• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨turing completeness⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, it probably wasn’t about an existing language, but about some guy studying what would become high level languages. Like studying linkers and symbolic representation of programs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨turing completeness⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  LLM are not the path to go forward to simulate a person, this is a fact. By design they cannot reason, it’s not a matter of advancement, it’s literally how they work as a principle. It’s a statistical trick to generate random texts that look like thought out phrases, no reasoning involved.

  If someone tells you they might be the way forward to simulate a human, they are scamming you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨turing completeness⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like it because people don’t shut up about it and insist everyone should use it when it’s clearly stupid.

  LLMs are language models, they don’t actually reason (not even reasoning models), when they nail a reasoning it’s by chance, not by design. Everything that is not language processing shouldn’t be done by an LLM. Viceversa, they are pretty good with language.

  We already had automated reasoning tools. They are used for industrial optimization (i.e. finding optimal routes, finding how to allocate production, etc.) and no one cared about those.

  As if it wasn’t enough. The internet is now full of slop. And hardware companies are warmongering an arms race that is fueling an economic bubble. And people are being fired to be replaced by something that will not actually work in the long run because it does not reason.

  I’ll try to find it later, I read he said that in a book from Martin Davis

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨turing completeness⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Neural networks don’t simulate a brain, it’s a misconception caused by their name. They have nothing to do with brain neurons

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨turing completeness⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If Turing was alive he would say that LLMs are wasting computing power to do something a human should be able to do on their own, and thus we shouldn’t waste time studying them.

  Which is what he said about compilers and high level languages (in this instance, high level means like Fortran, not like python)

  Most restaurants serve alcohol and are good for kids. What’s your point?

  I think you can read the address in letters you find around in Central Executive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone know what's inside this building?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Telephone exchanger. And as a consequence a lot of espionage occurred there, but just because it’s a big telephone exchanger, not because that’s its purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone know what's inside this building?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, the oldest house is just on the other side of the street

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OMG! Trumps!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a meme trend of finding inexistent references to people and characters in unrelated stuff, and then pointing it out as a clickbait YouTube thumbnail. In this meme, I came across the verb “trumps” and interpreted it as the plural of the name “Trump”

  But what about the surname? Grandoni basically means Very Big. The coincidences keep piling up for Mr. Very Big Dino

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI be like⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In this context “weight” is a mathematical term. Have you ever heard the term “weighted average”? Basically it means calculating an average where some elements are more “influent/important” than others, the number that indicates the importance of an element is called a weight.

  One oversimplification of how any neural network work could be this:

  • The NN receives some values in input
  • The NN calculates many weighted averages from those values. Each average uses a different list of weights.
  • The NN does a simple special operation on each average. It’s not that what the operation actually is, but it must be there. Without this, every NN would be a single layer.
  • The modified averages are the input values for the next layer.
  • Each layer has different lists of weights.
  • In reality this is all done using some mathematical and computational tricks, but the basic idea is the same.

  Training an AI means finding the weights that give the best results, and thus, for an AI to be open-source, we need both the weights and the training code that generated them.

  Personally, I feel that we should also have the original training data itself to call it open source, not just weights and code.

  Nope, Alan Wake is voiced by Matthew Porretta (Darling) but acted by Ilkka Villi. Just like Alex Casey and Max Payne are acted by Sam Lake (the creative director of Remedy) but voiced by James McCaffrey (Director Trench)

  There are two DLCs, Foundation and AWE, did you get both? I think AWE is good, but Foundation is really great
