I agree with the author. The idea of "collateral knowledge" or "chain of learning" is definitely important for personal understanding and learning. However, I think depending on the person, ChatGPT actually helps the chain of learning rather than hinders.

I would love if someone forks this and turns it into an AI competition. Like that social network only for bots, this would be a runescape server only for bots.

I meant for completion, chat and embedding. https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/chat/t... . Some examples here.

Vertex AI has the same API as PaLM as far as I know. However, the authorization is through Google Cloud. So I use it like any other GCP API.

I love the idea of adding fine tuning as a node though. Here is the API for creating a model tuning job - https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/models...

I wish I could use ChainForge nodes in Node Red.

I am not a physicist, but the "no probabilities" problem could just be solved with a constant offset right? Or just say that whichever direction the marble rolls is the zero degree mark.

I don't see how "no cause" problem is fully true either. The system has potential energy due to the marble being places at the top of the dome, so that was the cause.

I love this dichotomy, formalists vs. nominalists. As the author argues, it's not very useful with respect to defining intelligence and LLMs.

It is however a wonderful world building detail in Anathem by Neal Stephenson. Their world history revolves around two ideologies: the syntactics and the semantics. Nominalists and Formalists. I find his predictions about a society built around this duality entertaining.

I use https://qrng.anu.edu.au/ as a quantum RNG sometimes to make decisions. If my choices are deterministic and not influenced by quantum randomness, then my choices are deterministic. Even if Everett's interpretation is true, my multiverse selves are doing the same things that I am doing.

If I use a quantum RNG to make decisions I will spice up my life in alternate realities. Mexican food or Vietnamese tonight? Use the quantum RNG to decide and get both across the multiverse.

I would recommend Walter Mischel's 2014 book "The Marshmallow Test." He argues that the power of the marshmallow test is not in demonstrating that some children innately have more self-control than others, but in revealing how this skill can be cultivated and improved with practice and the right strategies.

I think the critiques are completely valid, Mischel did not account for many variables like socioeconomic status, family environment, etc. However, I do not believe it necessarily disproves his conclusion of being able to cultivate skills like self-control.

Some people once tried to convince me "the harder the truth to tell, the truer the friend that tells it." Like you say, in some cases this may be true.

I have personally learned that acceptance of a harder truth is a privilege that has to be earned. I think it's more about trust than friendship, at least in the management context.

I didn't consider many options to be honest. Medium was just an easy way to start writing. I am planning on moving to a platform where I have more control (was thinking self-hosted static html) eventually. Do you have a favorite alternative?

I just started doing one article per week challenge in late may. I have been keeping up with it, and am proud of some of my work. https://medium.com/@k0ryk

topics are pretty random, but software engineering adjacent: rtl sdr, home automation, air quality monitoring, nature.

Here is my most recent, a response to a post on here from last week about the hidden cost of air quality monitors: https://medium.com/@k0ryk/air-quality-monitoring-hidden-cost...
