I loved this game so much. Can't wait to see Santa.

My measurement of quality going in was how far I need to scroll to see EKS. Very high quality.

The nature of the basic research beast. There are grad student written astrophysics/comp chemistry spaghetti codes that continue to get big funding for the sole reason (it feels like) that they scale huge and eat up DOE supercomputing time "look how fast (we burn money)". Maybe a hot take.

It tickled me too - and TBH I got sidetracked by the misspelling when my browser pointed it out in the HN comment box :)

Confusing. Inscrutible. But groundbreaking if we can pull it off.

You know what gets lift? Correct spelling (inscrutable)! Unless they chose that word specifically to misspell but that's meeting more than halfway.

Right - e.g., if you're modeling a physical system it makes sense to bake in some physics - like symmetry.

Intended as analogy - but it is essentially a description of the DMRG algorithm (quantum chem). Only pair-wise operators there but the theory approaches exact when there are enough terms in your tensor product (iterations ~ depth) and a large enough embedding dimension.

There are no constraints on how the data transforms.

Except those implicit in your learned representation. And that representation could be the MB WF.

QM would tell us the order of your Hamiltonian (attention operator) doesn’t limit the complexity of the wave function (hidden state). It might be more efficient to explicitly correlate certain many-body interactions, but pair-wise interactions, depth and a basis (hidden state dimension) approaching completeness "are all you need”.

ugh.. i <3 emacs. Thanks for this tidbit.

I enjoyed this comment on many levels.

and pipx.

How boxed in is cosmology by the cosmological principle? If we - as an example - didn't assume the cosmological constant was constant and expected it to vary over large distances, could we arrive at a working model of the universe? maybe high density dark matter/energy regions are the same as regions of high/low values of the CC. It's late.

edit; did some digging - looks like its actually and active area: https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=13446...

...must function unfastened from current PsyOps doctrine which prohibits communicating any PsyOps type message or meme to US domestic audiences.

PsyOps doctrine is an interesting way of saying "the law"... at least until NDAA 2012: https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/5736.

Common blocks for the win.

proven in science

What does this mean?

Sounds like this restaurant owner has some friends high up on the force?

Here, here. Science = the scientific method. It should be nothing more.

I saw how straight the stick figure's back was and laughed out loud to myself.

Compute moat. aka cash moat. It's a deep one, too.

There is a package for querying dataframes with SQL: https://github.com/yhat/pandasql/. I assumed this was going to be LLM -> SQL -> Pandas.

Based on what I've seen in this thread: Alternate title: Dystopian/surreal/weird/huh? SCI-FI premise generation.

computational chemistry RANDOM IDEA Create a startup that utilizes AI and computational chemistry to develop personalized medicine for rare diseases in children. Use large repositories of biological data and bleeding edge deep learning techniques to analyze and understand the unique genetic makeup of each patient, and develop tailored treatment plans based on their specific needs. This will revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry.

Very grand vision.

started writing research papers about the safety issues with ChatGPT;

Feels strange that academia would focus so much energy on a product.

I have recently wondered about this. When we talk about the big bang, the mostly-uniform CMB, accelerated expansion, etc. aren't we always axiomatically presuming the correctness of the cosmological principle (which, in a hand-wavy way says the universe plays the same game everywhere). I would think all we can say confidently is that the principle is working out in our locale.

I like logseq because it's one of the few editors to support org-mode (besides emacs).

Some of the funniest lorum ipsum I've seen in awhile.

Definitely don’t want to Judge Ito one of the biggest financial crime cases of the decade.

Though, I couldn’t help googling the judge and she’s had some interesting cases lately involving various Trump related things. She had to recuse herself there as well because her husband was in talks with the Mueller investigation. I guess this is more common than I’d think for prominent DC connected families.

When the FBI (i.e. the federal government) is asking a public company to censor you... I'd say it's getting dicey. If we don't have a free speech problem, then we have an abuse of executive powers problem - but we already knew that.

One might argue Twitter didn't have to take the censorship advice from the feds but IMO they shouldn't be doing this type of lobbying adversarial to US citizens.

more scorn and spite directed towards Teslas

maybe cat is out of the bag that the interior feels like that of a power wheels?

I'd also like to know how to tell the difference between "owning the libs" and "saying things the libs don't happen to like". I guess one implies a purely troll motive.
