  1. Not just that we know from heavy reddit posters that they have branching universe templates for all eventualities, so that they are "ready" whatever the outcome.
  2. You are a digital hoarder. I have taken so many pics that I wouldn't even bother to look back that them (do we ever?) but Google memories is really a neat feature, it refreshes memories. I think you should run a similar service to refresh memory of your favourite videos like they are on speed dail.
  3. Old story : killing the goose who lays golden eggs. We humans never learn, don't we?
  4. Learning Algorithm Of Biological Networks

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-OLgbdZ3kk

    In this video we explore Predictive Coding – a biologically plausible alternative to the backpropagation algorithm, deriving it from first principles.

    Predictive coding and Hebbian learning are interconnected learning mechanisms where Hebbian learning rules are used to implement the brain's predictive coding framework. Predictive coding models the brain as a hierarchical system that minimizes prediction errors by sending top-down predictions and bottom-up error signals, while Hebbian learning, often simplified as "neurons that fire together, wire together," provides a biologically plausible way to update the network's weights to improve predictions over time.

  5. Here's my prediction : The rapid progress of AI will make money as an accounting practice irrelevant. Take the concept of "Future is already here but unevenly distributed." When we will have true abundance, what the elites will target is the convex hull of progress, they want to be in control of leading edge / leading wavefront and its direction and who has access to resources and decision making. In such a scenario of abundance, populace will have access to iPhone 50 but the Elites will have access to iPhone 500. i.e. uneven distribution. Elites would like to directly control which resource gets allocated to which projects. Elon is already doing that with his immense clout. This implies we would have a sort of multidimensional resource based economy.
  6. Intelligence and human health can't be defined neatly. They are what we call suitcase words. If there exists a physiological tradeoff between medical research about whether to live till 500 years or to be able to lift 1000kg when a person is in youth, those are different dimensions / directions across we can make progress. Same happens for intelligence. I think we are on right track.
  7. Because when the recipe is open and public, the product's success depends on Distribution (which has been cornered by MS, Google, Apple). This is good for the ecosystem but not sure how those particular VCs will get exits.
  8. Governments should set aside some pool of money for distributing to people maintaining critical projects. We have so much surplus and some portion of it should be allocated to such projects as digital infrastructure. Google did that with Summer of Code. Shareholder value can go and take a jump into a nearest lake.
  9. I think there was an article on English stackexchange where linguists proved that the word "the" is a useless word. It's a filler word like umm, etc.
  10. Can Apple lock-in those people who definitely want small phones by some prepaid arrangements which the users can't back out? That would be market working. Is there a reason why they don't do this?
  11. Zuck and Meta are playing the role of Robinhood. They take the money from scammers and advance their philanthrophy.

    Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg on Curing All Disease

    We sat down with Dr. Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, co-founders of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, to discuss their ambitious plan to cure, prevent, and manage all disease by the end of the century.

  12. There is context caching in many models. It is less expensive if you enable that.

    This is a use of Rerun that I haven't seen before!

    This is pretty fascinating!!!

    Typically people use Rerun to visualize robotics data - if I'm following along correctly... what's fascinating here is that Adam for his master's thesis is using Rerun to visualize Agent (like ... software / LLM Agent) state.

    Interesting use of Rerun!

  14. If "not even wrong" is more wrong than wrong, then is 'not even right" more right than right.

    To answer you directly, a smaller SOTA reasoning model with a table of facts can rederive relationships given more time than a bigger model which encoded those relationships implicitly.

  15. In CS algorithms, we have space vs time tradeoffs.

    In LLMs, we will have bigger weights vs test-time compute tradeoffs. A smaller model can get "there" but it will take longer.

  16. Then its utility as a best search agent is even more. It proves the statement, LLM will find the needle in the haystack if the needle exists.
  17. Neil deGrasse Tyson said a quote expressing a concern about the future impact of AI on information credibility.

    The exact quote is: "I foresee the day where AI become so good at making a deep fake that the people who believed fake news as true will no longer think their fake news is true because they'll think their fake news was faked by AI."

  18. We need PageRank like algorithm for "Trust / Human Content" to be applied directly to the source of such content. E.g. following all three channels are AI made. But all these content can be liked to an advanced AI version of audio based videos of Wikiarticles. If a video is providing just a summary based on established historical facts, even though it is AI based, how is it different than refering a thesaurus or dictionary? Aren't such videos making "knowledge" accessible.
