Nuclear doesn’t provide the kind of dispatchable power you need to supplement a renewable grid. Nuke plants of the type China is building can’t be spun up and down fast enough. China is currently planning to build a renewable grid backed by fossil fuels just like the US, except they’re using modern coal plants (and paying them not to generate) and we’re using gas. Ultimately it seems likely that coal will be replaced with pumped hydro and battery storage as prices drop, and the nuclear plants will have fewer and fewer profitable applications.

But there’s nothing wrong with all that. China conducted a natural experiment with multiple technologies and renewables and storage appear to have won big. The important thing is that those of us outside of China can learn the lessons without having to repeat the experiment.

Humans aren't just text interfaces though. The majority of your input is not textual but is sights, sounds, feelings, etc., that LLMs don't (yet?) have access to.

Humans receive an enormous amount of training data in forms not currently available to LLMs.

Sounds like a very interesting concept. I'd like to see someone actually test this though.

Try running this on a Windows PC with Windows Defender off & just Scarecrow running. You could use the MaleX test kit [1] or a set of malware such as the Zoo collection [2] or something more current. I'd be very interested to see how many malware executables stop half way through their installation after seeing a few bogus registry entries/background programs running. I'm not trying to imply it's worthless, but it needs some actual "real world" test results.

The problem with the Nvidia replacement goal of big tech is that they don't have an ARM-like organization to design cores for them. Big tech use their own ARM CPUs because they use stock ARM core designs and its ISA. The hardwork was already done for big tech.

Big tech must design their own GPUs. From the looks of it, it's much harder to do it on your own than license cores from ARM.

The full optical wave is contained in the dielectric conductor. This conductor needs it's minimum cross section such that the wave can propagate. If it is too small then the wave can not propagate. Also there is a maximum cross section if you want single mode operation.

You get to this result if you take the electromagntic wave equation - a partial differential equation - and solve that for your transmission line configuration.

The proper analogy in the realm of electrical waveguides is the hollow waveguide. The hollow waveguide supports TE- and TM-modes but not TEM modes just like a dielectric conductor. The size is also a function of the dielectric constant ε.

What we mostly use are TEM waveguides like microstrips or coaxial cables. The difference between electrical waveguides that supports TEM modes and waveguides that supports TE/TM modes is that the former has two independent potential planes and the latter only one. Also TEM waveguides do not have a lower cutoff frequency. A TEM wave with any frequency can propagate on any microstrip configuration.

This is not true for TE/TM waves.

What's important to understand is that for microstrips/coaxial cables the power isn't transferred in the metal but in the space (dielectric) around the metal - see Poynting vector. So what happens if you have a second conductor in that space? You get crosstalk! So TEM transmission lines do not contain the wave like hollow waveguides or optical fibers (edit: ok coaxial cables do, microstrips don't)

Now the question, how big is the microstrip? Is it just the width of the signal conductor? No, it is not.

Edit: The width of the metal lines in a chip is given by the current it must carry - current density requirement, electro-migration issues. Power lines are wide because they have to supply power to the circuit but logic traces in CMOS technology only carry negligible amount of current. In circuits like RF power amplifiers with bipolar transistors the trace width is much larger because it has to carry a much larger current. But again, microstrip lines do not have a lower cutoff frequency.
The concept of sensor data signing to authenticate videos and images captured on mobile devices is still an emerging technology, not yet widely adopted. However, as AI-generated synthetic media becomes more prevalent and potentially problematic, solutions like this may gain traction.

The key idea is to leverage the array of sensors built into modern smartphones and tablets - accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, WiFi/cellular signal data, etc. - to cryptographically sign the sensor readings along with the visual data itself at the time of capture. This extra layer of verifiable sensor data would help establish that a recording originated from a real physical device in a particular place and time, as opposed to a purely digital fabrication.

Historically, technologies like digital signatures and public key cryptography started out in niche military/government applications before becoming ubiquitous in the computer era. In a similar way, sensor-level authentication of audiovisual media could follow an adoption curve driven by the growing need to combat sophisticated AI forgeries.
> So it's an opinion from your philosophy and not a universal absolute as you presented.

Wait. If it were a universal absolute, for what reason would I present it? A universal absolute offers no remaining opportunity for me to learn, and why would I enter into a discussion that provides no learning opportunity? That would be a pointless waste of time. Whichever philosopher gave you the idea that I would waste my time like that did not think things through and has severely misguided you.

> I guess we must conclude that science is nothing. Or maybe assume there's something to it <shrug>.

Either way. As feeble humans (or LLM bots), we are not science. We can make assumptions that may or may not have any basis in reality.

2 years ago I worked in Poland, and my backbone let me down, I can’t physically work anymore, I came home (I live in Ukraine), I was left without work, I’m sitting within 4 walls without leaving my house, realizing that there is no future - news you you know, we are at war,

this is all driving me into a terrible depression, besides, I am now using an old laptop that howls in the heat, and I have to live on $150 a month, half of which is payment for housing, what can I do then? I know. I don’t have money for therapy, and they didn’t teach us to go to therapists here; you do everything yourself from birth without the help of others.

people are gloating and angry, because there is a total lack of money. What saves me? hobby!

When I found out that a refugee I know abroad started a free project - I started making templates for websites (I love HTML4 and even 3.2 that would work under DOS), and over the last 3 months I have made more than 60.

Depression is in the blood of Ukrainians, hopelessness, I've always had this. If not for this, would I go abroad to work? No! many are lucky to be born in countries where they pay for work and do not need to leave. I worked abroad for 15 years, moving home, my son hardly remembered me, I divorced my wife in my 10th year because she slept with another man.

During the coronavirus period (this was before the war), I sent all the money I had home because my mother got sick with breast cancer, all my savings went towards surgery. I no longer have close people except her. that's how we live. You're not the only one. brace yourself.

Yeah, but exporting data is only solving part of the problem. You can't export community, or reputation, or incoming links etc etc.
Maybe I am missing something, but to me this looks like "Let's brute-force on the training data".

I mean, generating tens of thousands of possible solutions, to find one that works does not, to me, signify AGI.

After all, the human solving these problem doesn't make 10k attempts before getting a solution, do they?

The approach here, due to brute force, can't really scale: if a random solution to a very simple problem has a 1/10k chance of being right, you can't scale this up to non-trivial problems without exponentially increasing the computational power used. Hence, I feel this is brute-force.
Lol, this website is registered to someone in Iceland, despite the assurance that it is a "security researcher living in the UK". I'm sure the results from this experiment will make a cool blog post about pwning tech savvy folks.
> You didn't understand the question. Everything in Python is evaluated at runtime. Bytecode is just a form of caching.

You don't understand what runtime in python is. Compilation into bytecode is an implementation detail and not part of runtime. Even when you start a python scripts from a bytecode state, there is a runtime. f-strings are evaluated at runtime. When you declare them within a function, yes they will be parsed, but they will not be run.

> This class, in principle, shouldn't be different from lambda from the previous example, yet it acts differently.

In your case, you put them in lambdas, which is equivalent to putting them into a function context. The f-string will only be evaluated when lambda/function is called. In your Elephant case the runtime happens when i=n, whereas in lambda case, the runtime is when i=9 (because there is no local copy of the variable/context). Plain and simple. If you don't understand such a simple distinction, I recommend you to start reading the bytecode as it's much clearer at that level.

> You don't need to lecture me on why things behave the way they are. Since I found these examples, you can trust me, I know why they behave like this. The idea is to drive your attention to the inconsistencies that a "naive" reader would discover.

It's not an inconsistency, if you understand the principle.

Neither do GNSS satellites. You can't solve this problem with any method without giving each device a starting reference, and then either continually updating it or enabling some mechanism for multiple devices to vote/agree on reference(T+1).

This new tech might allow other improvements, such as the QIN device being a relatively-static "hub", and the user wearing smaller, cheaper accelerometers that connect to it regularly to reset their starting positions.

I spent 45 years or so thinking people were talking metaphorically when talking about picturing things, because surely they couldn't actually see things while awake?

Ah, give it a rest. That's not "frontier AI research", neither is it any kind of reasoning. It's the dumbest of the dumb possible generate-and-test approach that spams a fire hose of Python programs until it hits one that works. And still it gets only 50% on the public eval.

How many thousands of Python programs does a human need to solve a single ARC task? That's what you get with reasoning: you don't need oodles of compute and boodles of sampling.

And I'm sorry to be so mean, but ARC is a farce. It's supposed to be a test for AGI but its only defense from a big data approach (what Francois calls "memorisation") is that there are few examples provided. That doesn't make the tasks hard to solve with memorisation it just makes it hard for a human researcher to find enough examples to solve with memorisation. Like almost every other AI-IQ test before it, ARC is testing for the wrong thing, with the wrong assumptions. See the Winograd Schema Challenge (but not yet the Bongard problems).

“The free market would fix it” quite spiritually similar to “god will provide” or “prayer solves everything.”

Maybe, maybe with an unwieldy amount of time the rubes would all die out as they administer snake oil to themselves and their families, the pyramid schemes all collapse under the weight of their inability to produce the results their funders sought, and the collective, unorganized and ungovernmented multitudes publicly shame and criticize those industry leaders who conducted research into the effects of their products, but decided instead to make some shit up to sell more.

Maybe more likely: as the divine wisdom of the heavenly free market dictates, a few really good liars get a massive foothold and build empires on it. And maybe in the truest American free market fashion, these opportunities to profit from fraud are available to everyone! Even if you’re not clever enough to build an empire, you can at least move state to state, lying, selling more slow-burn poison, all the while with the cops backing you up when the mob forms, because fraud and the affects of lying are as protected as saying something ignorant or mean.
Regarding pole shift: you maybe could have multiple static measurement stations spread around which measure the current values at known positions and synchronize the data once per day to the trains. I’m not sure how you could even determine position just from magnetic field alone, surely there are multiple positions with the same magnetic conditions?

There is a condition called aphantasia, in which people are unable to visualise things, but are perfectly capable of doing visual tasks, such as art.

The question "is this animal conscious" is quite close to a question "does this person have aphantasia", and both seem to be perfectly valid and answerable.
What is sad is that "olds" in software engineering means 10-15+ years of experience. I started in this career at 19, and around my early 30s I found myself at the apex of my experience, mental sharpness and talent, while pretty much any company finds me too experienced, too expensive and perhaps too hard to train and mould into shape.

Those don't seem to be names of parameters, but rather of types. It's missing parameter names entirely.

I spent a good 2 minutes looking at that signature trying to figure it out (and I've read some Haskell tutorials so I'm at least familiar with the syntax). This would've helped:

def split_by<T>(separator: T, list: List[T]) -> List[List[T]]

`sep`, `separator`, `delim`, `delimiter` would've been good names.

I was recently researching structured output generation for my project and I enjoyed using Outlines library a lot. It felt quite fast as it uses FSM and indexing. There are few fine prints though:

1. Sometimes constraints can decrease the quality of the output since syntax of the response is prioritized more than quality of the response
2. For memory constrained inferences, certain sampling strategies like top-k can cause OOM errors if the max_token is too high. I haven't tested that it is entirely due to structured generation but I suppose it is possible for certain regexes.
3. Vision models and other multi-modal models are not supported yet.

Apart from this, closed models also have json output but I am not sure how consistent they are

Author of scarecrow here. Sweet idea, thankyou for sharing. What i would really like to do, is have some sort of stats in the app, that shows if it has 'scared' away any malware. But im not sure how to do that, and work out what other processes on the machine have exited because it saw some cyber scarecrow indicators in the systems process listing.
Of course we are not separate species since successful interbreeding did happen (when the populations interacted).
For me, the most important part is -fno-math-errno which allows the compiler to ignore that libm functions are allowed to set errno. This is perfectly safe (unless you rely on that rarely known side effect) and is usually the one flag I explicitly set.
The paradox is that the amount of data available for LLM training is going down, not up, because earlier models made ample use of copyrighted works that later models won't have access to.
