I'm sorry but didn't we already establish that most of his famous books are the edited contents of his recordings with some of those audios available to download as well? Does a person have …

Many people write books on interesting subjects posthumously (biographies come to mind). I believe it would be up to the descendants of Feynman to sue if due legal etiquettes were not maintained. Havi…

Without having watched the videos, to say that people made content using his name and made money off of it without Feynman knowing is disingenuous. Ralph Leighton recorded the conversations as Feynman…

I had a question related to diplomacy and border-protection. If say this plan goes through and say US reports a citizen from China to El Salvador for whatever reasons. What diplomatic consequences wou…

I have always believed that the role of a bureaucracy is to make changes slow. In the far extreme, it leads to red-taping, corruption, and obscurity and presumably that's why one's first res…

I remember the adage of the google of the yore, "don't be evil". It would be exciting to see what the community at large thinks on whether google upheld said principle and consequently,…

The answer is Perpetuation. Only those "structures" that learn to perpetuate can exist for a significant timeframe given the intrinsic randomness and the vast scale of universe. Be it a cell…

While I do consider Chatbots to be the low-hanging fruit of LLM research, I think the hype is partially justified by the fact that they weren't this good even 2-3 years ago. If you are willing to…

I bought a used Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone and it's astonishing how future proof it was to begin with. Even now, the phone barely stutters, the battery life holds, the camera is surprisingly …

So basically a before:2023 filter?

They say its different than neural networks in the text but honestly, it just sounds a lot like monte carlo dropouts.

Are you suggesting that two people in a shared inertial space when venture into other intertial frames but ultimately end up in a same frame later will agree on how much time has passed in between? Be…

I don't think the recent H1B debacle spread outside the boundary of tech very much simply because a) There is now an increasing abundance of domestic tech workers, and b) The layoffs haven't…

Cool game. You should do a wordle like version with daily puzzles.

I'd love to read a semi-technical book on everything that we've learned about what works and what does not on LLMs.

Futures are a financial instrument that are much more volatile than Stocks (or even Options).

We already have a device for artificial reasoning, it's called Prolog.

Looks like a job for LLMs?

The difference you are pointing to is the acausal vs causal description. In Simulink (Causal), you have to describe what causes any changes in the system. For example, to model Ohm's law, you…

Obligatory mention to Openmodelica[1] which is an open source implementation based on the Modelica language. While I haven't used it yet, I was planning on exploring some of the features this hol…

I'd argue for the converse: Computer Science is Mathematics

Ahh, so maybe we should first focus on formalizing Lean itself?

I'll say this again, any sufficiently advanced LLM is indistinguishable from Prolog.

I should think so. I forget the source but I seem to have once heard (to my satisfaction) that all global diplomatic maneuvers can essentially be explained in terms of kids playing in a playground.

Well, strictly speaking, it is suitable for places where all actors make choices in ways we can predict. So even if an actor was choosing, say, uniformly at random (and we knew this fact), we'd b…

> Photographs of the night sky are compatible with all theories of the solar system in human history (including, eg., stars are angels). There is no summary of these photographs which gives informa…

KANs have learnable activations based on splines parameterized on few variables. You can specify a prior over those variables, effectively establishing a prior over your activation function.
