- Pros always use silencers - but amateurs instigated/inspired by security services/spies, are meant to be caught and will confess
- The discussion here is so misdirected - It's not the device that's addictive or destructive, it's the exposure of young developing minds to endless, pointless advertising/sponsorship.
Ban advertising to children & youth and the device itself will be harmless
- Constrained programming makes CS algos problems , ie Leetcode, look like child's play...Kind like how martial arts gurus often get beaten up in street fights.
- The field Qp of p-adic numbers is complete with respect to the p-adic norm, but is not ordered in the same sense as field of real numbers. It's still uncountable infinite. If there is a sense in which "gaps" or Holes can be introduced without breaking its completeness, that would make it very useful for modeling reality
- One, in theory, can construct number sets (fields) with holes in them - that's truly discrete numbers. such number sets are at most countably infinite, but need not be. One useful such set might have Planck's (length) constant as its smallest number beyond which there is a hole. The problem with using such number sets is that ordinary rules of arithmetic breakdown, ie division has to be defined as modulus Planck constant
- Neither does David Deutsch himself, he stopped making sense sometime in the late 80's
- Russia is as European as France and certainly more European than the US or Canada. Most of Europe's problems stem from trying to keep Russia out and Germany down.
The latter has worked well because Germany is, to this day, occupied by the US & the UK. But the former has never worked out and is now bankrupting the EU!
- There has never been more diversity - intellectual or otherwise, than now.
Just a few decades ago, all news, political/cultural/intellectual discourse, even entertainment had to pass through handful of english-only channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, WSJ, BBC, & FT) before public consumption. Bookstores, libraries and universities had complete monopoly on publications, dissemination and critique of thoughts.
LLMs are great liberator of cumulative human knowledge and there is no going back. Their ownership and control is, of course, still very problematic
- Chomsky and Pinker (I don't Fodor), are entertainers and their theories are good only for PhD pumpers. How human brain works and the associated neuroscience has absolutely nothing to do with LLMs which simply are empirically defined function approximations.
The problem with Sam Altman is that he is a shyster and leech feeding off the hard work of thousands of programmers and engineers.
- All great industrial apps are DSLs for specific domains, because often time end users are much smarter & craftier than developers. Some great examples: - AutoCad (vector drawing DSL on top of Lisp) - Mathematica (symbolic algebra DSL - Lisp & C) - Aspen One (Thermodynamics/Chemistry DSL on FORTRAN) - COMSOL (Multiphysics DSL C++) - Verilog (FPGA design DSL C) and also general purpose tools like Regex, XLA, CERN/Root, SQL, HTML/CSS,...
- It'd be nice to incorporate links to Demos-3D to supplement visualizations of complex number algebra and 3D vector/matrix ops: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfM6zMGnbgOHoJFFgqQ4O...
- Biology, chemical biology and parts of non-traditional chemistry, are some of the most political and elitist fields outside of social sciences. How and what is taught is not necessarily science based only, let alone, who gets in the PhD programs in the first place.
Organismic and Evolutionary Biologists, like Robert Sapolsky, are right in the middle of culture wars, and always on the same side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WwAQqWUkpI&t=4827s
- Actually by 75% in most of its grad schools. Private elite Universities are merely a front for channeling public funds to manufacture and graduate "experts" to staff elite NGOs, the Administrative State, Think Tanks and elite Consulting firms.
- The loan amount is small & revolving to be too risky for a bank the size of JPM, but undue optimism about OpenAI also isn't justified.
Google, Amazon, Apple, MSFT, Meta & Nvidia didn't face "China risk", but AI firms do. As Tik Tok saga has proven, the days of running large losses for years, to recover it all back in IPO, and monopolize thereafter, may be over.
China might win the AI race and force the hand of USG for yet another national security imperative, to expropriate foreign assets.
- Is there GPU assembly (PTX) version available anywhere?
- This is a ruse and a manufactured 'much to do about nothing"... the real source of power in America is the CIA & associated Think Tanks and Wall Street law firms - not the Pentagon, especially as far as domestic policy is concerned.
Pentagon and the Media are owned and controlled by the same military-industrial complex and always agree to disagree with each other in public.
- In all likelihood, LLMs will converge towards few hardware efficient PLs and will ignore all others.
Debugging a program will become like debugging your relationships - you argue until one side gives up or both are exhausted!
My money is on Jared Kushner, as the front runner. He has access via Trump, connected to Russian jew mafia via his dad, & trusted by Mossad.
