Actually most of the LLMs algos are less efficient than the readable human one, even with only two nested loops. Only one of them precalculates the factors which makes the biggest difference (there are log2(N) factors, worst case, for large N and a triple loop over those is better than a double loop over 1..N).

> European history is of course very strongly predominantly white

"White" ?

In the context of the thinking in Europe at the time of Verne .. what is "white"?

eg: The Races of Europe: A Sociological Study (1899) - Ripley

Ripley classified Europeans into three distinct races: Teutonic [..] Mediterranean [..] Alpine [..]

Ripley's tripartite system of race put him at odds both with others on the topic of human difference, including those who insisted that there was only one European race, and those who insisted that there were at least ten European races (such as Joseph Deniker, whom Ripley saw as his chief rival).

Building an app with ChatGPT can be faster than searching for existing solutions
I yesterday needed a browser-based audio recorder with instant transcription locally without any data leaving the client.

After 5 minutes of googling I decided to try generating a web app using ChatGPT instead and host it for myself on github pages.

Within a few iterations refining the requirements, I had a working single html file with only a few 100 lines of js code that met all my requirements and was easy to further improve.

As a bonus I learned a bit about javascript and some new browser APIs like the Web Speech API for transcription.
I think folks may have different interpretations of accountability.

If your algorithm kills someone, is the accountability an improvement to the algorithm? A fine and no change to the algorithm? Imprisonment for related humans? Dissolution of some legal entity?

The KeePass ecosystem has gotten a little bit better. It's still not exactly seamless. File sync across all of Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android seems to involve either proprietary user-hostile sync tools or dealing with lots of jank.

First: we don't have it anymore, and it's extremely unlikely that a pretty advanced extra sense just pops up in random people. Second: the Earth's magnetic field is quite static, while radio waves (the supposed contamination source) with some strength ranges from 100kHz to 5GHz. Third: the Earth's magnetic field has always been here, and there always has been EM background noise, so any recent effects must be attributed to intensity.

Thanks, dang.

I think that using a LLM as the referred telepathy device to a wolfram-alpha/mathematica like general reasoning module is the way to AGI. The reasoning modules we have today are still much to narrow because of the very broad and deep search trees exploding in complexity. There is the need for a kind of pathfinder which could come from common knowledge already encoded in LLMs, like in o1. An system playing with real factual reasoning but exploring in directions coming from world knowledge.

What is still missing is the dialectic between possible and right, a physics engine, the motivation of analysed agents, the effects of emergent behavior and a lot of other -isms. But they may be encoded in the reasoning-explorer. And of course loops, more loops, refinement, working hypotheses and escaping cul-de-sacs.

There are people with great language skills and next to no reasoning skills. Some of them have general knowledge. If you ever talked to them, for a at least an hour freely meandering topics you will know. They seem intelligent for a couple of minutes but after a while you realise that they can refer fact, even interpret metaphors, but they will not find an elegant one, to navigate abstraction levels, even to differentiate root cause from effect or motivation and culture from cold logic. Some of them even ace IQ or can program but none did math so far. They hate, fear or despise rational results violation their learned rules. Sorry, chances are if you hate reading this, maybe you are one (or my English is annoyingly bad).

The government doesn't need more dragnet surveillance capabilities than it already has. Also this solution basically asks the service operator to upload illegal content to the government.

The government is also usually incompetent at running reliable services.

This is for Autopilot, which is the car following system on highways. If you are in cruise control and staying on your lane, not much is supposed to happen.

The FSD numbers are much more hidden.

The general accident rate is 1 per 400’000 miles driven.

FSD has one “critical disengagement” (aka before accident if human or safety braking doesn’t intervene) every 33 miles driven.

It means to reach unsupervised with human quality they would need to improve it 10’000 times in few months. Not saying it is impossible, just highly optimistic. In 10 years we will be there, but in 2 months, sounds a bit overpromising.
Very cool wanted to build something similar myself
Why do you need to refer to Europeans as "white men" then? To me this highlights the deeper thinking, if not obsession, of the person...

It's similar to the anti-Japanese and anti-Chinese campaigns in the US in the 40s to 60s that over-stressed the "race" of those people. It's similar to the classic racism of over-stressing how Africans are black.

Well if you’re arguing that an average isn’t suitable and a median is more representative, I have good news for you - the article was actually conflating average and median:

> It’s just been revealed to me by Auto Trader that its “median new car RRP” figure for April 2024 was £41,738, rising to £42,340 in May – proving that already-high showroom prices continue to rise.

This means the model 3 is below the median new car price in the UK.

First: those effects are of high power, nearby fields. The EM contamination in our environment is very low power, mostly lower frequencies, and evenly distributed. It's hard to imagine it affecting any brain signal, since even the lowest present frequencies are three orders of magnitude faster than a neuron's polarity change.

I don't know that water absorbs normal radio frequencies. Above 1GHz or so, it starts to absorb, but the effect is heating, nothing else. Having a mobile phone next to your head increases the temperature in nearby brain tissue a little bit, so it's hard to image that the low power frequencies can do anything else but increase the temperature very, very lightly, something which the body can deal with effectively.

I don't see it.

But that is how it works, isn't it? They're saying, "we want to make the Internet available to as many people as possible." They don't want the light pollution, and they don't create the light pollution.

It's analogous to the Fox example in the article, where somebody at the top says, "we want high viewership." They don't want their employees to lie to their audience, and they don't force them to lie to their audience.

Does the Fox leadership at some point become aware that "lying to the audience" is a result of their performance goals, just like the decision makers at Starlink become aware that light pollution is a result of their goals? They very likely do. Does that make them feel accountable for the negative side effects? Probably not, because they didn't tell anyone to lie and pollute the skies, somebody else did that.

Yes sir. A friend of mine, the girlfriend passed out, being pregnant. In the moment of total stress, we called 112, and said “passed away“ instead of „passed out“. The guy on the other side “well, if she is dead, why are you calling?!” Very rude. He went on to explain, it was an error, an instead of just dispatch an ambulance, had to hear a 10 minute lesson in english (from a german) after which the ambulance was dispatched. When the ambulance finally arrived, she was “ok” so they had to pay couple of thousand Euros for a “negligent dispatch”…

i am not well versed in the math involved, but IMO if the outcome depends mostly on the differences between them numbers, as smaller-or-bigger distinction as well as their magnitudes, then exactness might not be needed. i mean, as long as the approximate "function" looks similar to the exact one, that might be good enough.

Maybe even generate a table of the approximate results and use that, in various stages? Like the way sin/cos was done 30y ago before FP coprocessors arrived

I'm also not a cross-disciplinary expert, to be clear. When I say it's hard, it's because I find it hard! My strength is in discrete maths and logic. I can deal with continuous maths because I need to keep abreast with the latest statistical machine learning developments but I don't think I would ever be able to contribute directly to say neural networks research, unless I turned it into a logic-based approach (as has been done in the past). To be perfectly honest, if deep learning didn't happen to be the dominant approach to machine learning, which forces me to pay attention to it, I doubt I would have followed my own advice and looked far beyond my narrow band of expertise.

But, that's why we're supposed to have collaborations, right? I can pair up with an expert on neural nets and we can make something new together that's more than what we can each do on our own. In the process we can learn from each other. That stuff works, I've seen that, too, in practice. I'm working with some roboticists now and I've learned a hell lot about their discipline and hopefully they're learning something about mine. I am convinced that in order to make progress in AI we need broad and wide collaborations, and not just between symbolists and connectionists, but also between computer scientists and biologists, cognitive scientists, whoever has any idea about what we're trying to achieve. After all, a computer scientist can only tell you something about the "artificial" in "artificial intelligence". We study computation, not intelligence. If we're going to create artificial intelligence we need to collaborate with someone who understands what that is.

The hard part is to kick people out of their comfort zone and to convince them that the other experts are also, well, experts, and that they have useful knowledge and skills that can improve your own results. And seen from the other side of the coin, from my point of view, it's very difficult for me, as an early career researcher, to convince anyone that I have useful knowledge and skills and something to contribute. It takes time and you have to make your name somehow otherwise nobody will want to work with you. But that's how academia works.

It's just not a great mechanism to ensure knowledge is shared and reused, unfortunately.

my first impression: dvc is made to use with git where there are arbitrary folders handled by dvc INSIDE your git repo, where oxen is an alternative for a separate data repo. also oxen has lots of integration with dataframes and tabular, ai training and infernece data that dvc is missing. on the other hand dvc has a full DAG pipeline engine integrated as well as import/ export and pluggable backends.

Anyway,

> Evaluating my skills based on how I evaluated someone else's skills when they tell me about their abilities with and without a crutch

Your argument rests on the assumption that LLMs are a "crutch", and you're going to have to prove that before the rest of your argument holds any water.

It sucks getting generalized, doesn't it? Feels ostracizing? That's the exact experience someone who productively and effectively uses LLMs will have upon encountering your premature judgement.

> You're clearly coming from an emotional place because you feel slighted.

You start off your post upset that I'm "making claims" about your skills (I used the word "maybe" intentionally, multiple times), and then turn around and make a pretty intense claim about me. I'm not "clearly" coming from an emotional place, you did not "trigger" me, I took a moment to educate you about being overly judgemental before fully understanding something, and pointed out the inherent hypocrisy.

> you might just be advertising your own limitations

But apparently my approach was ineffective, and you are still perceiving a world where people who approach their work differently than you are inferior. Your toxic attitude is unproductive, and while you're busy imagining yourself as some masterful engineer, people are out there getting massive productivity boosts with careful application of cutting-edge generative technologies. LLMs have been nothing short of transcendental to a curious but skilled mind.
