you mean like how when gpt figured out how to start the oven?
tangenially it would be interesting to analyze what infinite structures can be represented with infinite EML trees

this should be a tangential proof for the dying bunch of people who still believe that LLMs are just parrots. EML are literally a new invention

as long as it's new I tremendously enjoy binge watching Claude: I have three tabs open and if one of them is not doing something interesting I just switch to a different channel, and occasionally influenced the narrative

Re:Experts Have World Models. LLMs Have Word Models on Monday February 09, 2026 @02:36AM (#46942599)
The article basically claims that LLMs are bad at politics and poker which is both not true (at least if they receive some level of reinforcement learning after sweep training)
Re:Experts Have World Models. LLMs Have Word Models on Monday February 09, 2026 @02:27AM (#46942539)
you are living in the past these models have been trained on image data for ages, and one interesting find was that even before that they could model aspects of the visual world astonishingly well even though not perfect just through language.
Re:Experts Have World Models. LLMs Have Word Models on Monday February 09, 2026 @02:25AM (#46942519)
they do model the world. Watch Noble price winner Hinton or let's admit that this is more of a religious question then the technical.
Re:Experts Have World Models. LLMs Have Word Models on Monday February 09, 2026 @02:23AM (#46942502)
you are correct the token representation gets abstracted away very quickly and is then identical for textual or image models. It's the so-called latent space and people who focus on next token prediction completely missed the point that all the interesting thinking takes place in abstract world model space.
someone might build enough hype around it to challenge the oligopoly.

As for training on existing browsers: they are trained on the whole corpus of the human thought process and can take many insights from other fields into the browser, they can write a browser in a completely new language without just transpiring but building it from first principles or as karparthy calls it spec based programming.

rust compiler and redox operating system with modified Qemu for Mac Vulcan metal pipeline ... probably not junior stuff

you might think I'm kidding but Search redox on github, you will find that project and the anonymous contributions

Re:Clawdbot - open source personal AI assistant on Monday January 26, 2026 @02:20AM (#46762760)
this is the whole message of this hype that you can churn out 500 commits a day relatively confidently the way you have clang churn out 500 assemblies without reading them. We might not be 100% there but the hype is looking slightly into the future and even though I don't see the difference to Claude code, I tend to agree that this is the new way to do things even if something breaks on average it's safe enough

what still doesn't click for me is what can it do that Claude can't do
Re:Clawdbot - open source personal AI assistant on Monday January 26, 2026 @02:14AM (#46762720)
these verbs seem appropriate when you accept neutral (MLP) activation as excitement and DL/RL as decision processes (MDPs...)

Re:Apple picks Google's Gemini to power Siri on Tuesday January 13, 2026 @02:16AM (#46598132)
it's not going to help them. For Siri to be really useful it wouldn't need deep system integration and an external model is not going to provide that. People don't believe me when I said it about Apple Intelligence with open AI

i'm a real developer and it is absolutely magic! if someone showed me a demo of talking to a computer which works for one hour to find and fix my bugs all on its own five years ago I'd definitely call it magic and I still call it magic.

does it make a mistakes? yes sometimes but you can verify with tests or with lean.

Re:Nvidia adds native Python support to CUDA on Friday April 04, 2025 @11:27AM (#43583821)
thank God, Pytorch gained so much momentum before this came out, Now we have a true platform independent semi standard For parallel computations. We are not stuck with NVIDIA specifics.

It's great that parts of pie torch which concern the NVIDIA backend can now be implemented in Python directly, The important part that it doesn't really matter or shouldn't matter for end users / Developers

that being said, maybe this new platform will extend the whole concept of on GPU computation via Python to even more domains like maybe games.

Imagine running rust the Game performantly mainly on the GPU via Python
