This reminds me of the (perhaps unrelated meme) hello I would like (graph of zeta function) number of apples. Statements dreamt up by the utterly deranged.

Indeed I have met professors who claim since something is O(1) it doesn't matter if you run it 4 times. No need to optimize. I think it's just part of the wider divide between theory and application. For instance big O also requires a register machine to make sense, which most courses don't define. Somehow addition and multiplication are O(1) in some places and O(n) or O(n^2) somewhere else. Also quite common is the fact that sets are slower than lists for lookup for small n, despite being O(1).

It's just a tool and we shouldn't miss the trees for the forest. I also understand this comment has nothing to do with the ETH or the article, but just some thoughts I have after reading the first chunk on complexity

Does this actually work. There's no way to say apple with your mouth closed. At least it doesn't feel correct. Feels like what comes out is closer to "Ethan"

I don't understand this ontology thing. What's the difference between this and a memory system plus skills to collect your enterprise's APIs and CLIs etc?

What's most fascinating about that wiki page is that claim that mass coordinated shut offs of lights etc can cause more co2 to be released.

Reminds me of computer fans, some bioses seem to do that ramp up for no reason thing as well.

What if those people with unstable currencies just used a stable currency? Like certain countries just use physical USD.

Banks probably use Oracle or Sun lol. Postgres would be too modern and normal.

Unfortunately I think the sweet spot is to say it once or twice, go away, and then come back later with "I told you so"

No pain no gain also goes the other way, many times people don't learn until they get slapped in the face.

But the original claim was tea was in its weights. So more like 9 out of 10 times it will still say tea and get stuck.

I thought the over tourism is because it was rated as the most beautiful town in the world or something

Is that for a certain order size? Because a lot of the cost can come simply from retooling or swapping components. Like if you have 100 x1 smt components vs 1x 100 smt components it's a huge different if you get what I mean. Also anything through hole I basically just give up getting assembled as a hobbyist.

Meh it doesn't know what's "easy to understand" because it's trained on the average of the whole internet and it's mostly junk out there. Sadly the amount of junk obviously vastly outweighs the actual good writers so as long as you're just feeding it like this nothing will change. RLHF also just biases towards the average/mediocre because it's again the average of all user choices. If you want a PhD level chatbot you might need to enslave a couple hundred PhDs and milk them for a few years first. But under duress they will not perform optimally either.

How does that solve most of the problems they raised

If that isn't absurd, then I don't know what is.

It makes sense in the framework but the framework makes no sense. The model contradicts regular intuition.

That case was dismissed multiple times by different courts, so it's completely bogus and we're safe.

JavaScript can root you? That's way bigger of a problem than telemetry. Do you have a source? How does that even work?

How does Claude attempt the task by itself? Someone has to write the first prompt.

Absurd. Deepseek is open source. You can just self host it.

Of course it matters. Suppose because tech pays better the figure in tech is more like 0.7%. The rest is shut concentrated in rural regions and other industries. Then your point would be moot wouldn't it.

Check out some of the plots here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity

Though many events are cherry picked, the trend is still quite a nice fit it seems. I would say exponential growth is rather plausible.

In fact it doesn't even need to take aliens to change our timeline. In Cosmos by Carl Sagan he often talks about so and so Greek guy that was basically correct but dismissed. They had some inkling of the experimental method but didn't pursue it. They knew about the motive powers of steam. They just didn't think much more of it I guess.

I would imagine lasers are different because they're a coherent beam.

Does it actually help? What about just drawing censored versions or those covered up with a leaf kind? I'm not trying to be difficult but just curious how the whole thing works. Like I don't think drawing clothed models just makes you not understand human anatomy. Also totally understand if it's just some tradition thing people so or whatever.

Or when they get lazy and decide to grep the whole system instead of actually thinking about where things should be at…

It's so crude that it might not even be the way neurons work. Like just a programmed activation function? Who programs it? We inherit the weights some how? Are they compressed in DNA? Doesn't seem likely because we share 90% with fruit flies etc. So not much space is left to store weights. I don't think it's the weights doing the work in biological neurons, but the architecture. Every cell might be doing the same thing but it's how you use them that counts. Maybe a biologist can comment on this.

But why? HBM is not reusable by consumers, and we would probably be at ddr6 by the time used ddr5 comes crashing down.

What? At night I definitely see a lack of sun. He's exactly asking for statistics.

Just gotta hope that based on how economic theory is supposed to work, if doing these things result in saving costs during procurement of specialized equipment, the savings are passed on to the consumer… hopefully…

That's a loaded question. How about just saying it for what it is. Are you willing to spend 9 hours today (not counting the other interviews you have to do for other companies) for a X% probability of getting a job at company A which you like Y amount.

If X and Y are large enough sure. Most of the time X is hidden and Y is hard to gauge.

This is the same argument that says YouTube can play 3 unskippable ads, TVs can scan and collect data on all devices in your LAN, because they're a private company and can do what they want, and if you don't like it, just don't buy it. Well in that case, I can also smoke in front of kids, because I am a free agent and there's no laws saying I can't.
