It's a matter of interface: people like the idea of humanoid robots because all the interfaces are already optimized for humans, thus if robots have that form factor they can use the same devices/tools that humans do and we wouldn't have to change the designs of these machines.

The question is: how much information is lost in the process? How many layers of complexity we would add to a machine ensemble to be able to operate together at a satisfactory level? The machine learning corollary of understanding the whole picture of the problem/solution space and that leading to simpler solutions (because you don't have to optimize further) applies here. At the end of the day, cost, complexity and practicality will have the final word.

Hashnode created a scalable event-driven architecture (EDA) for composing feed data for thousands of users.

The solution leverages Step Functions' distributed maps feature that enables high-concurrency processing.

> What is the Big O run time on this?

The claim is they’re dropping half the multiplications, so it isn’t doing anything for Big O.

> If you want to improve the project credibility please consider being honest and open about what is actually going on and giving some clear explanations and illustrations,

The math explaining how to halve the number of multiplications in the paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.12224) isn’t hard to understand.

You only have to read formulas 2 (traditional matrix multiplication) and 3 to 6.

I think it’s clear it does do what’s being advertised, halving the number of multiplications at the cost of lots of extra additions/subtractions.

They then go on to better vectorize that algorithm. That, as is usual for that, gets looking messy soon.

My main concern would be numerical stability.
London and City of London are two different entities entirely so that comparison does not work. London at its largest refers to the 32 boroughs and City of London that makes up Greater London, not the City, to those of us who live here. At it's smallest, it still refers to most of that, not just City.

If we want to shorten the name of City of London, the short form is the City, not London. The only people who ever calls City by the name of London is people who have just learnt of the oddity.

Greater London makes up the formal boundaries of London. It's the legal and administrative boundary, and the city limits of London. Unusually, unlike the city limits of many other cities, you'll find plenty of people including people who live here who not quite consider the outer parts to be part of London. People where I live sometimes still consider it part of Surrey even though it's been part of London since 1965.

There are forests and agricultural areas almost entirely separating parts of the borough I live in from the rest of London.

Yet in other areas, the Greater London urban area expands well past what anyone would call London, including e.g. entirely separate towns in other counties, like Watford in Hertfordshire, Gravesend in Kent, Epsom and Guildford in Surrey.

So yes, these comparisons are tricky but that is the point.

E.g culturally, London is likely reasonably described as smaller than it's city limits, while indeed some other cities are often larger than them, but rarely as large as the urban area they are within. It's extremely common for towns on the outskirts of large cities to have their own separate identities and not be considered part of the adjoining city, but still form part of the same urban area.

Depending on what you want to compare and which cities you are comparing, different measures will be more or less appropriate, and may require different considerations.
We have enough advanced cryptographic schemes by this point where you can just encrypt most of the sensitive data stored in cloud environments at the client-level and render it useless to an attacker (barring considerations that they might hold on to the encrypted data until a weakness in the encryption scheme is discovered).

Store secrets directly with the client so attacks only compromise the data of one user and not all of them. Want if they lose the key or what if multiple groups need access? Shamir’s secret sharing. What if we might not trust some of the k of n group members? Require interaction with a public ledger that provably logs secret access as a part of the secret sharing scheme. What about machine learning on a massive amount of user data? Well, homeomorphic encryption isn’t quite there yet, but how much sensitive info do you really need for your training data?

We’re not going to eliminate security flaws in systems without provably correct programs by default (which is probably never going to happen), and even with that, you have the whole social element of security, which means you still need to design the system in a way that limits the damage one or a few people can do. Which requires a different type of identity management than IAM.

Believe it. Based on past experience as CTO and head of Security Engineering at one of the biggest orgs, this split is used and necessary, unless you want to inject yet another approval loop somewhere.

The first one lets someone get, list, or delete the backups, the second one lets someone make backups happen or not happen. I can absolutely see forcing regular backups to happen (a regulatory requirement) being a different person than whoever is using the backups, even different from the admin who can delete those backups.

(Delete means the backup admin can make it as if a backup didn't happen by deleting, but that's not what the compliance regulation covers, it has to happen in the first place, which is what the scheduleadmin covers.)

guess after doing a lot of meditating on 'no-self'. I started picking apart my own mind, and realizing it is all just electrical sparks and chemicals.

But then my engineer mind jumped in and said, of course we can model this. So then I get into arguments on the internet about how, of course we can model this.

Lets say we both agree on the real world existing. I think with us living in this real world. We are just arguing over the degree to which we'll be able to model a human. Of course, a model being an approximation. And I lean pretty far in the direction that once we model 'us' sufficiently to be indistinguishable from real 'us', then it will have also generated some subjective experience. (I firmly believed this until just recently after reading 'blindsight', i'm having doubts).

I think the Idealist from back in Schopenhauer day, were doing their best to describe the real world. Sometimes it sounds mystical, but that was before (or during) scientific revolution. The terminology is all different, and they didn't know a lot we take for granted. I wouldn't say they were mystics because they don't have todays knowledge.

The whole 'noumenal' world versus 'Phenomenal' world is valuable 'concept'. Our senses and mind only form an internal 'model' of the real world, it isn't the real world. But we can agree water is wet. But by how much. There are lot of studies about how different people perceive objects as moving faster/slower, etc... based on fear or anxiety. Our inner 'perception' isn't 'accurate', it isn't the actual real world. Just like a computers wouldn't be.

I can also select a piece and hit space and it grows in size and goes outside of its box for some reason? Is that relevant to solving puzzles? Or a bug? I guess I won't find out since I can't rotate pieces to progress further ....

Gnome and Wayland (among other things) are the way they are, in part, to make running anything other than a standard-package-selection Red Hat unappealing to folks who might pay for Linux (enterprise). It’s good for them if their stuff’s a bit broken if you use other distros, or configs/software they don’t want to support, and if they cause integration pain and extra work for other distros.

Or if that’s not the reason, the behaviors of a lot of projects RH birthed or heavily influence make a whole lot more sense if you assume it is and are fairly lacking in explanation otherwise. If it’s not the case, they’ve managed to accidentally do something that’s in their interest, I guess.

ok, here's a relevant paper, "Ketogenic diet in the treatment of cancer – Where do we stand?
": https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molmet.2019.06....

> Major conclusions: The ketogenic diet probably creates an unfavorable metabolic environment for cancer cells and thus can be regarded as a
promising adjuvant as a patient-specific multifactorial therapy. The majority of preclinical and several clinical studies argue for the use of the
ketogenic diet in combination with standard therapies based on its potential to enhance the antitumor effects of classic chemo- and radiotherapy,
its overall good safety and tolerability and increase in quality of life. However, to further elucidate the mechanisms of the ketogenic diet as a
therapy and evaluate its application in clinical practice, more molecular studies as well as uniformly controlled clinical trials are needed

I don't understand why people are so rejecting of this information. I'm not a researcher, just someone with interest in health and again, it looks to me as if there is evidence, anecdotal, experimental, and a theoretical basis.

It also seems obvious that a chronically anabolic state such as what modern lifestyles and eating habits encourage, with chronically elevated insulin, prevent the body from entering the catabolic state such as what happens during fasting, in which damaged cells get recycled. In fact, fasting is also potent against cancer, and I've seen many anecdotes of such. You're not going to appreciate any mention of anecdotes though, I presume.

> it feels like critique that "LLMs aren't intelligent because they are stochastic parrots" is an observation that they are only equipped to use their 'System 1'.

I wouldn't say LLMs aren't intelligent (at all) since they are based on prediction which I believe is the ability that we recognize as intelligence. Prediction is what our cortex has evolved to do.

Still, intelligence isn't an all or nothing ability - it exists on a spectrum (and not just an IQ score spectrum). My definition of intelligence is "degree of ability to correctly predict future outcomes based on past experience", so it depends on the mechanisms the system (biological or artificial) has available to recognize and predict patterns.

Intelligence also depends on experience, minimally to the extent that you can't recognize (and hence predict) what you don't have experience with, although our vocabulary for talking about this might be better if we distinguished predictive ability from experience rather than bundling them together as "intelligence".

If we compare the predictive machinery of LLMs vs our brain, there is obviously quite a lot missing. Certainly "thinking before speaking" (vs LLM fixed # steps) is part of that, and this Q* approach and tree-of-thoughts will help towards that. Maybe some other missing pieces such as thalamo-cortical loop (iteration) can be retrofitted to LLM/transformer approach too, but I think the critical piece missing for human-level capability is online learning - the ability to act then see the results of your action and learn from that.

We can build a "book smart" AGI (you can't learn what you haven't been exposed to, so maybe unfair to withhold the label "AGI" just because of that) based on current approach, but the only way to learn a skill is by practicing it and experimenting. You can't learn to be a developer, or anything else, just by reading a book or analyzing what other people have produced - you need to understand the real world results of your own predictions/actions, and learn from that.

Sure, here's what I found:

*Physical Size of the Internet (1995-2000)*:
- In 1995, the Internet had a worldwide user base of less than 40 million⁸.
- By 2000, there were 361 million users worldwide⁸.
- In terms of websites, there were 9,950,491 websites in 2000⁹.

*Internet Bandwidth (1995-2000)*:
- The average internet access speed in 1995 was 24 kbps².
- By 2000, the average internet access speed had increased to 1,116 kbps².
- In terms of telecommunications capacity, it was 2.2 optimally compressed exabytes in 2000⁶.

*Fastest Internet Links (1995-2000)*:
- In the early 1990s, the fastest available modem was capable of transferring data at a maximum speed of 14.4 kilobytes per second (kbps)³.
- By the late 1990s, broadband had emerged, offering a maximum theoretical data transfer speed of 512k per second³, which was over nine times as fast as a 56k modem.
