enough market to target. Candy crush has nailed the target group (Women 35+) and is making lots of money.

Alas, that was around the time Google Translate switched to Neural Networks:

See https://blog.google/products/translate/found-translation-mor... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Neural_Machine_Translat...

It doesn't look like they are still using any rule-based reasoning?

The blog post says:

Which seems pretty strong evidence to me that moving away from rule-based reasoning or even a hybrid approach that includes rule-based reasoning, was a clear win?
I have fond memories of running Platoons in Planetside 2. The semi persistent world dynamics, combined with squads and then squads being able to firm platoons, and the map marker system. All of it felt very unique and polished, and not something I've seen replicated elsewhere. I was sad when it started to die out.
Oh, yeah, don't get me started... It is SO damn freaking annoyinggly hard to set up a common packet size for all my devices! Completely ridiculous! For example, I have NAS-to-Switch 10G fiber that supports > 9000, switch-to-clients 10G fiber and 1G copper, and every damn machine has different NIC with not only different frame caps (some 4K, some 8K, some 9K, others unknown), but they represent different numbers!! For example, Intel vs Mellanox accept byte numbers with and without headers (don't remember which is which) - try guessing! That's in Windows, of course. Where vendors design their UIs/configs.

A few months of effort at home with our 6yo got him from being well behind in reading to caught up with his classmates. We had no idea he was struggling until his teacher told us.

The effort at home involved gentle encouragement and keeping him focused on the phonics homework. It wasn’t tough on him or us but it has restored his confidence and he’s keeping up with his classmates now.

This is totally the kind of problem that could have festered and led to poor outcomes for him in all of his schooling if we’d ignored it.

As a soon-to-be "gamer 50-plus" I think it's less that "Gamers 50-plus are [...] embracing gaming because they feel it’s time well spent" - most of them are simply continuing to play games because they have been doing it since their youth and don't see why they should stop at 50.

This is a recurring problem with science reporting. Falsifiability and reproducibility demand that good studies focus on very specific, well-defined effects. Then it gets reported as leading to much broader conclusions on the topic as a whole.

Counterintuitively, "missing the forest for the trees" is exactly what you want a study like this to do. You can let a later meta-analysis figure out how to make a forest out of the trees.

"Sentient" is more about senses. There seems to be a bit of disagreement and overlap, and the way they throw the murky "conscious" into the definitions doesn't help.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sentient:

Adjective

sentient (comparative more sentient, superlative most sentient)

1. Experiencing sensation, thought, or feeling.

2. Able to consciously perceive through the use of sense faculties.

3. (loosely, chiefly science fiction) Possessing human-like awareness and intelligence.
Synonyms: sapient; see also Thesaurus:self-aware

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sapient:

Adjective

sapient (comparative more sapient, superlative most sapient)

1. Attempting to appear wise or discerning.

2. (dated) Possessing wisdom and discernment; wise, learned.

3. (chiefly science fiction) Of a species or life-form, possessing intelligence or self-awareness.
Synonyms: sentient; see also Thesaurus:self-aware

This is a wonderful example of how deeply ingrained Hollywood is into design cultures. The whole reason for this is to preserve the 'security' of HDCP – an anti-consumer technology at its finest.

> The point is that keeping sensitive data on the average person's computer, on the state that those are (loaded with all kinds of crap programs, clicking on whatever shady links, frequently duped for the most BS malware and spyware, and so on), is a bad idea.

This is fearmongering exaggeration.

In any case, no, the point you made, which I responded to, was "The desktop has the luxury to afford not being as secure as your phone". But it doesn't have such a supposedly luxury, because a lot of people in fact do what you claim (absurdly) they shouldn't: store sensitive information on their desktop.

> Not so weird considering that for phones an internet backup comes as a one-click built-in operation on by default for many things, whereas for computers those options all require user activity, third party peripherals or accounts, and so on.

For better or worse, Apple pushes iCloud by default on Mac just as much as on iPhone, so there's no difference.

If you want a $75k+ luxury car, by all means, get one. But you're crazy if you say it's cheaper than a $4k used ICE vehicle, which was the initial claim. It's also crazy to say a $75k+ luxury car has a lower TCO than a $40k 2023 Camry.

Also, socialists don't call each other "comrade." You're thinking of European communists [*], and I suspect South American communists. But when I talked with South American communists, they just called me "Amigo."

Interesting fact I just learned: they're apparently still publishing Pravda, but that is not where I heard about Tesla battery fires. I learned about them from living down the road from a power station where Tesla batteries caught fire. Sort of a "Hey! I wonder where those fire trucks are going? Is that smoke coming from Moss Landing?" sort of moment. And while I often wonder if NBC, CBS and CNBC are crazy, they are not, as you suspect, outlets for Pravda.

Author here. Not all HDMI/HDCP implementations work like this. Basically, the designer of the SoC (NXP) will have licenced an HDMI/HDCP IP block from some company selling such IP. It looks like NXP licenced their HDMI/HDCP IP from Cadence in this case, a major provider of silicon IP.

So this particular HDMI/HDCP implementation is designed to require this signed blob in order for it to function. Could Cadence have designed it so you can use it without HDCP without this blob, or use an unsigned blob and forego HDCP support, probably. But they didn't, so that's the situation.
"Figure 2: Recurrent memory mechanism. Memory is passed to Transformer along input sequence embeddings, and memory output is passed to the next segment. During training gradients flow from the current segment through memory to the previous segment."

The whole point of the 2017 paper "Attention is all you need" was to show that the recurrent structure previously used (with attention mechanisms) wasn't needed. It's pretty cool if it does turn out that both mechanisms are needed and powerful together. After all, the brain doesn't linearly process the entire book you're reading from page 1 to where you are, for every new word you read, it stashes the important parts into short/long term memory along the way.

Still, passing gradients back through several stages like that is typically a tricky thing to do in practice.
I've studied mathematics, too. Yes, formal logic is an afterthought when you do mathematics. But formal logic is just an explicit representation of what goes on internally in a mathematician. Or at least that's how I approach formal logic (most logicians don't). I would describe these internal processes inside a mathematician (and outside, when used for communication) as intuition + "logic to keep intuition in check". Sounds like ML + logic to me.
