russia is such a deeply unserious country

I’m not trained in formal computer science, so I’m unable to evaluate the quality of this paper’s argument, but there’s a preprint out that claims to prove that current computing architectures will never be able to advance to AGI, and that rather than accelerating, improvements are only going to slow down due to the exponential increase in resources necessary for any incremental advancements (because it’s an NP-hard problem). That doesn’t prove LLMs are end of the line, but it does suggest that additional improvements are likely to be marginal.

Reclaiming AI as a theoretical tool for cognitive science

The one colleague using AI at my company produced (CUDA) code with lots of memory leaks that required two expert developers to fix. LLMs produce code based on vibes instead of following language syntax and proper coding practices. Maybe that would be ok in a more forgiving high level language, but I don’t trust them at all for low level languages.

Sigh, another major thinker who totally misunderstands LLMs and their capabilities. The fact that he cites Musk as a credible source on “AI” says it all.

The 1950s called, they want their cultural milieu back

The wealthy passengers shouldn’t have depended on the crew to rescue them; that’s socialism. They should just pull themselves out of the water by their bootstraps.

Who’s said bye to DVDs?

Because it reports sources known to be unreliable (like Jerusalem Post and EuroNews) as Highly Trustworthy

I’m scared

Are you implying that Christians are responsible for the preservation of the book they culturally appropriated?

I feel like it’s an underappreciated point that Christians have never followed Jesus; they follow Paul. “Christian” has always been a marketing term for an imperialist, non-Jewish (and in fact, anti-Jewish) religion that took over the momentum of a small Jewish sect that died out once it became clear Jesus wasn’t coming back.

Christianity doesn’t follow Jesus; it follows Paul. The “Christ” part is marketing.

As an American I’m newly flabbergasted by this every damn day

They probably did think of it but then rejected it when they found out how progressive Jesus is

Fuck israel

without compromising on visual fidelity

But it does compromise. Netflix has the worst banding issues in low-light scenes of any of the streaming services I’ve tried. It’s hard not to notice and it’s very annoying.

For me, I can take chips on an empty stomach all right around breakfast time (not that I would generally want to). Later in the day, if I don’t eat protein or fat before eating the chips, I’ll get a headache and joint pain. In the evening, I’ll often get pain regardless of what I eat.

And they give you a headache if you eat them at the wrong time

First useful thing Elon ever did

Good thing Ukraine isn’t their home turf
