Ahh, yes, they're so "easy to find" that they don't come up when I look for them and you can't even produce a link to one in spite of your continued insistence that they exist. Cool beans.

The problem with this analogy is that we know what birds are and what they're constituted by. But we don't know what thinking is or what it is constituted by. If we wanted to learn about birds by examining airplanes, we would be barking up the wrong tree. On the other hand, if we wanted to learn about flight, we might reasonably look at airplanes and birds, then determine what the commonality is between their mechanisms of defying gravity. It would be a mistake to say "planes aren't flapping their wings, therefore they aren't flying". But that's exactly what people do when they dismiss LLMs being presently or in the future capable of thinking because they are made up of statistics, matrix multiplication, etc.

Gopher was built for a pre-HAL world, where you couldn't just assume that every user had a graphics card that your software supported - hell, a lot of them might not have graphics at all. In that environment, lack of embedded multimedia was a selling point due to interoperability. If you had a computer and a phone line, you could access Gopher's primeval web. Graphics and sound be damned.

For what it's worth, I have a copy of Netscape on a CD-ROM that came with a copy of PC/Computing sometime around 1994-1995. For those magazine subscribers, it was "free" if you squint a little.

Simplicity is hard. And difficulty is what almost everyone using LLMs is trying to avoid. More code breed complexity.

I read somewhere that 1/6 of the time should be allocated to refactoring (every 6th cycle). I wonder how that should be done with LLMs.

> OpenMP is one of the easiest ways to make existing code run across CPU cores.

True (or with Intel TBB), however as someone with a lot of experience optimising HPC algorithms for rendering, geometry processing and simulation, there are caveats, and quite often you can get situations where the existing code that is parallelised this way more naively can spend disproportionate amounts of CPU usage on spinlocks in OpenMP or TBB instead of doing useful work. (I've also noticed the same thing happening with Rayon in Rust).

Sometimes I've looked at code other colleagues have "parallelised" this way, and they've said "yes, it's using multiple threads", but when you profile it with perf or vtune, it's clearly not really doing that much *useful* parallel work, and sometimes it's even slower than single-threaded from a wall-clock standpoint, and people just didn't check if it was faster, they just looked at the CPU usage, and didn't notice the spinlocks.
There’s only so much you can do when you train on the data instead of the processes that created that data.

Highways is this weird thing where building the L2/L3 capability is comparatively easy (Which is why Tesla autopilot has been halfway decent for a long time now, and BMW have a true L3 system in restricted areas where you can take eyes off the road), but L4 is really hard because a true L4 system has to always be safe even if the driver doesn't take over. You could be tens of miles between highway exits, and just stopping on a highway isn't exactly safe by default. An L4 system therefore needs to handle anything between its current position and the next exit which massively ramps up the number of possible situations it needs to be able to handle compared to the L2/L3 equivalent.

L4 in an urban environment is weirdly feasible by comparison, even though we still don't have examples of extremely good L2/L3 systems yet (there's far more complexity by default compared to highways: lights, pedestrians, complex lane decisions, more visual noise, higher average relative speeds) we already have these L4 Taxis being rolled out. The reason is that if a driver doesn't take over it's much easier to find a "safe" place to stop. Apart from getting stuck in the middle of a junction, you can feasibly park up anywhere that has speeds <=40mph.

The author explains what they did: restrict the move options to valid ones when possible (for open models with the ability to enforce grammar during inference) or sample the model for a valid move up to ten times, then pick a random valid move.
No, it's not. He was assuming that saddle wasn't a good fit for the author, when there's no evidence of that at all. In fact, he was assuming that it was a bad saddle purely because it's a narrow road bike saddle and not some wide, cushioned saddle you find on $100 bikes at Walmart. In short, the OP knows absolutely nothing about bike saddles or how they relate to human anatomy, and shouldn't give out advice about them.

Glib but the reality is that there are lots of cases where you can use an AI in writing but don’t need to entrust it with the whole job blindly.

I mostly use AIs in writing as a glorified grammar checker that sometimes suggests alternate phrasing. I do the initial writing and send it to an AI for review. If I like the suggestions I may incorporate some. Others I ignore.

The only times I use it to write is when I have something like a status report and I’m having a hard time phrasing things. Then I may write a series of bullet points and send that through an AI to flesh it out. Again, that is just the first stage and I take that and do editing to get what I want.

It’s just a tool, not a creator.

When you say "substantially shaped by genetic factors", you should present evidence. It's easy to provide evidence for the heritability of intelligence (again, stipulating IQ), but as we've established, that begs the question of whether the genetic connection is correlation or causation. Environments are inherited, too.

There is growing evidence that group IQ heritability isn't evidence of genetic causation.

Perception is the representation of raw inputs into a form useful for further processing, but it is not a feed-forward computation. You repeatedly re-represent what you see as you keep looking. Particularly something like an ARC puzzle where you have to find a representation that reveals the pattern. That's what my ARC solver is about (I did not finish it for the deadline).

> A very interesting corollary is that the first AGIs might be way better thinkers than humans by default

I agree at least this far. Human System 2 cognition has some very severe limitations (especially working memory, speed, and error rate) which an AGI probably would not have. Beyond fixing those limitations, I agree with François that we shouldn't assume there aren't diminishing intelligence returns to better mental architectures.

Better references would be very welcome. By the way, we can see this even today. For example, first type the following command in your terminal:

ex

Then at the ex prompt (the colon prompt), type this:

vi

This should bring up full blown Vim. The reverse is possible too. For example, in Vim, type:

Q

This takes us to Ex mode. Then in Ex mode type:

vi

This brings back Vim again.

>Getting there via "attrition" is preferable to getting there via apocalyptic wars, famines, genocides, and diseases.

How do you think wars are going to be avoided when there's a demographic collapse? With so many old people and so few young people to support them, something's going to break. People don't normally just put up with failed economies; wars are a frequent result. Famine is also a strong possibility: the elderly people probably aren't going to be doing all the farming, but they still need to eat.

People who talk about population reduction as a good thing always seem to assume that the demographics will be similar to today, with plenty of young people to balance the old people, and that's absolutely not what's in store.

It's exactly the same when solving Rubik's Cubes.

At the start it's all about carrying around notes full of picking the relevant condition depending on the current permutation/state of the cube then following the step by step algorithms on which sequence of steps to perform for that condition.

Then you'll naturally realise that certain conditions happen a lot more than others and you'll start to remember the sequence of letters for each series of steps to perform.

Over time you'll forget the letters and your fingers will just know the sequence to perform when you perceive that condition, kind of like typing a password without thinking about it.

Eventually you'll be able to fit each condition and algorithm into your muscle memory and completely forget the series of letters that you used to memorise.

Now I can barely explain how to solve a rubik's cube in-person. I just do it.

Absolutely. The GroupBox is an essential UI decoration that I create manually now that it's not available in toolkits. I put a checkbox on the outline with a label too, when the entire group of controls is related to a function that can be turned on & off... as used to be standard in many UIs, and very clear.

A related missing-but-important one is a proper TabView. I don't know who first passed off a row of plain buttons as a TabView (probably Apple), but it's trash because (like the lack of GroupBox) it does not demarcate what controls below it are ON the selected tab's view! I mean... duh.

Not identical code. Similar code.

I think you're really stretching the domain of plausibility to suggest that any code you write is novel enough that you can't find 'similar' code on the internet.

To suggest that code generated from a corpus that is not going to be 'similar' to the code from the corpus is just factually and unambiguously false.

Of course, it depends on what you interpret 'similar' to mean; but I think it's not unfair to say a lot of code is composed of smaller parts of code that is extremely similar to other examples of code on the internet.

Obviously you're not going to find an example similar to your entire code base; but if you're using, for example, copilot where you generate many small snippets of code... welll....
