Individual particle interactions are not chaotic. Simulating them one timestep at a time would take linear time in the number of particles.
They're only chaotic if you treat them in aggregate, which a superintelligence wouldn't do. It would be less lossy to get all the positions of the particles and figure out exactly what each one would do.
Something has to compute the universe, since it is currently running...
Not necessarily. There have been a number of papers trying to emphasize the generalization power of a network rather than "it got a SOTA number", and so leave off fine tuning results. Because that would distract from the point of the paper.
Do you really think most smartphone users look at the URL anymore? Or even know what a URL is?
From the non-technical people I've talked to, the answer is no, they don't know what a URL is, and that was happening before AMP came around.
Ah our favorite third world countries, like China, Japan, and Israel.
What's the point of this comment? Isn't this pretty much exactly what's in the answer linked?
Great visualization, thanks!
This article comes at the perfect time for me, while I'm about to choose a tool to read Japanese sentences!
That's great! It feels so good to be doing something you want to do.
Pretty much all of the relationship to practical stuff in papers like this related to the RH are "it gives us information about the prime numbers, and those are used in cryptography".
It's really just about getting people to perk their ears up rather than true implications about crypto.
I checked that and the only one that had email access was my Windows desktop. This led me to assume my PC had a virus, until I saw this thread.
Hence the "pretty much". Clearly Japan has numerous numerous social issues, but other than that they're doing much better than we are over there.
Everything in America should emulate Japan, pretty much.
So genetic programming, but for NN's? Hasn't that been done?
This is why whenever I see news like this, I get nervous.
Quick question: Why? What does NVIDIA have to gain by forbidding people from using GeForce for ML in datacenters?
Agreed. Plus, its really annoying to open it on mobile and my phone starts downloading the pdf file immediately, which I don't want to have to manually delete in the future.
Classic Microsoft. See the Windows Phone as well.
Can you elaborate? How do you know they're thinking abstractly?
A related idea that I had while reading the article is this: it's easy to get computers and machines to talk to each other both unnaturally (with our own protocols) and naturally (using a randomly initialized and then learned/iterated upon version - see
https://blog.openai.com/learning-to-communicate/ or Facebook's recent experiment. It's also easy to imagine such a scenario).
But computers are nowhere near being able to have conscious thought. So what's the difference? Clearly it's not just natural language that differentiates the conscious from the unconscious.
Japan was beautiful; visually, culturally, and culinarily. I'd highly recommend it.
I just started taking Japanese classes yesterday and I can't wait to go back next year.
Then again drinking while eating is also impolite.
That's so contrived, and they got it so quickly. And they got #40 even quicker.
Thanks 4chan. It was a lot of fun watching that thread honestly. The collaborative effort was great.
"Natural" is defined as: existing in or caused by nature; not made or caused by humankind.
So by definition, there are things that are natural, such as other galaxies, and all things a million years ago.
Knowing software developers, probably entirely serious.
God, living in China sounds like absolute hell.
